Amazing! My cousin and me went for afternoon tea and our server Adam was very helpful with the options and friendly! We went for Victorian Afternoon Tea which included two teas, and two trays, each with two tiers. The first set was with sandwiches for both tiers.. second was with scones.. along aith butter and cranberry sauce. Totally worth for the price as we got many items and way cheaper compared to other places! Will definitely be back :) Thank you!

A lovely little shop that lives up to its name! It is filled with unique and antique tea pots and has a cozy and comfortable atmosphere. The server we had was lovely and knowledgeable about all the different tea varieties and every dish featured. The food was delicious and the tea was lovely.

A must visit! We got the Victorian afternoon tea for 4 and we each got a choice of our own tea (individual pots), a sandwich tray, and a desert tray that was more than enough with leftovers. Adam is super knowledgeable and an incredibly welcoming host, he made our first visit feel like we were regulars who had been coming for years.Vegetarian options: The finger sandwiches for the Victorian tea were all vegetarian friendly (though not as much for strict vegans in the case of the smoked salmon and egg ones).Dietary restrictions: The staff are great at accommodating dietary restrictions and we overheard another table ask about gluten friendly options, to which they responded that while they don't carry gluten free breads, guests are welcome to bring their own to have the sandwiches prepared!

Visited the tea shop to have the Victorian High Tea special to celebrate a birthday. On walking in, you are greeted with a cozy space filled with homey and curious decor.Adam greeted us and helped us. He was very welcoming, professional, and kind.While the tea shop was busy, the noise was respectable. We were very much able to have our own conversations.As for the food, the tea was delicious. The sweets and sandwiches were also simple but lovely. We were definitely full after the course.We really appreciated the hospitality of the Old Curiosity Tea Shop. Adam went well beyond what we expected. Thank you so much for the lovely experience and we hope to come again.

Tea is fantastic, very high quality. Highly recommend the cream Earl Grey (if you're a fan of Earl Grey). Wonderful atmosphere, superb service from the host, really friendly and knowledgeable. If I could make a suggestion, I'd have more selection for desserts. Besides the scones, there were only biscuits. Overall, it was a wonderful experience!

Today I hosted my sister in-law’s bridal shower at The Old Curiosity Tea Shop, and let me tell how amazing the service was. Everything was top notch. The Food, the staff, and the service. The owner was so welcoming and hand in hand with me. Everyone loved the atmosphere and all in all. I’m definitely going to recommend this place to friends and family. We truly had the best experience. Thank you so much.

We had such a lovely Saturday afternoon here. Adam was simply the most gracious host with exceptional and warm service and hospitality. Thank you! ??My husband and I both had the Afternoon Tea. I chose the Cream Earl Grey Tea (hands down one of the best I’ve tasted) and my husband had the Lemon Mango Tea. The selection and variety was waaaay more than what we expected for $29 per person. Tea sandwiches, the Welsh Rarebit (a welcome treat), the scones, and the lemon raspberry tart were all so delightful.We definitely enjoyed our visit. I always prefer and appreciate traditional English afternoon tea so this did not disappoint. Even the interior, it was very traditional decor so appreciate its authenticity. Don’t even ask them to redecorate because this is part of this experience and its charm.Will definitely come back. Such a great place to just sit back, gossip, and eat the weekend away and detach from the outside noise.

We visited from Waterloo with my best friend to try somewhere different. We had a truly lovely time. The atmosphere was exactly what I was hoping for since I had been to a tea shop in England before. It was quaint and collectique. The server/host was kind and patient with us. He explained the menu and the different teas very well... The sandwiches were delicious, the tea choices were perfect for us and the sweets tower was wonderful! The warmed scone with clotted cream and jam yummmmm! If I could make one small critique would be the washroom (it was clean but could use an update).We went for the traditional tea time dinning experience and it was worth what we paid. It looks like there are other options on the menu as well. We went for 10:30am which was perfect as it did get busy come lunch hour.

I've been trying to get a hold of someone to get more information on private event bookings but no one has gotten back to me. This seems to be a common theme as my friend also tried to make a reservation but went elsewhere.
