The different dining areas, the settings..all were so beautiful and you even got to pick your own cup and saucer. Everything was delicious from the kale salad to the mini chocolate cupcake and you could see how much time and care was taken with the preparation. My only suggestion would be instead of a half of a large croissant to have two many croissants which fit more in the scheme of the t-selections. Cream scones melted in your mouth and just fell apart and they have their mix for sale! Clotted cream, lemon curd, raspberry preserve, all were there for the scones. My only suggestion would be instead of a half large croissant, have two mini croissants which fit more in the scheme of the tea selections on the tiered stand. If you haven't, go! You won't be disappointed, and take a bag of the scone mix with you!

There was not a single item on the tea tower that we did not enjoy. It was both beautiful and delicious which often you get one or the other.

My only complaint would be ambiance - it felt more like a fast food restaurant than a sit and enjoy your tea type of place. Potential for so much more. It'd be great if the ambiance matched the food quality.

This is apparently the only tea farm in Canada, so as a tea lover I was very excited to visit! This…read moreplace sells over 100 types of imported teas and has a variety of their own grown teas. Since they just recently started harvesting their own teas, it's still pretty expensive for those Canadian tea options. Like way out of my price range, but maybe cool for some people! The imported teas, however, were very reasonably priced I thought, considering a lot of them are organic or rare, or simply just yummy. We sat outside in the back overlooking the meadow area. We got two bowls of matcha $5/ea, the bite size vegan/GF brownie ($3), and yummy Earl Grey Chocolate Cake ($6). It was all very tasty!!!! We both ended up buying the Izu Matcha tea from Japan-- 30g for $13, and 100g for $36 (great deal, actually!). I would recommend this place for a nice afternoon and good place to buy tea... The only downside is that they don't have a "tasting" option (wineries or breweries usually have a "flight" option to drink small quantities of a few types, but they don't do anything like that here. So to taste multiple you'd have to buy a few full small pots, 2 cups in each pot, each for $5).

Victor and Margit with their amazing staff are phenomenal hosts. Always helpful, attentive and appreciative when we visit. The tea selection is truly amazing with such a wide choice available it could be overwhelming but with their guidance we are always happy with our choices. Their dessert menu offers delightful treats with gluten free options as well. I am partial to the Earl Grey Chocolate Cake...it is so yummy. It is a Zen like experience especially on a lovely day as we sit overlooking a meadow, valley, the tea leaves growing on the hill and the figs and raspberries too. I highly recommend the experience....slow down and enjoy the moment with loved ones at this hidden gem in the valley.

We were surrounded by pieces of antique and porcelains. The food was authentic yet I think the flavour could be better. It was between 3 and 4 stars. We ordered the traditional pies, tea, coffee and hot chocolate (forgot to take a photo of it). The Steak and Guinness Pie had a nice fluffy pastry top and was filled with lots of chunky pieces of steak and potatoes. The steak was well cooked (not chewy). The chicken soup had a good amount of chicken and pasta. You can tell it was not from a can. My friends also enjoyed the London Pub Pie and Ploughman's Lunch. The pies were well baked and hot when they were served. The beverages we ordered were nice, too. I had to say that I liked the aromatic orange grove vanilla herbal tea. The waitress who served us was funny and friendly. The restaurant was busy and she was doing what she could to be attentive. They offer hightea but when we arrived on a Saturday around 2:30pm, it was sold out. Good to know afterwards that you can call in half an hour in advance to reserve it. There was a group celebrating someone's birthday. It's nice to stop by with a group of friends when you are in the area. You can also buy the frozen pies, meat and spices from the menu in their grocery store to take home.

I had heard…read morenegative things about this place compared to other places for tea so I tried to talk her out of going. She said let's give it a try based on a recommendation from a friend. We were all pleasantly surprised. It wasn't so bad although they didn't have cloth napkins, we didn't get a choice of tea, the cups didn't match and there were some cheaper cutlery used, and finally there wasn't really a lot of food and the food was good but not anything remarkable.. I didn't like that the egg salad sandwiches used wonder bread or something of that quality. It could have been made a little more special and I wish there were more savoury items. Nevertheless, when we went, we got a choice of three rooms and it wasn't really busy so it was very nice. Usually your time is for an hour and 15 minutes, but we got to stay as long as we wanted. The staff were all very nice and friendly, which I appreciated and the decor was old-fashioned and the music was from the past so the ambiance was quite lovely. My mother really had a good time there, being her first high tea experience, with the added bonus of being able to spend some time in lovely Fort Langley. I would say it's worth a try.

This is such a treasure to have at YVR! In my opinion, Paragon is among the best tearooms in Metro…read moreVancouver whether you're into matcha or other teas. The airport location is the only Paragon where you can get vegan ice cream by Mister in vanilla or tea flavours, served on its own or in a drink. I've been indulging in the ice cream stuff here but I've tried pretty much all of their teas either at other Paragon locations or at other cafes that serve them. I think all of their teas are great, but I will caution that the stone-ground teas are significantly more potent than their looseleaf counterparts (particularly the jasmine) and if you aren't used to that, it might catch you off-guard. The Mister ice cream is great! The oat milk ice cream is very smooth and the tea flavours are pleasantly strong. You can get a tea float with any choice of tea latte and ice cream. The vanilla ice cream or doubling up on matcha tea/ice cream are the safe choices but I tried the combo of hojicha latte and Thai tea ice cream and that worked really well. The matcha ice cream/genmaicha shot affogato was also delicious. I was kind of worried that the matcha ice cream would cover up the nuance of the genmaicha and it would all just taste like matcha, but I could taste the genmaicha just fine, and if anything, the matcha ice cream enhanced the genmaicha flavour rather than the other way around. The baristas here are very friendly and professional. Every time I've come here they've done a good job preparing the tea. I haven't noticed if the prices here are the same as the other Paragon locations, but they're basically in line with what high-end matcha drinks usually go for in Vancouver.

They hand-craft each drink and you can instantly tell the difference between Paragon's matcha and other matcha places. I chose the matcha coconut refresher with coconut water and it was DELISH!
