Kind of ashamed I didn't review this place last year when we visited. So last year we were on our…read morehoneymoon and my wife's birthday was during our trip. All she wanted for her birthday was a nice afternoon tea. We left London and were basically driving sort of toward the coast just stopping wherever we found a tea shop. Unfortunately, every tea shop we hit was closed because of some bank holiday we were unaware of. Except one! We got to Glynde, parked outside this tea shop, went in, and found a large sign that said "cash only". OMG this wasn't our day. We had to go to the next town over to use the ATM which sucked, but we weren't in any hurry and we really liked the look and feel here. We came back, got seated, opened the menu, and right at the top it said afternoon tea available with reservation only. We were devastated. I saw the look in my wife's eye and there was no way I was not getting her this afternoon tea! I approached the woman working and explained our situation and before I could even fight for the experience she told me not to worry, she would get us taken care of. BLESS HER! We had a wonderful visit and would recommend the experience to everyone in the area. Fast forward to this year. I knew how much my wife loved that visit and decided to reach out and ask if they had any ideas of what I could get her for her birthday this year. Joanne reached back out with an amazing gift and shipped it to us and it amazingly arrived on her birthday! She also included a nice birthday card for her! Amazing people that went out of their way twice to make us happy. They will forever be apart of our story and hopefully we have the chance to return soon! Thank you!!!

Opposite Boots (the chemist) and next to Maison Blanc there is an alleyway. At the end of this…read morealleyway you will find The Barn, a hip vegetarian cafe with an active music scene in the evenings. The vibe is reminiscent of bohemian art student, the food is healthy and delicious (wraps, bagels, muffins, etc) and the coffee is great. Downstairs (ground floor) is set out cafe style with a small collection of two and four person tables in front of the kitchen and coffee bar. Upstairs seating is arranged as soft benches around long coffee tables which would seem to be a good use of space when there is a band present. I was there during the day and it was quite quiet so online radio provided the background music rather than a live band. However I understand that upcoming gigs (music and art) are listed on their website. I enjoyed my visit and shall return next time I am in there area. It was refreshing to visit a good cafe that stands apart for the normal high street effort.

We had planned to have an afternoon tea at this lovely little café while visiting Newbury. We…read moredecided to go for a quick lunch, a couple days before the planned afternoon tea. Well, it was a good thing we did, since we didn't get to go back for afternoon tea... Just as the name suggests, it is located right by the canal. It was very picturesque, peaceful and relaxing. They also have seating upstairs, and had histories on the canal, with photos posted all around the wall. Their cakes looked amazing, but I decided not to order any dessert on this day. Yes I know, a big mistake! Our friend ordered Heavenly Hot Chocolate, and it looked so pretty! We went with Teashop House Blend Tea, and Earl Grey. The young boy who brought the teas (I hear this is a family-run business) was trying to very careful not to mix them up. But the funny thing was, he totally mixed the tea up! LOL. We didn't realize until half way through... I thought the House Blend tea tasted so much like Earl Grey. For lunch, we had Ham, Cheese & Chutney Sandwich and Eggs Benedict. They were both tasty, nice portion, and filling. Our friend went with something healthier, and ordered one of their vegan sandwiches. It is nice to have that option if you want or need vegan dish. We had a nice quick lunch here. It was adorable and cozy. The food was good, not amazing, but good. I think the sweets might be better than the actual food...I will never know, unless I go back! Lesson learned: don't never expect your plan to go just the way you planned them...and have your dessert first!

I admit I'm not accustomed to eating beans for breakfast so I went with the big breakfast with grilled tomatoes and sautéed mushrooms. I appreciated that there wasn't a whole lot of salt on everything since the bacon had enough salt for the whole meal. The sausage was unlike any other I had. The casing was pretty tough and the meat was pretty mild in flavor. Wished there was hot sauce but did not see any. The meal was perfect for a quiet Sunday morning before settling into my Airbnb for a long nap. Comfort food, UK style. ;) Oh and FYI, cash only.

After several Google services, I came across Dotty's website, it is well put together and really grabbed my attention Seeing Dotty's in real life was like a dream. The establishment is beautifully decorated and you can tell the owner really invested in the place and the people who work there. There is a pink bicycle parked outside, the establishment is pink, the decor is very elegant--perfect for a photo op I opt to do the afternoon tea with Prosecco added on as well as some scones to go. It was a very fair price per person. Under £80 for the entire experience for 2 people. They also sell other assorted desserts, shakes and cakes All the employees were attentive, they explained in detail what our package came with and they made sure we were happy from start to finish. EVERYTHING was delicious! From the English tea down to the Pimms jello HIGHLY RECOMMEND 10/10!!

I stumbled on the listing while doing a search for tea places before I left Washington, DC to travel to London. Unfortunately I didn't make the reservation myself (relied on family in London to make it) so we didn't get booked for the afternoon tea service as I'd hoped and just had a reserved table instead. Still, I indulged in some scones with cream and strawberry jam, paired with a strong cup of decaf English breakfast tea. The staff is very friendly and took the time to explain the drink and pastry options to us. I hope I get a chance to visit again for the full tea service before the end of my trip!

"Caffe Macchiato - Probably the best cafe in Aldershot"…read more *holds sides laughing* They are probably not wrong with this statement, but unfortunately this says more about Aldershot than it does about the cafe itself. What a depressing town, I felt like the life was being sucked out of me while I walked around it. We came for the football and were looking to eat before the game. We explored the town centre looking for a restaurant or pub that was serving food - nothing. Yes, there was McDonalds, KFC, Pizza Hut...not really what we were after. Do the people of Aldershot really not go out for dinner - obviously not! I had previously done a Yelp search for restaurants in Aldershot, and with the exception of one curry house, nothing came up - this should have given me a clue of what to expect!! Anyway, enough about Aldershot, we finally stumbled upon Caffe Macchiato and it looked like the best of a bad bunch. The cafe itself is quite spacious and well decorated and has art for sale on the walls. It was more or less empty when we arrived at about 17.30 and the waitress looked surprised when I asked for a table for three. The place closes at 19.00 every night, 17.00 on a Sunday. This is surprising seeing as they have a full menu. Some nights they have live music events on. There is also supposed to be free WiFi which I picked up but it didn't work properly. I decided to play it safe an opt for a pizza on the Italian themed menu. The Rucola sounded good - mozzarella, tomato, parma ham and rocket - four of my favourite ingredients. Unfortunately, when the dish arrived it looked like a bought-in cheese and tomato with the ham and rocket shoved on top before serving. The base was thick and stogy and not at all pleasant. In fairness, the others had a beef dish and a pasta dish and said they were OK. However, the side salad was smothered in salad cream! I find it hard to believe that this cafe is actually owned by bona fide Italians as I'm sure they wouldn't send out food like this. Oh, and the beer was warm, which the waitress knew in advance but didn't think to tell us before serving. If you are in Aldershot, this probably is your best option, but the sensible choice is to avoid Aldershot altogether!!
