Harriet's Cafe Tearooms

Harriet's Cafe Tearooms: tearooms in Bury St Edmunds and Norwich

Harriet's Cafe Tearooms runs two tearooms, one in Bury St Edmunds (Suffolk) and one in Norwich. Both are described as fully licensed and offer outside seating during the summer months. Service is delivered by waitresses in period uniforms, in what the company presents as elegant surroundings.

Afternoon tea delivered across the UK

Alongside the tearooms, the business sells afternoon tea boxes for delivery throughout the United Kingdom. Boxes are offered in sizes of one or two; for larger quantities or orders going to several addresses, the company asks customers to send the order by email or through its contact form. To guarantee delivery before 4pm on a chosen date, orders must be placed two days in advance.

Shop collections

The online shop is organised into the following collections:

• Afternoon Tea Boxes
• Loose Leaf Tea
• Whole Bean Coffee
• Cakes and Sweets
• Tea Infusers
• Jams and Preserves
• Gift Vouchers and E-Gift Card

The range therefore extends beyond the tearoom service into packaged tea, coffee and preserves, as well as vouchers that can be given as gifts.

Buffets and events

For larger requirements, Harriet's handles buffets and events, with a dedicated catering menu and a separate buffet menu. The company invites enquiries through its contact channels for this type of order.

Picnic punting in Cambridge

In March 2023 the company announced a partnership with the Traditional Punting Company to offer a picnic punting experience in Cambridge. According to the announcement, guests enjoy fresh, home-made treats while taking in the sights of Cambridge from the water.
