On the busy Theobald's Road, Bea's of Bloomsbury's afternoon teas and cup cakes provide something of an oasis for the weary traveller turning off the noisy main road. Bea Vo's Bloomsbury patisserie "feels rather like your hip great-aunt's favourite tearoom" (Australian Vogue). Recommended by Time Out for its affordable afternoon tea, you can indulge in their scones, clotted cream and jam from Monday to Saturday for £8 per person and tuck into one of their signature cupcakes. These include a Valrhona brownie, Belgian Blondie, and meringue, served with a pot of Jing tea. Their excellent fresh coffee comes from Square Mile Coffee - a London-based wholesaler in Poyser Street, Bethnal Green. "It has raised cake-making in London to new levels of excellence," writes Emma Duncan, deputy editor of The Economist, in The Evening Standard. We like the fact that you can see your cakes being lovingly made and carefully decorated in the open bakery area at the back of the cafe. It's easy to miss as you shoot down Theobald's Road so slow down and stop off - you'll be glad you did.
