Tea time (Burpple Beyond: $14.10)!
Sunday afternoon tea time via Burpple Beyond — $14.10. Small cafe stop with the subscription discount stack.
Sunday afternoon tea time with BB after the sit-down brunch — pulled the Burpple Beyond deal at $14.10 for the small cafe stop. The 2-meal-Sunday format that we keep ending up doing.
We ordered (Burpple Beyond tea time set):
- A sweet item (cake or pastry)
- Drinks (coffee + tea)
Total: $14.10 via Burpple Beyond.
The tea-time set via Burpple Beyond is the smaller cafe variant of the previous high tea spreads we’d done. Less elaborate than the tiered-stand format, more accessible than the full afternoon-tea-at-hotel experience. Designed to be a between-meals snack with proper sitting space.
The sweet item was the centre of the order. A wedge of cake, a small tart, or a slice of pie — whichever the cafe was featuring on the Burpple Beyond menu. Mid-tier cafe execution — properly baked, fresh, with the textures and flavour density that distinguishes a real cafe from a chain.
Drinks were the standard cafe pairs. A coffee for me — probably a flat white or an Americano — and a tea for BB. The Burpple Beyond set usually includes the drinks rather than charging separately, which is part of the value.
The Burpple Beyond afternoon tea stack at $14.10 saves about $8-10 versus full price. Subscription continues paying for itself across the cafe and restaurant rotations.
The two-meal Sunday format (sit-down brunch + cafe afternoon tea) is the lockdown-era discovery that we’d kept up through phase 2. Splitting the day’s eating into two smaller-paced meals rather than one big sit-down feels better — the morning brunch in the kitchen energy zone, the afternoon tea in the cafe-as-third-space mode.
Sunday rhythm during phase 2: brunch out, tea out, dinner at home. The home kitchen still anchors the day, even with restaurant options restored.
Overall: 4.3 / 5. 😋👍🏼 Solid tea-time stop via Burpple — would repeat.
