One of my ex-colleagues and I had been discussing to enjoy afternoon tea for awhile at another ex-colleague's cafe, Little Tea House, in Barnet (Totteridge and Whetstone) in north London. We finally got around to making a booking in early September, and the service was perfect and catered to our dietary needs. The cafe is a blend of British, Middle Eastern, and Asian influences and serves afternoon teas, cakes and other sweet treats, and some savoury options.
The decor of the interior of the cafe is trendy, and I loved the tile plates and placemats.
I had the masala chai tea.
The afternoon tea came with a selection of pastries, savouries, and scones.
The sandwiches were a selection of chicken tikka, garlic quiche, mini aloo tikka burgers, and sour cream and cucumber. They cater to vegetarians and vegans and were able to adapt to my taste (a mixture of vegetarian with chicken-only options).
The sweets included chocolate cake, Mille Feuille, mango mousse, and Halwa on a shortbread spoon.
The scones were served with cardamon and orange jam, and this tasted delicious.
I also managed to take home a couple of the "fancy" treats. The one on the left was a "Gem" in the lemon and guava flavour (emerald). The one on the right was the "Rose Taj", which was rose, lychee, basil seed, and pistachio. They look too good to eat.
I recommend Little Tea House, and you won't be disappointed in the quality of the items and service.
