Tea Room Review
I wish I lived closer to the British Emporium. It is unbelievably old school cozy and attractive in the most British of ways. If you like British food you will love this place. Everything on the menu is yummy though it's hard to decide whether to get afternoon tea fare or go for something heartier such as the shepherd's pie. The shop is stocked choc-a-block with all things UK and everyone who works there is an ex-pat. A rainy day, a book and the British Emporium tea room, sounds like heaven to me
