So I wanted to get a croissant at
Bea's of Bloomsbury to continue the tradition. They didn't have Croissants, so I get an orange and cranberry breakfast scone. Here is my review:
I have only been to Bea's of Bloomsbury on one other occasion. For their absurdly sweet afternoon tea with Pamela. For 9.50£ you get a scone, clotted cream, jam, a cupcake and a variety of mini deserts plus obviously tea. I was super hungover that day and I just couldn't do it. It was just too much. However, I recognised that my judgement was probably impaired.
Note: I really need to be doing reading, instead I'm doing this. OH WELL.
So after my 9am lecture I walked to Bea's hoping for a croissant. No luck. I instead got an americano and a cranberry and orange breakfast scone. At home I heated it up and put it on a plate with a pat of butter and some jam. It was honestly perfect. Buttery and perfect on the outside, soft and flavourful on the inside. The butter melted into it and the jam was an excellent compliment. I may have had a terrible job interview yesterday, I may have within 10 hours sent 5 of the most awkward text messages of my life (sorry!), my body may be rejecting my decision to take an herbal mood lifter, it may be rainy and grey outside, my headphones may have died, an empty water bottle may have just exploded on my desk (well it jumped up on the air on it's own 1-wtf 2- call GHI!), and I may have not lost any weight this week (hopefully I gained muscle?), but Bea's has made everything okay, for at least a few minutes. Please, if you're in Bloomsbury go to Bea's. I can't wait to take Lianne there for their cheaper (£6) afternoon tea that comes with scones and jam. And I clearly need to start going there more.
Oh. My. God. And now my Peace and Security essay is ready for pick up. Ugh. I may need to go back to bea's later. FML. The last two days have been way too much.
