Cute Tea
By kewpiebaby of Vancouver (200 Reviews)

I remember coming here for one of my birthdays before they had a full food menu and the tea was delicious. We even bought a bunch to take home with us. The staff are very knowledgeable and it's a great place to come for afternoon tea with loved ones. Everything is fun to look at and you can learn so much about where your palate and sense of smell can take you. Love it, can't wait to go back and try the foods and more tea. A great little place to go to after a long day of shopping, that's for sure! =)

Great spot for a proper tea
By BuddyBoy of Vancouver (6 Reviews)
Submitted Wednesday, September 9, 2009 - 3:21am [Dine in]

I'm a tea lover and discovered this spot when a friend brought me there for my birthday some years ago. They were originally more counter-service oriented with lower prices, but they have since undergone a transformation to become a table-service tea room, at slightly higher prices.

The staff are very knowledgeable about tea and can suggest some interesting blends, and rare teas from around the world. The food, scones and desserts are lovely, if, in my opinion, a bit pricey, but I'm content to sit over a pot of tea for one ($5) and a scone with clotted cream and jam ($3.50) and watch the world go by.

Lunch Nov 24/08

My mum and I stopped at this delightful cafe for lunch (as we have done before) in the course of shopping at Park Royal. In the past it was cafeteria style which we don't care much for but the food is lovely and tea selection extensive so we continue to visit; however, they have changed now to full service. The fellow who served us was extremely courteous, attentive and knowledgeable about tea and tea service. We purchased a number of packages of tea as he gave us samples to smell, view and taste. Mum had the quiche and I had the Mediterranean Cheese plate, both ample for a light lunch. My corresponding Nanah Morocco tea was superb. The menu offers tea suggestions to go with your meal and a pot of tea of your choice is included in the price of each menu option. Reservations are preferred for full afternoon tea but they will do so on the spot if you are prepared to wait a little longer than usual (I know this as the people who arrived at the table next to us inquired). The staff here are so gentle and polite I can't think anything would be too much trouble for them. I highly recommend this little spot.
