Where Can I have a good Cup of Tea in Kampala,Uganda?

Afternoon Tea within Kampala

In spite of the colonial British history of Uganda it is amazingly difficult to get a nice cuppa and a number of cakes (essentially scones with cream) on the other hand; I won’t be disheartened by earlier results and also have soldiered up with some success.

Listed here is a listing of places that which offer form of afternoon plus high tea or otherwise all the essential ingredients to help you to make your own DIY variation… regrettably the finger-cucumber sandwiches still elude me however I have not lost hope yet.

Rocks plus Roses

They as well do a selection of other pastries plus deserts (about the 4,000 to 7,000 mark) in case you wish to supplement as well as a choice of main dish sandwiches (having real genuine chutney).
