Ever wondered what it would be like to have your pastries come in a beehive? We didn’t either, until we heard about SocialBee. Tucked away in Hilton’s lobby, SocialBee serves an afternoon tea you only hear buzzes about. Neat rows of pastries, layered desserts and unlimited coffee and tea await at this luxe afternoon tea spot.
The beehive concept is inspired by the locally sourced honey from Hatta and offers an alternative to the traditional. Here’s what awaits you at this afternoon away from home.
What to expect from the SocialBee afternoon tea
Not too gimmicky and not too buzz-y. The concept of the beehive afternoon tea is beautiful. Each beehive has several tiers that open into compartments. These drawers are filled to the brim with desserts, savouries and small bites. Hidden drawers, custom keys to unlock the beehive and the delicious taste of the afternoon tea delights are just the start.
You will find the signature carrot cake, honey cake with Hatta’s local honey, strawberry verrines and more in the drawers. Especially curated by the Hilton’s pastry team, this selection is what the buzz is about. A true feast for all senses that you do not want to miss.
And the drinks? Unlimited tea and coffee await with your base package. We love the idea that you get to discover your food. You’re not selecting items from a buffet you repeatedly have to get to, or make decisions a la carte. You get what you get – and it’s mind-numbingly amazing.
