You can find all kinds of great international restaurants in Connecticut. Whether you’re seeking Ethiopian food, Indian food, Mexican food, or Italian food, you can find a Nutmeg State restaurant that sells it. A visit to these spots is like a trip overseas, especially when the restaurant’s decor is full of artwork and pieces of flair from the mother country. One country that doesn’t get quite as much love in the culinary department is Great Britain. The nation is culturally revered, with British TV shows having huge fan bases in America and plenty of royal family-loving Americans, but you don’t see too many U.S. restaurants selling bangers and mash. One British cafe in Connecticut where you can enjoy a taste of the UK is Take Tea, a British-style tea room in Avon.

Take Tea is the only British-style tea room in Hartford County. It's located in Old Avon Village, a unique area of town with so much charm and plenty of adorable shops to support.

Tea here is served by reservation only, and the need to plan in advance only adds to the experience. It's the perfect level of refinement without being uppity.

One great thing about Take Tea is the tea room's commitment to sustainability. The dishware is all imported from England, Scotland, and Ireland, but it's purchased secondhand, giving the place a homey and eclectic feel.
