Sundays are a lovely day to spend with
family and today was no different. Me and Joe met up with his cousin
and his little girl and popped along to Jamesons Tea Rooms on
Abbeydale Road for a cuppa and a catch up.
I'm kind of terrible when it comes to
exploring the city, I tend to stick to the centre and Eccy Road, just
because it's easy I think. As it turns out though Jamesons is a bit
of a hidden gem!
The interior is totally what I would
expect from a tea room, bright and floral with a vintage theme.
There was a counter topped with the
most tremendous looking cakes (too busy to get a photo, I tried I
really did!). Classic wooden tables and chairs topped with patterned
table cloths finished the room off and gave it a lovely homely feel.
I'm not a huge tea drinker to be
honest, I tend to opt for coffee over anything, however today I was
feeling a bit more like treating myself so went for a yummy hot
chocolate. Joe opted for the Jamesons Exclusive Blend tea, and was
greeted by a huge teapot, pot of hot water and a massive jug of milk.
In the end I think he got about 7 cups out of it!
I've never really been one to 'get' the
whole afternoon tea thing, but it was a nice treat to visit somewhere
a bit different to our usual coffee shop or bar and the hot chocolate
was lovely and creamy. Joe's tea was good too and the staff were very
polite. We left quite happy!
After finishing our drinks we headed
over to Joe's Nanans where we had a good old chatter and some yummy
fish and chips. Such a nice way to spend a Sunday afternoon.
Its been a lovely, relaxed, family-
orientated day.
