Gather 22’s High Tea Is Here. Here’s Why It’s Worth Booking.
This isn’t your standard scone-and-jam affair.
Held on Gather 22’s garden veranda, the service features a curated menu of globally inspired bites—each tier of the tea tower telling a different story. Alongside, guests choose from a broad tea menu sourced from across the world, with the option to add champagne pairings or house-crafted tea cocktails.
It’s a fresh, globally inspired take on the classic afternoon tea—served on their heated garden veranda every Thursday through Sunday from 11 AM to 3 PM. Yes, it’s elegant. Yes, it’s Instagrammable. But most importantly, it’s warm, welcoming, and incredibly well done.

What’s on the Menu?
The three-tiered tower includes a mix of sweet, savory, and baked goods with influences from Japan, France, England, Dubai, and right here in Indiana. Think Midori meringues, pistachio chocolate cannoli, French-style salmon tartlets, and bacon jam sandwiches made with bourbon and thyme. You’ll also get René’s Bakery scones.
Every booking includes your choice of tea from a globally sourced menu featuring standout blends like:
Red Nectar:Â Rooibos and honeybush from South Africa
Lord Bergamot:Â A citrusy spin on Earl Grey
Golden Light:Â A caffeine-free turmeric wellness tea
British Brunch:Â A bold English breakfast blend with a hint of smoke
Jasmine Nectar:Â Light and floral, with nectarine and cardamom
Iced teas like Hibiscus Mango and Ginger Peach are also on offer, and you can upgrade to a sparkling wine or seasonal mar{tea}ni cocktail if you’d like something with a little lift.
Who is this for?
If you're planning a spring weekend or just need a reason to step out of your routine, this is one of the most unique things to do in Indianapolis right now.
Honestly, anyone looking to do something a little different. It's perfect for birthdays, bridal showers, mom dates, or a long-overdue catch-up with friends. But it’s also for couples looking for a relaxed date idea, solo tea lovers, and yes—plenty of stylish, tea-loving men who want in on the experience. Whether you’re here for the flavor, the vibe, or just something that feels out of the ordinary, this tea service delivers.
