Abbey Steps Tearoom

Just had the most lovely gluten free sandwich, the staff were amazing, today recommend John

Really loved this place. Went with a party of 11 and they fit us all in. Asked for gluten free options for myself and they didn't have anything due to just opening, so I had a dark hot chocolate instead to fill me up. It was delicious but it only comes in a small cup so ordered another. (On my second visit they provided it in a latte cup and it felt a lot more substantial. I loved the finish on it) My family had mostly breakfast sandwiches like sausage and bacon and black pudding but they looked great and they really didn't take long. The staff were so lovely. So down to earth. And they came to me after the second hot chocolate and said they'd just bought some gluten free bread if I wanted a sandwich, which was so considerate of them. But I was full from my two hot chocolates 😂 but I had some toast and it was very good gf bread. The lattes were absolutely delicious. We came back for seconds after climbing the steps and I can't describe the flavour too well, but it was like espresso and liquorice, but not overpowering. They said it was their own special blend. It was well worth it. They also had some outside seating which was cramped but delightful. I hope to go back soon and see if any more gf options. Edit: went back a few months later for the same dark hot chocolate and it was even better. Love this!!
