The Old Curiosity Tea Shop Reviews
Just had a wonderful lunch. Adam our server was exceptional. He gave great input into all selections. From our chai tea, to Welsh rarebit, quiche and sticky pudding, it was delicious. 5 👍👍👍👍👍
Brought my in-laws for 96th birthday celebration for High Tea to this quaint whimsical, lovely place!! Service was warm, inviting and professional. Food was not only beautiful to look at, but also a gastronomical delight. Fell in love with the Rooibos Bourbon Street Vanilla Tea! The unbelievably luscious scones were melt-in-the-mouth delicious. Sooooo worth the drive from Oshawa to Markham!
This place is great! Not only is the food super fresh, delicious and elegant. The atmosphere is amazing. The staff is very attentive and caring. They draw a friendly crowd that makes it feel like you are among family.
I can’t say enough good things about this place.
This is my place to go to when I want to hang out with the girls.

The Old Curiosity Tea Shop is a charming British-style tea room that requires reservations well in advance. The tea selection is exceptional, aromatic, tasty, and perfect with biscuits, scones, and sandwiches. While the sandwiches were a bit dry, the biscuits, scones, sticky toffee pudding, and apple crumble were deliciously British. The attentive service, lovely atmosphere, and friendly staff make the experience enjoyable. Customers can also purchase tea to take home, with flavors like Vanilla Cream standing out. The Victorian Afternoon Tea option is highly recommended, offering a variety of items at a reasonable price.
The tea shop has a cozy vibe with wonderful and welcoming staff. Guests are treated like royalty, with the host greeting them with warmth and familiarity. The menu has something for everyone, and the management team is accommodating, even for last-minute requests. The inviting ambiance and attentive hospitality truly uplift the spirits of visitors, who are eager to return and try more items from the menu.
