Tea time in Durham!
Had Lemon Cheese Cake. Not the typical cheesecake but fluffy sponge cake with cream cheese.
Let's get to it!!

| Lemon Cheese Cake with Latte |
As you can see, the cake isn't typical cheesecake.
The bottom layer is crushed crackers with caramel/toffee, then topped with lemon sponge cake, then lemon mascarpone cheese cream, then again with the lemon sponge cake again, the to top it all off is the lemon meringue cream with lemon drizzle of course!!
Overall, the cake was great!!! For people who has sweet tooth for Lemon flavoured cakes, this is gonna be your favourite. To me, after the first few bites, it was nice, and tasty. But after that,the lemon flavour was too strong as the lemon was infused in every single layer of the cake.
But it was fine for me because i ordered latte. the Latte was great and the flavour was just right for me, not too bitter, not too sweet. Having the cake with latte was heaven, as the latte would counter off the too much lemon-y taste from the cake.

| inside the shop, order up front. |
The shop was located upstairs and it's quite a small place. Although it's small, it felt cozy inside, very comfortable. The staff were very friendly and all of them serve with a big smile on their face, very sweet of them.
Treats Tea and Cake Shop does not only serve cake and tea, they also serve all day breakfast, Full English Breakfast to be precise. I didn't order the breakfast was because I didn't notice it when I first went in, all I saw was cake!! haha.
But other customers were ordering their breakfast, it was a huge portion and it looked very appetizing!!
Lemon Cheese Cake : £3.15
Latte : £2.45
Ambiance : Cozy and comfortable
Definitely recommended for all Sweet Tooth!!
Love,
