Pinkies Out Tea Parlor

Afternoon tea, served with intention.

A small, intentional afternoon tea experience inside From the Ground Up Books in Shepherdsville. Three tiered trays, freshly brewed tea, and two unhurried hours to enjoy them. Twelve seats per sitting. One sitting per day at three o'clock.

What's Included

Each guest enjoys a three-tiered tray of sweet and savory bites, freshly brewed loose-leaf tea with refills throughout the sitting, and two hours at the table from three to five o'clock.

Trays are served between every two guests and feature finger sandwiches, scones with accompaniments, and a selection of sweets. All pastries are baked fresh by Jennifer Edwards of Rolling Scone Artisan Bakery.

This is tea the way it's meant to be. Slow, beautiful, and worth showing up for.

About the Tea Parlor

Pinkies Out came from a simple idea. There should be a place in Bullitt County where you can sit down, be served a proper afternoon tea, and feel like you've stepped out of the ordinary day for a few hours.

The parlor lives inside From the Ground Up Books in Shepherdsville, in a space made for slowing down. Comfortable, quiet, and full of the kind of atmosphere that makes a tea service feel exactly right.

Tea is prepared by the team at From the Ground Up Books. Pastries are baked fresh by Jennifer Edwards of Rolling Scone Artisan Bakery, a partner whose work has been quietly delighting customers across Kentucky.

This is what we built. We hope you'll come.
