Martha's Pantry High Tea!

Having planned this event for months after I missed Robyn's 21st birthday party we finally headed to Martha's Pantry on Cuba St for our sophisticated 1950s ladies high tea. We booked a table for 3pm just in case, as we know how busy Martha's Pantry can get, but luckily, or unluckily, the weather was awful and we were given a table with plenty of space around us.

 The store itself is adorable. Tucked off the side of Cuba, it's a little hard to find but just look for the cute pink signs and you'll see it. They not only do high tea but also have a selection of cakes and teas for the walk in customer to choose from. On your right hand side as you enter is also a bunch of cute tea goods all very vintage themed so I know where to go next time for gift shopping!

We were presented with a large range of teas to choose from from all over the world and ended up going for the day's special pot, Pomegranate Green Tea, and a South African Honeybush Tea. Most of the teas on the menu are caffeine free so very "mental" friendly ^^

South African Honeybush Tea

After being presented with our knitted tea-cosy covered pots we were presented with our cake tier with savouries at the bottom and sweets at the top. Being "good girls" we worked our way up from the bottom. It was worth the wait when we reached our final sweet, a chocolate peppermint truffle, the perfect end to our meal. The best savoury was, for me at least, the salmon pate which filled my mouth with smoothe and rich flavours and left me salivating when it was all done.

The cafe was perfect for catching up and managed to cover all bases from boys to mental health all while sipping on our sweet teas and munching on the goodies before us. We were totally overcome by the cuteness of the shop and every detail caught us out. Even the honey pot was adorable.

All this and the experience set us back $25 each (though my half was taken care of by the beautiful Robyn who kindly pushed me aside and paid the bill). I would more then gladly go back and experience Martha's high tea again as it is well worth the money for the atmosphere and the food. I would highly reccomend it to anyone in town or coming into town looking for a lady's (or gentleman's) morning or afternoon tea or just a cute place to eat some cake.


Enjoy!
