    Anniversary afternoon tea was so appreciated during our 50th wedding anniversary. The speciality pink scones were a nice touch. :-)

    Excellent choices of tea and cozy with my niece. Checking this place out was such a treat for brunch. Bacon benedict was delicious and really liked how they played a bridgerton playlist in the background.

    Great Brunch at Vanitea Room. Service was excellent and food was well presented, tasty and different from your standard fare. Have also enjoyed their afternoon tea service in the past and it was also excellent

    I love Vanitea it's a gem in the city. I went for brunch after many years and it was cute and overall tasty but one of the items lacked flavour. Loved the beef bacon eggs benny. Unfortunately, the payment system was down and they could only take cash, which I didn't have, but a friend did so that saved us, otherwise we were told to go to an ATM down the street which wasn't ideal.

    Fabulous time was had with my wife for an impromptu brunch and afternoon tea. A welcome surprise to have a green shakshuka? Very interesting and quite delicious. Reminded me of back home. Nice scones too. Will be back.

    I used to love Vanitea tearoom but this visit in 2025 made me never want to go again. The room was cold with the door opening in the little still beautifully decorated space. There were too many inexperienced staff who did not know the menu interacting with us causing the order to get confused. There is nothing on the sparse and unappealing menu for less than 24$ - a basket of 6 scones for 24$ I don't think inflation has been that much. 25 $ for two squished croissants named Crowaffles with no other bits of breakfast potato or fruit or anything, a regular 10cent ice cream cone on top, why? I ended up paying nearly 50$ for a really sub par expereince. I felt really ripped off. This is a luxury place, but it felt cheap to me.
