LAST IMPRESSIONS
I really enjoyed the quiche that I ordered at Potpourri, a little more than I enjoyed my tea experience. I told my mom and sister about Potpourri only because I knew they'd like the food. If I were to recommend a tea experience in Dallas then I would have to reserve 24 hours in advance to experience their Afternoon Tea. As I was leaving the tea shop, I noticed the lunch hour is very busy which changed the vibe of quiet elegance to noisy cafeteria.
