What I Ordered
Ginger Chai
The ginger chai is an off the menu chai latte option. It is served in a very attractive teacup. It is a white chai tea with ginger, milk, and thick foam layer on top. It has a delicious spicy flavor and is very rich and creamy. I would recommend this chai.
Chocolate Loaf Cake
The chocolate loaf cake is a lightly warmed slice of a chocolate, chocolate chip sponge cake. It is very rich and chocolatey. It is simple but tasty.
Breakfast Sandwich
The breakfast sandwich is ham, egg, and cheddar cheese served on a croissant. This was a very tasty breakfast sandwich. It was freshly made and all of the ingredients were moist and flavorful. It was a very large serving. My only complaint is that the croissant was very delicate and could not really serve as a vessel for the sandwich. It fell apart so I had to eat it with a fork and knife. Really Delicious though!
