The Location: Costa, Hall Rd, Norwich (opposite the new Asda)
The Visit: Monday 17th October 2016, early afternoon
Cake: Sicilian Lemon Muffin
Tea: Twinings Everyday, milk added by server, double cupped
The Cake: I have to say I'm a fan of lemon cakes, and this was no different. Just the right amount of moisture, sugar frosting on top and a dollop of sharp lemon curd baked into the middle. Very nice.
The Tea: Twinings' Everyday is probably one of my least favourite mainstream teas, and whilst drinkable, not my favourite. It has a bitter taste that doesn't sit well with me, certainly not as good as their English Breakfast blend.
The Café: I was here with my children after school (as the usual swimming lesson was cancelled), so I asked for my tea in a takeaway cup in case they finished their smoothies sooner. Despite being in a busy location, the cafe itself was almost empty, for most of our visit we were the only patrons. This did lead to a calmer atmosphere, at least when the children were drinking, eating, or colouring in the supplied activity sheets. I'll be back! The score would be better if it were not for the Everyday tea.
Verdict: 8/10
