    Afternoon tea, with scones and cream added
    Beth T.

    I have been searching and searching for a place to have afternoon tea - so I was so happy to stumble across What the Dickens when we were in Hastings for a baseball tournament The afternoon tea came with an assortment of savory and sweet treats. Including cucumber tea sandwiches, egg and bacon tea sandwiches, a slice of sausage roll, Bakewell tarts and more. I opted to add two scones with clotted cream and jam as well (which was a great choice, because the scones are amazing). Truly everything on the tea tray was delicious, but the warm scones may have been my favorite part. They have a wide selection of teas to choose from as well, but I went with an old favorite (English breakfast tea). My husband loves scotch eggs and was delighted to see them listed on the menu - and he really enjoyed his We also grabbed some Eccles cakes and Bakewell tarts to go (the Bakewell tarts were my 5 year old's favorite) Our food and tea came out quickly and the server seemed very familiar with the menu and was able to answer all our questions We would absolutely stop in again the next time we are in Hastings!

    Not only is the tea room elegantly tidy and all the pastries (sweet and savory) a feast for the eyes, the staff is careful in handling food.

    I visited Hastings, NE for a 4-day trip and stopped by here TWICE during my stay. They hooked me…read morewith their Celestial Pesto sandwich, cozy atmosphere, and friendly accommodating staff. The first time I visited the barista made me a personalized coffee drink based off my preferences and she knocked it out of the park! I also ordered the Celestial Pesto sandwich based off her recommendation and it was simple but so delicious!! It was so good, in fact, that I returned a couple days later to order that sandwich again before I left! This time I ordered a lavender lemonade to drink and it was yummy! I love the couches spread out throughout the place and the board games they have waiting on a shelf for anyone to pull them out. Highly recommend if you're in the area!

    Cute place to grab a cup of coffee or meet up for a late lunch. I was in town and got to pop in…read moreabout 15 minutes before they closed for the day. I ordered a really yummy pesto grilled sandwich to go with potato salad and a 32 ounce iced tea with some vanilla syrup. There was lots of space in the venue and the bathrooms were clean. They don't make their potato salad in house, but she said it's local and everyone loves it. I hope to come back again the next time I'm in Hastings I'll be able to sit and enjoy the ambience a little bit. My favorite part was the blue ceiling! I will say there weren't a lot of lights in the back so it's really dark toward the back half if you're looking for that kind of ambience but if you want more natural light and additional lighting, then you can sit in the front half.
