Wait - Prague? Yes Prague! Last week has been awfully quiet on this blog (but not on our Instagram or Facebook *hint hint*), because my lovely partner whisked me away to lovely, wonderful Prague. This city y'all. It's so gorgeous and romantic, and the cultural history is just such a quintessential aspect of it all … Continue reading Cafe Savoy (Prague)
Another Sunday, another cheat day! For this week's review we went to Patisserie Valerie, marking this our first large chain review! Patisserie Valerie, of course, is a UK wide chain known mostly for their cake slices and hot drinks. But you would be amiss to forget that they also do afternoon tea (£25 for 2)! … Continue reading Patisserie Valerie (Edinburgh)
It was an exceptionally gorgeous weekend here up North, so when a friend came up for a weekend visit we thought a day trip to Stirling would be in order. We hiked up Dumyat and had a brief wander in Stirling city, before resting our feet for a quick cream tea. The best tea place … Continue reading Darnley Coffee House (Stirling)
It's unbelievable but true. Dear reader, I kid you not. The weather here has been really nice lately! The sun was out all day and it was not too wet for once, which combined with my new job makes me giddy for spring time! To prematurely celebrate spring (which will probably actually take another half … Continue reading Mimi’s Picnic Parlour (Edinburgh)
Ehm, shall we say it's still Monday? Yeah... So anyways, yesterday was a rarely seen lovely day here up the North, and my partner and I decided to go for a trip to Leith (if you're not from Edinburgh, this may just be the best introduction to Leith). We had a wonderful little day trip - … Continue reading Mimi’s Bakehouse (Leith)
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)
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)
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)
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)
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)
