The main reason for this post is to tell you that Patisserie Valerie do a very good cup of tea. The one in Cambridge does anyway. Since moving from the North, one of the few things I miss is the water. Yep, I miss a good brew. I hardly drink breakfast tea these days, it’s just not the same. Their tea isn’t up to scratch as when it’s made with good old Yorkshire Water but for some reason it’s a lot better than the tea I’ve drank anywhere else here. Enough about tea, they also do a good coffee and a wide range of delicious cakes. I also love that they open late (7pm), not enough places do that around here.
I’ll have to try Patisserie Valerie in Norwich. I’ve had a few cupcakes from there but haven’t had the chance to sit in and see what the atmosphere is like.

I agree with the water!! When I go visit my boyfriend in London its just a disappointment when I have tea. Even if it is Yorkshire tea. I think I will have to try the special hard water tea bags to see if it makes a difference. I have never actually been to a Patisserie Valerie but always looked in at the cakes when I walk passed. xx
i’ve only ever had ice cream from there but we’re always saying we should go check out the food
I visited the one in Ipswaich a few weeks ago, I found it expensive but nice hot chocolate and pastries, also the atmosphere was a bit too busy busy for me (I suppose that’s good for them!) far too many screaming children and the tables weren’t very comfy…just like basic café tables and chairs,….
