Great & friendly service! Thanks for the scone. Will be back for sure.View more
A hidden gem in the NDG area with everything homemade in-house with a large variety of tea to choose from. Their scone & short bread is really good indeed. Remember to call for reservations in advance.View more
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! ♥️View more
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 againView more
Visited this cozy little nook of a tea room with a couple of friends. I had called ahead to request gluten-free options for a member of our group which they were able to accommodate without any issues (she had her own personal tiered tray of GF options!). The service we received was impeccable & the staff are sweet, friendly, welcoming & hilarious : ) Personal tea faves are the Winter Spice & mint. Scones (with clotted cream) are truly delicious.View more
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.View more
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 🥰View more
We reserved the tea room as a large group of ~20 people, & we were blown away with the service, quality & ambience. Firstly, we really appreciated the cozy, laid-back atmosphere. The food was delicious & filling, many of us had to bring home leftovers as we were too stuffed. The quality of the food was great too, the standouts being the freshly baked scones, phyllo cups & the mini-cheesecakes. Above all, the service was excellent. The waitstaff were lovely, congenial & attentive. For many of us, this was our first experience having afternoon tea, & I can confidently say that the Gryphon D'Or set the bar high! Would definitely go back in the future & highly recommend.View more
It's a cozy neighborhood tea room. You can experience the English tea culture here. Cash or e-transfer only.View more
If you go once, you will go back for sure. Wonderful atmosphere, great tea, & food & the most kind hosts. My favourite place to drink tea & spend a relaxing hour.View more
Lovely lowkey place, an absolute treasure for the neighborhood. Everything is delicious & homemade. You have to try the scones!View more
One of my favorite breakfast spots in the city. You must make a reservation because its tiny & usually booked on the weekends. The food is so good, they have great teas, & their high tea is a really nice treat for a special occasion. If youre going for brunch, I highly recommend the half & half (half eggs benedict, half french toast) - I always get the lemon curd & berries french toast because it is delicious. Also the staff are all super nice. They gave us some scones to go at the end of our brunch because they felt bad about another reservation needing out table, it was so kind (& delicious!). I could really gush about this place but its really such a gem of a restaurant.View more
My friend & I came for lunch on a weekday & loved our sconewitches (pictured) with a side of salad & soup all made fresh & in-house. There were options for both meat eaters & vegetarians, but less so for vegans, as many ingredients contained dairy. For dessert, we had bite-sized shortbread cookies, butter tarts, & carrot cake - all incredibly delicious. Our meal also came with a pot of tea which we were allowed to sample & switch, should we have felt inclined to. Thank you for the wonderful experience, we certainly plan on returning ! Note: They only accept Cash or Interac E-transfer & reservations are required as there is very limited seating.View more
We came here for the afternoon tea today for my friend's birthday. The service was really wonderful & the cafe is really cozy. I don't understand the few snobby reviews of the afternoon tea service. I wasn't expecting a super high end hotel tea service (though it was my first time having an afternoon tea anywhere), & that was kind of the point. It was really good value for the amount of food we received while still being accessible for our budget. On to the food...the highlights for me were the scones & the desserts. Every bite was phenomenal & we loved the assortment of different toppings for the scones. The brownies were amazing. The sandwiches & salmon & veggie cups were great too. I enjoyed every bite of food I had. They did forget to write a little happy birthday for our friend, but we were enjoying ourselves so much we didn't even notice. The waiter very cleverly asked us which scone toppings we preferred under the guise of curiosity, but they apologized for forgetting the birthday & sent each of us home with an extra scone & cookie & our respective favorite topping. Totally unexpected & unnecessary, but we really appreciated it a lot. I can't wait to come back for a date with my boyfriend (who really enjoyed the food I brought home). Thank you for a really lovely afternoon! My only suggestion would be to list the hours of the tea service online - it would have been useful to have this information beforehand.View more
Just perfect! Scones délicieux, service impeccable, grande générosité du personnel, atmosphère sympathique.View more
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.View more
