Muir’s Tea Room is expanding our days open and hours as we celebrate our Tenth year as one of West County’s most popular destinations.
Located in a stunning historic Queen Anne Victorian with a lush cottage garden on Main Street in Sebastopol, Muir’s beautiful venue offers an elaborate English/Scottish inspired High Tea. Our themed Teas are a set menu and a full meal, featuring salads, tarts, savories, finger sandwiches, scones and desserts elaborately showcased on three tier Towers. We use as many organic ingredients as possible and our entire menu is vegan, with many gluten free options. Our wholesale division supplies Northern California grocery stores, coffee shops and restaurants with our baked goods. Our fantastic talented staff genuinely enjoy working together as we create menus for our various themes for very appreciative loyal customers, many of whom travel from hours away. Most of our guests book weeks in advance, allowing us to know the numbers and flow for each day providing ease of preparation.
We are looking to add to our team with someone who can move quickly with grace while making our signature salads, small bite savories and delicate tea sandwiches as well as the vital element of plating the towers. We are open Fridays- Sundays with a typical shift of 9:30-10:00 am till 4:30- 5:00 pm.
