A beautifully atmospheric afternoon tea spot in Toronto -- After Queen Tea Shop…read more This is one of those places that feels special the moment you walk in. The space is filled with vintage European charm, with delicate decor and thoughtful details everywhere you look. It has a soft, almost dreamlike quality to it. When we arrived, the room was already filled with elegantly dressed older ladies, which somehow made the experience feel even more authentic, like stepping into a quiet London afternoon. The whole atmosphere is incredibly calming. The afternoon tea set is generous and thoughtfully arranged. Each guest gets their own pot of tea, and I chose a lemon mango blend that paired beautifully with the desserts. It was light, refreshing, and balanced out the sweetness perfectly. It turned into one of those afternoons where you naturally slow down, enjoying both the food and the moment. And of course, everything photographs beautifully. A small tip--reservations are highly recommended. Even on a weekday, it fills up quickly, and it would be a shame to miss out.

Rating 2.5/5 - rounding up…read more Came here for a birthday celebration for my friends. They were the ones who decided on the location and I'm coming in here blind. This is my second time at a high tea place so I was comparing with one in Oakville. The restaurant is a small place with a few seats so making a reservation is best. This restaurant is within a small plaza within the mall itself. Beautiful decor representing English Victorian-like theme with dishes and plating presentation. I found this place to not be worth the price point in my opinion. The food was just mediocre. The egg sandwich was not good at all. There were too much green onions. The scones were not fresh and just too hard. The cucumber sandwich was not good either, it had a weird taste, I can't even describe it. I got the dulce de leche tea which tasted like water tea, I did not taste anything caramel or sweetness to it. Overall paying over $65 per person I expected a better taste than what I got. I would not come here again.

For only $5 (no tax) you get tea, two scones and a piece of zucchini bread with a variety of jams and butter. Their teacups, china and decor are reminiscent of a simpler time. They also have a shop with handmade items for sale. These include wood carvings, pottery, knitted and weaved items, scarves, greeting cards and so much more. I believe the articles for sale are made in the attached artisans' gallery. There is free parking behind the building. Check it out. It's well worth your time.

Let me just start by giving a huge thanks to our server, Adam, who was beyond friendly and ever so kind. He was such a huge part of why my friends and I had the best time during our session. This quaint shop has a vintage aesthetic and is quite cozy. The food was simple and delicious and frankly, the afternoon tea set was more than enough however the Quiche just sounded too good not to order. That quiche was PHENOMENAL; I'd go back for that alone! The prices were very fair given the set (and compared to other afternoon tea sets).

Once inside you are shown to the parole and given a bit of a history lesson. Once you are seated you are given a binder describing over 70 teas. You get to choose your tea and your teapot. A series of serving occur with homemade mini sandwiches and sweets. The whole tea takes at least 90mins and is very relaxing and fun. Your hostess is lovely and very knowledgeable and she tries to make as authentic an experience as possible. You do need reservations and honestly it's worth the drive for an excellent experience at bottom level prices.

She had interesting information about the culture and society rules in Victorian times. The food was delightful, and the choice of tea was amazing! so many to choose from. My sister took me to Tea Granny's as a surprised, it turned out to be the highlight of my visit to Ontario. My sister and I have decided to make this one of our standard 'go-to's"every time I visit. Thank you, "Lady Kimberly", for a lovely afternoon, you made it a very memorable and special time with my best friend and sister.

Great location and customer service…read more Scones: Decent. A little sweet (which I like), served with whipped cream and strawberry jam. Fruit: The fruit was the best part of all our meals here. It was so fresh and sweet, which I thought would be difficult to find outside of California! I also enjoyed it with cottage cheese, which is not so common at breakfast spots in California unfortunately. Tea: The tea is enjoyable but pretty average when compared to bougier tea spots like The Bruce in Stratford. It's not clear how long I should let it steep for for optimal flavor. I preferred the Winter Dream green tea, which was warm and cozy, slightly sweet. I also preferred the McCrae over the Boathouse blend. The Boathouse blend was a little basic for me, and the McCrae had a slight sweetness that I enjoyed. High Tea: Average - a good price and pleasant experience, especially if the weather is nice enough to eat outside (and catch a bald eagle flying by!). My favorite dessert was the carrot cake cupcake. Ice Cream: Yes, ice cream and tea is definitely a good idea! The banana cream pie tastes like your classic Runts banana flavor (the original banana that got wiped out) and the black cherry has plenty of big cherry pieces. Great servings, and we loved that they served them in reusable bowls instead of disposable ones. Would definitely come again!

If you follow the route, it leads to another bigger parking lot. Parking is free! Reservations are highly recommended. My guest and I made a reservation for two for 1:30pm. It was very busy when we walked in. We got a table right by the door. There were artwork and paintings hung all around the cafe - it was cute. I ordered an afternoon tea set, as well as an extra breakfast burrito for my guest and I to share. There is a tea menu to look at all the various options they have. It was nice to see that they had many options to choose. Our set came with mini sandwiches, scones and dessert and fruits. I would definitely come back to visit - it would be nice to come in the summer and book a table out on their patio.

They have an afternoon tea set, which was highly recommended online and was the reason we stopped by. We got their high tea set. The aged cheddar pimento spread and curried chicken salad was my favourite dishes. The scones were moist and tasty along with the clotted cream. The sweets were my least favourite as it felt a bit generic and less exciting. Overall, most food was good and tea was pretty good. As there are many other tea house on the west side of GTA, I will unlikely return to this one. But it is definitely nice to try.
