The Secret Garden - Afternoon Tea in Vancouver, B.C.
Who doesn't enjoy the wonderful tradition of Afternoon Tea? We recently had a lovely day visiting the Kerrisdale area for a little shopping, girl talk and tea. My mum was over visiting from Vancouver Island, so my sister and I rounded up our teenage daughters, and we made an outing of it. First stop were the various little boutiques and food shops along 41st, where we found all sorts of unusual items to purchase. Yes, I even picked up a few unusual accessories for my Home Staging business.
Of course, shopping works up an extreme thirst, so at noon we visited The Secret Garden, a lovely, little oasis in the shopping jungle, for a full on British Afternoon Tea. The first taxing decision was to decide what kind of tea to order. The Secret Garden boasts 40 different types of tea. I ordered the Creamy Earl Grey tea. Delightful. Next, up came a lovely 3-tiered china serving plate, overflowing with tiny, delicate sandwiches, tarts, cakes and of course, scones with jam and Devon clotted cream.
If you don't have time to leisurely feast on these delicacies, you can also order take out goodies from the glass case section. The Secret Garden is located at 5559 West Boulevard, Vancouver, B.C. Here's a photo of (left to right) my niece, Emma, my Mum, and my daughters Dominique and Madeleine. Oops, I should have taken the photo before we'd polished off the scrumptious Afternoon Tea!
