A couple of weeks ago, I stopped by Hy Tea in Pickering. The city’s small tea shop and restaurant is located off Liverpool Road, on Frenchman’s Bay at 1295 Wharf Street. It’s owned and operated by Hy Niles – an extremely personable and kind hearted woman, who served us while we were there for an afternoon of treats and tea.
Now, my friend Lori and I stopped by the tea house for our first time ever, during the off season. But I can tell you, I’ve seen the establishment packed throughout the summer months – so it’s best to enjoy it while the weather is still a bit chilly for a perfect relaxing atmosphere!
If you’re a tea enthusiast, like me, you may always be looking for new and exciting places to visit. Hy Tea in Pickering charges just under $24 dollars for a high-tea experience, and includes a warm scone, whipped butter, tasty deserts, fruits, sweet Devon cream, delicious jam and delicate finger sandwiches. Although, they do suggest a reservation first.
Love your pictures! Sounds like it would be a wonderful experience for a tea lover! By the sound of your article your afternoon was brilliant! Lovely discovery.=)
It was a nice place, but it would suggest going there in the summer months.
What amazing pictures. I haven’t had proper afternoon tea for far too long – scones and cream sound idyllic.
Have a lovely Sunday.

Thanks for stopping by RJ. I am actually drinking tea right now as I respond. Ha! I guess I am a bit of a tea-aholic. 😛

Thanks! The food was okay, we should have bought something more homemade … But the tea was much better. 🙂
