Mother’s Day is coming up this weekend, and for the first time ever, Ikea Richmond is offering high tea to go with your Tänkvärd.

On Sunday, May 12, the furniture store will introduce its high tea service “with a Swedish twist.”

“We love bringing people together through food so are very excited to offer our Mother’s Day High Tea experience this Sunday,” said Aideen Butler, Ikea’s Marketing Specialist for B.C. in an email to the Richmond News.

Tickets are good for two people and include a selection of sandwiches, pastries and Ikea’s own blend of teas.

Guests will be able to choose from savoury treats such as a Swedish gravid lax tea sandwich or a cheese and leek pie with caramelized onions. Sweet treats on the menu include mini cinnamon buns, lemon lingonberry squares and Swedish almond cake.

Two seatings are scheduled, one at 1 p.m. and a second at 3 p.m. Tickets can be purchased from the Ikea Richmond restaurant and are $24.99 a pair for Ikea Family members or $29.99 for non-members.
