Apple Crate Tea Room

In May of 2001 Sharon Knight and Cameron Rundle (owners of Rundle Farms Roadside Market) decided to add a tea room to their existing business. The Apple Crate Tea Room & Café was born. “Rundle’s Tea Room” (as named by many) was enjoyed by many Brighton residents and tourists until March 2005 when Sharon and Cameron retired from their business.

Since that time Sharon and her daughter, Julie Rittwage (new owner) have been looking for just the right location to re-open the tea room. After a few disappointing attempts, in late 2006 the opportunity at the new 46 Prince Edward Square location became available. After months of planning and construction The Apple Crate Tea Room & Café re-opened its doors for regular business on May 7, 2007.

The new tea room will offer the same straight-forward menu using fresh ingredients for the soups, sandwiches, and desserts made from scratch daily in the kitchen, which will be run by the Founder of The Apple Crate – Sharon! Our menu now includes a new light breakfast menu, along with lunch and afternoon tea items. The kitchen will also offer take out catering and eat-in dinner catering, again with fresh ingredients for the traditional home-cooked meals enjoyed by all.

Along with the catering and tea room the new business will offer Gift Baskets and a variety of tea and apple related foods and gifts.
