ENJOY!!! is about quality tea and tea sandwiches, luscious homemade scones and crunchy crumpets, delicious soup and crustless quiche, fresh and healthy salads, interesting specialty sandwiches, wonderful vanilla, chocolate and strawberry ice cream available in various presentations, one knock-out,, full-bodied coffee from Hawaii and more!
And ENJOY!!! is about life.
More important than the treats listed above, ENJOY!!! is about the joys of life and love of people and awareness of the difficulties and sorrows of life, at the same time.
ENJOY!!! welcomes everyone who walks through our doors and wants them to feel glad they have come in. Say hello, buy something, buy nothing, sit down to eat or not, shop or not. We will be so happy to see you. We make friends very easily and we keep them.
Please come and visit and get to know us and we will tell you what we love about the Village of Ossining! It starts with people!
My practice grew and I moved to a store front office which presently serves as our Tea Room. Along the way, while very happily and busily occupied with my practice with individuals, couples and families, more space, another strore front space became available on the west side of my therapy office. That space is on the corner and if you sit in the right spot across from the front door, you can experience the wonder of sunsets over the mighty Hudson River. I could not resist and I took that space as well. Perhaps a place for group work, I thought. Instead, I decided to try something different and I began ENJOY!!! A Village Gift Shop. I remodeled a bit, went to the New York Gift Show, spent a lot of money at Staples and, with the help of family and friends, started a new venture working my hours around my therapy pracice.
The gift shop was fun but not quite busy enough to suit my energy level and I began to think about the possibility of combining the two spaces. The often stated wish of my father came to mind - that his six daughters start a dine or a luncheonette. It was a little late for that but maybe this daughter could start a tea room.
With the agreement of the landlord I broke through the old brick wall and connected the two spaces -- ENJOY!!! Tea Room and Gift Shop!
