Indulge in an elegant, three-course afternoon-tea tasting experience, inspired by formal English tea services — and created specially for sharing on Mother’s Day.

Four black Mission figs, hand-filled with spiced ganache, then enrobed in our 70% Camino Verde, Ecuador chocolate, and finished with a touch of gold leaf.
Fifteen house-made Truffles, featuring three decadent fillings: Banoffee Pie (banana caramel with a hint of rum, atop roasted-hazelnut praliné); Treacle Tart (buttery treacle caramel enhanced with California lemon and toasted breadcrumbs); and Strawberries & Cream (fraises de bois jam on strawberry vanilla-bean marshmallow).
Silky-smooth spread house-crafted with roasted Freddy Guys hazelnuts and fudgy Camino Verde, Ecuador chocolate; paired with tender, buttery Chocolate Sablés speckled with Costa Esmeraldas chocolate and French sea salt — baked by Maison Nico, the French-inspired San Francisco épicerie and café from Chef Nicolas Delaroque and his wife, Andrea Delaroque.
