[Review] Cream Tea at The English Rose
By chance I discovered this cozy tea room when I was on the bus to Victoria Station.
As it is conveniently located by the station, I visited it one afternoon before I had to travel somewhere.
It was late in the afternoon and filled with people.
The decor was very homely but then it used to be a house, every corner of the place was beautiful.
The menu was down to earth and not overpriced which is a hard to find in Central London.
Overall, I had a great time there but the only thing that let it down was the scone which was a bit dry and hard.
Other than that, this place is highly recommended.

[Review] DOC Coffee - Eastbourne
This is another hip coffee joint that opened earlier this year in 2019.
It is run by a Doctor and an IT professional who decided to join forces and open a coffee shop.
The shop owners are really nice and friendly.
Went there with friends one weekend.
There was good range of coffee and there were fancy lattes like Turmeric, Beetroot, Chai and Matcha.
For vegans, they had some vegan cakes and toasts.
As I have already tried the fancy lattes elsewhere, I went for the cheese scone with tea.
The tea was loose leaf tea timed with a timer.
The scone was warm and delicious.
Overall a great place for coffee anytime.

[AMMO x B.Duck Round the World Afternoon Tea]
AMMO - A short form for Asia, Modern, Museum and Original, AMMO is an award-winning, contemporary tapas bar and restaurant located in the stunning heritage site of a former 19th century explosives compound.
As well as explosives, the name AMMO makes me think of ammunition and soldiers in camouflage.
If it wasn't for the [AMMO x B.Duck Round the World Afternoon Tea], I wouldn't have visited this lovely spot hidden at the back of Admiralty.
I knew I was going to like the tea set because it had donuts, scones and burgers.
The adorable B.Duck has floated to AMMO this summer!
From now to 31st Aug, travel around the world with B.Duck at AMMO with sweet & savoury treats that represent the different countries.
Sweet Treats:
Japan - Matcha Tiramisu

Korea - Mini Strawberry Ice Cream
England - Scones with Jam and Clotted Cream

United States - Mini USDA Beef Cheese Burgers
China - Spring Rolls with Sweet Chili Sauce

When you arrive, there are some cute B.Duck mugs on table for you to choose when having tea where you also get to choose from the tray of tea forte tea bags.
The tea set was just adorable especially the cute burgers and strawberry icecream so the whole thing was easily instaworthy.
As always, I always eat the savoury items first and evidently I liked the burgers as they were tasty.
In the Sweet selection, I liked the variety as it was all my favourite items such as scones and donuts.
The Sugar Cane donuts were yellow inside with golden jam so they were a little different from English donuts which are white inside.
All the items were not too sweet which was impressive,
It was just fun placing the burger and macaron side by side.
You get to take home the special edition angelic white AMMO x B.Duck floating duck! (first come first served basis while stocks last.)
