Amanzi Teahouse, London W.1.

The tea and coffee shop scene in London is already overcrowded, but this new entry on New Cavendish Street, just off Marylebone High Street, is a great new addition.  A huge variety of exotic teas, such as bubble tea and passion fruit tea, together with excellent coffee blends, combined with friendly, efficient service in a relaxing decor,  including outdoor seating when the weather permits, make this a really pleasant destination.  You can also have unctuous hot chocolate, ice blended tea and scrummy cakes and cookies, but  best of all they serve their iced coffee in outsized martini glasses – how cool can it get?! And so much nicer than you know who round the corner….
