I love afternoon tea. While you always hear about the high-end Toronto places, which are admittedly…read moreunparalleled by its food and experience, it is also very expensive. So I usually save those for special occasions. But when I'm craving an afternoon tea experience for no reason, then I look up places outside of Toronto. I've been to several now, they are usually more traditional and while not as fancy, also half the price of the locations in downtown Toronto. I saw lots of great reviews for the Escarpment Tea Room online (but not on Yelp). From the pictures I had an idea that this would be a very homey experience. And it is actually located in an old house, next to a legion-like venue. Unassuming, it wasn't too hard to find though. The place is pretty small and a bit crammed with seating for about 20 people. It felt like we were in someone's grandmother's house with British memorabilia and trinkets everywhere. But the owner is very sweet and chatted with us, giving us info on each of her teas which are a mix of bag and lose. To be honest, we found the teas themselves fairly average. What stood out for us was the food. The savory items came out first, followed by sweets. It is traditional and not an overwhelming amount, but almost everything is made in-house, using good quality ingredients including a salmon sandwich which was made with fresh salmon. The desserts were all thoughtful created, freshly made and really delicious as well. I was highly impressed considering the owner seemed to do almost everything herself. The place wasn't full, but I imagine she staggers her reservations so people aren't rushed. I recommend this place for those looking for a nice afternoon tea experience, but aren't as fussy about the tea itself.

Lovely tea experience! If you're thinking of going to the Fairmont or some fancy hotel forget about…read moreit come to Edwina's tea room! Her sandwiches are way better than hotel high teas (my favorite was turkey with mango jelly but also salmon, cucumber, quiche, Brie and jam, egg, etc). Fresh and she will give you refills :). Scones are authentic and yes she has clotted cream! A great assortment of loose leaf teas. All ingredients she uses is organic. Lots of fun hats to pick from. This is very worth the trip from toronto

While strolling through downtown Milton, I came across this bakery claiming to have some of the…read morebest Portuguese tarts--and I couldn't resist stepping in to see if the hype was real. I'm thrilled to report that their pasties de nata are absolutely incredible--some of the best I've had outside of Portugal! The tarts boast a buttery, flaky, and perfectly crisp outer shell, giving way to a soft, creamy custard filling that is simply irresistible. Each bite was a perfect balance of texture and flavour, leaving me craving more. They're truly addictive! If you're in the Milton area, I highly recommend popping in to try these delicious treats. They're a little taste of Portugal right in the heart of downtown Milton--you won't be disappointed.

According to the owner, everything is prepped in house too!

Spectacular Hidden Gem!…read more The Escarpment Tea Room is located in a house in Milton. When you walk into the house, you are transported back in time. The room is elegant, beautifully decorated, and very cozy. Each table has distinct tea cups, and in the corner, you will find a old fashioned crib with a teddy bear inside. With the fireplace, it simply adds to the charm and warmth of the place. As a person who enjoys going to "High Teas" and has been to many, this place is definitely worth the drive. The food is homemade and simply delicious. Not to mention the mouthwatering deserts. The price was very reasonable for all the food we had. I visited this place on my actual birthday, and the attention was fabulous. Thank you for making my birthday day very special. We will definitely be coming back!!! Two additional things I would like to add are: 1. As I mentioned above, the price was very reasonable, but I would charge more because the attention to the detail in the overall food merits it!!! 2. I understand that sometimes things can happen, and we may not be able to make a reservation we have, but please always be mindful and respectful to the owners because, at the end of the day they are out the money and the food goes to waste!!!

The space is a bit older and dated looking, but it is cozy and warm. I finally had the chance to try it out for breakfast recently. Staff are very patient and friendly -- there were the 2 owners and 2 other staff. So all the customers were well taken care of. The restaurant was packed. It's small only a few tables. My friend and I grabbed a seat at the high top table. Their menu was larger than expected for a cafe! Quite a lot of options for sandwiches. We both tried the Breakfast Sandwich -- it's a croissant panini-grilled with 2 poached eggs, cheese, hash brown and choice of bacon or sausage. It was satisfying without being too greasy or oily. I had a regular drip coffee with cream. It was ok! They do have a small coffee menu. Not alternative dairy. Lastly, we tried the Borsch soup! When we learned the owners were Polish, we knew that we had to try the Polish items on the menu. The Borscht was light and fragrant. Loved it so much, we bought a container from their to-go fridge! Will definitely return to try the pirogies and other items too.
