Tea is better than coffee

In the world of tea rooms, an honourable mention must go to Kim's Coffee House in Saffron Walden.

Firstly, it has the most amazing selection of tea, all loose leaf. It's served in great teapots which don't lose the heat immediately and is of a great quality. Ask to see the 'full' tea list and try the Sikkim - somewhere between an Assam and a Darjeeling.

Secondly, the food is pretty good. One expects a nice selection of cakes from a tea room, but this cafe serves a good range of sandwiches, salads, breakfast options and homemade cakes. I had a delicious open bagel with mounds of smoked salmon, presented with a huge lemon wedge and some black pepper.

Thirdly, it's in a good location and has a nice garden at the back.

My only complaint is that it isn't open on Sundays!
