First of all, when walking in you are warmly greeted. I was waiting for a friend and so the women showed me the different seating areas to choose from. I love the variety! My favorite is the couch... It could be my living room... Filled with tea :) I mentioned the type of tea I typically enjoy and I was taking through the varieties they had that I might like. There's a wall of tea to explore! We got very educated on how it's premium and the different types. It's not just tea though... They have bites! Either low or no sugar treats that are delicious. I got the jam cookie. So perfect! The tea is the main event though, right? And it was so good. Mine had a taste of honey while my friend's was stronger. Just mention what you like and they will find something right for you. They can also add more water to the pot so you can get sometimes 3-5 pots from the one set of leaves! Also, you are served which I find lovely. I can't wait to go back and take my husband. It was so nice to escape the cold, hang out with a friend in a cosy shop, and have amazing tea.

As a fan of both chewy/soft or alternatively crispy cookies, I appreciated the crunch on honingwafel that contrasted with its gooey center. Walking into around 2pm the bakery was steadily busy though didn't feel excessively crowded. A couple customers or groups would trickle in at a time, there were two people in line in front of me, perfect for me to take in the options and decide what to get. There are about 5-6 smaller cafe tables set up for about 2-3 people each, not a place for larger groups. The staff (woman at the counter), was friendly and helpful when I asked about the differences in the wafels, her recommendations, and what some of the other baked goods were. I was very curious about the gember køek and she said that was her favorite in the store. So I got: - honingwafel €3.60: as mentioned above crispy cookies with a honey syrup center. I'm kinda curious what this consisted of since it tasted less sweet than only honey itself. Level of sweetness is probably 6 or 7 out of 10. I ate it by itself and thought it would go well with some coffee or tea. As you're eating a little of the syrup may be squeezed out of the sandwich at the edges so take care. As they sold more, I saw fresh cookies being prepared on the side. - gember køek €3.20: as a ginger lover, I couldn't say no to this one; it's an almond cookie covered on top with chunks of candied ginger. A softer crumb, the ginger pieces were very sweet, cloyingly so that after eating about half (on a separate day than the wafel) I wish I had a cup of black coffee in the moment. - speculaasbrokken €5.50: crispy speculos cookies (think those bischoff ones they serve on Delta flights also widely available in US grocery stores now), but house-made and with almond slivers on top. I found them slightly less dense and with a texture similar to a crunchy graham cracker. I'm curious about their black current and poppyseed pastries, and would gladly drop by again to try these!

It's 24.95 Euros per person if you wanted to do the vegan or gluten free high tea option. There's a 2.5 hours limit for the high tea and it was plenty of time to eat and chat with friends. You'll get unlimited hot water refills. For the normal high tea, each platter will have five different loose leaf tea containers, two types of salads, breads, bread spreads (e.g. jam, herb, and hummus), two types of yogurt, red velvet cake, banana bread, brownies, and energy balls. I enjoyed a lot of the foods. I really like the fresh bread and their spreads, the salads, banana cake, and red velvet cake. I thought that the yogurt was a bit tart and the brownie was very sweet. Overall, I would comeback again one day. It's a great place to come do some work and enjoy baked goods or a healthy lunch.

I came from Los Angeles, where you can find some of the best cupcakes. My favorite specifically is Red Velvet cupcakes, or anything with cream cheese icing. Since I moved to Rotterdam, I have been in a quest to find a decent cupcakes place. I have tried the cupcakes from Dudok and Alice in Cakeland. And to be honest, they were not good at all compared to all the cupcakes I've had. I bake much better cupcakes myself. Nothing against butter cream, they should not be called Red Velvet or Carrot cupcakes unless they have real cream cheese icing. Butter cream is cheap and not worth the calories. Ten to Three Bakery is the first place I found that actually serve cream cheese icing on their cupcakes. The cupcakes taste good. The size is standard cupcake size (they also have mini cupcakes available). The presentation is good. The interior of the cafe is pleasant, spacious, and clean. The staffs are friendly in general. English menu is also available. Recommendations: - Red Velvet Cupcakes - Tea with 2 scones combo (it comes with jam and mascarpone cheese spread). The scones are quite different that the scones I'm used to. They're a bit more softer than a normal scone, but a bit more dense than regular bread.

But more surprises await inside. Niels, the owner, transformed the downstairs part of the house into a quaint, cozy tea shop, filled with unique teas, special tea sets and tea accessories. But the biggest surprise is that there is a small tearoom upstairs where Niels and his wife serve high tea and tea brunch. We opted for the tea brunch, so we climbed the spiral staircase in the back and found a small, tastefully decorated dining room with a table that seats up to 5, a bright window overlooking the street, and a fireplace with a faux flame. First tea is served with a selection of teas from their downstairs shop. Next comes homemade scones with clotted cream and lemon curd and fresh squeezed orange juice to drink. Next, Niels brings in lux sandwiches made of salmon, tuna, blue cheese walnuts and more. Finally for dessert there is homemade Dutch apple pie, butter cakes and brownies. Host Niels is very warm and friendly and he'll even tell you a few stories about the history of the house. What a wonderful time we had.
