Honey Cup café and its owner Mara Witt provide an elegant new space for folks to gather in one of our many neighborhoods in Manchester. Find the full background story here by publisher Carol Robidoux.

This community corner shop location has a long history of being one of those special food-centric places. Witt did her homework and the post-renovation look opens a new chapter for the local food scene as Manchester’s first tearoom.
The café and tea room is open Tuesday- Sunday 7 a.m.- 3 p.m. and a traditional afternoon tea service is available by reservation every Saturday and Sunday at 2 p.m. (or by special reservation at other times).
Ribbon cutting comments about the Honey Cup Cafe
Mayor Ruais thanked Witt for “taking a chance on Manchester” and offered an open door anytime she and new small community businesses like hers needed anything. Manchester Economic Development Director Jodie Nazaka spoke excitedly about the “shift happening in Manchester,” the timeliness of addressing the new evolving demographics of the city and of her own fond memories of sharing time and space and a meal with her own mom in this very location.


Behind the scenes, the staff is a pretty cool group of people, too!
