The Vanitea Room, a Tea Salon & Eatery in Centretown, provides a beautiful aesthetic perfect for events. It is known for its lovely decor, creating a chic and Instagram-worthy atmosphere. The Afternoon Tea features a variety of delicious sweets and savory pastries. Guests can enjoy tasty stir fry and delicious scones, with the option for bottomless mimosas. Tea options from the Sloane brand are available, and the menu is diverse yet limited, offering a selection of enjoyable teas.
The staff are attentive and welcoming, making it a pleasant experience. Recent reviews highlight the restaurant's excellent service, with friendly and responsive staff. However, some guests found the brunch experience underwhelming, especially regarding portion sizes and pricing. While the food is beautifully presented, it has been described as overpriced for the amount served.
Despite some critiques, many guests appreciate the overall experience, with comments about the fantastic meals filled with flavor, home-baked bread, and a nostalgic 90’s music vibe during brunch. The Vanitea Room remains a charming spot for birthday brunches and quick tea sessions, inviting guests to enjoy a sublime English tea experience.
