T-buds, Food Tea Lounge In Toronto

This place has gone downhill in service and quality. I am so disappointed. I saw a Workperks and Groupon offer so I tried to give him a chance again. They refused to honour the offer! I tried to straighten it out with them and Workperks and they just plain refused. So disappointing because I used to like this place. Won't be back. Ever. Nor will I recommend this place to friends.Update: I see a response from the owner accusing this of being a false review. This certainly reflects their current attitude. Rather than try to resolve the issue, toxic comments are made. I did reach out to T-Buds by phone and my calls were not returned. I also worked through WorkPerks to resolve the situation. After a long period, I was told T-Buds was removed from the discount program.

This is a very unassuming place for afternoon tea. Located upstairs (not handicap friendly) of a soon to be chicken restaurant it has less than a dozen tables. If you are used to high tea at one of the big hotels you may be slightly disappointed at the environment. Good selection of teas and a decent selection of sandwiches and scones grouped into 'packages '. Each grouped selection comes with a selection of savoury sandwiches and scones. Additional items can be added on a la carte. Sandwiches and scones were okay, nothing remarkable. Service was decent. Because of the size of the place there is one unisex restroom which doubles as the employees change room, again this is not a big place!We arrived at noon on a Sunday and an hour later they were full! This is our second time here and it 's a nice option for tea if you don 't want to head to someplace else that might be more formal or traditional. We stayed 2 hours and did not feel rushed.

Have been wanting to try this cute little place for forever. Since I'd be in the vicinity today, I ordered the Afternoon Teabox a couple of days in advance (to go) which included 6 mini sandwiches, 2 scones with preserves, 2 petit four, small fruit cup, mini quiche, and the most delicious mango pineapple tea. From placing the order, to communicating the time of pick up and preference of payment everything went well. The server I interacted when i was picking up my order was extremely pleasant, and when I asked for a takeout cup of hot water for the tea she didn't hesitate and got it for me very fast. When I got to my destination, I opened up my lovely prepared box and indulged. Value was well worth it, and would love to come back another time and dine in.Vegetarian options: Assortment of vegetarian sandwiches, quiche.

Delightful little place on Yonge Street near Lawrence Ave W. I would not recommend for those with mobility concerns as there are steep stairs to climb to get to the cozy tearoom. The soft jazz music playing in the background helped to create a relaxing atmosphere.Mom had the Spa Salad consisting of arugula, feta, and berries. The classic tea tray had an assortment of tasty sandwiches. If you don't have a sweet tooth, the preserve jam and the macaroons are sweet.Loved the selection of teas.

It's pleasant place to have a get together, staff were really sweet. The scones were delish with jam. Plenty of tea options
