Dietary Needs & Allergies
Gluten-free and vegetarian accommodations are available with advance notice and may include an additional charge.
While we take care in preparing gluten-free requests and use practices intended to minimize cross-contact, our kitchen is not a dedicated gluten-free facility and we cannot guarantee the complete absence of gluten.
Due to the nature of our menus and preparation, we are unable to accommodate vegan, dairy-free, egg-free, or sugar-free requests. Please share any food allergies or dietary needs when making your reservation so we can confirm whether we are able to accommodate them safely.
Afternoon tea at Panache is a paced, hosted experience prepared in advance. Reservations and pre-order selections are required so we can prepare your service with care. Most seatings last approximately 90 minutes. Walk-ins are welcome when space and preparation allow.
Please note: Tea experiences are per-guest (no sharing - lighter tea experiences are available), selections are fixed (no substitutions), and gluten-free/vegetarian requests must be noted in advance; menu & pricing change seasonally.
