private dining
Our tea room is available for private parties, birthdays, team meetings, rehearsal dinners, or otherwise more secluded seating. Please contact us to enjoy our private dining.
Cake & Pastry Ordering
We offer layered buttercream cakes, cheesecakes, and mini-muffins for custom design with a 2 week’s notice. Large orders of our seasonal items are also available with a 1 week minimum notice. A rush fee is applied for lesser notice.
Catering
& Events
Plantry provides both a limited setup or full service catering for off-site events. This includes table decor, bar needs, and staffing for guest tending and venue cleanup. We work best through communication early in the planning stages to facilitate a collaboration for all of our customers’ needs.
Business lunches
Having snacks, coffee, or tea brought to the office is a staff morale booster any day of the week. If you are a local business that would like to set up recurring weekly or monthly orders with us, let us know and we can establish a subscription delivery service with benefits like new menu sampler previews and complementary coffee on minimum monthly purchase orders.
special menus
We believe in a fresh harvest menu: we shop at farmers’ markets and rotate our weekly and monthly selections based on seasonal produce. Our once a week Friday night dinners are available for wine pairings with education from our sommelier as you course through a tasting menu.
Reservation required. Contact us ahead with your party size and any special winery requests.
Monthly high tea brunches
Step into timeless elegance with friends or family as you enjoy a traditional tiered afternoon tea service featuring chef’s choice of tea sandwiches, almond flour biscuits with clotted cream, sweet or savory scones with The Preservatory jam, and a selection of our favorite pastries.
Contact us for reservations. Dates to be determined monthly.

Tidbits around the cafe: These small framed images are from the 1800’s, originally published in Scotland as part of a 40 volume series, “The Naturalist’s Library.” They were drawn from life, as in with the critters in front of the artist. Then they were colored from wood etching, whereby the image is etched into wood, and ink is applied to the wood with the paper then placed upon it to take up the color. They were found in Baton Rouge at an estate sale in a plastic bin in a garage. Favorites were picked out and taken to be framed to give them a new life at Plantry. (They’re centered by a modern local piece from the older sister of a girl from Dr. Crifasi’s high school class @laurenbarksdalehillart.)
Tidbits around the cafe: A Hare’s Tale. The first of Hareold’s many chapters, eventually to be used as parchment paper for to-go items. 📜

How we feel about high tea 🫖
Chef Shannon and I are making a superfood detox tea bark for the women attending Lynn Duhe’s talk at Plantry tomorrow night. The topics are hormone balance and skin health. I’m going to give a brief introduction about how our skin starts with our food. Light menu bites will be served.

Want a custom gluten-free, plantbased, better than “regular” made platter or hors d’oeuvres for your gathering… or yourself at home? Give us a week or 2 for notice; it’s one of the things we do best.

Hi there! I have received several inquiries about whether or not I am privately taking patients. My priority at the moment is starting the success of Plantry. While I am currently practicing medicine at local hospitals, I am not practicing in an office or performing any concierge medicine at this time. I look forward to expanding for a holistic medical center a year or two out in the future.
Although I do have several health-minded industries for which I have provided catering or event space, I am not in partnership with any practices and any practice I cater for or provide event space for is not an indication of any business relationship, personal insight of their practice, or condoning of their practice or products. I do welcome everyone where they are on their health and culinary journey!
