As I am catching up on my blog posts I frequented the Mad Hatter in 2014 - with at least four tea parties in the second half of the year. It truly is the best place for tea in the Twin Cities. Here's a highlight.
June 28 tea with mom:
Such an amazing historic home with fun china.
Mom's ready for her tea. Earl gray please.
Tea is served! Cranberry pecan chicken salad, egg salad croissant, strawberry basil tartlette, lavender herb cucumber canape.
Cream scone & lemon lavender scone with sweetened whipped cream & lemon curd.
Mom and I.
Love this teapot!
Petits Pains Au Chocolat, pink pavlova with lemon Chantilly & fresh fruit and a petit four.
July 12 tea with Andrea and Brenda:
Ladies lunching
The homemade soups and quiche are divine!
You can't go to the Mad Hatter without tea and scones!
And a little dessert!
Tea with Emma 8-24-14:
Unfortunately I didn't take many pictures this visit, but the food was scrumptious as always and ever changing.
Tea with mom Nov. 2014:
It really is worth the walk made pretty by a light dusting of snow.
The table is set. This visit we had a pretty butter yellow pattern.
Mom and I.
Hearty homemade soup topped with pepitas.
A full house! I just love the decor.
Cranberry pecan chicken salad on pumpkin muffins, thyme & roasted grape & goat cheese tartlette, pimento cheese, and frenchy french.
Almond pear puff pastry, chocolate mousse cup & pumpkin cheesecake.
Cream scone & glazed pumpkin spice scone served with sweetened whip cream and orange curd.
Mom enjoying her tea!
