Lovejoy's Tea Room

“Came here for afternoon tea~ it’s my first time here and we came to celebrate Women’s day (March 8th). I love the cute little smoke salmon sandwiches, the fruits on top are fresh and sweet, the pastries on the second level were okey and slightly to sweet for my taste. Overall, I had a great experience here. All of the waitresses were very kind & helpful. They took the time to answer our questions~”

“I ordered lovejoy’s for a work catered event and it was amazing! Celine and her team are so helpful, friendly and the food is delicious. We got a selection of sandwiches, quiches, Shepards pie, scones, sausage rolls. All so good. And the bread was fresh! Thank you Celine”

“Had a wonderful time with my son. Delicious finger sandwiches and the scone was spot on. Magda was attentive and friendly 😊It is best to make reservations if you want to sit inside but the Parklet is just as fine as well since we did not have a reservation. It was cozy and nice. We were not forgotten out there. Would come here again👍👍👍👍👍 prices vary depending what you want expect to pay $20-40 per person”

“I had the pleasure of the Queen’s Tea recently with my friend to celebrate our birthdays. What an absolute delight! We went to the Attic across the street to explore the tea selections and various lovely things before and after tea. The Attic is a must and the lovely person at the counter (I’m so sorry I didn’t ask your name!) made the experience even better. One of the highlights of the tea room is the bookcase filled with fancy hats. Pick one to wear while you experience High Tea! The food is delicious and scones have their own story. This is a must do for locals and visitors alike.”

“I don't even know where to begin to write how disappointed I am in the service I received yesterday from LoveJoy Tea Room. I reached out to have LoveJoy Tearoom cater my company's International Women's Day Luncheon because my predecessors used her services the year before. Unfortunately, I could not speak with them or get any reviews on how well the service was, I just remember how beautiful it looked in passing. Well, I'll never let a beautiful aesthetic allow me to make that mistake again. I requested a full high tea service with tea, dishes, sandwiches, etc. She let me know that she was able to cater for my event. I asked that she give me an itemized payment receipt and her version of an itemized receipt was typing out each individual thing she was bringing and how much it would cost in total on a word document. It is very hard to get that through compliance at my company. I should have known then, I was in trouble. When she arrived, she complained about finding the parking as if we didn't validate her for parking in our building. Once she got up to the floor she came in and set up the tea which took about 15-20 minutes total. I signed her payment receipt, tipped her and as an avid high tea patron I asked her how long each tea, she brought needed to seep, ALL FOR HER TO TELL ME SHE DOESN'T SUPPLY THE TEA!!!!!!! Excuse me? Why would we cater from a Tearoom that didn't supply tea? The gag was, she provided us with sugar cubes but no tea. Further, she completed the 'ready for use' set up all for us to notice the cups were dirty. - to the point when washing the cups in our sink, a large spider jumped out of one of them. We wasted 15 tea bags that I am extremely happy we had in our office already because we also notice, only after putting the bags in the pots, that they were dirty as well. We had to wash the entire rental within 20 minutes before the event began. Another thing that really bothered me was there were no sandwich description tints letting people know what was in the sandwiches as a food allergy precaution. Not only that, but I’m also more than sure she didn't bring all the sandwich options I requested. She also charged me $40 for checkerboard cookies (although the invoice says "tea biscuits") that she picked up from Sprouts for $5.99 per box. There were no petit fours, no cream for the "tea biscuits" etc. This whole experience was a disappointment, and I truly feel ripped off as I paid $919.00 + tip for what I thought was going to be a High Tea experience and ended up being a horrible catering experience. I'll never work with her again and I suggest you don't either.”
