I recently visited for an afternoon tea, and while there were some highlights, there were also a few disappointments. The scones were absolutely excellent—fluffy, buttery, and well baked, easily the best part of the experience. The sandwiches, however, were lackluster. The brisket croissant stood out as the exception, but the rest didn’t leave much of an impression. The petit fours were another letdown, as they were excessively sweet, even for someone with a strong sweet tooth. Overall, the experience had its moments, but it didn’t quite live up to expectations.

High Tea: The tea was amazing and great selection. Service was excellent. Food not so much. Bread was stale, we laughed as we didn’t get any roast beef in the roast beef croissant, scones were meh. Desserts were very good. Everything but the food was wonderful.

Our waiter was lovely! The setting pretty but less than expected for Bloor St area- charming dated lunch plates were cheap, very worn with black marks. Should be proper china. The food selection was mediocre. Scones nice, petit sandwiches unimpressive, petit desserts nice but modest and unimpressive.
