Tea at Tache Chocolate

Before I went to Chicago for the end of the year, my friend Christine and I met up for tea at Tache. Tache is located on the lower east side and sells chocolates, teas, gelato and also teaches chocolate making classes in the basement. While we were there, a father and daughter took a class together and there was also a large birthday party for group of girls. The location is very quaint:

The chocolates are sold in the front of the store and are all very well made:

They also sell cakes, puddings and cookies:

The server brings out all of the different teas they have and you smell them before picking your selection:

We picked our teas (I chose a Jasmine tea and Christine chose a black tea) and the server brought us our teapots and semi-matched tea cups:

The tea was brewed and then the tray of tea sandwiches and desserts were delivered:

The top row had homemade chocolates and pretzels to dip into chocolate:

The second row had chicken salad sandwiches and tuna salad sandwiches and the bottom plate had different fresh berries to dip into the chocolate and an orange marmalade. I missed the scones and Devonshire cream that usually comes with tea, but these three plates of food were all very delicious. Christine and I caught up since we haven’t seen each other in almost four months and enjoyed ourselves on a sunny afternoon on the LES.
