Stop over at Shakespeare's Corner Shoppe for High Tea to sip, savor and sample sandwiches and scones, sweet and savory alike, it's the stuff of Sonnets!
You don't have to cross the pond for this one! From the British Emerald Isles to San Diego's backyard: Little Italy, Shakespeare's Corner Shoppe takes the cake! ...And tea, and scones :) .
What a treat this experience was. The Shoppe's back patio brought to mind a quaint British cottage. I was so impressed with Shakespeare's' style, and menu, with little signs and epithets on and beneath every side and surface! I selected the Coconut Cacao tea and had a plethora of finger foods and sweets off of the set menu.
My favorite savory sampler was a goat cheese quiche, sweet, the scone, with its creamy and fruity spread.
Ne'er before, had I sampled a scone, so rich and flaky and light!
It was both sweet and savory and buttery, with bits of fruit and just the right dash of salty.
I was also very impressed with the servers who knew the tea and treat menu so well, listing off the creamy "Harry and Meaghan " tea and all the notes in its fruity flavor and every variety in the finger food stand of quiches, cucumber and chicken sandwiches, passing to and fro with quick, British aplomb.
This place is sweeet and I'm a fan!
