The Location: Marks and Spencer cafe, Norwich (upstairs)
The Visit: Saturday 17th December, late afternoon
Cake: White chocolate and red velvet layer cake
Tea: Unbranded
The Cake: This was a good cake. Delicious chocolate flavour, with a white chocolate candycane on top. Enough, but not too much, cream and frosting, and a moist cake made for good eating,
The Tea: About average. Not bad but not excellent.
The Café: I managed to scrape together an hour in the run up to Christmas to get away from the family to buy them Christmas presents, and snuck into a cafe for some tea and cake before meeting up again. It wasn't long before closing time, and the choice of cakes reflected that - I had the last piece of what was apparently a very popular choice. It hadn't dried out, which was good. Not many people left in the cafe by this time, I found a place hidden away in a corner. I wasn't disappointed, though the excellent cake was let down slightly by the poor tea.
Verdict: 7/10
