Bouchée Confections in Reno is a local gem, offering an exquisite selection of handcrafted bonbons, multi-layered desserts, and now, handcrafted gelato. They’re one of the few spots in town where you can indulge in a delightful High Tea experience, complete with made-from-scratch scones, finger sandwiches, desserts, and a variety of loose-leaf teas. Their shop also features an array of artisanal treats, including truffles, bark, chocolate bars, and more.
***You can enjoy loose-leaf tea by the pot a la carte any day of the week.
Though there are subtle differences between "High" and "Afternoon" Tea, they have evolved to be used interchangeably as restaurants have found it easy to put the two in the same category for advertising purposes.

Today, tea is enjoyed as an occasional indulgence, a way to catch up with special friends, and is used to celebrate special occasions.
Whatever the reason for tea, you can expect to delight in a lovely and cozy setting in which conversations flow easily with dainty sandwiches, premium loose leaf teas, and fine pastries to look forward to.
I am so excited to announce that we have an amazing tea service here in Reno provided by Bouchee Confections, a craft chocolate shop created and owned by Natalie, a passionate local chocolatier/pastry chef that's trained in France and has years of experience working in professional settings.
Using quality ingredients, special training, creativity, passion, and patience, Natalie meticulously concocts craft chocolates, and assortment of pastries, and finger sandwiches for her High Tea service, a special experience that elevates any day and occasion.
High Tea in Reno isn’t exactly a common offering, but I’m thrilled to say that Natalie provides one of the few—and it’s nothing short of impressive.
The amazing thing about Bouchée Confections is that High Tea is just one of the many incredible offerings at this delightful shop. Whether you’re stopping by for a latte, a handcrafted dessert, a bonbon, some gelato, or an artisanal gift from the shelves, you’re guaranteed an experience that wows your eyes and taste buds alike.
I’ve been visiting this shop for years, and Natalie has always been so welcoming and patient with me and my little ones from day one. Being the curious person I am, I can’t help but ask her questions about her craft—especially when something truly wows me (which happens often, HAHA!). Natalie has always been so gracious and happy to share her knowledge. She works tirelessly to ensure her customers have a wide array of desserts to choose from, and it’s a level of dedication that often goes unnoticed.
So, here I am, sharing my gratitude for this incredible shop and the work Natalie pours into it. I hope you’ll make it out to try some of the amazing treats at Bouchée Confections. Life truly feels sweeter with desserts that make your heart and tummy happy.
What to Expect at Bouchee's Tea Service
My service came with:
*Bottomless Premium Loose Leaf Tea
One flavor per person
*An Assortment of Fine Pastries and Desserts
My service came with lemon curd and raspberry jam. Both were so addicting and when added onto pastries with clotted cream, became an explosion of flavor.
*A Mix of Lovely China and Teapots
