Afternoon Tease - A New Cafe With Retro Appeal

Last week I paid a visit to the newly opened Afternoon Tease cafe in Cambridge. I first came across the lovely Jo Kruczynska (aka Afternoon Tease) at Cambridge Retro Disco, a fundraiser for the local Folk Museum. She had spent hours making a multi coloured rainbow of party rings (recipe here) for her retro bake stall. They were displayed on old records and I just couldn't resist the temptation of their neon icing. I knew from then that with her baking talent and creative eye that she deserved to go far. 

So it was with great excitement to hear that Afternoon Tease was opening a cafe in Cambridge. I followed the efforts of Jo and her team as they fitted out the cafe on her blog, and they really have made an amazing transformation. A fabulous neon sign draws you into the light cafe and you come across a counter laden with tempting cakes and other goodies. I love the retro touches to the decor - tea served in vintage cups, a 50s style kitchenette unit behind the counter and even the staff wearing kitsch aprons. The food was just great too. I can definitely recommend the crumpets and the chocolate brownie!

At 13 King Street, Afternoon Tease happens to be right next to my local Post Office, which is where I send off all my vintage from by Etsy Shop, so I have a feeling I'll be popping in to sample more of their treats in due course!
