Welcome to the Secret Garden Tea Company, Vancouver’s most popular place for High Tea. As one of Vancouver’s oldest tea houses, and having been voted Best Tea House in Vancouver, The Secret Garden has been delighting guests every day for more than 20 years. We look forward to hosting you soon! The values at the core of The Secret Garden Tea Company are timeless: Stay small. Be good at what you do. Maybe that’s why, since its inception in 1995, people come from miles around to our cozy little teahouse. Certainly for the delicious food and soothing tea, but also for feeling that comes from relaxing instead of rushing, and from reflecting on all the sweet little good things of life. Like family. Like friends. And a lovely cup of tea.
“Came here for high tea today. Tea was really good and food looked amazingly pretty. Service was great. Tasted just ok but I really enjoyed the atmosphere. I would come back again.”
“This is a great spot that's decorated (right down to the vintage glassware) to make you feel like you're in a countryside cottage! Food and tea were both delicious, and service was quick and friendly.”
“We really enjoyed our tea service. Our server was very kind and gave us (tourists) local advice on what to see and do. I got the vegetarian and my friend got the gluten free treats and we loved every single one. They also have a vegan option if preferred. Everyone gets their own pot of tea and you get two different choices, so you can share and try several varieties. We liked the ones with the caramel flavor the best, but they were all very good.”
“A lovely way to spend time together and enjoy tasty nibbles. Perfect for a Queen's 80th celebration. But...hard surfaces made for an extremely loud hour. The savoury was delicious little packages packed with flavor! The petites were less than fresh, not as flavorful, dare I say average. Not a single table finished their 'salted caramel mousse' that tasted like burnt sugar (0/5). Still an enjoyable stop overall & will look forward to the spring menu!”
“Made a reservation ahead of time and had the high tea as a party of 6. We were generally disappointed with the food - most baked items (i.e., sandwich bread, pastries) did not seem fresh and all individuals at our table agreed were very dry. Two of the items within the assortment were decent, but would not re-order anything else. In our opinion, not at all worth the $65 per person. Additionally, the service was interesting. Whenever we said “thank you” to our server, she responded with “yeah” which came across as a bit rude. We learned that there is auto-gratuity which was odd. However, the ambiance is cute and we did enjoy our pots of tea - yummy!”
