    a table and chairs in a cafe
    Pam C.

    La Petite Cuillere wasn't what I expected it to be from IG photos, website, and from the reviews I have read online. I was expecting a lot more space and better high tea quality ingredients. I appreciate our server letting us know what teas are available and if there are any allergens of any sort etc, which was great because I am pregnant so she modified my food a little bit. I am just a little disappointed with the entire experience. The high tea was just ok. Overall, it isn't what I thought it would be, but I am glad I tried this place out.

    I think this place is definitely overrated. The place is really cute and vibey. There is one high tea set you could order and on top of that you can order the type of tea you want separately. I got a mango jasmine tea, which was pretty good. The food and desserts were also decent but not good. Their blueberry pudding was bland and red velvet did not taste like red velvet. I only liked their mouse cake and the sandwich + mushroom tart. Overall, I don't think it's worth $148 for two tea set and one pot of tea.

    The tea was honestly pretty good! We started with the savoury foods at the bottom and made our way up to the sweet and honestly everything that was savoury and the scone was really, really good. The sweet desserts in my opinion were really sub par (too sweet), I ended up skipping two or three of them after one bite. I don't think there was AC in the restaurant so it was extremely warm even with the fans on... but they let us stay for a decent amount of time and left us alone for the most part which was nice. There's free parking in the lot, but the servers don't seem to pick up the phone so you'll have to go in and tell them to open the gate for you. overall, I don't know if I'd choose this spot over other places in the city.

    Afternoon tea

    Came here for afternoon tea on a drizzly Saturday. We drove three hours from Seattle, so arrived super hungry. The decor immediately transported us to a different time, where the music plays soft and sweetly and the pace of life slows down. With popping vibrant colors and fine china tea sets, it's no wonder lots of people come in and immediately pull out their phones to capture selfies. The food was delicious. Forget your typical finger sandwiches, everything served is a unique small pop of flavor, vanishing once you've tasted all the layers of flavor. And everything has a bit of tea infused, even the rolls and scones. The tea itself is a bit YMMV. My husband ordered the Tie Guan Yin, which was just delightful. My Dragonwell might have been good (it had beautiful crisp color), but perhaps the flavor was muddied by a cup or kettle that previously held something a bit more pungent -- cloves or cinnamon maybe? But no matter, we had a great time and the ambiance + food was well worth the trip!

    Was such an amazing experience! So many tea selections. Everything was great from calling to make the appointment easily, was very easy arriving there cute environment. The little appetizers were delicious. Can't wait to go back.

    I love Afternoon Tea...the social aspect, little savoury bites, sweets and a hot pot of tea. Today I had a wonderful time with 5 other friends at La Petite Cuillere. Our waitress was friendly and took the time to explain the teas (and also gave us samples of tea leaves to smell), explained all the little bites on the three tiered stand, and ensured all allergies/dietary restrictions were taken into account. She really made our afternoon with her sense of humour and attention to detail. We all agreed she deserved 5 stars/5! The menu offered 3 options: 5 of us ordered the Afternoon Tea (all sweets & savouries with scone) and one ordered Sweet & Savoury Tea (took all savouries as she is not a fan of sweets). Your choice of one type of tea with unlimited hot water refills. The shop opened in 2012 but a few years ago new owners took over and renovated and revamped the menu to reflect season flair and also to infuse the elements of tea into their food. One of the delicious sweets was infused with chai tea and we certainly tasted the spices in the custard cream. A comfortable long blue sofa with marble tables in one section and hot pink double seats in another. The environment is glitzy and fun. As we booked the 3pm seating and also not busy this afternoon, we didn't feel rushed and they even allowed us to linger a bite longer.

    I have tried 3 times to walk in and was sent away each time, so then I tried calling to make a reservation. Apparently they prefer to receive reservations by text. When I finally got an answer back the next day this is what it was. Is this even a real business?! Do they want customers?

    Cold, undercooked scone

    Compare to couple years ago which was really good, this place really disappointed me now. I recommend my friends to go and felt very embarrassed coz non of us were happy. Some of the food were more like Costco bought but worst of all was the service and the scones in particular. The scones were cold dry and undercooked. Showed to the server, although I cut mine in half to show him, he insisted that they are warm and cooked. He took all 6 of our 6 scones back into the kitchen to warm up, instead of replacing my uncooked one, he gave me back the same cut up scone still undercooked but just warmed. The server (owner) was just too eager. He seems to think he already knows what we to ask and keep cutting us off. I can expect this from a fast food joint but not a high tea place. Won't return again.

    High tea - sweets and savouries
    Kay F.

    We came here for a girls high tea for a bridal event and they had everything set up for us ahead of time. They put us in the corner with the lovely pink setting and it was nice to have a little area to ourselves. I ended up choosing the mango tea and it had a lot of flavor. They were accommodating of our food preferences and the sweets and savouries bits were all pretty good. The only complaint would be was that due to the heat wave, it was a bit warm in the cafe and there was no AC. It also was a bit hard for the bride to jump between the tables as we were divided into two tables. Overall a great experience and they allowed us to seat longer than the 90 minutes time period set aside. Would recommend for a date night out or a night out with friends.

    Interior, beautiful ambience.

    Missing girl's night out of respect for social distancing efforts due to Covid, I decided that an afternoon tea was long overdue and it was time to carry on. I made reservations and dragged my boyfriend (instead of girlfriends) for a tea experience. Much to my delight, he not only mind going, but he actually liked the premise of tea and scones making it a great new date idea ! As a seasoned pro afternoon connoisseur, I was impressed by their wide selection of tea and ambience. It has a very Instagram decor with a great interior. First impression of the food, it was displayed very aesthetically on a large round display. The savourys were tasty and the scone was on the firmer side, but good. The desserts weren't my favourite, but I'm quite picky with my sweets. Service was good, but not fantastic. The server was polite and helpful, but she didn't seem attentive. When the food came, she didn't go over our items, so we went over the menu ourselves. One semi negative experience was parking. They have a wonderful parking lot on the backside, but you have to be buzzed in. The intercom wasn't working and we had to do a few circles in traffic before calling them with our cell phone. When we paid and left, we found out that you also need to be buzzed in to be let back into the parking lot. There was a line forming and we had to cut back inside to ask for instructions. Some information about customer parking would have very helpful. Overall, it was an afternoon worth spending time here and I recommend checking out to see if its your cup of tea.

    La Petite Cuillère is located on Kingsway and near 8th Ave. It's causal and cosy tea house. We came here for afternoon tea and the décor made us feel like home. We liked custom chandeliers, and velvet pink couches. We ordered afternoon tea set and wasn't impress at all. I should not have high expectation of quality sweets and savories on tier, what you pay and what you get. However, the service pretty decent and this is good place for catch up.

    Perfect place for a baby shower, engagement party, mother's day etc. Lovely decor with velvet fuchsia chairs. High tea is served in half bird cages. The food was tasty and the perfect amount. I'll be back again for a special occasion as I enjoyed my afternoon so much.

    Full tea set was $40 plus tax. It contained 5 sweets, 1 scone, 5 savouries, and a pot of tea. The good: -parking was fine in the neighbourhood. -service was prompt and good. -seating was comfortable. -the egg salad on cracker was pretty good, just very tiny. It seemed to have tahini in the mixture. -scone was warm and good. The so-so (mostly the food): 1. The panna cotta had way too much gelatin. It was the texture of jell-o. Panna cotta should be way creamier and softer. 2. The cream for the scones was not Devonshire or clotted cream. It was cream cheese with that distinctive tang, like Philadelphia. 3. Choux creme was filled with the same cream cheese mixture, lightened up with whipped cream maybe. It should really be a diplomat cream (custard). 4. The smoked salmon open-face would be better served on another base other than sliced sandwich bread, like puff pastry or a grain cracker or something? The presentation lacked a bit of finesse, like what a parent would pack for their child's lunchbox. The cucumber sandwich was already on sliced bread. 5. Instead of a whole mini quiche, we were served half a quiche, with a soggy, limpy shell

    What a wonderful discovery in the hype of Yaletown. This little tea bar (and don't be misled -…read moregreat coffee too) is a much better option for quality and price than some of the others around. I haven't tried the treats - because granted those are hard to compete with against local bakeries - but for my coffee or tea to go with them, this place is my first pick. The owner / barista is friendly and provides top notch service. It is also what makes me keep coming back.

    Alex (aka The Homie) was given the choice between two tea shops while in Yaletown (2/22/18). He…read moredecided on O-Cha Tea Bar, located at the corner of Homer and Helmcken. This turned out to be a fantastic choice, since we had the opportunity to have a warm, spontaneous conversation with Wilson Lee, O-Cha owner and active Yaletown business/community member. I had read previous Yelp posts about the Cold Blaster, but instead decided on the Mocha Chai and Alex ordered the Candied Rooibos. Both beverages were outstanding. This is what I call a pocket cafe. Bright counter seating facing Homer, perfect for watching passersby. Of which, Wilson definitely had his regulars while we warmed up in his cafe. Their usual crafted beverage made promptly, a quick exchange, and then that person's back on their way. My question about how long has this shop been in business ended up as a memorable conversation with Wilson. He shared the details about his business, the Yaletown community, social media, travel, urban growth, his hilarious anecdote about his favorite izakaya place on Denman, and a future trip to Asia for a wedding. There was such a rapport, that we were given an open invitation to a community event Friday evening. Sadly, we weren't able to do so since we departed VanBC a day earlier due to snow. We commented on him on our drive home earlier today (2/23/18) that coincidentally we'd pass signage along I-5 South, that would say Wilson. Too cool. Small cafe, but full of warmth and genuine community pride. Yes, I was able to warm up with tasty tea, get free updated maps and travel brochures while there. But left with a lasting impression and the desire to return to Vancouver, BC much sooner than later. Thanks, Wilson! O-Cha Tea Bar in Yaletown - Highly recommended!

    Great spot for bubble tea in Yaletown. Good assortment of flavors. Nice and quick service.read more
