As temperatures fall, warm tea and sweet scones become especially appealing. Stockholm offers several places for afternoon tea, including Tea & Garden, a small tea oasis in Vasastan that has welcomed guests for 15 years.
Teapots and cups fill the shelves, while afternoon tea arrives on floral china. Guests choose their own tea and receive homemade scones with clotted cream, apple and cinnamon jam, lemon curd and raspberry jam.
The savory course includes sandwiches filled with Skagen salad, smoked salmon with dill, and cheddar with pea shoots. The experience ends with sweet pastries and sorbet, depending on the menu selected. Guests can also add cava or champagne.
Tea & Garden is located at Dalagatan 36 in Stockholm.
