WOW. My absolute favorite afternoon fix these days (but not every day for calorie reasons) is an Earl Grey tea and an Irish Scone from Irwin's. Irwin's is in Wallingford and has been in this location for decades and decades. It started out as an old-fashioned neighborhood grocery store. These days Irwin's is about lattes, pastries and café fare. Check it out for tea time!

I have to re-write this review. Originally, I gave Irwin's a 3, but have since started getting better coffee drinks there. I also have tried some of their pastries, which are quite tasty. Their homemade pizza is a bit pricey, but was *very* delicious - the flavor from the mushrooms was amazing! and the crust was delicious. Normally, I don't eat pizza crusts, but this was great. The artwork that they display and sell for local artists is also usually very tasteful and adds interesting atmosphere.

The location is at Bagley's and 40th in Wallingford - in the middle of a suburban neighborhood, so it's convenient for locals (and the Judy's Book team, at least until we move to real offices ;-)
