I had decided to resume my work "Tea" on Sunday afternoon when one of my friends asked me (I know life is sometimes done well) to go try the Other tea in the 11th. I arrive a little late, and find the dude in question being comatose on the seat quite comfortable. We're starting to drool over the slate, which includes muffins, chocolate fudge, a cake with chestnut flour ... Map of teas on its side is really not bad, and my choice (genmaicha = Japanese green tea blended with toasted rice kernels) proves a winner. In short so far so good.
It starts to go wrong when we try to order a cake and the waitress (sister of the boss, very nice but a bit outdated) gently explains that the 5 proposals, there are only two that are available ... "But soon as the muffins will be cooking. You wait?" "Yes, we're going to order a cake to share with chestnuts to wait, and after we take muffins.
We taste so our tea, and heard all the customers ask where are the muffins, and to our dismay the muffinesque situation does not improve. Half an hour later not only are they not cook, but it seems that even the dough is at the planning stage ... We redemandons a little hot water to another waitress, history of waiting, a waitress who looks like us "but to me they want these morons?". She finally consented with a sigh to take our little tea, and returned shortly to close in the quarter filled with: "I had no hot water." Yes it was the dare, but it did ... I almost shot him overthrow of boiling water over the nose, to see if it made him of the effect. I have chosen (a remnant of Education given to me by my parents I suppose) and well I can. Indeed, the water was warm, it would have been useless.
At this stage of our taste, so we are starting to be seriously impatient ... Ok, we can say I'm in rants, my eyes are bloodshot and throw lightning and I really want to start to be too unpleasant. My friend took matters in hand (I think he was afraid that the girl j'étripe with my teeth) and ask for more where are the muffins. The waitress replied just leases it back, but we understand that it is better to forget it. I asked myself the big questions when I got home (because yes I am like that myself, the metaphysical questions do not scare me) and in particular why they have not erased the cakes are not available on their slate? it takes two seconds and it avoids the disappointment of customers.
My buddy bought them anyway tea (it's a tea shop at the base) but I have stayed away. If we only had exceeded the waitress but nice all the time, I think I experienced this taste differently. Here I am particularly promised not to return. There are plenty of nice cafes in Paris without imposing this kind of adventure.
