Table Talk: Teacup Kitchen

Table Talk: Teacup Kitchen

Location: 55 Thomas Street, Manchester

They say: "Award winning restaurant & tearoom in Manchester's creative Northern Quarter. Listed in the Good Food Guide 2013 & 2014. Pretty serious about tea & cake."

Perfect for: All day tea & cake! Lazy breakfasts & brunch.

Atmosphere: I was there late Sunday morning for breakfast and there were only a few tables left available. Busy but chilled atmosphere perfect for lazy Sunday mornings.

What we ordered:

- Exoticado - Poached duck egg, pan-fried exotic mushrooms & avocado on toast.

- Belting Benedict - Roast ham, poached eggs, capers, hollandaise sauce & wholegrain mustard on toasted sourdough.

- Lemon & Ginger Infusion - Grated fresh ginger, freshly squeezed lemon & honey.

- Caramel Macchiato

- Carrot & Coconut Cake - Layers of rich carrot and walnut sponge, smothered in cream cheese frosting & topped with toasted coconut flakes.

- Passion Fruit Meringue Tart - Crisp sweet pastry case brimming with mouth-watering passion fruit curd, and topped with peaks of gooey meringue.

What I liked: 

- Classic short but sweet egg menu & the duck eggs.

- The quality of the food.

- The extensive tea menu, worth a visit for alone.

- Great cakes, you can't visit without tasting one of their creations, or boxing them up and taking them home like I did.

Overall: An original place to go for tea & cake with friends and family! Great atmosphere and even better food!
