Melba At The Savoy

My husband and I saw the afternoon tea at Savoy on Google and when we arrived we found we were wearing casual clothes so we didn't feel comfortable going in. However we found the Melba at The Savoy little store that makes us very happy we can try some of their deserts. We had the raspberry and cream bulee, both are perfect sweetness, refreshing, and it was delicious. We took one star down because the first staff when we first came in were not very friendly and treated us like invisible. However the second staff at least trying to ask what we are looking for.

Fantastic and different lunch and pastry options. Stunning bagels and sandwiches. And the choux pastries... great flavours! The only downside is that if you eat in everything is served on paper plates and in paper cups. Not very sustainably responsible. I would expect better from an establishment like the Savoy.

The coffee is of an arabica variety with a medium to high intensity and a rich caramelised mouthfeel; not quite robusta and definitely not the more fruity, acidic variety. If that's your style of coffee then this is a very good drop for this style. They serve a beautiful and delicious selection of cakes, tarts and pastries. The tarts are very short with excellent fillings. The pastries are simple and made well and include the usual such as croissants. As you would expect, they provide an indulgent experience fitting of The Savoy.
