My niece and I went for Spring High Tea and shared the Masala Chai and the Secret Garden's Secret blend (creamy and fruity). We thoroughly enjoyed both. The food was as good as it looks in the photos (very tasty) and the service was prompt and friendly. For me, I like the hot water top ups so attentive servers are ideal. Definitely give it a try. I might just go back every season!

Nice ambiance, but some chairs were old and shaky.Limited menu options, I wished there were options to add additional items or customize the order.Average food quality and taste.Cookies were good, but not exceptional.Staff was supportive.One major concern for me was the price-to-quality ratio. At $52 per person, the experience and food received did not justify the cost. In my opinion, the value was closer to $25 per person. Reevaluating the pricing strategy could help align it better with the dining experience.Overall, a mixed experience that could be improved.

Place was so aesthetic! A bit antique looking with cute tea cups and decor. Food was amazing and in perfect sizes and portions. Servers were really nice and had a smile on their faces. They asked us if we were celebrating anything before they brought the food. It was my birthday so they stuck a little fondant heart that said “happy birthday” with a candle as if it was a birthday cake. They went out of my expectations to do that and it truly made my day. They customize the message on the fondant for different celebrations, so really it’s such an amazing touch to everything. Overall, we had a great time here. This is definitely a place worth visiting, despite it being a tad expensive, but I assure you, it’s worth the price :)

I appreciated the friendliness of the servers and they are very attentive to our need. We did not take the overpriced high tea set so have to squeeze together in the corner set! The food is of good quality and well presented! Though the place is comfy before noon, it become a bit too noisy by noon time.

Easy booking system - I could select that there was a Vegan dietary requirement.Everything picture you see is from the Vegan High tea.The establishment is very clean and has a very homey feel to it. The decor is good with lots of different tea sets places around the room. Good spacing between tables and doesn't feel too crowded, even when it's busy.The staff was super friendly and accommodating. Lots of checking in too, to make sure we are doing ok. At times a little too much haste with the plate collection, as my partner's plate was attempted to be taken twice when it wasn't finished with. Secondly, one of the berry crumbles had no crumble on top. Thankfully our server went and got another one for us. Everything else had so much time and effort put into the food. It was a shame about this one thing. It was obvious it was a different amount too. (Picture attached).We bought the homemade loose tea as we enjoyed it so much. (Thank you for having this on offer).Great combination of flavours and great ideas for all the foods.The price (I feel) was steep for what is served. One benefit, you could try any tea after your first at no extra cost. It would have been nice to also keep the tea menu at the table after ordering. I also understand why it isn't...Overall Experience - 4/5

Secret Garden is an awesome spot to stop if you’re looking for a British High Tea experience. It is definitely a “treat” for those who might be budget-conscious, but the atmosphere and experience are well worth it. The food is fresh, the tea options are many (and delicious), and the service was great. I definitely recommend booking ahead, especially during any holiday season!

For a memorial picnic, I was very happy I chose the Secret Garden to provide several dozen tea-sized savouries and sweets: 6 types of mini sandwiches, buns and croissants (including some vegetarian and gluten-free) and 3 desserts (Golden Hedgehogs are amazing!).We picked up the order in two parts at times two hours apart and both orders were correct and ready on time. The boxes emptied out as my friends enjoyed the fresh and tasty treats, sized well for a midday picnic.Secret Garden has always been my restaurant of choice in Kerrisdale, for lunch or high tea. I always feel right at home there and enjoy the excellent food and the ambience including rotating art exhibitions. So it was fun to be able to introduce the Garden's excellent food to dozens of my friends at the picnic.

My friend and I drove from Seattle to Vancouver to visit Secret Garden Tea company. We made reservations in advance for the winter high tea and had a fabulous time. Arrive early because parking can be a challenge to find. Once we were there on a Saturday mid day the restaurant was very busy so I recommend reservations. The tea was delicious I got the sugar plum tea and the spread was very filling. It’s a beautiful location and I would happily return.

They were very accommodating to my seafood allergy & gave me extra egg salad sandwiches. My girlfriend had the gluten free menu & both hers & my swrvings were equally delicious. Although I'm allergic to tea was pleased that they had other beverages. Have tried other high tea places in surrounding areas but hands down Secret Garden comes in 1st place. Have been here for my Birthday & Mother's Day & pretty sure there will be more viaits in the future.
