At Marlene’s Tea & Cakes, a haven so divine,
Three friends gather for a Galentine.
The air is laced with the scent of brew,
As laughter intertwines with tales anew.
In this charming nook, a symphony unfolds,
Birds outside serenade, their stories told.
A melody of friendship, in the cozy embrace,
As Marlene’s Tea & Cakes, becomes a sacred space.
The overcast sky, a quilt of muted hue,
Yet warmth emanates from friendships true.
A pot of soup, steaming and kind,
Comfort in every spoonful, a treasure to find.
Hungarian mushroom soup
Conversations flutter like butterflies,
Sharing secrets, dreams, and sighs.
Each sip of tea, a moment to savor,
As time slows down in this heartwarming flavor.
Pistachio tea
Marlene’s magic in every sip and spoon,
A celebration of friendship, lasting as the moon.
Heart-shaped treats, a sugary delight,
Crafted with love, pure joy in every bite.
Flourless chocolate souffle cake, Red velvet cake parfait, mini pavlova with chantilly cream, lemon bar cookie
The air is filled with whispers and cheer,
As friends share dreams, drawing near.
On this overcast day, a palette so gray,
Colors of friendship in every display.
Chicken and lemon tarragon ribbon sandwiches, cucumber sandwiches on pink bread, apple brie and pecan puff, heart shaped beef empanadas, and heart beet/blood orange sandwiches
Marlene’s Tea & Cakes, a haven so sweet,
Where laughter and love perpetually meet.
Underneath the clouds, a bond takes flight,
Galentine’s joy, a treasure so bright.
Cherry and white chocolate scones
So, let the tea pour and stories unfold,
In the company of friends, hearts consoled.
Galentine weekend, a treasure so sweet,
An enduring bond, in joy and retreat.
Happy Galentine’s Day!
