As soon as I stepped into this wonderland, I didn't feel like I was in London anymore. It is glorious. I had so much fun with my camera in here. The treats and cupcakes are spectacular and the display at the front of the store is a visual delight. Every kind of cup cake, mini meringues, home made marshmallows and even a magical cake decorated with the tea party from Alice in Wonderland. It's all very impressive. As Valentines day creeps closer, Bea's has made sure to remind you of all things love, that come covered in sugar and chocolate. The presentation of this place sells it all to me and I really appreciate the effort that has been put in. The menu is written on the wall on huge mirrors that open the room up even more.
The genuine cafe buzz in here excites me and after asking the barista if I may take some photos, I take as many as I can without seeming weird and then proceed to order myself a flat white. I can't ignore the savoury cupcakes either. Red pepper, feta and mushroom with a herb cream cheese. Soooo Yum!! I take a seat and watch the serious chefs in the back of the store busy with the anticipation of afternoon tea soon to commence. Again, Square Mile Roasters coffee is used here and even though the milk is not as smooth as it could be the espresso is strong and rich enough to pull right through it. The temperature is perfect and it is still a stride above a lot of the coffee I have avoided in London. If I had to choose between great espresso and average milk as apposed to the other option, I would take this anyday. Which does tell me that I miss Melbourne even more, I would never settle for that back home. I decide to stay at Bea's of Bloomsbury for some time, and settle in on my comfy cushions and relax. A truly beautiful cafe and I will most definitely return.
