A friend of mine took me here a couple of months ago. At first I wondered where on earth she had brought me.
As I stepped inside I felt as if I had wandered through a time warp. I'm not quite sure which decade I was in but it certainly wasn't 2010.
I stumbled over one of the owners in full overalls fixing his vintage motorbike by the front door. It honestly felt like I was in their front room.
The decor was adorable. None of the tables and chairs match. I love the big rectangular table you can sit at with strangers, such a lovely touch. All the little nick nacks around the cafe (which I hear are also for sale) create a wonderful atmosphere. And what an atmosphere. It's part Parisienne part War-time, part bloody mental.
Through the back of the shop there is a little counter with a few cakes on offer. Behind the counter there are shelves heaving with battered tea cannisters all labelled with different teas I could barely pronounce. It's like a treasure trove for tea-lovers.
I had scones, jam and cream with assam tea. The scones were bloody marvellous and the tea exceptional. And all served in mismatched china tea sets which added to the charm.
The service was fast and totally silent. No-one ever said a word to me. Infact the entire place was really peaceful. People reading the sunday paper, friends nattering in the corner and an old gramophone propped up in the corner.
And the bill..? Just over £12 for three cream teas. Unbelievable.
i love it when people live the dream and this little tea shop is the epitome of a labour of love. Mr Jonny, plays mother, serving you the most delicious homemade tea and scones. the perefect place to finish off a sunday afternoon.

This tea shop cum nik-nak store recently opened in Shoreditch. Homemade cakes, British lunches and proper tea are the order of the day. While you sip tea from bone-china tea sets you can browse the lamps, clothes, records, toys and other odds and ends, all for sale. It’s a charming place to take the weight off you feet.
I hear it also doubles as a cinema.

Hey, this place sounds wonderful and i really want to take my friend for her birthday!! do you know, are they only open at the weekend and also do you have to book a table or can you just turn up?
would be so grateful if you could help me out :)
thankyou x
I really shouldn't think so. It's usually pretty quiet and I'm not sure they even take bookings.
Have a wonderful time - and try the scones!
