After Queen Tea Shop

Very nice atmosphere and service. Worth at least one visit!

Great tea room with quality service.
You always get more than what you pay for here, the owner is very friendly and the service is top notch. Classy interior, classical music and white table cloth service at Starbucks prices, what more could you ask for.

I liked this tea shop. We went for afternoon tea with friends. The high tea aficionado in the group declared it to be in the top 5 of all her tea shop visits.
It is located in Thornhill, a great place to have a tea shop. It’s in a plaza with longos and a Starbucks. Well not really a plaza, there’s a little inside mall with even a small food court. The tea shop is inside there. The entrance is below a green tea shop sign. There’s lots of free parking.
The tea shop entrance is really cute. There’s actually some seating just at the entrance.
When you walk in, in small. There’s a Toronto themed stain glass on one wall, and a giant mirror on the other. There’s a delicate pick rose wallpaper on the wall. OK. It looks just like you want a tea house to look! Old fashioned things all over the like a piano, cash resister, globes, fireplace. Really nice.
I picked a black tea called Patisserie. Loved it. It tasted sweet and nutty and slightly spicy. It tasted and smelled terrific.
It comes with all the usual, sandwiches, scones, and sweets. The sandwiches I loved. Cucumber and cream cheese, smoked salmon on a round bread (shaped like a flower– cute), egg salad, and chicken salad.
The sandwiches were made on the freshest soft, pillowy, bread, like it was made that day. Loved it.
Scones were buttery and warm from the oven. We got two each. A lemon flavoured and cranberry one. They were served with clotted cream and a wonderful peach preserve. I think you can buy the peach at the cash.
The only problem I had was with the treats. Each tray was meant for two people. The sandwiches, and the scones were all doubled, even amounts for every one. The treats were not. There were four individual treats (other places give 4×2). Which meant you didn’t get to try everything.
All on all it was really good. A bit pricy but not ridiculous. I will be back as a once in a while treat. Seriously check it out, you’ll like it.

Came to After Queen with my friend for a really girly afternoon tea session.
We both love afternoon tea so we decided to check this place out. The décor is so cute and detailed! Everything in the shop is tea/​British themed — even down to the nightlight on a random plug haha. It’s cute.
We ordered the HIGH TEA set:
* Scones with Devon cream & jam
* Sandwiches (cucumber, smoked salmon, apple)
* Quiches with mixed green salad
* Desserts
We called in advance to book for high tea — they make the quiches in advance, so it is recommended that you book beforehand. It was very filling but everything was delish! The service was excellent — they checked on us in good intervals.
I’ll revisit again :)

Great, super friendly service and cute atmosphere.
This is a British tea shop run by hospitable Chinese folk. The place is covered in British décor right down to the wallpaper. There is a strong attention to detail and they seek to ensure you have a pleasurable experience at their tea shop.
This shop is the inside of a small barely frequented mall. There is seating indoors and also outside in the mall area.
My mom and I came here without a reservation. We waited at the reception for about over 10 minutes. No one came out from the kitchen. Eventually we knocked at the door and they were extremely apologetic so we appreciated that. If this happens to you, just knock at their kitchen door.
There is limited seating so you are better off making a reservation. Also that gives them time to prepare the food for your arrival. The scones are fresh and the desserts are cute. The sandwhiches are typical finger sandwhiches such as cucumber sandwich, smoked salmon n cream cheese, and egg sandwhich. We don’t eat meat so they gave us extra smoked salmon sandwhiches.
The staff was very attentive and even offered to take pics for us. The presentation of the meal is beautifully done and the tea selection is plentiful.
ALERT!!! The afternoon and high tea prices are per person, so you’re looking at $ 60 total for two people with tax. You can order other things instead like crepes or eggs etc.
I recommend this shop.

Went to AQTS with best friend on a weekday. Very nice Victorian décor.
For $ 38, you will have four different finger sandwiches: smoked salmon, cucumber, egg salad & chicken cranberry. Two scones with Devonshire cream & jam. Petit four sweets. One made to order daily quiche and green salad. One loose tea from 25+ selections offered.
Sandwich bread came from bakery at same plaza. Fresh made daily.
Scones are ok to me, a bit dry. I had tried better scones at Blue Willow Tea Shop Muskoka.
For me personally, #1 scone in Ontario is Blue Willow Tea Shop. #2 is Windsor Arms. #3 is After Queen.
Service is pretty attentive.
Reservation IS highly recommended. All tables were occupied when left.
Have a happy afternoon tea!
It also offers crepes. Price ranges from $ 10-​$ 15.

The décor in this tiny teashop is very nice, as if you have just stepped into Victorian era. The food was amazing, namely the high tea set. For high tea, the portion is quite big, our order also came with a quiche and salad for each, which was too much food for two girls. Fairly a good amount of tea selection, and the waiter was quite cute too. Overall it was a pleasant experience. Having tried the high tea in Windsor Arms, this is a good alternative in uptown. We will come again!
