Hanna Cherrie’s Teashop

A friend had recently tweeted pictures of some delicious looking soup from Hanna Cherrie’s and suggested it was a place that was right up my street. I popped in, today, to give it a try.

In a beautifully corniced Stockbridge room, the place is part gallery, part shop, part therapy centre, part cafe, and has a nice homely feel to it.

They offer a soup and sandwich deal for £5.95, which sounded good to me. Talk of cauliflower, Isle of Mull cheddar and mustard soup sounded even better. I matched it with an aubergine, jarlsberg and sun-dried tomato panini.

Both items soon arrived, delivered by the marvellously welcoming owner. Soup and a sandwich presented on slate was a first for me. The soup bowl was very smart, too.

The soup proved every bit as good as expected. The mustard gave a nice sharp finish to the creaminess of the other elements. It was very good indeed.

The panini was equally impressive with delicious grilled aubergine and nicely melted cheese. It was a firm thumbs up, once more.

I rounded things out with very good gunpowder green tea, served in a lovely china cup.

So overall, I was very pleased with Hanna Cherrie’s Teashop and would strongly recommend a visit. I’m confident you’ll be as charmed as I was by this lovely little place.
