As a coffee lover, I was excited to experience the TWR Bird Cage High Coffee at Crown Perth which is a must-try for anyone looking for a unique and luxurious twist on the traditional high tea. The experience is perfect for special occasions or just a fancy treat with friends.
The High Coffee menu comes in two options: $69.50 per person (minimum 2) for nine items of sweet and savoury and an hour of bottomless tea and coffee from an extensive menu, or $89.50 per person for the above plus a coffee-inspired cocktail.
The elegant setting of TWR (The Waiting Room) at the Crown Towers, with its plush armchairs, marble floors, and soaring ceilings, creates the perfect ambience for a relaxing and indulgent afternoon tea experience.
One of the highlights of the experience was the charming rose gold birdcage that the High Coffee was served in.
The three-tier stand of sweet and savoury delights is perfect for sharing between two people.
The truffle croquettes, Angus beef sliders, and lobster spring rolls were the perfect savoury starters.
Next came the assortment of zesty palate cleansers featuring a Mango & Passionfruit Petit Sphere, Blueberry & Lemon Myrtle Coffee Macaron and a Yuzu & Raspberry Cremeuz with Freeze Dried Mandarin and Strawberry Jelly.
The grand finale of the high tea is a trio of mouth-watering desserts that are sure to leave a lasting impression. The Dark Chocolate Cigar filled with Salted Caramel Ganache & Coffee Kahlúa is a decadent dessert that combines rich dark chocolate with a smooth salted caramel ganache and a hint of coffee Kahlúa. The Almond & Vanilla Financier with fresh Raspberry is a light and delicate cake that is infused with the flavours of almond and vanilla and topped with fresh raspberries. The Milk Chocolate Melting Moment filled with Coffee & Hazelnut is a rich and buttery cookie that is filled with a creamy coffee and hazelnut filling and topped with caramelized white chocolate. Together, these desserts create a perfect balance of flavours and textures that are sure to satisfy any sweet tooth.
What sets this experience apart is the pairing of an expertly crafted coffee-inspired cocktail with the high tea. You can choose from a Chateau de L’Orange, ABC, or the TWR classic, Caramel Espresso Martini. Each cocktail is made with precision and care, and the flavours complement the food perfectly.
The presentation of the food was impeccable, and the attention to detail was impressive. The service was exceptional, and the staff were friendly and attentive.
Overall, the TWR Bird Cage High Coffee experience is a must-try for coffee and high tea lovers. The combination of delicious food, bottomless tea and coffee, and expertly crafted coffee cocktails make for a unique and memorable experience. The good news is that it’s available daily from 12 pm to 3 pm, so you can enjoy it whenever you like. Advanced bookings must be made by 12pm the day before.
If you’re looking for a luxurious high tea experience with a coffee twist, the TWR Bird Cage High Coffee might be just what you’re after.
