There's this little french bakery in the industry part of Rockville off of Parklawn called Saint Michel Bakery. It's the only place that could inspire me to actually get dressed and leave the house at 9am on a Saturday morning to pick up staples for the weekend, baguettes and croissants. These are not just any croissants but the closest to the ones I've had in Paris and Iceland...get the "special butter" croissants. They really do melt in your mouth!

tea time at the greenhouse jefferson hotel

Pin It Now!

Having watched the characters of Downton Abbey, Upstairs Downstairs, and Cranford,ceaselessly gobbling scones and downing gallons of tea, I fancied myself a cup in town. I wanted a "proper" tea time with all the proper accoutrements. So off to The Greenhouse at the Jefferson hotel we went! The earl gray was the best I've had, the scones light and fluffy so unlike the ones I'm used to, and the cherry preserves to die for. And to boot I made Sean put on a proper suit so I could live out my British period drama fantasy!










On the drive back we popped off the GW parkway to enjoy a stunning sunset over the Potomac. The perfect end to a fabulous afternoon tea.
