The atmosphere is the only star given. Service is so so on a raining day. The food lost all three stars. Especially the scone just tasted store brought and flour like. Not at all traditional scones should be. Disappointed!!! Then moving on to a chocolate mint cake. Excuse me? Yes that's right a chocolate mint cake in hight tea! Chocolate cake is tasteless and doughy in texture. The pastries are... more

Although my rating is based on just the one experience I had getting a tea and cupcake to go, I thought it was still worth sharing. I really like the concept and I was drawn in purely based on this place looking quite unique and I had never noticed it before. It is hard to rate tea when it is in a to go cup so I wont focus on that. I bought a red velvet cupcake with my tea which apparently is a... more

Very few times in life you have the opportunity to enjoy a cup of tea as it should. This lovely place is wonderful. you must take your time to enjoy your tea and the sweets they have available.

Very classy, lovely tea pots, tea cups and overall adorable decoration.

Good service, quiet and nice place, ambiance is just perfect with the music and decoration. Cozy feeling and lots of choices of... more

We booked a table of 8-10 for a baby shower. They asked for a $100 deposit and we obliged. They called to confirm the numbers the day before and we told them we still weren't positive so it was still 8-10. They said they would keep the booking for 10 people. They did NOT tell us that meant we had to pay for 10 people. Instead they argued and yelled at us for not brining 2 extra people when we... more

Unprofessional service and policies. Owners are unreasonable and unfit to be running a restaurant in Vancouver. If you are looking to plan a special group event and don't want to run the risk of ruining it, I suggest you look elsewhere.

Interior looks amazing. I came on an incredibly rainy and windy day (classic Vancouver) but the inside felt like a completely different world.

The two staff members were both very friendly and knowledgeable.

I had the afternoon tea set for $25, and selected the Creamy Earl Grey. Some other reviews may mention the additional $1.25 charged for selecting from the "Finest" tea selection, but that... more

This amazing tea house will remind you of pure vintage from the late 1800. Great selection of teas and the high tea is fresh and delicious. You can sit back and relax in the comfy chairs and spend hours chatting away....... A must try for everyone.

Wow! Love this place. The tea was brilliant for starters. Home blended by the lovely family that owns and runs this little treasure of a tea room. My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed the Afternoon Tea. Everything was fresh and home made. It's totally worth the price. La Petite Cuillere is a island of sanity in a busy world.

I've only been here twice and I do really love the decor most of all, it's very cosy and quiet inside. I have to say playing the Amelie soundtrack non stop can get a bit tiring and the over zealous service feels like it's trying too hard (the waiter came to check my "water levels" for tea three times in one half hour time span) The dessert is nothing amazing. I had key lime cheesecake and felt... more

We are visiting gorgeous Vancouver and we were in the neighborhood on a rainy day. What would be perfect? A nice hot cup of tea! Instead we got tepid tea, hot chocolate that was made from a packet mix. Their scones were delicious, but portions were tiny- like a teaspoon of clotted cream for two scones. Oh and I was charged extra for my milk to be heated up for my tea. What?? Maybe because we... more

This place was AMAZING for tea, and the lady who served my friend and I just the most polite and friendly person you can possibly imagine. What a fantastic experience. In particular, there was a vanilla cake with rose icing that was to die for - I've never had anything like it. I also had a mango green tea which was quite nice - there were lots of different teas to choose from, it was hard to... more

I came here for a bridal shower one weekend. It was a larger party so we took up the bulk of the tables. The restaurant is small with a long narrow layout, so that meant we took up probably 75% of the available dining space. Atmosphere was very cutesy, with vintage plates and tea sets everywhere. Very Alice in Wonderland..the decor very suitable for a tea party. We didn't have a choice in the... more

I would give this place a 5 star just for the atmosphere, decor and services but the food is where they lost that 1 star in my perspective.
I was here with a group of friends on a monday during lunch time and we all ordered their afternoon tea because it had a bigger portion (we were with guys who can eat). We each had our own stack of goodies.This was a 3 tier kind of presentation where each... more

Beautifully decorated, with a warm and friendly staff. It was Amazing. So happy we visited.

A friend recommended tea at the Empress hotel while I was in Vancouver. I'm a cheapskate, and this place has nice options for lower cost teas: the "high tea" option is only $15.50

I came in on a weekday afternoon without a reservation and there was plenty of seating. They were also able to make me a vegetarian tea without any notice. Hurrah!

The sandwiches were a bit uninteresting, but I was... more

Exceptional staff who were friendly and went above and beyond for high tea. I went with a group of girls late 2014. At first when the food came out, I was unsure if I would be full at the end, however I was pleasantly surprised as it was more than enough and felt full afterwards. The staff kept coming around to check on our tea pots which was great even though the place was full. The ambience... more

My mother and I visited La Petite Cuillere as a part of her birthday celebrations. We had a lovely time! We each ordered the high tea.

The high tea included a pot of premium tea (about two cups of tea per pot), two mini savory items, two mini sweet items, a mini cranberry scone, devonshire cream and fruit preserves. Our two savory items were a tuna salad tart and a cucumber and sharp cheddar... more

I love coming here and bringing my friends. This family-owned establishment has friendly staff, a delicious menu that is always surprising, and a cozy + elegant atmosphere. I drive down here whenever I want a relaxing afternoon tea with a cup of my fan-favourite "darling darjeeling".

Excellent service, great prices and cute decor. They have individual tea pots and tiered trays for each member of your party. I thought this was super nice as even pricy places like urban tea merchant don't have individual trays. The tea selection is great. The actual treats and sandwiches are average at best, but the experience is well worth it!

the high tea and atmosphere of this place is great! the people who work here are so friendly as well. brought my mom here and she's usually not a fan of trying new things but she had a great time

It was my first time visiting this place today. I love that there is free parking nearby! I came in with my girlfriends and we sat down as a group of five in a corner by the window. We had booked for a Sunday afternoon and when I arrived the place was busy but not packed.

The decor is quaint. I felt like I was sitting down to have tea with Alice in Wonderland's Mad Hatter. It doesn't feel too... more

Food was mediocre and meager in portion size. The sweet items were overwhelmingly sugary. The scones were dry. Teas were flavourless. Service was... Quirky.

There are way better high tea places in the city

Um, this place is adorable. It's like my grandmother's living room would be, if my grandmother were a doddy old woman from England. (She's not; she's a pint-sized redheaded woman who loves coffee and sequins and would not be comfortable in this place.)

It's so quiet and calm in here and the service is always so earnest and sweet. Plus, the tea is really good, and they have vegan and... more

Inside looks like a cross between your grandmother's house and your resident hoarder. The main floor looks decent, though the 'upstairs' looked like a bad mismatch of things I would be scared that would fall on me in the event of an earthquake.

The food was decent though a bit underseasoned. The person who served us seemed like she's always apologizing for something, though there was nothing... more

As an English woman in Canada sometimes I crave dainty, doily filled tea dates. I'd been dying to try this place for ages and the stars finally aligned; I stopped in for a speedy hangout and found myself instantly calmed, amused, and on my best behaviour! It's the epitome of the fanciest of tea rooms in England, all large, cosy seating and adorably thoughtful bits and pieces strewn around... more

This place is fantastic!

Last Sunday I met a friend here for their High Tea and we were both so pleased with La Petit Cuillère. I selected their black tea with blossoms, which was amazing, and the tiered tray of treats that accompanied it was delicious. There was a small panini, a cucumber finger sandwich, a delicious mini-scone and for sweets a small piece of cheesecake and the tastiest... more

Just amazed with this place!!! Time to upgrade to ***** stars!!

My third time here and wow just wow!
I recommended this place for my girlfriends wedding shower. With 17 ladies is was pretty cozy but still accommodated us and very grateful. 10-15 would have been a perfect number. Highly recommend this place for high tea with friends or a small gathering, and make reservation!

Im always afraid... more

I came here with a friend for lunch yesterday and loved it! We had the green chai tea which was so delicious, and I had the corn and veggie wrap with a pumpkin soup. I was surprised with how fresh and tasty the wrap was. There was corn, asparagus, mushroom, zucchini and I can't remember what else, but the veggies were just so flavourful. The soup was nice as well, could have used a bit of salt,... more

During a tea-tasting session as part of a mini Yelp Elite event we had the privilege of sampling a portfolio of assiduously blended tea and thoughtful pastries. The tea extraordinaire Huey poured Mango Green Tea, Earl Grey Cream, and Coconut Rooibos Chai and my favorite among them was the Coconut Rooibos Chai because I can't think of anywhere else that has this special blend that does not have... more

I really love this place for the feel like I'm going to someone's house and I get delicious teas and food. The waitress is very friendly and cheery, and makes the experience so wonderful. I love the cream earl grey and coconut roobois chai. They could use a little more tables, however, this place is so comfortable and reliable, it's a go-to place for high tea.

Being from England I'm rather critical on places like this.
However I was pleasantly pleased. The decor was quaint. Loved all the authentic teapots and china wear. The tea was great although the milk had turned so had to ask for new. The tea itself was great, however a true English tea is all about the scone, clotted cream and jam. I would of preferred a larger scone and less other cakes.
I... more

Been here twice, and will be back for thirds, fourths.......
Amazing staff. I've had both a young lady and a young gentleman serve me before, and they are both so good at what they do. Very concerned about if we have allergies and so so SO polite! Came once for a full tea service with a awesome selection of assorted baked goods and sandwiches. I'm completely addicted to the lychee black tea,... more

As soon as you walk through the door, it feels like you've stepped into your English Aunt Josephine's dining room in Charlottetown for a spot of tea in the afternoon. If ambiance is what you're after, you've found it.

My server Lina is always attentive, knowledgeable, super friendly, and super duper cute! (Yes, DUPER!) She's seriously the best thing about this already wonderful place.

This... more

Few places inspire me to have a complete psychological meltdown as this doily drenched high-tea grandma paradise.

There's numerous uptight china cabinets which need overturning and around six or seven stuffy multiple linen covered tables which need flipping over.

I mentioned the doilies. The rage-inducing culprits are everywhere, as are the tea cosies. It's packed neutron star dense with... more

The service was very good. Staff were attentive and friendly, and provided information on the high tea, as well as giving detailed descriptions of the tea flavours.

I did find that there weren't enough savory items and was "sugared out" about 3/4 of the way through.

Leave a bit of extra time to find parking.

The service was amazing. The staff is so cute and friendly. I went there for a social event and it is the perfect place for that. Its cute and small and intimate. We were able to communicate comfortable with little to no background music. I had the mango tea and it was delicious, along with the high tea special. I really enjoyed the classic cucumber sandwich. The high tea special is the perfect... more

While i've walked and driven past this tea house many times, i only just checked the menu for the first time last week. Finding High Tea menus, I called on a friend and today we went out for tea/lunch.

this place is quite lovely - beautifully set tables with real table cloths and old fashioned china tea cups and saucers. there are also cabinets of all kinds of china tea cups that are available... more

This place is super cute, unlike other tea places, it's not super busy so i felt comfortable sitting down for more than one hour for our afternoon tea. The server was really nice, explained everything in the afternoon tea set and refilled water for our teas.

i would give 2.5 star for the food, the desserts felt like some nicely cut up pieces from urban fare. Out of the whole afternoon tea set,... more

Cozy. Quaint. English high-tea.
If you haven't had a chance to visit places like some countryside home in England. If you feel like enjoying some warm homemade scone (with a dash of homemade Devonshire cream n strawberry jam of course). If you feel like having a pot of rare high end tea. .. if you feel like being transported to someone's cozy home with quaint deco. Then come here!
The girl who... more

Afternoon tea features OK food, but also at an OK price lower than many afternoon tea places. This bouyed up to four stars by the beautiful space and adorable, cozy ambiance. Instead of hoity-toity refined and elegant, the feel is more like feminine (versus girly) and homey. Look up to see a flotilla of model ships. Don't miss the super-cute cat-in-an-apron teapot.
Watch out for the fruit tart.... more

Adorable, or most adorable?

Answering that question is the dilemma you have after checking this place out.

My cousin and I chanced upon La Petite Cuillère on our day trip up to Vancouver -- we had been attempting to get macarons from French Made Baking down the block but were too late -- on our way back we wandered into this tea shop and were not disappointed!

From our server (who is awkward... more

They have a good service and nice parking lot! Also delicious afternoon tea! I have a great day there!

Good price! We chose the high tea menu. $14 each person. $3 for adding two more scones. I like warm scones but those were cold otherwise I would give 5 stars for sure. jasmine pure with cheese cake, what a combination .

The ambiance of La Petite Cuillère is fine, actually, very lovely. The food, on the other hand, wasn't the best. My girlfriends and I have had a lot of high tea in Vancouver, and we all agree that the food was only ok. The scone I got was more like a small piece of dry biscuit. The tuna tart had really chunky onion bits. The bread-to-filling ratio for the sandwich triangles wasn't right - too... more

La Petite Cuillère is an absolutely lovely place. This tea house has a very tranquil atmosphere that allows you to have a great time with whoever you're taking there. It is impossible not to be pleased here.
Their teas are delicious, and the High and Afternoon tea were great, with very tasty servings. The service is as sweet as this whole place.

The service here is attentive, but not intrusive. Both times I've visited were on weekdays so we were fine without reservations. It's lovely and quiet and is a good place to catch up with a few friends! They have a larger table in the back that seats about 8 so it seems as if they can accommodate a larger group.

Their tea selection is lovely, I went for one of their premium oolongs which was... more

If you are looking for a place with afternoon tea the British way and wi fi. Ta da!

Huey, one of the ladies running this place really knows her tea (gosh I hope I spelt her name right). Orange Pekoe is a lie? Dustings? Fannings? She's more insightful than a wikipedia page. Which is helpful not only for the tea lover in me, but to the most recent tea related project I'm working on.

I... more

I would never, ever have high tea anywhere else any more. I was initially a bit curmudgeonly about going here, for the totally irrational reason that I'd been a big fan of the cafe that'd previously occupied this location - so I'll admit I was unfairly coming in primed to dislike them (I'm a terrible person).
I was completely, Completely blown away.
We each had afternoon tea, which is... more

Wow. I am crushing on this place so hard right now after a wonderful date last evening. I had such a great time getting to know about the wild world of tea from Huey. Tasting 4 delicious drinks (my fave, without a doubt was the apple pie which I purchased so I can now enjoy at home), and some amazing homemade baked goods (omg - try the mini scones with strawberry jam and devon cream.)

Could... more
