Soph had booked us in for the Bella’s Coffee Lounge Quesada Christmas afternoon tea, which is our last afternoon tea of this year. As we are winding down to the couple of days off, we were looking forward to visiting here, once again.
What We Had
We had the Christmas afternoon tea, and it was stunning. The presentation was very eye catching, to the point that a woman on the next table asked if she could take photos. I had wondered if she recognised me, but alas, it was the food she wanted the photos of.
Drinks.
We were offered a choice of drinks, Soph chose an English Breakfast tea, which was served in a really nice, teapot. I went for the milk chocolate, hot chocolate which was fabulous. There are hot chocolate drinks you can order when you are out, then there are the really nicely presented and flavoursome ones. This was the latter.
Actually we both enjoyed our drinks so much, we had a second each.
The Food.
Beautifully presented and everything was presented to use as it was being served.
Sandwiches: We had roast beef and horseradish, turkey & stuffing, tuna mayo, and egg mayo. There was also a really tasty tomato salsa bruschetta too.
Other Savouries: A delightful mini quiche which was really light and a nice salmon vol au vent. There was also was a small pot of homemade slaw, again very tasty and a small pot with fresh carrot and cucumber sticks alongside another with a some really tasty crostinis.
Sweet Selection: There was a mince pie each, a homemade scone ( which came with cream and jam for the fruit scone ), a couple of chocolates, one was just like an After Eight flavour, but better and the other was a really indulgent coffee flavour. We each also had a brownie Christmas wreath and an amazing which we would have been really happy to have as a dessert at any restaurant.
What We Liked
In a nutshell everything about this Bella’s Coffee Lounge Quesada Christmas afternoon tea, it really was excellent from start to finish. Staff are brilliant, they work very well as a team, the operation is slick.
The food and drink was all really, really good. This was probably the first hot chocolate I have bought this year and it was so tasty I had a second!
For me I really appreciated the option to have the hot chocolate as my drink choice, this was brilliant.
A word of warning though, I don’t have breakfast so I hadn’t eaten since Sunday evening and we brought most of the sweet items away.
What Could Be Improved
Yeah, yeah as boring as this sounds, nothing needed improving which is as I said on our previous visit, less than a month ago.
What It Cost For Our Christmas Afternoon Tea
The final bill here was a very affordable 39.99€ for the two of us.
The afternoon teas were €33 and the additional drinks breakdown was Sophie’s tea being €1,95 while my hot chocolate was €4,60.
Would We Return To Bella’s Coffee Lounge Quesada
Again, this is a case of when, not if. Their daily special today was homemade roast garlic, tomato and basil soup, which had we just popped in, I would have ordered.
This place has a lovely, relaxed atmosphere. The decor lends itself to the feel of the place, it has character without being too loud. Today the music was on in the background, not intrusive but just a nice addtion, at a volume that you could hear the tracks but it wasn’t drowning out your conversation.
How To Find Bella’s
As it’s Christmas week, I’d strongly suggest you check their Facebook page regarding their opening hours over the festive period. On their Facebook page they have their address listed as: Calle Blanca, 1B, Ciudad Quesada, Spain.
