They have a reasonable selection and variety of teas — as of April 2009 their drinks menu included eleven black teas, four green teas, one oolong tea, one pu-erh, two white teas, eight herbal teas, and three infusions. They also do organic coffee and fruit juices. |
[[secretlondon]] popped in after seeing a sign offering afternoon tea for £2.50. This was any hot drink and cake or savory. When I went there at 5pm the only savories were sausage rolls. They had a menu listing 11 black teas, 4 green teas, 1 oolong tea, 1 pu-erh, 2 white teas, 8 herbal teas and three infusions. They also do organic coffee and fruit juices. |

Cakes are displayed on the counter, and sandwiches/rolls in the fridge. They seem to do some form of proper food too — on our August 2010 visit we were informed that "food stopped at 2:30pm", and a sign on the wall advertised "supper from 5:45pmish" on weekdays. |
I had a slice of coffee and walnut cake which was nice, and a pot of wild blackberries black tea. It was enough for two cups. They do larger pots for two people. |

Order and pay at the counter, and they'll bring your tea over to you. Tea is served with the leaves still in the pot (inside a little insert). Not sure if you can ask for a second brewing. Although they don't recommend milk in most of their teas, they will provide it if you want. |
There was soft music in the background - Simon and Garfunkel on my visit. It has free wifi. |

[[secretlondon]] visited in April 2009 to try their "hot drink and a cake or savory for £2.50" offer. When I arrived at 5pm the only savories were sausage rolls. I had a slice of coffee and walnut cake, which was nice, and a pot of wild blackberries black tea, which was enough for two cups. Soft music (Simon and Garfunkel) was playing in the background. [[Kake]] and James visited in August 2010, and also took advantage of the tea-and-cake deal (which at that point was £2.75 and only available after 2:30pm). Arriving a little before 4pm, we weren't the only customers, though there were plenty of free tables. Music was playing, but mostly drowned out by the hum of the fridge. A generously-sized pot of white peony tea was priced (similarly to most of the teas on the menu) at £1.95 — according to the menu they also do two-person pots of all their teas, for £1.10 extra. For our tea-and-cake deal we had the pu-erh and a slice of carrot cake (the latter being rather darker than is usual for carrot cake, but still pleasant). They offer free wifi. Accessibility: Short ramp to get in (the fairly steep smoothed-over step style). Only half of the door was open on our August 2010 visit, making the entry fairly narrow. The toilet is down a flight of stairs with a handrail on one side and a tight turn at the bottom. |
