The room

Twelve tables and a lot of light

The tea room fills the ground floor of an old Calabar house. Tall windows face east, so mornings are bright and the 5pm seating glows. The back room seats thirty for private celebrations.

Step free entrance from the side lane.
Air conditioning, with ceiling fans for those who prefer them.
Quiet tables by the window for reading and laptops before noon.
A generator and inverter, so no outage interrupts your pot.
