    I had a great experience. The sandwiches and sweets were memorable! The teas were delicious. It was nice to be able to try different teas. We even bought a couple of bags of tea. Service and ambiance was wonderful!

    Such a gem for a perfect afternoon tea! I visited Victoria on a cruise for a day and did afternoon tea with my family. We all thoroughly enjoyed it and left more full than we thought we would! The sandwiches were filling and delicious. All the desserts were not too sweet and went well with the tea, which there were many to choose from. The place was so cute inside and beautiful decorated which made it perfect for photos! I would highly recommend, it's worth the trip!

    Staff were kind, atmosphere was so good, the wall art was gorg. We have a res for opening and we walked in, music playing and since we were the first ones there we chose where to sit. The teas were wonderful and the food was delish. We did have to take some home- we got the big muckle. I didn't realize I liked jam and scones until trying these!

    We had high expectations when we made a reservation at the White Heather Tea Room. Victoria has so many amazing teahouses and the standard is definitely high. Unfortunately, this time we left slightly disappointed. The teahouse itself is in a pretty location, but the view from the front windows is just of the street and nearby houses. The interior is highly decorated and it was fun to see all the varieties of tea cups and tea pots displayed on the walls. We opted for the full tea service and they were very kind in accomodating a couple food substitution requests. They have a wide selection of teas, but once the tea was served we didn't get much information regarding how long it had been steeping (or if we wanted milk or sugar) and we guessed wrong and the tea turned out quite bitter. The savory sandwiches were nice - especially the ham pinwheel - but the dessert tier was lackluster. Each item was very sweet and without much other flavor. I opted not to eat most of the desserts and didn't bring the leftovers home. Service was nice, but felt a little rushed at times. I think it's a great spot for a princess tea, but other locations like Abkhazi Teahouse and Afternoon Tea at Butchart Gardens are a better bet for an authentic afternoon tea experience. I'm glad we tried it, but likely won't be coming back.

    I'm so thrilled to have booked our lunch with White Heather Tea Room! This was the best first experience for my husband and me. The service is unmatched. The tier was top tier! The tea was delicious. The atmosphere is calming. The location is perfect. I'm so grateful for this experience even if it was about a 15-minute ride from the cruise port. I loved every sandwich on the second tier. And that shortbread cookie on the top tier is what buttery dreams are made of!

    This is the fourth time I've been to this location and third review. I absolutely love this place. It's what a tea room should look like.The service is impeccable and everybody is in a great mood while they are there. The last time we were at the tea room was in November 2022. It is the first time that we've actually been during the summer months. What a great place to spend a portion of your afternoon having high tea and great pastries and little sandwiches. Our server was Sloan. Very nice young man. He wasn't at the location the last time we were there. He made it fun, though. He knows his teas and what they serve at the tea room. We had Darjeeling tea. It is lovely. Everything was lovely. The Big Muckle is $60 (Canadian) (and as of this writing about $45 US dollar a person) and worth every cent. We love this place and will keep going back!

    The delicious Signature Muckle Tea.

    What an adorable and delicious place. We were given a warm welcome as soon as we entered and were seated at a window table. Our server brought us the tea menu, and honestly, it was such a hard decision. I had the western berry and my husband had earl grey. The tea was piping hot and hit the spot on a cool day. We had the Signature Muckle for two and it was three levels of scrumptiousness. Hot scones with jam, clotted cream, and lemon curd, mini quiches, five kinds of out-of-this-world finger sandwiches and desserts that ranged from carrot cake, to lemon tarts, to chocolate mousse, to cookies, to crème brûlée. This was the first time we've had high tea and we're so glad we found this lovely little place. The service was top notch, the food melted in your mouth, and the tea was a great tummy warmer. Can't wait to visit Victoria (and the White Heather Tea Room) again soon. Thank you all for an amazing experience.

    This place was amazing. It's cute and quaint and owned by a mother and daughter. The variety here was amazing and everything tasted superb, it's also more affordable than the empress. They also have two December tea specials and they were great as well. The Holiday Finale cream puff was out of this world amazing!!! My favorite of the sandwiches was the chicken and mint, a surprisingly delicious combination! I highly recommend coming here! They also have take away boxes in case you're here on vacation and want to take high tea home or want to do high tea but don't want to drag all the kids out. Also, the free parking lot is behind the building :)

    I never write reviews but felt like I should write one for this place! I was visiting from the U.S. and afternoon tea was a must do for me. I looked up multiple tea places and thought I'd give this one a try because I liked the menu best. It exceeded all expectations. The food was all so, so good. You could tell it was all homemade. The amount of food filled me up. I actually got a to go box for my leftovers. The service was just as fabulous. Everyone was so nice and helpful. I definitely recommend this place.

    Top tier of the Muckle Tea for Two. These were so pretty--and soooo delicious!

    Afternoon Tea at The White Heather Tearoom was part of our 40th wedding anniversary celebration. When we honeymooned in Victoria 40 years ago, we missed out on the afternoon tea experience so this was a MUST-DO this time around. I was able to make a reservation online at their website and received an email reply early the next morning, confirming availability for the time l desired. At the time of reservation I requested the Muckle Tea for a party of Two, and as they requested on their form, notified them of an allergy to artichokes (not a common allergy, I'm sure. Based on the online photography at their welosite, the ambience and decor met expectations- it was light and airy, yet cozy and comfortable. The staff was welcoming and seated us immediately, and acknowledged/confirmed allergies, as well as our request for the Muckle Tea. Every single aspect of our experience was lovely from the beautiful presentation, the china teacups, to the flavors of our tea selections. My husband enjoyed the Angels Dream and I chose the Balmoral. Every morsel on the three tier tray was delicious and freshly prepared with great care and attention to detail. We both agreed it was an exceptional experience! I believe you would be hard-pressed to find a more lovely, or delicious afternoon tea anywhere else in Victoria.

    Noon tea selection.

    Afternoon tea was delicious, the service is also excellent! Friendly atmosphere. Highly recommend mad hatter tea!!

    RIP OFF - OVER CHARGED LUNCH PRICES I was there with my friend recently and was very disappointed on their choices of lunch menu options and prices! I ordered a very small sconewich (chicken and apple salad) with soup and my friend ordered a salad and to be charged $29 is incredible ridiculous. Menu said choice for dessert is "slice of cake/dessert bar/2 cookies" but we weren't offered a choice, waitress just bought out a small roll cake and 1 shortbread cookie. I used to come for lunch and loved their menu with options like crepe or quiche! Unfortunately I will not come again until you have a better menu option.
