This little tea room is a hidden gem in Toronto! I would have to say it's better than the Empress Tea Room in Victoria BC .
A wonderful tea experience. I have been to mamy tea rooms, but this tea room is the shining star. Warm friendly, informative service. Wide selection of delicious, teas. Great attention to creative detail. Truly a delight to the senses. If you are a tea lover the Victorian Gargen Tea Room is the creme da la creme of Tea rooms. Treat yourself you deserve it.
This place is a MUST! I have been going for tea here since I was 6 and it will forever be my favourite place. The owner is the cutest lady and her whole shop is so quirky and cutesy. It is exactly what you imagine a little lady tea party to be. The scones are something i dream about regularly and the jam and whipped butter she makes is to die for. The tea selection is great but I always get the same thing. The food is really good too, great staple British foods. The store front is really cute and she sells lots of awesome stuff - tea cups/pots, tea, dolls, cards, knickknacks, etc. Really fun original pieces. I LOVE LOVE LOVE this place!!
Great Place For An Afternoon Tea!. I enjoy everything Victorian so when I saw this place, I thought that I better give it a try! When I first walked in, I noticed that there was a gift shop with tons of great items; from plates to napkins, almost anything Victorian that you can imagine to decorate your kitchen. I went to the desk and was approached by a lovely woman. I explained that I was interested in having a tea. The woman walked me to the back of the store where there were tables and chairs set up for an afternoon tea. I sat at a table for two and admired the beautiful décor on the walls and on the tables. I was amazed at how close it looked to a formal tea room, it looked great! I settled on the vanilla bayou tea with a warm tea biscuit. The kind woman came back about ten minutes later with a large pot of tea and a warm tea biscuit. The tea biscuit was the best I have ever tried, it was soft and warm, it was AMAZING! The tea was also wonderful, with a jug of milk and sugar accompanying it. I realized after this experience that having tea in a tea room is much better than having it at home. In total, my bill came out to about $8; not too bad considering I was given a large pot of tea with an exquisite tea biscuit, not to mention the stellar environment. Will definitely be back when I am in the area!
