I love afternoon tea. While you always hear about the high-end Toronto places, which are admittedly…read moreunparalleled by its food and experience, it is also very expensive. So I usually save those for special occasions. But when I'm craving an afternoon tea experience for no reason, then I look up places outside of Toronto. I've been to several now, they are usually more traditional and while not as fancy, also half the price of the locations in downtown Toronto. I saw lots of great reviews for the Escarpment Tea Room online (but not on Yelp). From the pictures I had an idea that this would be a very homey experience. And it is actually located in an old house, next to a legion-like venue. Unassuming, it wasn't too hard to find though. The place is pretty small and a bit crammed with seating for about 20 people. It felt like we were in someone's grandmother's house with British memorabilia and trinkets everywhere. But the owner is very sweet and chatted with us, giving us info on each of her teas which are a mix of bag and lose. To be honest, we found the teas themselves fairly average. What stood out for us was the food. The savory items came out first, followed by sweets. It is traditional and not an overwhelming amount, but almost everything is made in-house, using good quality ingredients including a salmon sandwich which was made with fresh salmon. The desserts were all thoughtful created, freshly made and really delicious as well. I was highly impressed considering the owner seemed to do almost everything herself. The place wasn't full, but I imagine she staggers her reservations so people aren't rushed. I recommend this place for those looking for a nice afternoon tea experience, but aren't as fussy about the tea itself.

Lovely tea experience! If you're thinking of going to the Fairmont or some fancy hotel forget about…read moreit come to Edwina's tea room! Her sandwiches are way better than hotel high teas (my favorite was turkey with mango jelly but also salmon, cucumber, quiche, Brie and jam, egg, etc). Fresh and she will give you refills :). Scones are authentic and yes she has clotted cream! A great assortment of loose leaf teas. All ingredients she uses is organic. Lots of fun hats to pick from. This is very worth the trip from toronto

There is a large waiting area with both booth-style testing and a standing area. The decor is very modern & aesthetically pleasing; perfect as backdrops for those bubble tea photos! The qq fresh taro milk tea is a favourite of mine. I recommend getting it with 30% or 0% sugar as the topping and fresh taro paste seems to be very sweet on its own!

Jasmita the owner of this location was so helpful and friendly in helping me pick between a regular signature matcha milk tea and the roasted one. She gave me a sample to try and even though I was worried to try something new outside of a Taro Smoothie. She made it for me quickly and asked me to taste it in front of her to make sure I liked it. I could tell she really cared and wanted me to like it. And I did! It wasn't too sweet even though I got regular sugar amount, and very less ice. It was strong to satisfy my caffeine fix and also the regular boba was sweet. I would definitely recommend this spot for a substantial afternoon snack and know you'll be well taken care of.

I am not a tea drinker, but I've always loved Chai that I've often had in Milton homes and have never had the same experience in local tea shops. Chai, if you don't know is a type of brewed tea made with Milk and water and sweetened. To me it doesn't taste like what I'd normally think Tea is and I've always loved Chai. I really enjoyed their "Chatime Milk Tea". It is served cold (which I wasn't expecting) but really has the similar chai taste I like. I'm really glad this place has opened up close to my home. Chai is honestly the only tea I enjoy. I'm not sure if "Chatime" is legit chai but it tastes similar to me, it can come with pearls (Tapioca balls or sometimes called boba or bubbles) or without depending on your preference. They can also adjust sweetness level to your choice. Chatime is actually a global franchise so I had low expectations but it's actually really good so I'd recommend people try it (especially I think if you like Chai). After our first visit we went back again and had the pleasure to meet the local owner who lives in Milton. She was very kind and we could tell she really cares about both the service and quality and wants to do everything possible to ensure both are high.

It's beside the Real Canadian Superstore parking lot. It has no seating and is take out only. The shop is bright and welcoming. I've never been to other Maverick's locations but this one was good. I was surprised by how good their coffee is! They have soy and oat milk alternatives. The dough for their donuts are nice and not too sweet! It's reminiscent of a old fashioned sour cream dough - which I love. If you have a sweet tooth go for the fritters and stuffed ones. Vegan options are available but note that they are all fried in the same oil. I have already been twice during soft opening week. Had to go back and get another box for family!
