As my wallet is slimming down at a whopping, jealousy inducing speed, and I am running out of places to review in Edinburgh, once again I find myself at a place that is not a traditional tea room. Natural Food Kafe on Clerk Street is a small shop specialising in health foods. They opened last … Continue reading Natural Food Kafe (Edinburgh)

Black Medicine (Edinburgh)
It's a student/hipster Edinburgh staple - and yes, I know I'm stretching it a lot by going here for a tea review, but with storm Gertrude running amok I felt like comfort and no more than a short walk. So Black Medicine it is! This is, by all accounts, a coffee shop. Don't be tricked … Continue reading Black Medicine (Edinburgh)
Hula (Edinburgh)
After visiting the farmers' market on Castle Terrace (check it out, it's pretty nice!), my friend and I decided to pop into Hula for a quick cup of tea. Considering we already treated ourselves to a German pastry at the market, we were really quite stuffed so we didn't have anything to eat. I know … Continue reading Hula (Edinburgh)
The Willow Tea Rooms (Glasgow)
As we are running out of afternoon tea places in hometown Edinburgh, my partner and I decided to go outside of our bounds and go to exotic Glasgow for afternoon tea last weekend. We took the whole day off, it started snowing - it was quite a beautiful and energising trip! We decided to take … Continue reading The Willow Tea Rooms (Glasgow)
PekoeTea (Edinburgh)
And we're back! It's the first tea room review of 2016, and we're back in Edinburgh. This time we decided to visit PekoeTea, a local tea brand that in 2010 opened their first teashop/bar. It's a cute, wee little tea bar just outside of the centre, so it's not going to be crowded. Although there are only a … Continue reading PekoeTea (Edinburgh)
Café Reichard (Cologne)
Boom! We're now a travel blog! My partner and I went home for the holidays and after all the Christmas market bacchanal we decided to get a nice cup of calming tea. Since we were at the centre of Köln one of the main places to visit would be Café Reichard, so we decided to … Continue reading Café Reichard (Cologne)
Casa Angelina (Edinburgh)
After our London expedition, it was time for us to return back North once again. Here in bonnie Scotland, and specifically homebase Edinburgh, it was time for another tea room review. Having already looked at some of the bigger ones, we now had to branch out of the centre a little bit - and I … Continue reading Casa Angelina (Edinburgh)
Yumchaa (Camden)
We went down to London to visit some friends this weekend, and decided to go to Yumchaa for afternoon tea. This was a ... troubled trip, as the north of England had been flooded and there were lots of cancelled trains. For us this meant that we had to move our booking to 1 day later. … Continue reading Yumchaa (Camden)
Eteaket(Edinburgh)
So I actually graduated last week! And to celebrate, we went to check out another tea room. Eteaket is a well established brand of its own, it even featured at the Baftas 2015. Even so, I had never heard of it and so had no preconceived ideas about the place clouding my judgements at all. … Continue reading Eteaket(Edinburgh)
Anteaques (Edinburgh)
Last Saturday my partner and I went to Anteaques, a small tea room and antiques store in the centre of Edinburgh. First thing that hits you when entering are that it's really tiny; there's only space for 4 in the front room, and 8 in the back. Make sure to book a table if you … Continue reading Anteaques (Edinburgh)
