“Golden afternoons, orchard harvests and a little autumn nostalgia.”

Hundred Acre Wood: A Harvest Afternoon Tea is at  PER’SO’NA until October 10th! 

**Available weekends only and reservations required 🐻🍯🫖

I had such a lovely time celebrating my mom’s birthday at @eatpersona experiencing their Winnie the Pooh themed afternoon tea. 

It featured:

🍯 A Warm Scone Box of Honey & Oat and Apple Cinnamon scones

🍯 Savoury bites ( Roasted Squash & Goat Cheese Tartelette, Mortadella with stone fruit and whipped ricotta, and Wild Mushroom Crostada)

🍯 Seasonal sweets inspired by apple, pear, warm spice and caramel

🍯 Delicious treats (Peaches & Cream Choux, Winnie’s Macaron and the signature Honey Pot)

🍯 A sparklinng Amber Elixir

I was blown away by the attention to detail and we ate and enjoyed every item on each tier. If you’re a tea lover, I highly recommend checking out this experience while you can.

Watch Rose @collage.ista turn Supercrawl into pure joy! 
❤️
As @synonymshop’s Artist of the Month, Rose showed up every single day of Supercrawl to hang out, draw hilarious QuirKatures, and keep everyone smiling. Because honestly… is there anything better than making people happy? 🥹❤️

Her stunning collage artwork is officially on display at Synonym through the end of September. Stop by, grab a coffee, check out the gallery, and support this amazing local talent! 🎨☕

Another James North gem to add to your list🍕

I had the pleasure of visiting @bonitos.pizzeria to try their truffle thyme pizza (Confit garlic oil base topped with mozzarella, sautéed mushroom blend, and whipped truffle ricotta), pesto pasta, paired with a cafe freddo ☕️ & ended my visit with a strawberry+mango gelato!! 

With fresh pizza, tasty gelato and friendly service, this place has become a new favourite
