Stepping into The Hawthorn is like waltzing into a Brontë novel, where gothic elegance meets a…read morewhisper of enchantment-and, mercifully, free parking. As an amateur tea sommelier, having savored brews in grand hotels from Paris to Singapore, I declare their "Midsomer Night" Tea; {sweet pear & honeysuckle black tea} a divine elixir, whisking me to ethereal realms. My lovely companion's milky oolong was no less a revelation; we traded cups with the conspiratorial glee of ladies at a Regency salon, each sip a sonnet. The menu, though concise, is a curated treasure trove. The morning's fresh-baked croissant-flaky as a poet's resolve, adorned with creamy brie, ripe peaches, and a daring dash of red chili flakes-rivaled Parisian patisseries and left me pondering whether I'd dined or fallen into a culinary romance. The service? As gracious as a duchess at afternoon tea. The curiosity shop, brimming with ancient tomes, olde books and beguiling candles, tempts one to linger like a heroine in a gothic tale. Open from ten in the morning to nine at night, it's a haven for dreamers. My photographs capture but a shadow of its charm, yet I wager even Lord Byron would raise a teacup to this place. Dare to visit, lest you deprive your soul of such sublime pleasures. Hours: Tuesday~ Thursday 8-6 Friday 8am ~ 9pm Saturday 10-9 Sunday 10-4 Closed Monday

It was our first time visiting and our server gave me a run down of the tea and light food options. They were closing early for a private party but she didn't rush us at all. We all chose the Mais de Cirque for our tea. I ordered a simple Butter croissant. It was light and fluffy. I also ordered the macarons but they didn't have the flavor I requested so we opted for the flavors available. I believe they were raspberry but we didn't enjoy those. I loved the space so much. It's warm and cozy. I can't wait to go back.
