By now you know me well enough to know I will search
out tearooms when traveling.
So no surprise I found one in Spokane, Washington last week.
Brambleberry Cottage and Tea Shoppe
206 E Pacific Avenue, Spokane, WA.
Phone: 509-926-3293
On chatting with the owner, Dawn, I found out she has been
in business 25 years.
She does her business well.
I tried two different teas, a peach black and a honey pear.
The honey pear was my favorite and quite delicious.
And then there was afternoon tea.
What a pretty tower of food.
To tell you the truth I can't remember what each item
was to give you the menu, but it was good.
As usual there was a cucumber sandwich.
The most unusual was a pesto sandwich
and it along with the salad was a delight.
I always have a smile on my face when I can enjoy afternoon tea.
The scone was good, but oh my! That crumpet was delicious.
My "live-in gardener" even asked for the recipe.
By the time we got to the sweets we were rather full,
so we ate the creamy deliciousness in the cup
and took the rest along for later.
After chatting with Dawn, she encouraged us to take a walk in the garden.
There was a beautiful wisteria hanging over the old baby crib and
lovely window boxes too.
If you find yourself in Spokane, Washington definitely
give Brambleberry Cottage a call for reservations.
The quote on the card we picked up from the cottage was a delight.
"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated
to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
