Baltic cafe (ground floor)

A friend and I dipped our toes into this one on Sunday, having frozen our way through the Quayside market and the Gong festival.  Not surprisingly on a cold day in May, it was busy and I was reduced to plonking myself on the only free seat at a table and shaming the other occupants into drinking up and leaving.

So, the table to ourselves (we were at the end of the afternoon tea rush), we sat down and enjoyed a pot of tea - three cups each - from a proper teapot and toffee cake and white chocolate and cranberry branky.  Branky?  That's what it said, but a quick google search reveals only details of a region of the Czech Republic or somewhere and sternly changes any request for a recipe into brandy cake.  I am at a loss, and it was so tasty!  Second visit, with notebook and inquisitor's hat on it called for!

Oh, and we did do the culture later on, and the cafe on the 6th floor is open for coffees etc only during the day.  Would my vertigo stand it?
