I love Tao tea (or coffee & tea in general) and have been thinking to try their new matcha drinks…read more I'm so glad I stopped by here this morning. It was very proper matcha latte with ceremonial grade matcha! It wasn't too busy on Wednesday morning around 8 a.m., and the service was quick. The staff were kind and thoughtful, and their recommendations made ordering easy. Even though I was only there for takeout, the peaceful, zen-like atmosphere left me feeling refreshed.

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.

You order at the counter, and there is plenty of seating in the back. We saw lots of people doing laptop work or just catching up with friends.

Amazing tea. Quality is top notch. Everything steeped to order…read more Came here in the evening right before dinner and the place was packed with people waiting to order and waiting for their drink - a great sign that it's good! Looking over the menu I saw that they were offering a strawberry matcha which I had to get. The matcha they use is the viral Marukyu Koyamean's Isuzu, which is refreshing and light. Paired with the strawberry and oat milk it was a perfect blend of sweetness, refreshing, and creamy. As I was waiting for my drink, I walked around and noticed a back section with tables and chairs. Assuming that it's for people to sit down to enjoy their drinks. I was also told by staff at they serve alcoholic drinks after 6PM (if I remember correctly). A cool 2 in 1 spot for coffee /match and drinks. Would definitely go back to try their other drinks since I now they use MK's matcha! Give it a try!

Best cafe in Whitby…read more The beverage options are extensive and all of them sound delicious. I tried the banana bread iced matcha latte and it was delicious. I also tried the pistachio latte and it was equally as good. The pastries were good but I'm not sure if they are made in house. The place was PACKED on the weekend so it might be hard to find seating. Overall 10/10 cafe

The service is great. The ambiance is great. Menu could use work. My brutally honest opinion is…read morethat this place has many great initiatives and I love supporting women-owned businesses. But if I come back it'll only be for support and not for the taste of the drinks. I also think menu is very extensive which is risky if you don't have some staples down good. All in all, it wasn't bad but the drinks are average. I hope they improve the taste and maybe make menu smaller so they can focus on quality over quantity. I'd love to come back once they do. This is in downtown Whitby so limited street paid parking. 6/10 over all.

A lovely tea shop, I would definitely recommend it!…read more My fiancee hosted a tea here to ask her bridesmaids to be in the bridal party. There were about 7 of us total. The Tea Shop was able to accomodate us, giving us a little alcove off to the side. We had sandwiches and sweets, all of which were delicious. There was a large tea selection (I had the Buckingham Palace - a great choice. Cream of Earl Gray was also popular). And it was a reasonable price for the luncheon. I'm planning on coming back soon with other family!

This is easily one of the best Vietnamese coffee and tea spots we've visited in the city. The…read morecoffee is bold and authentic, and we love that they regularly rotate their seasonal drink menu. The Cookie Butter Latte was already sold out when we arrived, but we got to try the Cinnamon Latte and Brown Sugar Spanish Oat Latte from their new signature drink additions. Both had a strong espresso base that still let the cinnamon and brown sugar flavors shine. The Hanoi Egg Coffee instantly brought us back to Vietnam. It was rich, creamy, custardy, and exactly what we'd been craving since our trip. If our caffeine tolerance allowed it, we'd happily work our way through the entire menu in one sitting. The cafe itself has a cozy, welcoming atmosphere that's perfect for catching up with friends, studying, or enjoying a board game date. They also carry a selection of Vietnamese snacks, baked goods, and seasoning kits to recreate your favorite dishes at home. Between the warm staff and inviting space, it's the kind of place you'll want to keep coming back to.

The menu is very large, so our cashier helped us narrow down options. She recommended the roasted coconut milk tea, and the pandan lotus milky. The roasted coconut was lovely, with crunchy bits of coconut, which gave the drink a unique flavor. You don't see a lot of drinks with Pandan, however, they do it really well here. We will be back to try other flavours when we get the craving for some good tea.

The Alley serves a very good bubble tea. What stood out most to me was the texture of the boba,…read morewhich had a noticeably more al dente chew than you'll find at most other shops. It's a small detail, but one that makes a big difference. The tea itself was well made, though I wouldn't say it separates itself from the many other quality bubble tea spots out there. Atmosphere is usually an afterthought for me, but the large tree in the middle of the shop creates a surprisingly relaxing vibe. It almost feels like you're sitting in a park while enjoying the comfort of air conditioning in the summer...or warmth in the winter. Service was fast, friendly, and efficient throughout my admittedly brief visit.

The service is always great, they do have limited seating but it's a perfect place to grab a drink and go! Theres a few drinks I love grabbing every time i'm here. My favourite is the Crunchy Strawberry Milk Tea, its so good and the crunchy topping just puts it over the top. Also some other good recommendations include the Royal No 9 and the Brown Sugar Milk Tea! 9/10 recommend!

This is honestly my favourite place in the city to get all kinds of teas. My favourite one they…read moresell is the Japanese Kukicha tea. This is also the spot where I can buy decent quality and affordable-ish relative to other really expensive brand, Matcha powder. I really hope they don't raise prices when people catch on to the fact that this place has really good Matcha for the price. If I can't go in the store, I will order online and it usually comes in within a day and they will even give free samples if you order online. I've tried their Jasmine tea as well. It is so fragrant and so delicious. My partner was looking for a gift for his mother and wanted a special kind of tea that is a flower and basically blooms when you steep it, and this place that had it. So if you're looking for something niche or just something nice and easy drink this is the place!
