Yumchaa Tea Room in Brick Lane. London

Image
Yumchaa Tea Room in Brick Lane.  London Small independent cafés and tea rooms are alwatys much more expensive than chain cafeé like Caffé Nero or Costa but they offer nothing more than them. This is not the case for Yumchaa.  The selection of teas is huge, the ambience modern and welcoming and the service quite good. Please see also my YouTube channel:  https://www.youtube.com/user/settime2588 P.S. just next door to this tea house there is a place called  Kahaila Cafe   .  I  respectfully strongly suggest you stay away from it . An espresso coffee I had there was ridicolously small, the prices are very hih and the service quite lousy. The place also looks bad and with cheap furniture.   Go to  Yumchaa Tea Room  instead, for a good hot cup. They also make good coffe and cappuccino and they have snacks and sandwiches.
