Afternoon Tea Or High Tea @ English Tea Room
The English Tea Room delivers on the promise of its name exactly. Owner Jan Lantrip is obsessively knowledgeable about tea--she even creates her own blends--and everything that goes with it. Afternoon tea is available all the time, and is highlighted by excellent scones--not too dry, not too sweet, beautiful to look at, with lemon curd, jam, and sweet butter.
Many little sandwiches and cookies are in the offing. High tea--a different, more substantial meal traditionally taken in early evening--is also here all the time and wonderful, particularly for the shepherd's pie and the Buckingham bake (a cross between an egg scramble and an omelette).
