Subtle Tea: Between Lunch and Dinner


We went there to pass time before a dinner reservation for which we were an hour too early (I know!) and left glad to discover this gem of a place. The decor was chic with one wall lined with colourful teapots and mugs and long communal table lined with magazines. It seemed like a place I could sit for hours with a book and cup of one of the 100 teas (you can smell the tea before you order!). The crowd was diverse with members of a knitting club on one side of the table and some college kids scattered on the cushions by the side. Foodie claimed that her hot chocolate was the best she has had ever and the Photographer's cold chaser tea did what it promised, helped to relieve his cold. The pumpkin walnut scone was low on sugar and a perfect accompaniment to our hot drinks. Our total cheque was the three items was $6.
