in search of scone

 

No I did not eat all three of these...

Friday was a day off, and I decided to drag hubby and tm along for some exploring in tokyo. A few years ago I found this great antique warehouse with a cool cafe. I really had a GREAT scone there- I had recently figured out that it maybe was near our apartment (I had lived elsewhere when I found it the first time by bus) So we set out to look for adventure and SCONES.

It was great. The shop is called Globe. And it is very different from most small antique shops in Tokyo. It is huge. 4-5 stories high. cafe downstairs and gorgeous outdoor garden area. I really felt like we had a little afternoon away in Europe or the UK.

We had a nice lunch and the VERY yummy scones above. From right to left. Rum Raisin, Plain, and White Chocolate Latte. I was the plain. (wanted to judge based on my scone searches in other spots- and needed to use the Plain one as a control)

I especially loved the whipped cream and marmalade they served with these delicious desserts.

Definately want to head back there again. ALso on the way home we went to a great little park, AND found a wonderful wine and cheese shop. I am sure that the shop will feature in future fancy glass posts.
