| - So lovely! Last Sunday, gorgeous Yelp babes Nicole H, Jamie F and I met here to check out Red Tea Box's high tea offerings. The cafe was emptier than I'd expected for a Sunday around 12:30, but perhaps the drizzly weather was to blame.
We were whisked to the back tea room, which was decorated Victorian-style with a definite Asian flair. I loved all the little details, from the peacock-printed cake plates, to the comfy velveteen lounge couches. Service was pretty good, and they did all they could to accomodate friend's vegan diet.
I ordered the Mad Hatter bento, which included an amazingly delicious curried chicken salad, chicken wellingtons (good, if slightly limp), and a selection of sweets: a spongy scone, truffly brownie, and a red velvet w/ caramel cake (very dry and slightly tough)
Loved the selection of teas, and the staff was patient and knowledgeable about the food selection. Price is a bit steep, but a decent value for all the food, high quality tea, and adorable atmosphere. Great place to bring friends for a catch-up over tea. I'd definitely come back.
