Taking time for tea

The tea party girls finally made it to the new Mad Hatter in Anoka as a group!

We love the Mad Hatter. It's decorated so eclecticly and elegantly right down to the table setting.

Yellow roses to brighten up a January day.

And a steamy cup of Earl Gray cream. We also enjoyed the Mad Hatter House blend with bergamot, orange and chocolate as well as Creme Brule.

The ladies

Our first course was soups and between the six of us we tried all three! Corn chowder with leeks.

Squash with crispy kale.

And the Minnesota classic chicken wild rice all served with savory scones.

And here comes three tiers of deliciousness!
