we had a great lunch. The service was amazing. The atmosphere super cute and immediately I felt the presence of a male spirit. I asked our server and she told us there has been people there who claim to have had experiences with an apparition. Our food was super flavourful and large portions. A little expensive though, 98$ for two for lunch. So not a place we can go to often but definitely on the next special occasion.

Cozy teahouse but excellent coffee is also available.

Historic 1907 home painstakingly restored to Victorian glory.

Had the high tea, it was fun to try different desserts and the atmosphere inside the cafe was lovely! The warm scones were amazing and the rest of the food was pretty good though some of the pastries felt slightly old, perhaps because we came in towards the end of the day? Regardless would definitely recommend trying out the cafe for yourself!

This is a very charming spot staffed with very friendly people and sometimes a cat walks through.

I love it here. It reminds me of tea parties with my Grandmother. You're greeted by a cat at the door, so automatic plus (for those who know me).

Went for tea and reading. Went for mom's 90th she enjoyed it. I suggest for first timers you explain a bit what we can look forward too and how it works. Its OK to add cream and sugar to tea for instance and you sort of flip/pour tea leaves onto saucer.

My mother and I have been seeing Heather since I was a child. I always leave here feeling centred. Staff is very nice, food makes you feel at home.

I got a tea leaf reading from here that was so bang on. Even a few things that at the time I was like no, or that doesn't make sense ended up being true after all. I will definitely be back :)

Food was nothing special. Cups were dirty. Waitress was an angry person. No one ever checked to see if everything is okay.
