The focal point of the gift shop is Pinecroft's own unique earthenware and stoneware pottery. Showcased as well are carefully chosen gift items to suit every customer. Highlights over the past years have been Dornbusch lamp shades of real leaves and flowers, Quebec woodcarvings and Paul Brunelle's wildlife in clay.

The Gift Shop supplies a mosaic of unique Canadian made souvenirs and handcrafts reflecting the culture and character of Elgin County, Ontario and Canada. "Gifts" from Pinecroft grace homes from Holland to Japan!

Green Frog Tea Room

The Tearoom began in 1978 as a celebration of 30 years in business for Pinecroft. Its namesake is a large frog carved from stone some 125 years ago, now green with moss and age. The green frog resides peacefully beside the tumbleway. In earlier times, in St. Thomas, it was used as a stand for mounting horses and entering carriages. It is now the caretaker of our pond.

The tearoom began by serving tea, muffins and homemade bread. Now homecooked country lunches are specialties of the tearoom. Fresh baked bread and rolls, soups, salads, sandwiches and luncheon features with croissants, crepes and patty shells fill the menu. Seasonal desserts include rhubard crisp and strawberry shortcake.

Throughout the year various evening meals are presented at Thanksgiving and Christmas, or by special appointment.
