🍂 AS FALL FALLS UPON US… ALICE IS GETTING BUSIER ...wait for it
Apparently, I'm early.
Which, for the lady with ADHD, is a pretty big accomplishment.
I'm already getting September events, updates, new food, new ideas and all sorts of Alice madness organized before September actually gets here.
Perhaps the early bird really does catch the worm.
And honestly…
This is a big deal for me.
For the lady with ADHD.
The lady who thinks maybe the city that never sleeps should occasionally take a damn nap.
The smoker that can smoke because her son died
The soup maker who will tell you, without a shred of humility, that she makes some of the best soup you've ever tasted.
The artist whose knees are getting worse from repainting the bloody pink tiles.
The choreographer of Alice events.
The daydreamer who sometimes can't remember her dreams and occasionally finds herself standing in front of an open refrigerator for four minutes wondering what the hell she was looking for.
Yep.
That's me.
I am so far from perfect.
And maybe that's exactly why Alice's Teapot is beginning to pick up speed, even in August.
It isn't my strawberry coconut ground white chocolate mousse keeping us alive.
It isn't me.
It's my staff.
It's my family café members.
And it's YOU.
Our customers.
Our neighbors.
Our people.
The people who walk through our doors and bring their own energy with them.
Energy. Energy. ENERGY!
I just clicked my heels three times.
I'm here.
I'm home.
And you're welcome here anytime.
With conditions.
We are not an eau de parfum type of establishment.
We're more like walking through a lavender field wearing freshly picked scents. Or a version of poo pourri spray for those ozempic moments
We don't brag.
We don't think we're more important than the next person.
We don't feel more privileged than anyone else.
We're the Little Women of 2026.
And we wear our pride in our hearts, inside oven mitts and somewhere between a freshly roasted latte and a tray of scones coming out of the oven.
We're women who make things.
Women who build things.
Women who cook, create, decorate, sing, dream, work and occasionally lose track of why we're standing in front of the refrigerator.
And we're doing it together.
ALICE'S TEAPOT IS HARD TO DESCRIBE.
Actually…
it's almost impossible.
You can take pictures.
We take LOTS of pictures.
You can make videos.
We've had some pretty incredible TikToks.
You can describe the pink tiles.
The trees.
The lights.
The tea.
The cakes.
The scones.
The enchanted forest.
The music.
The costumes.
The food.
But somehow…
even the pictures don't completely describe Alice's Teapot.
Because Alice's Teapot isn't just a place you look at.
Alice's Teapot is a feeling.
It's the feeling when you walk through the door and suddenly, you're somewhere else.
It's the feeling when the lights come on in the trees.
It's the feeling of sitting down for tea.
It's the feeling when somebody starts singing.
It's the smell of soup simmering.
It's a warm scone with jam and clotted cream.
t's laughter.
It's nostalgia.
It's a little bit of childhood.
It's a little bit of theater.
It's a little bit of what the hell is going on here?
And somehow…
it works.
AND APPARENTLY YOU AGREE.
Because we've had some pretty exciting sold-out moments lately.
Our Saucy Sinatra Sing-Along SOLD OUT.
Our Taylor Swift Sing-Along Brunch SOLD OUT.
Our King of Pop SOLD OUT
Our Thought you were going to dinner and ended up in a show SOLD OUT
Our Decoupage and dinner SOLD OUT
Our Resin Jewelry Class SOLD OUT
And honestly?
We're still a little stunned.
So THANK YOU.
Thank you to everyone who bought a ticket, brought a friend, sang along, laughed, ate, drank and helped make those events what they were.
And don't worry…
we're going to do them again.
We're already planning another Taylor Swift Sing-Along because the demand has been incredible.
More dates coming soon.
SAVE THESE SEPTEMBER DATES
ARIANA GRANDE SING-ALONG DINNER
SEPTEMBER 12
Get ready to sing.
And eat.
And eat.
And probably sing while you're eating.
Because apparently, we don't believe dinner needs to be quiet.
SEPTEMBER 24
DECOUPAGE
And it will be happening alongside our now consistent:
FALL THURSDAY NIGHT FAMILY KARAOKE
We even have a BRUNO MARS DINNER in the works
SEPTEMBER 25
And we're also working on a:
PIPING CLASS Ny Elizabeth ; both pastry chef and manager for our cake & cupcake warriors.
We're just moments away from showing off our evening dinner menu
Did someone say winner winner chicken dinner? well not exactly- were talkin homemade chicken pot pie
That's delicious fun.
As it should be.
Jump on the magic carpet ride.
That's Not all folks
I still wake up some nights at 2 AM with scone ideas.
And soup plans.
Oh yeah…
I forgot to tell you about our grab-and-go bakery and soup.
We're talking:
Soup.
Soup.
And more soup.
The kind of soup that makes you say:
"This is better than Mom's."
Although I probably shouldn't say that.
Let's call it: the closest you can get to Mom's.
Then there's quiche.
And scones.
Scones of many flavors.
Somehow, they disappear long before the lunch rush.
Okay, I'm kidding.
Mostly.
Our neighbors know our secrets. They are ahead of the game, they stand tall, proud until they are notified that the Tuscan chicken soup is sold out
Imagine stopping at your favorite Delray Beach café and taking home homemade soup and a luscious quiche for dinner.
No cooking.
No fuss.
Just heat, eat and pretend you made it yourself.
We won't tell.
AND NOW WE NEED TO TALK ABOUT BREAD.
Our plans aren't just to serve our lunch sandwiches on artisan, handcrafted bread.
We want you to be able to buy that bread and take it home, too.
And then there are our sinful sweet yeast rolls.
We're bringing those onto the lunch menu with:
brown sugar + cinnamon butter + ham + Swiss on a sweet yeast roll.
Yeah.
I know.
You're welcome.
We're going to be baking more than ever.
So stay tuned as Alice continues to evolve.
Because we're becoming more than one thing.
We're a bakery.
A café.
A tea room.
A lunch spot.
An afternoon tea experience.
An evening dinner experience.
A place for music.
A place for art.
A place for birthdays.
A place for kids' parties.
A place for grown-up parties.
A place for soup.
A place for scones.
A place for cake.
A place for people who simply want somewhere different.
If you're searching for high tea near me, afternoon tea near me, a cute café in Delray Beach, a unique Delray Beach restaurant, or one of those restaurants in Delray Beach that doesn't feel like every other restaurant…
well…
you found us. Lastly.....
TIKTOK HAPPENED.
We're receiving somewhere between 40–70 calls a day thanks to several TikTok videos from some absolutely awesome influencers who came to visit us.
Which was…
unexpected.
Very unexpected.
We're working on handling the sudden overload, answering everyone, getting reservations organized and figuring out how to get more of you into our increasingly busy weekends. reservations organized and figuring out how to get more of you into our increasingly busy weekends.
Because yes…
some weekends are SOLD OUT.
So we're trying something new.
MORE MAGIC, MORE WAYS TO GET IN.
At 3 PM: Bring 3 and and get one FREE. (high tea)
AFTER 4 GET EVEN MORE (Were going to roll you out
The enchanted forest comes alive. The décor becomes even more whimsical.
And suddenly you're not just having dinner.
You're somewhere else.
Somewhere between Wonderland and Delray Beach.
And that's exactly where we like to be.
So as September approaches…
We're baking.
We're cooking.
We're singing.
We're painting.
We're decorating.
We're planning.
We're dreaming.
We're occasionally standing in front of open refrigerators.
And we're building something that is very much ours.
A little crazy.
Very artsy.
Very welcoming.
Very imperfect.
And very, very Alice.
As fall falls upon us…
Come and see what happens next.
Alice's Teapot Café, Bakery & Coffee Shop
Come for the tea.
Stay for the soup.
Come back for the scones.
Stay for the singing.
And if you've never been here before…
don't worry if the pictures don't quite make sense.
Some things have to be felt.
There's always room at our table.
AND TO MY FRIENDS…
I need to say this.
I'm sorry.
To the friends I've neglected.
To the people I haven't called back quickly enough.
To the people who probably wondered where the hell I disappeared to.
TikTok had other intentions.
Between the unexpected TikTok craziness, the café suddenly moving at warp speed, and some heart-valve issues and stents for my husband, life has been moving faster than I can sometimes keep up with.
And somewhere in the middle of all of that…
I've missed you.
I miss you all.
So please forgive me.
Come see me.
Come have a high tea.
Come sit at my table.
Come give me a hug.
We'll drink tea, eat something ridiculous, catch up on everything I've missed, and I'll probably tell you about the latest soup I'm obsessed with.
Because sometimes you don't realize how much you miss your people until life finally slows down enough for you to notice.
So to my friends:
I'm sorry.
I love you.
I miss you.
And I would really like to 50see your faces again.
Forgive me over a high tea and a hug
