Gwendolyn Neelin went to the United Kingdom in her early 20's for a fresh start, falling in love with the British culture. After moving back home, this barista-turned-baker with a passion for food, tea, and British tradition stumbled across the opportunity to take over an established tearoom in downtown Almonte and the cake crumbles seemed to fall into place, along with a lot of manifesting, hard work and support, and Gwendolyn opened her tearoom and restaurant Tea and Cake.
In this episode, we chatted about:
🇨🇰The British tea culture, including fascinating rules around table manners, food and drink etiquette, and table settings (and why Tea & Cake doesnt necessarily follow all of them)
☕️ The differences between afternoon and high tea along with some fun history facts!
👏🏼 Why breaking the rules in business is strategic and contributes to the success of your business, ultimately making it stand out
🫖 How Gwendolyn is targeting a diverse customer base to come to her tearoom rather than just primarily women
