The high tea at HoneyPie is served in three rounds, savory, scones and pastries, just like it would be in England. Before the first round was served we were welcomed with a pot of tea and a pot of coffee and explained how everything worked. After a couple of minutes they brought out the cake stand with the first round and my goodness, I might have had enough with just that! We got a warm egg muffin and three mini-sandwiches with savory fillings which went nicely with the basic tea blend my mom had chosen for us. About 45 minutes later I felt ready for the second part. Warm, fluffy scones with cream and jam. I felt like I was right back in Canterbury with this one! The fruit skewers helped relief the heaviness of the first two rounds, but it’s needless to say we let quite some time pass by before we ordered our final round: the pastries! This last round was without doubt me and my sisters favorite. The chocolate-cookie crumble pie is my sisters number one, but I loved the brownies most. So tender and full of taste! There was also lemon cake and the mini-muffins on top were warm apple-speculoos cakes.Not only is the food great, the atmosphere is too. There’s lots of cute little details and a small shop with pretty fabrics, tea cups and whatnot. Between rounds I wandered around and took a couple of picture of the interior. I kind of didn’t dare to say that I was going to write a blog post, so I’m not sure what they thought of me as I was going around. Maybe they thought I was nuts for photographing their hanging plants and decorations?
We had our high tea during “brunch hour” so it wasn’t very busy yet, but around noon the place was jam-packed. There were girls on a shopping break, young moms with strollers, families, elderly women having a chat, … . Everyone loves to hang around here and I can definitely tell why. The food is delicious, the place is cozy and the personnel is very friendly. If you want to visit HoneyPie and have a high tea you must make reservations at least one day in advance. the high tea is €18,50 per person and they also offer the package for take-away if you’re hosting a tea party at home.

This look so fun! I’ve never done high tea, but would love to, somewhere!
Wow, that looks so fun! I’ve always wanted to try a high tea too. And this one seems comparatively reasonably priced against some I’ve seen on blogs. Sounds so good….
That looks lovely, and sounds great too! 🙂
I’ve had home-made high teas but never been out anywhere for it. It’s so deceptive isn’t it, you think ‘such tiny pieces, of course I can eat it all!’ but with the variety it’s much more filling than it looks 🙂
Glad you had a great time 🙂
this looks so cute!!

Everything look so delicious! I’ve had high tea twice on birthdays and it’s just so much fun! Quiche or little sandwiches with dessert at the end is just amazing.
