If you're looking for a lovely afternoon tea in Montreal, then you've definitely come to the right place, rest assured you will not be disappointed at all, let's start:

1. We were served first with lovely fluffy scones & a selection from a variety of teas (I took apple pie, she took cream of Earl Grey).They also have gluten free scones which was appreciated (notify them when making reservations). The choice of 6 toppings (butter, cream, triple berry jam, marmalade jam, bourbon caramel, & lemon curd). EVERYTHING was delicious. We could have asked for more, but we saved space for the savoury round coming up next.

2. We had each gluten free selection & non-gluten free, it had: first layer: salmon quiches; Second layer: cucumber sandwiches, each sandwiches; Third layer: cheese cakes, shortbread cookie, cookie cake, butter tarts, & fresh fruit. Everything was fresh & we especially loved the cheese cakes.

3. We were so full & satisfied. Definitely, this will become a tradition for us to come to this place.

4. The staff were so personable & took time to chat with us, they were so friendly & welcoming & offered us the gluten free goodies to take home.

You'll see in the third picture that we ate everything!!!

I would give 100 star rating if I could.

What a gem! We had such a great experience; fantastic service, wonderful friendly staff, excellent food all prepared fresh. Homemade jams, hot fresh baked scones, exquisitely prepared desserts, we can't say enough about the place! The owner even came out to greet us & was just a pleasure to speak with as she shared her passion for the food & for our common love for musical theatre (as the played show tunes once the afternoon tea was wrapping up! 🥰). We are now officially hooked & look forward to going back soon! ♥️

Loved it! Had the whole tea service, everyone was extra kind & the food was just *chef's kiss*. We didn't feel rush to eat & leave. The scones with the choices of homemade jam is definitely a must. 100% recommend & will visit again

Not your usual high-tea spot. This cozy place offer a delicious aromatic variety of teas. Their scones hug your soul along with their heavenly home-made jams, caramel, cream, & more to devour with scones. Their adorable sandwiches & desserts will not only fill your appetite but your heart. I truly appreciated their warm & bubbly service. Please note they only take cash or E-transfer.

Long review ahead, but TLDR; this is a fantastic place for scones, lunch, afternoon tea, a date, a catch-up with friends, or a nice solo-date. Scones 11/10 with the best spreads & mixed teas. Photos ft Afternoon Tea with scones (new jam & plating), English breakfast tea mixed with a berry tea, & afternoon tea with yummy sandwiches & an assortment of desserts! We moved tables after a big group came, but it was fine! Long review: Absolutely LOVE this place. I've been going since 2019 & will always keep coming back. My first impression in 2019 was how warm & homey the place felt. Ciaran, the guy working the floor & the register at the time, was such a lovely presence, & always offered an extra scone after I had excitedly finished my first two haha. BEST SCONES, hands down. After the early years of the pandemic, I stopped seeing Ciaran there, & instead met Kate & Donna! I hope I'm getting the names right. Donna is a star & approached my partner & I when we were speaking, maybe a little too loudly haha, about wanting to recreate their lemon curd at home! She told us all that was in it without sharing secrets, & it was just so lovely. Again, I feel so at home with how friendly & casual the staff is :) Kate is ever lovely & brings an extra spot of brightness! I often overhear her speaking with the elderly customers, calling them by their first names, & really bringing that hospitality & personal touch. Most recently, she handled my booking through Google actually! When we got there, there was a mixup with the booking, with her knowing we had reserved, but we weren't in the system. Despite this, we did some Tetris with the tables, & it all worked out! Should have been stressful, but she made it lovely for my last litte date with my partner before I traveled to Asia for a few months without him! All in all, lovely place. Great food with a limited & rotating menu, great service, super cute interior design, jams & food available to go or for purchase, & an always fun afternoon tea session. Smoked salmon appetizer is fantastic. Mix the sweet cream & caramel, sweet cream & lemon curd, & be sure to ask for more! I preferred the peach whisky jam over the new spiced one, but the new triple berry jam is great! I'll be back when I'm back from Asia, & I'll bring my family 🥰

All I can say is I wish I had discovered this little gem years ago. So cozy & such a friendly & generous staff. As for the food, everything was perfect & so fresh. The scones were served hot with their homemade jams, creams & custards. The assortment of petit fours were absolutely delicious. I can't pick a favourite as they were all so yummy & moist. We almost cleaned out the 3-tier plate, but then were ready to burst. I'm definitely going back & you should go too.

We love this place so much we came back to Montreal just to have high tea there. We are visiting from Florida & staying in Vermont. We came to Montreal for the day & had to go back. We came here in 2018 & loved it so much so we had to come back. Crystal & Donna are so nice & helpful. & our server Murphy was very nice as well. The food is excellent & the different types of tea are so delicious! The scones here are to die for too! I love their Almond Cherry tea & their raspberry jam. Everything was so yummy! The atmosphere is very nice & quaint & beautifully decorated. We will definitely be returning if we come back to Montreal again. We hope to see you at your new garden location. Thanks for everything. Take care.

Had Afternoon High Tea at Gryphon d'or. Felt relaxed & enjoyed every minute.
What a selection of tea - I had the Ginger Marmalade which was perfect. The two warm fluffy scones served with jam, cream, marmalade, caramel, butter, & lemon curd were sooo good! Then smoked salmon pinklets, cucumber & egg heart-shaped two-tone sandwiches followed by dessert - lemon squares, short bread cookies, strawberry shortcake in a shot glass, rich chocolate cheesecake .
I will definitely return to this little gem!
