Antique mirrors, hand-painted florals and crystal chandeliers — where afternoon high tea becomes a small, beautiful ceremony.
551 Somerset St. W. • Tuesday–Sunday
Our Story
Since 2016, The Vanitea Room has poured loose-leaf teas and European-style fare in a room designed to feel like a secret. Tufted velvet, baroque gold and a wall of blooming florals set the scene for leisurely afternoons and happy celebrations.
Everything is served with intention — from the first warm scone to the last pour of a boozy bottomless mimosa.
The Experience
Tiered towers of fresh hors d’oeuvres, warm scones with jam and clotted cream, and a pot of loose-leaf tea chosen just for you.
See the menu →Our signature pour. Endless mimosas alongside light bites, every Tuesday through Sunday, 11am to 4pm.
Reserve brunch →Bridal showers, birthdays and intimate celebrations, styled in our jewel-box salon with bespoke tea service.
