Tea & trolley hours

Trolleys roll at the weekend.

On Saturdays and Sundays the carts do laps from opening until 14:30 — flag one down, point, and we stamp your card. On weekdays, everything is cooked to order from the menu.

Weekend queue tips

The line moves fast if you know the drill.

  1. Come before 10:15. The first sitting fills the room within twenty minutes.

  2. Give your group size at the door. We call names in English, Cantonese and Mandarin.

  3. Tables for two move fastest. Groups of eight or more can book a round table on weekdays.

  4. Bring the kids. Prams park by the window and high chairs are always ready.
