Afternoon Tea At Le Petit Jardin Cafe

We were so thrilled to be invited for afternoon tea! We loved the peach green tea! The 3 tier option had wonderful options. A cheese sandwich, chicken salad sandwich, cucumber sandwich, quiche, strawberry scone with jam and clotted cream, macarons, chocolate-covered strawberries and a little chocolate cake with ganache. Each bit was better than the last. The service was super friendly and they even had a cute princess crown for my daughter!

Our Brunch Date Experience

It was a Friday morning and we had a busy day of errands to run that took us out to East Venice Ave. and finally got over to Le Petit Jardin Cafe.

The coffee was perfect for me but Jason couldn’t resist grabbing a refreshing peach bellini – he said it was sweet and delicious! For breakfast, I had the Le Crepe Delacroix. It is ham, eggs and melted swiss cheese inside a perfectly made crepe drizzled in a champagne mustard sauce that quite honestly was the most delicious part of the whole plate.

On their special for the day was a delicious plate of biscuits and sausage gravy, which Jason jumped for, ordering it as a platter with eggs and sausage.

Final Thoughts

The first time we went to Le Petit Jardin Cafe for brunch, it was such a wonderful experience that they have been on our recommendation list ever since. Having the opportunity to attend their afternoon tea simply solidified our belief that this restaurant is top-notch. Their tasty breakfasts and amazing sandwiches are also highly recommended by us if you’re in the area!
