vancouver needs a place that serves cream tea, stat. sure, there are places that serve high tea here but they offer finger sandwiches, cranberry scones and other bite sized sweets on a 3 tiered tray with a choice of assorted teas. and they cost like $25+ per person.
too fancy.
i want a little spot that just serves english breakfast tea, plain scones, strawberry jam and clotted cream. we are so influenced by the brits here that there SHOULD be a place like this that i can go to every weekend.
that's what i miss about england, particularly the countryside, where you can pop into a cafe anywhere to get your mid-afternoon fix.
here i am in warwick, blissed out of my mind from just having had afternoon tea
if i had the means, i would open one up myself. a little place that served cream tea and english comfort food and decorated in eccentric brick-a-bracks. it could be modeled after the tea place i went to in warwick or even tea & sympathy in new york. boy, did i love that place and would go there even by myself on the weekends.
but then again, i did recently pick up a recipe for scones and i did say i would start baking this year. and those scones would go nicely with the box of tea that sean gave me as a christmas stocking stuffer.
all i need now is a floral teapot and matching cups and saucers.
