It's a quiet Saturday afternoon. I sat with my cup of herb tea and a tea stand filled with bite-size pastries. I was about to indulge in a tasting ceremony and wrote something for you so you can enjoy your time as much as I do.
While many appreciate afternoon tea, we don't favor the tiring preparation. Starting this week, I decided to initiate an expedition where I visit various local shops in Austin and online that can help me set up a gorgeous afternoon tea with no more than a short shopping trip.
The first stop is the French bakery and cafe shop, la Madeleine, a franchised french cafe that celebrates the integrity of French cuisine. Ordering online and picking up at store service makes shopping convenient and time-saving.
The tastes of cake, tarts, and parfaits are savory and very French. We can also get seasonal drinks like pumpkin spice latte and Chai tea latte to try out. We recommend NOT ordering the catering dessert for afternoon tea because the $30 Mini Tart & Parfait Tray has 12 mini desserts. The same assortment of mini fruit tarts, mini lemon tarts, mini chocolate tarts, fruit & vanilla parfaits, and sacher torte parfaits can be ordered using the Mini Tart and Parfait 6-Pack option. The same 12 desserts cost only $11.59x2=23.18.
On top of this, we recommend adding some individual cheesecake, Caramel Crème Brûlée. We may also add some fresh-baked bread to make the options more fun. If we have more people, we recommend trying the bakery box, which costs $13.29 per box for six bakeries. It's a great deal.
Let me know how you enjoy your afternoon tea and shopping at La Madeleine.
