I'm sorry but how gorgeous is the front of this cafe?! Hidden away in the heart of Nottingham is one of the sweetest, more gorgeous little independent cafes I have come across yet! It's so cute!
As easy as it is to roll out of bed 10 minutes before a lecture, one downside of living on a campus outside of the city for uni is that it can make you feel quite isolated sometimes, especially when there isn't much to do that isn't a bus journey away. So this weekend me and my cousin met up and had a really nice day out just window shopping, seeing Fashion48 and going for afternoon tea at Thea Caffea. Check out her blog here (http://whatthesam.blogspot.co.uk)! Thea Caffea has become one of my favourite little cafes, I have been before, which you may have seen on instagram (@ellacatherine95) - ooh bit of self promotion there! They do the most delicious brunch (which I have tried) and cake (which I have also tried), so I thought I would go for something a little different this time and tried afternoon tea and a hot chocolate. I swear to god by the time I finish uni I will have tried the entire menu!
It is safe to say, I have never seen a hot chocolate so full of cream in all my life (no complaining of course) but it was so tasty, and the scones were to die for! Personally, I much prefer going to independent, small cafes over the big chains like Starbucks or Costa to name a few- the food and drinks always seem so much tastier and I just prefer the relaxed feel to them! This particular cafe felt like a little house with all the furnishings, which was so relaxing and would be perfect for a study break or a date!
The price is really really good as well, seeing as a scone with jam and cream and a hot chocolate with all the works (cream overload today) cost around £6, which was super affordable, so a really nice place to come if you are a student and a bit stuck with money and fancying an affordable day out.
I think I am going to write a post on alternative things to do if you don't fancy clubbing, because I have been going through a phase where I enjoy the odd night out but I really want to do other things that don't cost a tonne of money and don't involve staying out until 3am! Let me know either any suggestions for things to do, or whether you would be interested in something like that- maybe I am just a bit of an old lady!
