Worth the drive
Charming decor of many teapots. Lots of tea choices served by traditionally clad servers. Food is good, fresh except for the imports of English tasties. Owners are knowledgeable, fun and welcoming.

Authentic, Delicious and Delightful Afternoon Tea
May 09, 2014I always have the most wonderful experience here. Excellent food and the most friendly and attentive staff. Afternoon tea is my favorite, love the selection of teas and sandwiches, then finishing with the most delicious scones and pastries is the best part for me. I've been coming here for over 35 years and the food and service is always great.... more

Most authentic Afternoon Tea experience ever
February 15, 2014Had such a wonderful time we decided to go again a few days later. Lovely, fresh sandwiches with amazing fillings. Gorgeous desserts and the scones were incredibly fresh, served warm with an assortment of jams and REAL clotted cream. Attentive, welcoming service. We were also able to linger over our tea without feeling at all rushed.

Brutal service
December 18, 2013We decided to lunch there today and called to make reservations. The voicemail said to leave details of reservation times. We got there at our 1pm time slot and saw a table set for six, which is what ours was. Well, we waited 15 minutes before being even acknowledged (there were two people serving one gentleman up front). And then... more

Christmas Afternoon Tea. Lovely
December 18, 2013Took my Mom for Christmas afternoon tea. It was lovely & our server was the nicest man ever!! More than enough food for 2 people. We had to ask for takeaways to bring home the leftovers. I would highly recommend this place. My Mom wants to bring my grandmother for Mother's Day.

A wonderful experience you should try
November 07, 2013Old fashioned service and delightful tea are still around if you know where to look. The old curiosity tea shop is like stepping back in time, in the best possible way. Men might feel a little out of place in this quaint shop but then again they have sports bars. The tea is wonderful and the sandwiches are also good... more

Fabulous...Just Fabulous
October 28, 2013
My boyfriend and I came here for afternoon tea for two on a Saturday afternoon. Everything was satisfactory from start to finish. The tea menu had 80 different types of tea. Picking just two was a challenge. The food was very yummy and the desserts were tasty.
The Royal Albert cups and plates so beautiful.
Will definitely come back again!

A British Gem in the heart of Markham
August 30, 2013This cozy little tea shop is just a delight. They offer a vast selection of loose teas with interesting names such as Lover's Leap and Buckingham Palace Garden Party. Tea is served in beautiful china cups and comes with a strong recommendation to allow it to infuse for 5-6 minutes. If you are a tea purist, you are given the... more

Bridal Shower
June 10, 2013Recently I hosted my daughter's bridal shower at the Old Curiosity Tea shop. We had a private event on Sunday a closed day for the tea shop. They could not have been more co operative.. The venue was quaint and the location was ideal. Enjoyed by all 30 guests. Delightful.

Tea Tasting is always a Treat
November 25, 2012There is a wonderful variety of teas served in fine china at quaint tables surrounded by a collection of teapots and related art. The scones are always delicious. Tea Tasting Night was informative and a lot of fun.

Wish my bf would take me back
November 22, 2012My bf first took me there for our first month anniversary - I felt like one of those barbie dolls having a tea party. It was a lovely little tea shop, very cozy and peaceful. Pretty pricey though but worth it - lots of different teas to choose from.

English Afternoon Tea Revisited
October 10, 2012The Old Curiosity Tea Shop is on Main Street Markham. It is charming and quanit. The tea selection is extensive and the savory and sweet menus are decent. A bit pricey for what you get.

Great service, great food and tea, cozy environment
September 19, 2012I had an absolutely wonderful experience here with my friends. It was our first time coming to one of these tea places and we left satisfied and happy. They have choices that are more affordable (ex. a la carte items, tea sets of different prices) and this allows for more flexibility so you can tailor what you order to how... more

If you love tea and you're looking for that nostalgic English experience, this is the place to go. I have become a regular customer here and I plan to remain one for many years to come.
