The service here was fantastic. While not stroller or handicap friendly, the staff try their best to accommodate. No change table for baby but they arranged an area for us to be able to get the job doneTeas and foods were yummy. The scones were fresh and warm. A nice variety of savoury and sweet. The staff were so polite. You can tell they love the shop. Would come here again

When you find a place this great, you just want to keep going back. This is a seriously authentic experience. Adam is wonderfully attentive, without ever being intrusive, & so incredibly knowledgeable. The food is all family recipes, which Adam graciously talks about. Sherry in the kitchen is absolute magic. I am incredibly picky, & presentation is everything to me. The food is a delight visually, so perfectly presented. I can’t find enough adjectives to do it justice. Thank you for another fantastic lunch!

I came here for afternoon tea to celebrate my birthday with my friend, and they gave me a sticky toffee pudding on the house! The tea selection is so wide, I probably have to come back here multiple times to try more of them because they all sounded so interesting. The food itself was okay, nothing too special but the comfortable atmosphere and the amazing service makes up for it. Our server was so friendly and very attentive, always making sure that we had hot water and having our food expedited on time.

This was an amazing experience! The staff are so nice and extremely helpful! We brought our 82 year old aunt from Edinburgh Scotland here and she really enjoyed it! She said it was better than the tea rooms she had visited in Edinburgh. The food and desserts were delicious and the tea was beyond expectations. Thank you so much to the gentleman staff member who assisted our aunt with the stairs and for being an excellent host!

If you're looking for a genuine tea room experience then this is the place to go. The vintage decor, the atmosphere, the service down to the tea and food options were wonderful. Definitely recommend doing the tea for 2 that comes with a 1 two-tier sandwich tray and 1 two-tier sweets tray. Honestly it doesn't seem like much but you're definitely full by the end and they have to go bags for the sweets tray. The salmon sandwich and the raisin bread sandwich, amazing. The fresh scones with both the jam and cheese spread, to die for. I had the vanilla Earl Grey tea it was beautifully sweet balanced with floral. I will definitely be returning and most likely become a regular.

Quintessentially British experience.Beautiful decor, top notch service from Adam and delicious food lovingly prepared by Sherry (sp?). We enjoyed the Afternoon Tea for 2, yummy sandwiches and Welsh rarebit, followed by an assortment of dessert treats and the star of the show SCONES with (home-made) CLOTTED CREAM + jam. The teas were tasty too!Great place for a date, families, small groups, and did I mention the super-friendly welcoming knowledgable Adam to serve you up heavenly food from Chef-Sherry? :)

This little place is a gem on Main Street Markham!!! There were so many kinds of tea and we could try as much kind as we want. The sandwiches and scones were absolutely delicious! We loved the Irish Cream tea and the blackcurrant tea. The tea sets are very nice and the ambience is quite English. Service was great, the owner was very friendly and took the time to explain each items he served. We would definitely recommend this for a nice afternoon tea.

Finally managed to get a reservation after years of trying. The restaurant had a quaint atmosphere and the host was very polite and well informed. We ordered the afternoon tea and the cheese bruschetta, and liver pate sandwiches were quite flavourful and tasty. The warm biscuit went well with the clotted cream and jam. The cream earl grey tea was the highlight for me however with a nice creamy texture and a hint of sweetness, no sugar required. It was decently priced considering restaurant prices these days.
