Tea at Tiffany's amidst Castles, Seabirds and Beaches
You might think, from the name, that Tea at Tiffany’s is nestled in the chic neighbourhood of Soho New York City. It may conjure images of Audrey Hepburn and Manhattan, but this new tearoom is on the main street in North Berwick, Scotland. It is full of Scottish character, starting with the extensive selection of teas. The café is nicely laid out in a Victorian townhouse with ample space between the round tables. It was almost full when we visited, which says something for its popularity; it was mid-afternoon on a Thursday.
This café is full of little quirks that add charm - a typewriter in the window, deep red walls and vintage china – which any devoted tea-drinker will tell you makes all the difference. I was even given a pink and green cup and saucer to match my jumper! The cakes are homemade – I tried a rich chocolate fudge cake and my friend had pancakes, both were accompanied with homemade vanilla ice cream. They were equal parts sin and pleasure!
Some sights in North Berwick are the nearby Tantallon Castle, the gorgeous expansive beaches and Bass Rock. Jutting from the sea, Bass Rock was once a prison and is now a wildlife reserve and home to thousands of seabirds, especially gannets.

This tearoom is so new it doesn't have an Internet presence yet. However, you can't miss it on the main street in Berwick by its large windows and distinctive decor.

Alice's Tea Cup
Once upon a time in a whimsical borough called Manhattan there was a charming little place where friends could go enjoy the delightful tradition of afternoon tea…
Sounds curiously like a fairytale? Alice’s Tea Cup will have you thinking again. At Alice’s, which has three “chapters” all over Manhattan, you can enjoy afternoon tea with friends, not only in the afternoon, but anytime you darn well please.
Gossiping and gabbing with friends over tea has never been more of a guilty pleasure.
Once you make it through the gigantic list of over one hundred teas from around the world, you will find that Alice’s also has an enormous selection of scones, sandwiches and other irresistible goodies that will soon top your list of faves in the city.
Coming with a group of friends or family? It has never been easier to share, as Alice’s features multiple selections on the menu for pairs to split. The Madhatter, which is a perfectly tiered platter for two people, comes stacked high to your table with the freshest selection of scones, sandwiches, cookies and cakes.

Sugar and Milk, Black Contour
Sugar bowl and milk pitcher – two abstract birds that have landed on the table. Designer Pernille Vea has clearly gathered inspiration from nature for the new generation of the design company Menu's popular porcelain series, Black Contour. The milk pitcher holds a half-litre, and the sugar bowl conceals an accompanying sugar spoon that is held in place by the lid.
