• The tea also includes savory finger sandwiches filled with smoked salmon, cream cheese, and English cucumber; honey-roast ham with tomato relish; and mature cheddar cheese with mayo.
• At the candy counter, find Irish and English treats including Chewits and Sherbet Fountains.

Spencer's Jolly Posh Foods, formerly located on Irving Park Road, has reopened in its new home on Southport Avenue. The spacious, sunny shop stocks sausages, puddings, and other foods from British artisan brands; it also serves a "Proper" afternoon tea. Take a peek inside the new store-slash-cafe, below, and (after seeing those fluffy sandwiches) reserve your tea time here.
