Really enjoyed the Pinkies up Springtime Tea! Expansive assortment of sweet and savory treats, great selection of teas, really cute space. It's quite loud, though and on Sunday there was a DJ.

Like the food and service, however don’t like being nickel and dimed. A service charge for the use of a credit card, a service charge for the sidewalk…yes, the sidewalk, and a service charge for the kitchen staff.

Overall it was really fun to try out a new brunch spot outside of our neighborhood. We enjoyed ourselves with yummy food, a quiet table in the corner and wonderful service. We were surprised to see a big dog come in and sit under their table with barking and eating off of the floor as they gave the dog some bacon?! I’m allergic to dogs and thought only service animals would be allowed inside the restaurant even though they allow dogs in the hotel next door. Our server was thoughtful enough to say she could talk to her manager and I let her know since we were leaving she didn’t need to address it for our sake right away. I hope this can be enforced and clearly written in the expectations of dining at this restaurant so we could comfortably return. Thanks, A brunch lover patron
