My friends suggested that on my next visit to Toronto, T-Buds would be a nice place to have afternoon tea. I've been to a number of traditional and contemporary tea services and T-Buds was okay, at best. It is overpriced for the selection/number of items you receive. The decor wasn't spectacular and I didn't care for the white sheet of paper on the table for spills, or the small teapot. The $29 Afternoon Tea was underwhelming. The scones were good but a bit dense; some of the scones were not cooked through and doughy in the centre; there was only one little container of clotted cream and one jam that could barely cover 2 scones, let alone 4; for dessert, 2 macaroons, 1 tart and 1 cake were extremely disappointing. The sandwiches and jasmine sparkling tea elevated his review from a one star.
