The tea room began as a dream of long time friends Sara Velasquez and Chris Kruse. Years of raising a family and pursuing busy careers gave both women a need for times of peace and restoration in the midst of a hurried life style. They found their need met when they took the time to enjoy quiet moments over tea. Eventually, they became such tea enthusiasts that the idea of sharing the tea experience with others became a passion. Their hope was to minister to the community, through tea, in this historic treasure of a home.
Soon their family members joined in the journey and became
partners in the tea business. The main proprietors are now Sara Velasques, Chris Kruse and Ethan Kruse.
They believe afternoon teas reflect a serene and gracious tradition and that taking tea is a comforting ritual, an occasion of good cheer, and a time of sharing special delights. At Sweet Shalom, with a cup of fragrant tea and delectable sweets and savories, made by those who care, you are secure and safe from the hurried pace of the world.
The name “Sweet Shalom Tea Room” was inspired by the biblical word “shalom”. The definition includes peace, harmony, completeness, wholeness, wellness and perfection. We invite you then, to tea, with its promise of hours of good conversation, quiet contentment and shalom.

I am still under the delightful spell of Sweet Shalom. I visited there on Saturday and my experience was unbelievable. My blood pressure must have dropped to zero, I was so relaxed by the time I left for home. The ambiance was peaceful, beautiful and warm. |
