Afternoon Tea at Urban Tea Merchant Downtown Vancouver

screen-shot-2016-09-28-at-10-44-04-pm

NOTE: Urban Tea Merchant closed their doors for their tea service starting on September 1st, 2016. They now run pop up shops in Nordstroms and Holt Renfrew.

I came home just in time from Chicago last week to spend an afternoon with an East Coast IG pal (@pharmatypik) who happened to be in town. This was our first meeting so it was nice to put a face to the person whom I conversed a lot with online about food and travel. We had a nice in person chat at the Urban Tea Merchant in downtown Vancouver over afternoon tea. Being that we were looking for something different, we quickly settled on the West Coast Afternoon Tea Set which included the most seafood I’ve ever had during a tea service. It was beautiful and quite impressively laid out on a flat tray. Although I would have preferred a 3 tier tray (for photos), in retrospect, I found this display to be quite unique and I appreciate it that much more now that the Urban Tea Merchant has closed its doors for business. Because of that, I will not be doing a review for this particular experience. Enjoy the photos and if you need more afternoon tea ideas, check out my other afternoon tea reviews here.

XOXO,

Mimi

Wake Up to a Big Cup of Coffee… Macarons! What is better than starting your morning with a big cup of coffee macarons? Rich, dark and sweet, it’s the perfect way to brighten up anyone’s day. These coffee macarons are packed with flavour since there is coffee and chocolate not only in the filling but […]

I love making cute animal shaped macarons for gift giving. It always pleases me to see a big bright smile on someone’s face when they receive them. Maybe it’s a psychological thing, when someone sees a smile, they tend to smile back.  And that’s exactly the reaction you will get when you present a cute smiley […]

Do you really need to rest your macaron shells? Here’s what to do to prepare a proper macaron batter and prevent macarons from cracking during baking.

  Over the holidays, we acquired this very whimsical and somewhat ironic canvas for our home. We moved in last Spring and our walls have been mostly bare as we took our sweet ol’ time to find the perfect piece to add to our home decor mix (translation: I was too lazy and not particularly motivated).
