High-tea


Today I'm excited to write about Alice's Tea Cup! I've been dying to check it out for a long time, long like a little-over-a-year long. 
And I'm glad I was not disappointed.
It was also a first time I was able to take out my new cam on a trip so image overload:





It's a cute place that serves English tea with pastries and other dishes. It runs on the Wonderland potion - teal walls with quirky decorations, intricately decorated places and teacups, colorful teapots. And nothing matches correctly here but at the same time everything looks fitting. 
Me and a friend shared a Nibble platter: cookies, chocolate scone + jam, and chicken sandwich. That scone was killer especially with fresh jam and cream. And you pair it with a tea - match made in heaven.
Sandwich was good but cookies were average. I didn't understand their policy that the Nibble's only for one person because there was no way I could finish all that.
So my friend ordered a chili soup which was good I guess, don't know what's in a good chili.
And most importantly, our tea was called Vitalitea: green tea with hibiscus, berries and lemon. A light, citrus-y taste, but the green tea could've been more present.
