This peaceful spot is easy to miss, but if you are looking for a place to escape the madness of Westfield Marion for a quiet cuppa, this might be what you are looking for. The space is quite inviting and plenty of room for the pram. There is also a high hair available.
I have made several visits here and have always received genuinely friendly service. There is quite a lengthy menu of teas to choose from. This time I chose a pot of the Organic Genmaicha, and after letting it brew for an extra minute like my server suggested, it was perfect.
Then I had the spinach/leek/feta quiche filo, which was served warm but without any accompaniments. This was agreeable enough, but one does wonder, why does it come with a metal fork and wooden knife? My curiosity got the better of me and I asked the server - the wooden cutlery is used because it is eco friendly, however they found that the wooden forks weren't really working, so metal forks are used instead. So now you know.
There was a great selection of desserts, and I couldn't resist the white chocolate gluten free friand. It was just what I was wanting, sweet and dense, however next time I will take then up in their offer to warm it up first (it was a bit cold having been in their refrigerated display case).
All in all this is a spot I would choose again for a quiet cup of tea, but will probably lunch elsewhere next time. read more
