| - We arrived around 2-3pm I believe, and it was empty. Not surprised because it was in the middle of the afternoon on a weekday. We were the only ones there till like maybe 30 minutes until other customers came.
The decór was stunning and of quaint English Victorian style - I fell in luuuuvvvv! The mixture of calming blue tones and a few Christmas decorations made it seem cozy and festive.
We were greeted quickly and sat where ever we wanted. Our waitress asked if we've been here before and she explained about the menu, the teas offered, pastries and tea/food sets that they have. Annvita also has a "20% Daily tea special", so be sure to ask what tea of the day it is when you go!
It was quite overwhelming at first because the tea options were endless, along with choices of pastries and desserts... However, they have tea samples all over the store. You can smell the tea leaves, in hopes that it'll entice you to drink that specific tea choice. The samples came in really cute containers, glass bottles and cups. Annvita also had really nice tea sets on display! Sadly, none of them are for sale ): .
Tea came in various forms of Green tea, Black tea, Herbal tea, Fruit tea, Milk tea and their specialty options. Their food options consisted of scones, waffles (traditional or with ice cream), salads (fruit, Caesar, green salads) and English sandwiches (cucumber, ham & cheese, curry, etc). Desserts such as lava cakes, rum panna cotta, English tea cakes, and cookies ranging from shortbreads, madeline and soda crackers were also available!
Like I said, the options were endless.
We all had to order one tea each and we also ordered a "one person afternoon tea set", which came with assorted pastries. There was also a two people afternoon tea set, but we just came from eating lunch so one person it is!
Our waitress set up our table with our cups, Rose jelly of some sort, with custard at the bottom, and our tea was brought out later. The tea set up was very fancy and elegant. Teapots with the letter "A" embedded into it and the white cups were very classy.
You can also refill your teapot with hot water, but after awhile, it does get diluted/no taste. Especially since my tea already had such a light flavour, it felt like I wasn't tasting much after...
One Person Afternoon Tea Set came in about 15 minutes after our tea arrived. It looked like a lot of us to us (because we has just finished lunch)!!! But as always, the decor and plating was on point, with their constant white and gold theme. The top plating was desserts whereas the bottom plate was mostly snacks and with meat. We shared this between the three of us, heehee. I enjoyed the bacon bits, matcha cake, scone, madeleine, salted caramel macaron, and that tart thingy.
After spending about 2 hours here, we split our bill and it came up to about $25 per person.
