Bon Tea — Restaurant in City of Edinburgh

My wife and I had heard this place was meant to be good so we decided to go for an afternoon tea. It was a last minute decision so we were lucky to get a table. Thankfully, I messaged the lady and she was able to jig things around and squeeze us in. The shop is very cute and pink. It feels very authentic as they add little personal touches. Between the 2 of us we had to choose 3 sandwich fillings from 5 options (I expected a few more to choose from). We ended up going with cheese & ham, tuna & mayo and egg & mayo. The afternoon tea came with scones with jam and clotted cream, a selection of small sweet treats and of course a pot of tea of your liking. I would have liked to have seen what tea’s they had available and for it to visible somewhere (the lady did list a few). Service was not bad and staff were quite friendly. We didn’t have to wait too long for our food. The sandwiches were generous and tasted as you would expect. You have the option between brown and white bread. The scones appeared a little stale on the outside but on the inside they were very soft and tasty. The jam was very jelly like but nice and the clotted cream was spot on. The sweet treats on the top layer were good. Some were tastier then others but the attention to detail was what we were most impressed about. Our favour was the cupcake with the macaron on top. Our teas cups of tea were also nice. We got a choice of homemade cakes and treats to takeaway. I went with the carrot cake and my wife had the empire biscuit. Both of which were fine. Overall, we thought it was good value and we are glad we visited. For afternoon tea standards. I’d...

Only giving a 1 star to allow me to post this review. Unfortunately, went to Mimi's but couldn't get in so decided to try Bon on Costorphine road. Wish we hadn't bothered.

Only a table of 2 in before the 3 if us yet we still waited half an hour for 2 Coffee's a cup of tea and 3 toasties. Sent my toastie back as I think they must have dropped the filling in the kitchen. It was like the old service station sandwiches that make you think the sandwiches are full and when you open it up, there's a small blob right at the front.

It was supposed to be tuna and red onion it should have been tuna surprise as it would have been a massive surprise to actually find some tuna. At £4.50 a toastie I would have expected some filling. Plus, one person tending to tables is just a way of showing how tight the owners are.

Oh, and you can't pay by card!!! Another tax dodge!!

Won't be...
