Me, in a fabulous chair at Lovejoy's in Portland
Thank you @mitranite for the photo!
Portland has a new tea room, and I think (hope!) it’s here to stay! Lovejoy's Tea Room on Killingsworth is a blend of traditional and cheeky, serious about the food and tea with the right blend of quirks and welcome to keep it interesting.
The Queen's Tea ($29.95) comes with a scone and a crumpet
I've been here twice, and both times I enjoyed myself. The tea room attracts the traditional ladies who do tea, but also a young, diverse crowd. I think this could be the key to the tea room's sustained success. When I visited recently, a table entirely of young men sat just behind me. Owner Brendon Constans sets the tone for the environment, where one can be welcomed for who they are. All best wishes!
