Aline's Tea Shop

Great gem in Timmins! The owner, Claudette, realized a dream of hers after 25 years and it's a valuable addition to the community. Lots of tea choices with home baked goods and very clean facilities. Bring a book and settle down with a fresh pot! They also have coffee and hot chocolate as well as soup and sandwich options for very affordable prices!

I stumbled upon Aline's Tea Shop as I was looking for a place to have some lunch and do a little work. I called ahead to ask if they have Wifi, and they do (the password is written on a little chalkboard propped up behind the counter). This place is decorated beautifully, and has good vibes - you'll want to spend time here. Martine was behind the counter today and was so personable and helpful - fantastic service! The owner, Claudette, is a beautiful person who considers her shop as a meeting place where customers are family, and she has certainly realized her vision. She regularly chats with patrons and genuinely cares about their experience. Her shop is named after her grandmother, and her framed photo is up on the wall above the large windows facing the street. :) Plenty of seating (including a longer table in the back, should you need a quieter space), and Claudette tells me that she will be starting meditation nights on Tuesdays, and they offer other events as well (tea and painting, etc). And the food was sooo good - all homemade - try the chicken dumpling soup and the double-chocolate avocado cookies! Her sign says Tea Shop, but rest assured they do carry coffee - Moja Coffee Roasters, to be exact - a company based in the North Shore in Vancouver. I tried both the dark roast (Sumatra) as well as the French Roast as per Claudette's recommendation. Both great cups of coffee. Next time, tea! Do yourself a favour and visit Aline's Tea Shop.

Always welcoming. The food is fresh, homemade and amazing. The deserts are to die for, so you'll need to try something like the huge cookies or date squares. Great place to visit and chat with friends.

Amazing place! Very nice stuff, who even remembered me when I came there next day. I recommend this place to everybody who loves nice atmosphere and good coffee. :-)

Great atmosphere. Wonderful homemade menu. The Pizza grilled cheese was amazing!
