Elysian Fields Artisan Bakery & Dainties is a familyowned and operated European patisserie known for its variety of fresh, made-from-scratch pastries, that are baked fresh daily using all-natural, high-quality ingredients and never from a mix or synthetic substitutes.
The tasty treats offered at Elysian Fields are made even better when enjoyed during the bakery’s High Tea service.
“Stepping into the bakery and trying one of the treats creates a sweet moment in your day, and the high tea is an opportunity to make the most of that experience,” said owner LaRee Johnson.
True to their European heritage, Elysian Fields embraces high tea as a beloved tradition. Customers can choose between two options, Afternoon Tea, featuring more savory options such as finger sandwiches, English scones with clotted cream, and pastries, and Cream Tea, which is more focused on sweets.
When enjoying tea, many guests choose to dress up to their preferred level of fancifulness and are served on the patio with fine china and beautifully arranged trays – making it a perfect way to enjoy time with your favorite people. The High Teas are also very popular for special occasions such as birthdays, Easter, and Mother’s Day.
At tea, or during a quick visit to the bakery, guests will have their pick from a variety of American classics like chocolate chip cookies and cupcakes, alongside traditional European items such as croissants, tiramisu, cannolis, and more. Plus, first-time visitors receive a complimentary specialty shortbread cookie of their choice.
What visitors might not realize is that the multigenerational family are also avid gardeners and have used their love of flowers and gardening to inspire their creations – distilling their own extracts used in their confections, as well as in creating handmade perfumes and beeswax candles.
In addition to its regular assortment of treats, the bakery also offers custom orders including cakes, cupcakes, pastries, dessert tables, and more. They’ve brought their customer’s ideas to life by creating everything from elegant wedding cakes to a fully edible Dungeons & Dragons board.
“We’re here to make people smile and help make them feel special – whether they’re ordering something custom for themselves, or a loved one,” said LaRee. “Everyone has ideas that are unique to them, whether it’s a flavor combination or design, and we do our best to bake well-balanced, tasty, and beautiful confections that are sure to delight even the most particular critics.”
