Anya Cafe

Charming Cafe with Delightful Afternoon Teas

Ah, the Anya Cafe. What a delightfully eccentric experience! The cafe feels like an Alice in Wonderland twist woven effortlessly into London chic. Right from the first sip of coffee with intricate cartoon-eyes latte art to snuggling into heated blankets with charming hot water bottles on their terrace, it’s warmth and whimsy rolled into one. For those participatory sorts, there’s an ice cream tasting adventure featuring flavors as lovable as Snoopy and as confounding as Heinz Baked Beans. Personally, it's worth indulging in—expensive yes, but made bearable on a fun frolic in the Anya design universe.

A proper afternoon tea here is indeed a ceremonial affair. Obsessed with all things pretty, Anya's creations were satisfyingly sumptuous – chubby heart cakes and curiously decorated biscuits were as delightful on the palate as they looked on Instagram. While negating some modern expectations like brunch timings and sophisticated layouts, this small wonder compensates with its playful concept and cordial staff ready to engage even the most discerning toddlers. Though their price points may provoke furrowed brows or a double-take, the affable environment attempts to redeem the indulgence. The Stoic in me urges restraint, but not before mentioning: a room for improvement on logistics would eventually have me dive right back again for a fresh dollop of hilarity and sweetness at Anya's in a heartbeat. — Milo Tastemaker
