Alice’s Tea Cup

Wander into this sequestered basement and you’ll be transported to a story land inspired by Lewis Carroll. First, pass through the quirky gift-boutique-cum-bakeshop, where you can browse Wonderland–themed knickknacks along with dense, delicious scones and muffins. Proceed farther in (not easy on weekends) and you’ll discover a sweet room serving big brunch plates (sandwiches, salads, eggs) and the full teatime monty ($25). It’s a fairy tale indeed, except for the service, which can be slow.
