I probably should have read more about it before I popped in with my young companion. R.
The tea guy asked me about the age of R and I was a bit taken back. As another reviewer noted, there is a no children policy.
But, we just walked 20 min to this place and I really want to see some cats. I told him I would be responsible for everything for R. I put him in a difficult spot but he was very accommodating and kind. I don’t know if the other review was having a bad day or whatever, but he was super nice and looked as if he felt bad for me and R. Note: if I know this policy existed I would have not taken R.
My dude knows his tea. He told me all about the tea like a sommelier talks about wine. And you can keep rebrew the tea to your heart desire. R got a huge cup of coco. We also got little macaroons.
As I was leaving, I had a chat with the tea guy and found the real story behind the policy. I have to say, I agree with him. This is not a place for children. The only none caffeinated drink is the chocolate. (delish by the way, just sweet enough but not cloyingly sweet which R much preferred. ) Giving a child caffeinated drinks is just asking for trouble.
You can tell the the tea guy really loves what he does and care a lot for the shop and the cats. He seem disappointed I didn’t for a 2nd brew. Truth is I really wanted to but I also can see R was ready to go. Total shame, because the tea was truly lovely. And I feel I can sip tea and knit there all day. R said 10 stars on the cold chocolate.
Thank you my tea guy for making an exception for us and not turn us away. Much appreciated.
TLDR : The cats are lovely, the place is lovely, the people are lovely, and the drink, and food are lovely. Leave the kids at home and enjoy time...
Read moreIt was the worst service i ever had. They took too long to get the order ready. We were 3 people, we order 1 tea and 2 hot chocolate, 2 orders of toast and 1 muffin. My order was the last one to arrived, my friends already finished their drinks and toast when my hot chocolate and muffin arrived. So disappointed of this place, how could be possible that 1 person has their tea and the rest of the table have nothing, then 2 people in the table have their full order and then the 3rd person have nothing. Unbelievable, what’s more. The hot chocolate wasn’t warm at all. Unbelievable!!! Not recommend this...
Read more進去的時候店裡一個人也沒有只有店裡的兩隻貓貓,本來很擔心餐點會不會很糟糕,幸好還不錯。
老闆看起來很斯文靦腆,上茶的時候會細心講解茶葉的來源和特色。不過店家似乎不會主動提供菜單只會拿飲料單,因為希望客人自己帶食物?
飲料— 俄羅斯紅茶/150元:喝起來有點太淡了可能點熱的比較出味吧
雲頂上的王族部落:這款茶葉喝起來味道很棒,不會澀且帶點果香。
餐點— 英式鹹布丁(toad in the hole,現已無供應):香料味太重而且很大真的吃不完,價格也是貴貴的,要280。口感Q彈裡面有很多香料和幾根香腸。
冰/熱司康(+無花果和奶油):這個司康是我吃過最好吃的,不過熱的比冰的好吃很多,不管是口感或香味。熱的外皮酥內部扎實,搭配果醬很好吃,不過果醬要另外加錢,無花果20奶油40。
熔岩巧克力蛋糕(現已無供應):巧克力很濃厚,口感綿密細緻,價格不會太貴,適合搭配不會太甜的茶。
整體而言,該店的價格偏高,不過茶葉和甜點都滿不錯的,店家坐落離台南車站不遠的寧靜小巷中,客人不多也很安靜,想放鬆並品嘗好茶的人可來一試。 今天中午(2019/7/9)再度二訪,不知道為什麼總覺得店裡的三隻貓咪又肥了點呢(重點誤
來的時候雖然已經先吃過越南小吃當午餐,也知道店家希望專心泡茶,所以比較不會主動提供點心單給客人,不然會分心。不過因為很喜歡店家的食物,所以我還是點了點心來吃XDD(欠打
飲料– 阿薩米卡/190元:老闆說是阿薩姆跟大吉嶺的混種。顏色滿清澈的,不深,喝起來口感滿舒服的,茶味也頗佳。 不知道為什麼色澤和味道有點像之前我之前喝過的梨山紅茶。我忘記梨山紅茶是大葉還小葉種烏龍但做成紅茶。好吧我的味覺真的很遲鈍,搞不好把兩種味道差很多的茶放在一起比XD
飛躍的情人/170元:這款茶是後來加點的。因為聽到名字就覺得很有趣,不管是茶名或莊園名字都很浪漫呢。茶湯顏色好像比前面的阿薩米卡稍重,喝起來味道較奔放的感覺(?)不是比較純粹的茶香,還滿活潑的。
點心– 熱司康+德文郡凝脂奶油醬/45元+40元: 雨露微亮的司康我去年吃過後就念念不忘呢,口感不會太乾,味道也很棒,配上奶油醬整個人間仙境
