Alice in Wonderland high tea at Royal T Cafe
My mom likes Alice in Wonderland and loves tea so we headed to the Royal T maid cafe in Culver City – on Friday morning, all set to try their new Alice Wonderland themed tea.
Only…they didn’t seem to have any idea what I was talking about. I assured them that their website and the news said it started March 5th, so they went in the back and quickly cobbled together a tray. Oh well. At least I can say I was one of the first!
Royal T is the place that TOTALLY pimped out the Hello Kitty high tea, so I suppose I was expecting the same thing? Hm. Granted there were fanciful colors and a cute little meringue mushroom, but I expected a little more ‘Alice’ and maybe more whimsy. But like I said, perhaps they weren’t quite ready for service when I had arrived.
Regardless, everything was DELICIOUS. There were open faced tea sandwiches on cut out playing card toasts – egg salad, smoked salmon, salmon tartare and lavender chicken salad.
But the sweets tray is always what I go for first. There was a colorful macaron, a blue meringue mushroom, green tea flan, raspberry cheesecake and a brownie.
To top off the tray there was a cheeseburger Kobe beef slider, I’m not sure how it fit into the whole equation but it was really tasty nonetheless.
As usual they had amazing artwork and the store was filled with really unique items. I’m sure will be a big hit and I’m glad we went on a Friday because we avoided any and all crowds that are sure to storm the place on the weekends. I can’t wait to see what Royal T does next!
Hello! Thank you for stopping by Royal/T! No doubt you were the first guest to order the Alice High Tea! Be sure to stop in for a ‘Eat Me’ cupcake on the house for the confusion on Friday. [Ask for Sophia]
Cheers!
That is so funny, a) that they had no idea what you were there for and b) the random cheeseburger slider.
Interesting.
I’ve been dying to go here but I don’t live in Cali. You guys get all the good stuff. ^^
