It’s been a while since I have actually made the time to go somewhere new and different – usually Waitrose, Tesco and Age UK are my places to go if I want to get out of the house for a while but this morning I had a little explore...
In the Georgian market town of Ampthill in Bedfordshire there are many tea shops, cafes and restaurants but there is one tea room that is very different from all the rest. This is Cakestand and Crumb. It is relatively new to the area and can be found down the Kings Arms Yard – sounds exciting already! Having heard stories and tales from members of the family about this tea room with a vintage theme, I decided this morning to take a little trip and find out for myself what could be so wonderful about this little place. Well, I can certainly say it lived up to its high praise. There were delicious homemade cakes, leaf tea in a pot with a dainty china cup and saucer, old-fashioned mismatched chairs and tables, vintage paraphernalia dotted around the walls and floor. It was a real pleasure to visit!
Unfortunately this wondrous shop is only open Thursday to Sunday but it is well worth a look in. I guarantee you’ll love it as much as I did.
