is a French themed tearoom and gift shop that is bursting at the seams with charm and character. You can find this quaint little cottage on James Street in Guildford. It reminded me a lot of the Cottage Tea Rooms that I visited in Henley Brook.



or "Maddys" as it is known by some is run by a mother daughter team. It opened in 2011. Owners Jan and Claire do all their own baking and have lovingly decorated the entire place with decorative items like tea sets, soaps, vases, old posters and flowers.



The cottage is small and has a "grandma's house" feel to it. Wander from room to room and have a look at all of the gorgeous things on display.

When we visited it was a quiet afternoon and we were the only ones there. I ordered a hot chocolate for $4.50 and a plate of scones with fresh cream and jam for $4.50. I really liked the plate that the hot chocolate came out on. It had roses on it. It was a nice touch. I like places that serve you things on nice plates. I had lunch at a place the other week that served me food on a plain Ikea plate that had been taped together with a bit of sticky tape on the back. I was not impressed. My scone was piping hot and dusted with icing sugar. It was resting on a blue plate and came with a serving of cream and jam. The scone was fluffy and warm and very nice with the cream and the jam. I would gladly visit again.
