Biscuiteers To The Rescue!
/Hello Careless Readers, how are we doing today?
I am feeling the blues but fear not there’s lots to be happy about! I got my NYC trip cancelled last week and I decided to make the most of it.
How? Playing kids again.
And what do kids like? Eating, drinking, drawing, playing and repeat.
That’s exactly what I did. Where? Biscuiteers.
Our favourite suggestion for 2020 so far!
A British owned business, Biscuiteers started by husband & wife Harriet Hastings and Stevie Congdon realising a huge gap in the market for stylish and customised biscuits. Who needs flowers when you can send biscuits? they said. Now more than 10 years later, not only they have quite the emporium, they also have two Biscuiteers shops in London providing you with the cutest crafted biscuits and the sweetest and most relaxed afternoon teas I’ve been to date. They also run a DIY cafe where you can make your own biscuit creations and workshops where you can become a Biscuiteer master.
Needless to say my partner in crime and I were in awe with the idea and so off we went to try all of this out over the weekend.
After a wholesome hot yoga class in Brixton, we headed our refreshed selves to Northcote Road where the Biscuiteers have their second residency. We hadn’t even walked in and we were already excited. The facade of the shop looks like a drawing, as if you were going to immerse yourself into a fairytale by crossing the door entrance. And it kinda was like that. We were greeted by super friendly people at the shop who attentively showed us to our table and our biscuits to be made! It was tough but super fun and we were quite happy with the results!
As we were letting ourselves into the biscuit drawing world, we were sold on the idea of an afternoon tea, and whilst sipping and eating cakes, we finished our pieces. The afternoon tea is great quality price, a fantastic selection of sweet and savoury cakes with an addition of a macaron to finish off. Our favourite was without a doubt their take on a savoury cheesecake with onion chutney, which I believe is a new addition to their menu.
A definitely must-try of 2020. Wel’ll be back for more!
