Absolutely bored and craving a afternoon out ,a close friend and me decided to check out Yum chaa sometime early february. As soon as we walked my eyes fell on this beautiful and welcoming armchair – its the kind of chair that you can sink into and loose yourself in!
Lucky for us it was in a quite little corner where we could pour our hearts out to each other!
The counter had a beautiful display and she decided to have the Chilli Chilli Hot Chocolate. I was having a very difficult time trying to decide which tea to have from the amazing range available of Black and Red teas.
I finally settled for a red tea and a little something to bite into….in the quite pauses between our excited chatter I gazed into my tea cup…wishing I could tell what the future has to hold simply by gazing at how the bright red tea sediments lay there… if only …
Loved their quirky note asking for ‘Valentines Day Funds’ now who can refuse a tip when coaxed like that? (espp when it will be used to buy an Adele album!)
The quirky christmas tree kept the corner with the shelves a bit festive and the white washed walls seemed to have a sublimia soothing effect. The general atmosphere of the place is the sort where you can settle into a huge armchair , armed with a tea of your choice and spend hours sipping it alone or not. Its the kind of place you would take a good book to and settle in with a warm pot of tea, allow the tea to percolate and loose yourself in the pages of your fav storyteller.
We lost track of time and almost over two hours later when Yum Chaa got really busy we decided to let someone else take over our cushy chairs…reluctantly almost, promising ourselves that we would be back soon , very soon…
The shabby chic,relaxed atmosphere , mis-matched furniture, white washed walls and their amazing range of teas on offer will stay with you long after you walk out of the place and of course their catchy crazy name Yum Chaa is something you won’t forget easily!

What a lovely little quaint place, I love the sound of the Chilli Chilli hot chocolate x
It is such a lovely place, umm that hot chocolate was yumm!
This sounds such a fab cafe. Quirky, unique and really homely. I think if I sat in that velvet armchair I’d never want to get back up again! It looks sooo comfy! What a great place to spend time with a mate and have a chat over lovely tea and coffee. Tx
Yes, Tracey that armchair is notorious for doing that to anyone that falls under its spell!
