Afternoon Tea at Caffe Concerto

I came to London expecting to find afternoon tea places on every other block. I've walked into many shops but not many of them had the afternoon tea atmosphere I was looking for. Caffe Concerto lured me in with its display of the most decorative cakes I've ever seen (and I watch a lot of Food Network) and it's my favorite tea place in London!

Some may complain that the cafe only has a limited selection of teas, but the ones it does have are delicious. The Bombay Chai and Marrakesh Mint are two of my favorites. There are also options with jasmine, citrus, and of course, English Breakfast tea. For those who don't like tea, the cafe also has a selection of coffees, soft drinks and wine, but I would definitely recommend trying their tea. Mastering the art of pouring tea without spilling is an experience on its own!

The cakes are just to die for. Some of them are so pretty, I almost feel bad eating them but the deliciousness helps me get over it quick. I love anything with chocolate and coffee so the Giotto is my personal favorite, but there are so many other options with vanilla and fruits such as strawberry. We bought two of my friends their birthday cakes from there and both were delicious!

I'd definitely recommending going there for an afternoon snack or even dessert after dinner. Check out the menu here: Caffe Concerto
