Hopetoun Tea Rooms

So good I've been there twice in one week! Very naughty of me but just too nice! My first experience of Hopetoun Tea Rooms was with Ling and she had scones with jam and cream and I had the pikelets with strawberries, ice cream and maple syrup. The scones must have been good as they inspired her to try and re create them at home. I have yet to hear how they turned out. My pikelets were like pancakes and they were very light and each mouthful was a delight. They looked pretty and tasted great; far superior to the Pancake House ones we had when we first arrived. I had Earl Grey tea and Ling went for a Bolivian Green Tea. I had no idea Bolivia produced green tea.

I know that Steve has a sweet tooth so today during our day out I suggested we pop into Hopetoun for some refreshment. There was a queue so we had to wait about ten minutes for a table but during that time we could gaze upon the delights in the cake cabinet. Hopetoun Tea Rooms is done out like a refined English tea room with green flocked wall paper and little round tables to sit at. They have a wide selection of loose leaf tea but with it being so warm I had an iced tea but Steve had their English Breakfast tea called the Bard's Tempest. Steve opted for a cake called a Cosmopolitan which had a base like carrot cake, a cheesecake type layer and then topped with raspberry. I went for the Lime Tart which came with vanilla ice cream. It was just gorgeous. Sharp and tangy with a sweet finish. Steve agreed I'd made the better choice!

There were people there having proper afternoon tea with dainty sandwiches, cakes and scones so I think next time we will have to do that. When not in England, re create it with afternoon tea!
