English Rose cafe that has been around for a while I assume- owners might have connections with the English monarch when I spot a letter framed in the cafe from the royal residence. While that is one facade of the authenticity of this English cafe, the food should still be the main point. While my scones were decent they were not the best English tea scones I’ve had- with a very pronounced vanilla extract element. The icing on the chocolate fudge cake was saccharine and overwhelming after awhile; a pity when the cake layers were moist and good.

What I would return for will be the dense, moist and slightly chewy carrot cake. Reminding me a little of kueh with a vaguely similar consistency, the cake was spiced and delightful bite after bite.
