Always loved going for afternoon tea. I’ve I I I have been going for many years to various places for afternoon tea. My favorite was the Helmsley Palace Viscount room and the Plaza hotel.I’ve been to it he places in the city and have been disappointed. I decided to try out Vintage Tea for my birthday and was very pleasantly surprised. The atmosphere was terrific. The food was excellent the owner Michelle was wonderful. All in all a great experience. The only issue I have is that the scones were a little dense and on the small side, but other than that the food was wonderful.

Amazing as always. This is the hidden gem of afternoon tea. Perfect ambiance, great tea selection (including a variety of non-caffeinated teas), and incredible food. The service was top tier. Every member of staff is kind and makes you feel at home.

This place is amazing. Its so comfortable that I felt like I was sitting in my grandmothers living room. The tower of food they give you is delicious. If you are thinking about making a reservation I recommend you stop thinking about it and just do it. You’re going to love it.

My 2nd time here. Such a lovely ambience & cozy spot! A great place to spend time with your friends. A great selection of teas, tea sanchwiches are generous, & a good assortment of mini- desserts. It was great talking to the owners, Wendy & Michelle, and their service was great. Looking forward to coming back here with my other friends & family!

This please was perfect. The food was delicious and unique. They give you more sandwich options and desserts than most tea places (8 sandwiches, 6 desserts) plus scones and a salad. The ambiance was almost like Brigerton in a living room. They had a large selection of teas with detailed descriptions. They also allow for you to substitute tea for juice for kids who don’t like tea. Very quiet, great for conversation. It’s reservation only so it didn’t get over packed. 10/10 would recommend.
