The afternoon tea was beyond delicious. Every sip of tea, every bite of pastry hit the right note. There wasn't a single bite I didn't enjoy.
My only complaint is that our waiter was new and gave us a hard time over small adjustments to our order. And it was pricey, but the place was also unbelievably cute. -

So, it's been about 6 months since our visit to the U.K. and I have been wanting to post this review for some time... I was too worked up when the "incident" initially happened, but now I can with a clear mind...
So as far as the bakery itself. Food, ambiance,and service were all mediocre to sub par... however my real gripe is with what went down and how it was handled by the wait staff... warning, this will be a lengthy post...
After some time on trying to decide where to have our first ever high tea in the U.K. my wife and I landed on Brigit's Bakery. Upon entering we were less than thrilled with the layout and setting, did not have that English tea room feel we were hoping for. However what happened next really set our UK trip off on the wrong foot...
While my wife stepped away for a moment to use the toilet, a middle eastern woman came up to my table (which was at least 50'-100' from the entrance) and approached me from behind. She began yelling at me in Arabic (or some other middle eastern language) and had a pamphlet that she continued to push into my face and throw on the table. This happens for several minutes, she started on my left and worked her way behind be and onto my right. All the while she continued to yell and throw this pamphlet into my face and on the table. After 5ish minutes passed (which is a lifetime when your being berated by a stranger) she finally left. Upon my wife returning from the toilet she immediately asked where her phone was, apparently it was left on the table, and in the commotion of the events that just happened, was stolen by the woman.
When I approached the wait staff and asked if they saw what happened there answer was "yes,sorry about that." I asked why the didn't interject and have her removed. They said that sometimes these people get aggressive so it's best to leave them alone. Then I told them that she stole my phone and their response was, "yeah, that's not the first time this has happened."
I was completely beside myself... if you saw what was happening and knew what she was after why would you not check on me after she left or stop her at the door!!! The staff was completely
Un-helpful, did not do a single thing to help the situation, and was more worried about having me pay the bill (for a meal that we didn't get to eat or enjoy), than do anything to help me.
I will never go back to Brigit's and fankly it has left a bad taste in my mouth over London as a whole...
We loved the country side and tried to not let it ruin the remainder of our trip. -

Mum and I had afternoon tea on Brigit's London Bus which travels from the 1932 Art Deco, Grade II listed building which is Victoria Coach Station.
It's perfect if you've already 'done' afternoon tea at a couple of the nicer hotels in London and want something different.
The sandwiches and cakes are absolutely lovely, but be careful not to fill up too much! There are small warm scones that come out later! The tea is served in cute and colourful B-Bus travel mugs (which we got to keep) and the prosecco in plastic champagne flutes. They even gave us little pink B-Boxes for any leftovers to take home.
The bus drives around the central London sights and there is a recorded commentary as you pass the different places (although they need a speaker at the front of the bus as it was hard to hear with the other travelers chatting). Note that this is NOT a hop-on hop-off bus. You are seated for around 90 mins to and from Victoria Coach Station. -

First afternoon tea ever and it's in London :')
I dragged my guy friend with me to this pink and flamboyant restaurant to drink afternoon tea with me. I'm such a good friend.
Arriving at the restaurant, I thought it would be one of those restaurants where the decor is the main attraction, not the food. Thank you for Brigit proving me wrong. I was surprised by how delicious the food was! The desserts weren't too sweet, the sandwiches were tasty, and I loved their teas!
The food was delicious, the price was affordable, and thank you Brigit for the best first afternoon tea ever! -
