| Bea's Of Bloomsbury Vegetarian Afternoon Tea Review |
Bea's of bloomsbury first caught my attention with their ingenious hybrid. The "duffin". A duffin is a cross between a doughnut and a muffin. I ordered a nutella duffin on my way out of Bea's of Bloomsbury St Paul's branch.
I enjoyed a vegetarian afternoon tea on a wet and windy day. Afternoon tea is the perfect treat to brighten up a dull day.
Bea's of Bloomsbury have three afternoon tea options. Including vegetarian afternoon tea and gluten free afternoon tea.

We were seated upstairs at Bea's, St Pauls branch. The restaurant is in a lovely location. Close to St Pauls, which means you also have the option of visiting the cathedral, to truly make a day of it.
Bea's of Bloomsbury is also child friendly, with high chairs available. The floor to ceiling glass windows at Bea's of Bloomsbury - St Pauls let in natural light. Allowing you to watch the world go by.
There are twelve teas to choose from at Beas of Bloomsbury. All teas are by Canton. My first tea of choice was Canton chocolate noir. A black tea, with dark chocolate notes. Canton chocolate noir just tasted like a regular black tea to me, which was disappointing.
On the plus side. You get to refill your tea pot with as many different teas as you'd like during afternoon tea.
The second tea I tried was Canton karma tea. Canton karma tea is a herbal tea with spices. To me, it tasted just like chamomile tea.
My third and final tea was Canton jasmine pearls. It was very mild in taste, but with a lovely fragrant smell.

| Bea's Of Bloomsbury Vegetarian Sandwiches |
I was impressed by the selection of vegetarian sandwiches available. Each presented on brioche style bread. A roasted aubergine and hummus. Mozzarella, pesto and basil. Egg mayo with smoked paprika and a dukkah yogurt sandwich, with avocado and pesto. All were very flavoursome. However, I only enjoyed the egg mayonnaise with smoked paprika sandwich.
You can choose from a plain, or sultana scone. My scone was freshly baked, with a crusty outside and soft crumbly inside. It was served with clotted cream and strawberry jam, with the extra option of apricot jam.
The cake selection included a macron. Mini cupcake. Salted caramel and chocolate brownies, and a delicious cupcake with passion fruit frosting.

Afternoon tea for one is super filling. I left Bea's with a doggy bag of cakes to finish off at home.
