Cafe 198 - Castle Point

Had a lovely afternoon tea with a Groupon voucher. Everything was freshly made, delicious cakes with warm scones. Good selection of sandwiches with sausage rolls. Lady who owned the cafe was very friendly and welcoming. Well worth the money we paid.

The afternoon tea at this restaurant was absolutely delicious! The sandwiches were lovely, as were the scones and cakes. I definitely recommend it!

Had a nice afternoon tea here on a Saturday afternoon. it was quiet with only two other tables of customers. Service very friendly. I had booked via groupon and pre-ordered a vegetarian afternoon tea. Selection of veggie sandwiches, egg, cheese and cream cheese plus a couple of veggie sausage rolls which were unexpected. Scones albeit a little on the small size were home-made and the Manager heated them up for us. Got choice of butter or clotted cream to go with the scones plus a choice of jams. Massive pot of tea also. Cakes were gorgeous. These were of a decent size I do hate those mini cakes served at some Afternoon tea establishments but not here! and obviously hand-made. I enquired about one of the cakes and the Manager explained that it was a lemon and raspberry cake, absolutely delicious. We couldn't eat it all so took home the leftover cakes. Would return.

This cafe has a great atmosphere thanks to the friendly owner who adds special touches like fresh lemon with your green tea. It's a hidden gem.

We just had afternoon tea at this restaurant and were impressed by the unique presentation of two separate plates for sandwiches and cakes. The sandwiches were carefully crafted and delicious, while the warm scones were some of the best we've ever tasted, surpassing those from many upscale establishments. All of the cakes were homemade, and even the chocolate cake, which I typically find too sugary, was perfect. We will definitely be returning to this establishment.
