Queen Mary Tea Room

I had been wanting to try the Queen Mary Tea Room for some time and I am so glad I finally got the chance! This place has been around for over 20 years and is a must-see in Seattle (if you are into tea, of coarse!) Since the new Alice in Wonderland had come out that weekend, the entire menu was based on characters and lines from the story. This was a treat before we got the 3-tiered afternoon tea...Royal Sorbet Gems and The "Eat Me" shortbread. I ordered Grape Pomegranate Green tea, which was delicious. We also got to sample a couple other teas, which were equally as good.

Here is the tiered platter of goodness. My favorite part was the sticker of the Mad Hatter:) There was this crazy-delicious chocolate cake hiding amongst the fruit, which was easily in the top 5 cakes I've had!

The rest of the platter included:

Alice’s strawberry tea bread

“Off with their heads!” cranberry orange scone

Cheshire cat crumpet
“Never too late” chocolate cake

Caterpillar mushroom meringue

Hedgehog macaroon

The Queen’s red rose lemon cupcake

Cinnamon sugar scepter

Down the rabbit hole fresh fruit
Pink flamingo smoked salmon crostini

White rabbit carrot tea sandwich

Bread and butterflies chicken tea sandwich

Tweedledee’s raspberry pinwheel tea sandwich

Tweedledum’s vegetarian quiche

Mrs. Pig’s sausage roll

Everything was great and the 3 of us that went were not able to finish it. I would probably go back for a special occasion, but not regularly...it was a bit spendy;)
