My partner surprised me with a tea leaf reading and lunch, and all I can say was wow! Beautifully decorated, the food can be accommodated to be gluten free and is SO delicious. We had our tea leaves read by Amanda Rae who was able to say quite a few things that hit close to home and I was very impressed. Thank you for such a wonderful afternoon!
I loved this place so much. I was taken for a tea leaf reading by a friend when I visited from Vancouver. The reading was great! The high tea amazing . Such a quaint and beautifully appointed old home. Can hardly wait to visit again from Vancouver.
What a unique experience and even though I went in the middle of the pandemic, I was very impressed with the precautions taken. I felt safe the entire time. Even with the precautions in place you felt like you were having an intimate talk While having the tea leaves red. So casual and relaxed and she spent a long time with us. You feel like you've stepped back into another time. I instantly felt like I was transported to my childhood in my great-grandmother's house, surrounded by antiques and fascinating memorabilia. The tea leaf reading itself was quite something. Being a skeptic, I went in more for entertainment and to try it but I was quite surprised at the accuracy and detail she was able to go into. She nailed it. We were served a lovely tea with fresh fruit, finger sandwiches and tasty desserts. I will definitely be a return customer.
From the moment you are greeted at the door, Calico Cat is an experience you won't forget.
I enjoyed the BEST carrot cake (gluten free too!) Generous slice with loads of creamcheese icing and oh so moist!
I had my tea leaves read by Heather - Wow!
Highly recommend - you won't be disappointed.
Loved Loved this place
It was an experience I will not soon forget
Our tea leaf reader Heather was spot on with everything she told us. She was charming, funny and simply lovely
Our lunch was delicious and the server was fantastic, she certain made us want to return !!! Thank You !!!
We had a reading with Heather and she was fantastic! Such a fun experience. We also had lunch afterwards. The mushroom soup is un friggin believable!! I had the shrimp and cream cheese sandwich with the soup and it was perfect.
OMGGG soy cuttteeeee!! It has an antique cottagecore vibe sadly it’s hidden but I would love if it was more popular. I shared the 3 tier platter with my mother and it was lovely, the little Sammies were so yummy and the scones were freshly baked. As for the sweets and fruit it was truly delicious, sadly we didn’t know about the tea readings or the friendly ghost but will check it out when I go back. Such a beautiful find and needs to be more hyped up <3
