Mad Hatter: Would you like a little more tea?
Alice: Well, I haven't had any yet, so I can't very well take more.
March Hare: Ah, you mean you can't very well take less.
Mad Hatter: Yes. You can always take more than nothing.
The tea itself (I had a Bergamot blend) was delicious, and I would stop by again for just tea and a nibble, not a full meal. They would do well to develop a partnership with their next door neighbor Kara's Cupcakes, as I think the customer base would be very similar, as well as the aesthetic. We stopped by there afterwards for an additional sugar fix, along with a few other princesses in the neighborhood.

Yesterday, Amy and I checked out the new tea room in Ghiradelli Square, Crown & Crumpet. The decor was absolutely beautiful (very Cath Kidston, for those of you who love her prints), with bright, happy colors and whimsical touches. They have managed to achieve a girly atmosphere without looking too twee.
We had the Tea for Two ($42) which was nicely presented and very tasty, but everything was too tiny and delicate to fill us up. It's unfortunate, because the place could have a lot of potential, especially in this location. Our server also seemed put off by Amy''s darling and very well-behaved little girl, and this left a not-so-sweet taste in our mouths. Pity.
