As you might expect from a proper British operation, Nicole Farhi's in-store café excels at teatime treats like scones and Chelsea buns, all available to go from the tantalizing takeout counter. The tea cake—a subtly spiced confection that could potentially usurp the dominant position of coffee cake hereabouts—is what hooks us: moist and tender, enriched with almond flour, and garnished with caramelized apples and slivered almonds. Whole cake available by special order.
