| - I adore this place, even though I've only visited this place once. If it wasn't for the fact that the location isn't that easily accessable by subway, as it is smack dab between Lawrence/Yonge station but closer to York Mills Station. I'd probably be making a LOT of excuses to come here.
I showed up here on a lazy Sunday afternoon for lunch to try out their crepes and their tea. The store is two levels, with the lounge/kitchen upstairs and the cafe downstairs.
The upstairs lounge is great casual space, and has big squishy armchairs and couches on one side and a table on the other.
Unfortunately, when we went the A/C was broken upstairs and the sound system was kind of annoying with the subwoofer acting up from time to time. They were willing to turn it off for us, when we asked.
So the crepes around 15.00, includes a small side salad and your choice of cuppa, which you can either get hot or cold.
Their crepes are simply wonderful, great texture with a touch of chewy, and sturdily thin. Our orders, Spice Island crepe, which was stuffed with crab meat, and nicely spicy without being overwhelming. The boyfriend ordered the Moghul, which was butter chicken in a crepe (as he called it) and another mutual friend ordered the smoke Salmon crepe (I forget the actual name on the menu)
For dessert, we split the Irish Strawberry and their classic crepe. I'd said go straight for the classic; even though the Irish Strawberry was heavenly. But I loved the classic more, because it was so simply done, lemon and sugar, and an A-plus follow up after our lunch crepes.
All the crepes paired wonderfully well with the mix of teas we had ordered with our crepes. (the other mutual friend ordered the Oolong Milky Way, I ordered the Lychee Rose Iced, and the boyfriend ordered the chai) I, also, liked the fact that they split the crepes into 3 plates, without us having to ask.
I spent a bit of time chatting with the owners, and they're very friendly and enthusiatic about the products that they carry. They did a tea tasting for me to taste the difference between some of the different types of oolong they had and how it would taste versus the Iron Goddess they had on hand.
The store, also, does tea tasting seminars and if it as fun as the impromtu tea tasting seminar I had, I'll probably drag a few friends for a tea seminar and afternoon tea.
The store, also, offers the afternoon tea for 4 people, which retails around $48 before taxes. They recommend you call ahead for afternoon tea, at least a day in advance, although they did tell me that if you call in the morning of the day you want to go, they should be able to accomodate you.
They accept all major credit cards and debit.
