Learn More About Cabaret Tea Service

The term cabaret service (also known as dejeuner service) is used to designate small tea or coffee services. A typical cabaret service includes a teapot or a coffeepot, a sugar bowl, a creamer, sometimes a tray and cutlery. The tea- and coffeepots are small (one pint in a service for two, so called tête-à-tête, half a pint in a solitaire service for one). Tête-à-tête services were popular as wedding gifts.

The cabaret services originated in France, where the tea drinking was not as popular as in England, and thus small-scale arrangements for one or two were appropriate. In the 18th century silver cabaret services with fitting cases were also made for travel.
