The Milk Pail
I went to the Alvin Antique Mall for the first time on Saturday afternoon and notice this cute little tea room called the “Milk Pail” in the back corner. I figure whiled my husband and Aunt were shopping I could get a bit to eat. The white linen tables with roses made the atmosphere was very inviting and cozy so I walked inside and sat down. I was greeted by Jay, who later I found out was the owner and chef. He immediately informed me about the special of the day which was Chicken Salad sandwich, and Tomato Basil soup. A few minutes later he served me the most delicious sweet Raspberry tea and artichoke dip on toasted baguette. While enjoying my appetizer and tea, I had time to chat with a few of the other guests and admire the lovely antiques. My lunch arrived on fine china and half way through my meal, my husband and Aunt finally stopped to see what I had been up too. When they saw how delicious my chicken salad sandwich and tomato Basil soup were, they ordered the special of their own. We had a lovely lunch and didn’t even realize the dessert was apart of the special. When Jay offered us the Chocolate Cake, Lemon Zest or Bread Pudding, it was very hard to decide. I chose the Lemon Zest and it was served warm with powered sugar. Delicious and delightful is all I can say. The portions were perfect, the environment was pleasant, and plenty of antiques to go shopping for! We will definitely be back for Tea Time; what a wonderful way to spend a Saturday afternoon. Thanks Jay! :o)
