If I could, I would go back to London just for afternoon tea at Claridge's!
My favorite scones of all time:
Tea sandwiches:
Pastries:
And of course, tea:
Tea at Harrods was fun too! We missed their afternoon tea, but we got tea and ice cream/sorbet.
Cool ice cream/sorbet. Tiffy and I got flavors of London and flavors of Asia.
In NY, I thought Alice's Tea Cup was fun. I brought my little sister, and there were lots of little kids with their parents. There are a few locations. We went to the one @ 156 E 64th St..
The scones are bigger and a bit greasier. But the pumpkin scone was delicious!
Alice's feels more like a restaurant than a tea room. I wouldn't really linger for hours the way I would at other tea places...but everything was pretty yummy.The last tea room that I went to was Lady Mendl's @ 56 Irving Place, NY. (near Union Square). The food was better than the food at Alice's, and it's not as kid-friendly, which is fine with me because I'm not a mom. Haha.
Anyway, everything was beautiful.
This place has great cucumber sandwiches.
Scones!
Such lovely sugar cubes!
Thanks to Chanda (below) for pictures!
