Basically British Tea Room

The monthly menu for afternoon tea includes a pot of tea for each person, with the tea chosen from a collection of sixty or more varieties. We have selected teas we feel will be especially interesting, many of which have won international awards over the last few years. In addition, all the teas are available for purchase loose by the ounce at our tea bar in the main retail area.

Basically British is located in downtown Dayton in an old building known as The Cannery. In past years, the building was extensively remodeled to incorporate almost two hundred lofts, along with several retail establishments. Two art galleries, a wine shop and café, a cocktail lounge, and a nationally-recognized full-service salon, as well as Basically British call The Cannery home.The style of the building makes a particularly suitable setting for us: high ceilings, brick walls, elegant woodwork, attractive windows, hardwood floors, etc.

The menu for Fdebruary is shown below. The price is $20.95 plus tax, which includes all the items on the list.

Due to limited seating and the fact that food is baked fresh each day, we require reservations. Please call:
