Savanna and Steep is the heartchild of Sonya Burnham, a seasoned corporate professional turned hospitality visionary. With over 30 years of experience in banking, consulting, and healthcare, Sonya brings her passion for people, storytelling, and good food to life through this pop-up afternoon tea bistro. As Founder and Managing Director, Sonya created Savanna and Steep to celebrate connection — inspired by her British and Guyanese roots, a love of fine tea, and the joy of unhurried conversation.

​

In partnership with The Angel Nyack, Savanna and Steep found its perfect home — a welcoming space where community, culture, and conversation meet over beautifully curated tea experiences. What began as a personal dream soon expanded into a broader vision: In addition to a delightful meal, guests can browse and shop in "The Boutique" at Savanna and Steep, a curated space that offers local and emerging entrepreneurs a platform to showcase and sell their products.

​

When you visit Savanna and Steep, you're not just having tea — you’re stepping into Sonya’s vision of grace, flavor, and meaningful moments, all while supporting a thriving community of makers and dreamers.
