What a wonderful experience from entering the gardens with a docent explaining the history to the tea and luncheon in the house.
The service and food selection was spot on.
I highly recommend

I took my sister for high tea. It lived up to my very first experience. The choice of teas was very good and the sandwiches and scones were excellent. There are gluten free options as well. I really like the china cups and all the china doesn't match. Each service is different . We were seated by the window overlooking the gardens and even in the late autumn,the gardens are soothing and wonderful to look upon. The only drawback was that the music was a bit loud and interfered with my sister's hearing aids. They kindly turned it down when asked. The tearoom has limited seating so everyone can see the gardens. Reservations are recommended. This is worth the visit and then a stroll through the calming gardens.

We stopped here as a shore excursion during our cruise. The staff were all very kind and welcoming. The food was pretty tasty. I was pleasantly surprised at how much I liked the egg salad on rye (I’ve always had rye on my do not eat list). There was a little bit of disorganization and chaos, but that didn’t take away from the experience too much. I would love to go back again sometime!

I highly recommended this teahouse. I really enjoyed the peaceful atmosphere and the table settings. The staff were calm, professional and prompt. If I were to visit Victoria again I would definitely return to the teahouse.

We really enjoyed the afternoon tea here. Friendly service, nice garden for a quick stroll after a delicious meal. My friend went crazy for their clotted cream. The scones were yummy and the sandwiches were all different and delectable.

My wife and I stepped in the teahouse at 11am sharp. This is a very nice teahouse, quiet with a beautiful view of the well maintained garden. There are only two 2-people tables right next to the big window. Since we had the first seating, we were lucky to be seated at one of the two tables.
High Tea has more items than Afternoon Tea and some items on the Afternoon Tea menu are not on the High Tea menu. So we ordered one of each to cover the widest selection..
All items are freshly made at the Teahouse. One spice even come from their own garden. There are wide selections of the tea too. We enjoyed so much on everything presented.
There's a small giftshop.
The garden itself, separately managed from the Teahouse, is all run by volunteers. We were told that this is the prime time with a lot of flowers blooming. Gardener is trying to extend the season with flowers bloom later of the year.
Oh, there's a guest book on the table right outside the dinning room. Don't forget to sigh it.

Thoroughly enjoyed our stop at the Teahouse at Abkhazi Garden while visiting Vancouver. While the friendly staff, teas, scones and cozy atmosphere were exceptional, it was the gardens and trails that really caught our attention. Thank you. Until next time!

A lovely afternoon tea with all the trimmings. Excellent service, large teapots, great quality scones, tea sandwiches and sweets.
Lovely young lady serving and the setting is TDF. A beautiful 1.5 acre garden with mature trees, water features, flowers, and cultivated beds. Absolutely beautiful.
$90 plus tax and tip. Worth your money. Reservations a must.

It was a memorable experience at the tea house.
Both my boyfriend and I were amazed by the waitress.
The COVID Protocols were very reliable, too.
One of the highlights is the homemade jam. We decided to buy this jam!
Before we were seated and left, we had a chance to visit the gift shop, and we had a great time.

We loved the experience of winding our way through the peaceful garden to the teahouse. We weren't very hungry so we opted for the Elevenses tea. It was the right amount for our appetite at the time. The Silk Road tea was delicious. I chose the Earl Gray.

A truly pleasant experience! Food was delicious, especially the sweet scone. It was currant and citrus peel. So good that I didn't eat half of it with any jam or clotted cream! Never has this happened in my many years of having high tea. It had great hight, crispy bottom, and the dough was not over worked 👌 I even got an extra one to go. The pastry on our asparagus and guyere tart was exceptionally flakey. The sauagse roll was also wonderful, very tasty and hearty; it featured sausage from Salt Spring Island.
I'm term's of service, Josh was a friggen delight to talk to! He was friendly, polite, and asked us about how we were enjoying the tea and food. He was so genuine and made the tea that much more enjoyable. Thank you, Josh!kop

This is a great place to visit! Loads of history, great gardens and the food is awesome!

A little busy, a little little, but still lovely and worth all of the praise. We had tea for $38 a person, and it was very tasty and good value compared to the even more tourist focused places. Servers were Uber friendly and the food really was very tasty.

Today was Mothering Sunday in Britain and so we arranged an outing with my Mum for afternoon tea. The venue was lovely, the service was great and we enjoyed the great selection of teas from Silk Road as well. I had a gluten free afternoon tea and found it to be equally as lovely as my family’s who were having regular afternoon teas. After lunch we walked around the guidance and enjoyed all the spring growth and flowers that were peeking up everywhere. The ponds and paths and mature trees were beautiful to explore. It is lovely to see such well-established and well cared for gardens open for public enjoyment and appreciation.

I love this place for two reasons; the garden is absolutely beautiful to stroll around, and the food is delicious. This is a great place to enjoy a quiet course of high tea and take in the beautiful garden view while doing so. Definitely call in beforehand to make a reservation, as with most tea houses. Also despite going during winter, the garden was still worth seeing. There's also a cute little gift shop with a sweet little selection of floral and tea related goods.
