mperial Afternoon Tea at the Heart of Beijing 👑🍵

#hellohalloween A hidden gem near Drum Tower! This traditional-style dessert shop is such a treat — both for the eyes and the taste buds. Their pastries are beautifully made, flaky, and not overly sweet (which I love!). The place has a lovely courtyard and a two-story terrace, perfect for enjoying an afternoon tea. The interior is decorated in elegant palace style — think Peking opera music, yellow silk couches, and a touch of royal charm. You really feel like you’re having desserts in an old imperial setting! Each pastry is freshly made, wrapped in kraft paper and tied with rustic string — perfect for gifting or taking home as souvenirs. They even have cute traditional Chinese stamps you can use for decoration. Beautiful, delicious, and full of cultural vibes — definitely worth a visit!
