Tea Cosy

Long ago had I noticed the evolution of this store. Eclectic Attic used to be a furniture shop; selling antique furniture and house decorations, as well as serving some hot drinks and some light bites for the visitors. It has given a name for the cafe recently: Tea Cosy, as apparently, more people came for the tea than the furniture. They sell less furniture now; the items consisted of mainly statues and porcelains. I passed the shop the other day and saw the high tea promotion they advertised on the entrance. I decided to give it a shot.

The set consisted of two-tire assorted mini cakes and two drinks. They have a tiny menu and very short drink list. Besides coffee and tea, there’s very few left for you to choose.

Sacher torte, a chocolate cake originated from Austria; consisted of two layers sponge cake and thin layer of apricot jam and dark chocolate icing. The yellow one is the mango cake; mango cream sandwiched between sponge cakes with mango icing.

On the back is tiramisu with a strong taste of coffee and hardly contains any alcohol. The other two are carrot cake with cream cheese icing and a chocolate brownie with nuts.

Overall, it tastes ok, but doesn’t worth the price. Also, the service is very slow as there are only a couple of waitress serving the customers, both on foods and the antique stuffs.
