Things that could be changed?
Since the store is so tiny, there was very little table space for everything necessary for afternoon tea and we JUST barely managed to fit everything. In addition, we were somewhat squished when another big party came for their appointment (There were only 4 tables in the ENTIRE place! We took one table while the other party took the remaining 3!) Also, while the afternoon tea was delicious, we cannot say the same for all the macarons due to inconsistencies in quality. Some macarons were great with a crispy outer shell, and fluffy, soft centre while others were overly hard and chewy. For a store that specializes in macarons, that really should not be an issue. Also, soirette has relatively small macaron compared to some other bakeries around town.

This past weekend, Cera and Wish visited another cute afternoon tea place. Originally a macaron boutique, Soirette now opened its door to the world of afternoon tea on the weekend. Since the place is super cute and small, you need to make your appointment ASAP as space is VERY limited.

| Aren't they adorable? |
 |
| They have so many different flavors! |
The Verdict:
We loved the
afternoon tea! The savories were scrumptious, the scones moist and
fresh, and the desserts were adorable. The menu also changes seasonally
so you won't be bored! However, in terms of pricing, at $36 per person,
it is slightly on the higher end. Things that could be changed?

Do we recommend afternoon tea at Soirette?
Definitely. It's worth giving it a try and we're planning on visiting again to try their adorable spring/summer menu. Hopefully, their macarons will all be well made the next time we visit!
