Elegantly Exquisite, Perfectly Piquant & Terrifically Tasty Afternoon Tea
We had Lina’s special afternoon tea (remember to book in advance) today. As always the service was super friendly and the welcome wonderful. The special afternoon tea was delicious and amazing. It was so filling that it replaced lunch and dinner as well as tea. All the food was made in house and was delightfully arranged on three double decker cake stands for just two of us. For each of us there were eight wonderful spicy savoury items and four delicious little cakes. This was all followed for each of us by two delicious orange, cardamom and apricot scones, served warm with clotted cream and mango jam as well as a pot each of superbly spicy masala chai. My dining companion was omnivorous and hugely enjoyed the chicken tikka pie, spiced lamb burger, garlic and coriander quiche as well as a panoply of vegetarian delights. I am both vegan and gluten-free and was wonderfully catered for with sweet potato tart, aubergine pasty, hummus and olive sandwich, spiced chickpea burger followed by Mango Mousse Cake, Salted Caramel Chocolate Cake, Blueberry & Star Anise Tart, Raspberry & Mint Mille-Feuille and then the stupendous scones (Orange Cardamom & Apricot) with vegan butter and Mango Jam. We would describe the special afternoon teas as Exquisitely Elegant, Mouth-wateringly Memorable, Terrifically Tasty and Perfectly Piquant, having been moved to alliteration by the experience. The highlight of my trip and worth the three hundred...
Read moreI was googling for cafe's near the area and a place to catch up with a small gathering of friends and thank god for Google they came up with this beautiful little cafe. Me and my friends fell in love with the place! The food was amazing, such good service and the owner really made sure we felt welcomed. I had two savory dishes the cheese paratha and cruffins are a must, but the gem desserts were to die for. So soft, not too sweet and melts in the mouth. Not only was the quality of food high up there the food was beautifully presented on these pretty tiles, so different but that is what brings the personality of the cafe and adds to the atmosphere and experience. I will definitely come back here but this time for the afternoon tea (this needs to be booked a week in advance by the way) which I've seen pictures of in social media and I must say it looks so delicious! Thank you to the Little Tea House for the experience and can't wait for them to have many more customers in the future because they...
Read moreHave been going to this little gem for almost a year and, yesterday, decided to treat my niece and I to Lina’s veggie afternoon teas.
I’ve sampled lots of afternoon teas across London over the years and can honestly say that the one at the the Little Tea House was second to none!!
No soggy sandwiches, hard scones or over sweet pastries to be found here. Merely the most delicious, fresh and tasty fusion pastries, scones & savouries (including a divine mini spiced aubergine pie (and aubergine is one of my least favourite vegetables, normally!), spinach and garlic quiche, and mango and ginger mousse), washed down with a pot of delicious masala chai. We couldn’t manage the scones as we were so full so Lina packed them up into a little goodie box for us to have at home (and they were amazing when we tucked into them later that day!)
This is such a gorgeous place, with zero pretension, and wonderful homely service. Would highly recommend if you’re looking for something different...
