Okay so anyone that knows me, knows my love for food. Me and food go together like Bonnie and Clyde, we are meant to be. I hear you laughing but it is true. I just LOVE food. One of the weirdest transitions for me when I moved from Manchester to Stoke was the complete lack of restaurants/cafes etc. There wasn't a crazy number of places for me to visit, no quirky bars or restaurants that I could explore, I didn't have a huge choice anymore and that was odd. I love food and I love visiting new restaurants and cafes and yes, I would call food a hobby.
Don't get me wrong there are a few hidden gems in this city but there wasn't a giant list for me to choose from and I know it would be possible for me to visit every restaurant in Stoke whereas Manchester I don't think it would because the list is endless.
HOWEVER, all of that changed when Tsps opened. This place is nothing short of my Nirvana.
Me and Sophie agreed the other day that this was our favourite spot in Stoke and we genuinely mean that, it is the cutest little place and it can sometimes be hard to get a table because so many people share our love! Thankfully they are extending their seating area to upstairs so more people can enjoy a tsps date! Aswell as loving all the different food, drinks & treats they have to offer, more than anything I love the atmosphere, this place is bursting with positive vibes, The staff are SO friendly and couldn't do enough for you, they even know our orders now which is service at its best and they will stand and chat with you for ages, they take real time and effort getting to know their customers, you feel more like their friend.
I brought my younger sister Olivia here and she can be quite hard to please but she loved it too and was going cray over how good the lighting was, sometimes I wonder if they picked this spot purposefully for it lol!
I also brought my other friend Sophie and her daughter Amelia along to try the cakes. Amelia announced that she wasn't hungry after nibbling the top of her cupcake....5 minutes later she had demolished it..
I will preach about going to the gym and working out and eating good until the cows come home but i CANNOT for the life of me resist their cupcakes. I just can't. Me and Sophie went last week and said we would share a cupcake between us because we wanted to be healthy so we chose a cookie dough cupcake and then OH WOULD YOU LOOK AT THAT, they start bringing out Oreo cupcakes so of course we end up sharing TWO. Unbelievable.

Since this picture they have changed the place around a bit but I had to get a pic of this sign in as it has appeared on mine & my friend's snapchats on many occasions.
I could not recommend this place enough, me and my friends Sophie and Kate go AT LEAST once a week, even if we aren't going together we are dragging other people along with us, they might be confused at our madness while we sit there with Cheshire cat grins plastered on our faces because we love it so much.Think Carrie Bradshaw and her gals sitting at their favourite brunch spot putting the world to rights over coffee- this is our sex and the city spot. You don't even want to know how many pictures I have on my phone from in there but let me tell you people- aswell as the insanely good cupcakes, coffee, avocado toast & falafel wraps they also have INSANELY good lighting. I can see their queues extending before my eyes right now to all you instagram hoes, we've all been there! Here are a few for evidence:
The look of love ^

Tell me you could resist any one of these cupcakes with a big mug of tea/coffee and I will give you everything I have....and you're a liar.
Aswell as the cupcakes, the food they have to offer is so delicious for a brunch/lunch treat. There are plenty of options for everyone including vegans. I love their falafel wraps more than life itself but their avocado toast and salmon/avocado/tomato bagels are very close contenders!
If you go you should definitely try one of their matcha green tea shakes- they are supposed to be a secret but I have to let you in on it because they are AMAZING. Their cakeshakes are an absolute dream in a glass too!
If you didn't think I was a saddo before, I'm almost certain you will know it to be true now but this love for tsps was getting out of hand and I needed to preach about it somewhere! Now go!!! Get your asses down there, you cannot waste another moment of your life without experiencing it.
Happy Monday people. X
