I was disappointed in the cookie though; although they were quite big, and chocolate chip, I don't like the white sugar taste in it. It's a crispy cookie, not a chewy one. Feel like this is a standard diner. Just went here because it was really hot outside and I wanted something cold and sweet.

Conversations are typically ripe for eavesdropping, with juicy tidbits around plotted strikes and sex fantasies. Moreover, there is the famed "dessert on a stick" offered, and the baristas won't even laugh at you if you request it as such. Word of caution: that venti crème brûlée latte? 500 calories, my friend. Obesity is not becoming.

My friend and I got the Rose Garden tower and my daughter got the Peony (kid) tower. My daughter got a lemonade with her tower and it was very cute. She loved the food and the tea set. The scones with the clotted cream and jam was really good. Soft on the inside and has a nice crust to it. The other selections were great and the brownies were rich. The service was great and staffs were attentive!

You need to pay for admission into the garden though, even if you have reservations at the tea house. It's off season right now, as we booked to go when Bloomland In Oz (floral showcase) was already finishing up. The Turner Pavilion was easy to walk to - there is a pathway and tunnel you across through the garden. The tea house is absolutely gorgeous. It's a beautiful space with lots of sunlight. My friend and I ordered the Rose Garden Tower set and chose two different Sloan teas to try. Everything was perfectly divided, delicious and filling. I highly recommend this tea house! It would be beautiful in the summertime when everything is fully in bloom.

We came here specifically for dessert and I'm so glad we did. The dessert menu wasn't terribly…read moreextensive but did offer a variety of options. There is also a bubble tea menu which I hope to explore the next time I'm up this way. We ordered "a brownie thing" on a signature buttermilk waffle with vanilla ice cream. (They also offer green tea and charcoal ice cream flavors). As you can see in the photo, the waffle was a decent size and was enough to share (if that's what you so choose to do). The customer service was pretty good, the aroma of the fresh waffles was amazing and the interior was stylish and welcoming. I highly recommend!

I haven't been back to Hazel Tea since I've moved out to Toronto but my boyfriend really wanted to…read morego back to try their waffles. Walking in Saturday night it was really quiet. There were maybe 2-3 other tables that were taken. It does seem like a really nice place to study. The place is clean, with soft lighting, and lots of outlets! We ordered a Belgian waffle, with soft serve ice cream, & the mango cheesecake as topping. The total came to $15 which was a little surprising. The food took a little longer than expected. But it came out looking great. The swirl was sesame & vanilla which had hints of both flavors; subtle and not too sweet but it was a little icey rather than creamy. The waffle was fluffy. I did not like the mango or the cheesecake as they tasted somewhat stale. Overall, I think for $15 it was pricey and I would prefer heading to Toronto for a egg waffle for $3 instead.

Even though this is primarily a coffee bar, I am firmly in my matcha era right now, so that's what I went for. It was pretty decent, and I really liked that they use ceremonial grade matcha. I added vanilla syrup to mine for a little extra flavor which was a nice touch. I don't want to rate the place unfairly since I didn't actually try their coffee this time around, but based on the vibe, I would definitely go back to try a latte next time.

The atmosphere is very quaint, as expected from Dundas. The furniture and decor all give off a peaceful vibe that I enjoy very much. Having the Chili con Amore and its delicious. I have a low spice tolerance so I'm glad I ordered a cup of jasmine green tea along with it. There's only one staff member on duty at the moment, but its not a super busy place. She's extremely polite and gives a reflection of great service. Overall, I highly recommend this easy to miss place. Its not very large, so I suggest to go either alone or with one other.

If you like specialty coffees, you are in for a treat since they have a fun option for a mini coffee flight! They also have a kids menu!

Entry is a single door with a ramp on the inside. Servers were quick to seat my friend and I. Service was polite and timely. We both ordered our own "Teenage Feast" which included Two eggs prepared to your taste, thick cut bacon, sausage, choice of toast, served with dutch mini pancakes, butter parsley home fries / salad or half & half. I opted for scrambled eggs, home fries, and rye (they also had sourdough as an option!) The meal was very filling, could definitely be shared between two peckish people or saved as left overs for later. Meal has a blend of sweet and savoury, leaning more on the sweet side. The sausage is sweeter than others (I enjoy this but I know it's not for everyone. The Dutch pancakes are so cute and little, coated in icing sugar, and served with maple syrup on the side to dip. For drinks I ordered the Maple Foam Cold Brew. Make sure to stir/not put your straw at the bottom of the drink or you'll get a hit of maple! Once it's stirred it tastes great. I'll definitely be back to try more of the menu (I'm eyeing the coffee flights)!
