Alice's Tea Cup!!!! Alright so I really did not know what to expect when Peggy kept raving and salivating over its scones. Omg! I can now bestow upon her "foodie credibility." We had a table of five but really seated at a four person table upstairs. This is a place for parents to bring their kids because there are several costume wings that the kiddos can wear while eating away at their scones and feel like they are flying away into heaven or whatever world they think they're in. I am already missing the scones with its preserves. We were seated adjacent to a table of mothers and their playful yet screaming kids. We were getting irritated but when our entrees and scones were served, nothing else mattered. Scone me! To give some background on the following posts, Ann, Gwan, and Melanie visited from Texas..Dallas, Tx. I put their friendship to a test when we went to at least seven different spots to eat in one day. This post happened the be the last place they ate at.
- To describe the scones, Gwan said, "Not the scones! Take anything..the luggage but not the scones!"
- Peggy said, "Buttery? Scrumptious? Melt-in-your-mouth-goodness? Yes. yes. and yes!"
- Ann said, "scrumptious scones. A love affair between crisp and moist. A melt in your mouth sensation. Perfect Preservations."
- JT: "what a buttery surprise!"
- Wiki: "scone is a small British quickbread of Scottish origin"
I'm sorry there's been so much chatter about the scones. We ate other things also. I ordered the Light fare at $13 that includes half a salad or half sandwich and choice soup. I nibbled on the curried chicken salad sandwich.The curry was light and covered the chicken yet there was no curry dripping everywhere. However, there were itty-bitty pieces of chicken that would fall out, so unless you can eat half a sandwich in one ultimate bite, then I advise to cut it up. I had the chili and bean soup. It was good but there was too much chili and not enough actual soup and there was no spice to capture my attention like the scones. Scones = our love.
Brunch times. I haven't had this but Peggy said the Smoked salmon & scones is the breakfast item to die for. With that beind said, breakfast is served M-F 8 am - 11:30 am and brunch is served Sat and Sunday from 8 am - 3 pm.
