Earlier this month, we took a daytrip to the quaint village of Niagara-on-the-Lake (NOTL). My visit to the Victoria Teas and Coffee shop was described here.
It was a weekday so there were no crowds at the heritage district.
During the summer season, the area is packed with tourists.
At the Just Christmas store, I spotted this pretty teapot wind chime.
The teapot is 24K gold plated and decorated with genuine Swarovski Crystal, hence the $19.99 price tag.
Some cute tea-themed store displays at a gift shop (top) and bakery (bottom).
Not pictured: the scones we purchased at the bakery.
I've been wanting to try out the Irish Tea Room (you can learn more about its history here) for years and finally did so this month!
The Irish Tea Room is located at the back of the Irish Design shop.
I captured this image of the tea room just minutes before the tables filled up with patrons.
My cup of Barry's Tea.
I'm not sure which blend--gold, classic or original--I was served, but it was good!
I ordered the delicious Celtic Shepherds Pie which was so filling that I didn't have room for their traditional scones!
One NOTL tea room down, two left to go (Prince of Wales, The Drawing Room)!
I'm joining the following parties this week:
Every post makes me want to visit this village even more. What a haven for tea lovers. I would definitely like to have tea at the Irish Tea Room. Love that the menu is varied and looks like they serve large portions. Looking forward to reading about the next tea room soon.
ReplyDeleteI wish I could tag along with you when you're visiting the tea rooms! Ooh what fun that would be. At least I get to take a peek at them through your photos.
ReplyDeleteWhat fun that would be! We don't have a lot of tea rooms here on the Island and the ones we do have are mainly open only during the summer months. Lots to look at there where you visited. The tea room sounds wonderful and that little teapot wind chime was adorable! Thanks for sharing with us and joining me for tea today.
ReplyDeleteBlessings,
Sandi
What a yummy spot!
ReplyDeleteI hope you bought the teapot chimes Margie, it's gorgeous! Looks like a trip to NOTL could be in order again, wonder if I can convince my hubby to visit the tea rooms though. :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks for linking to Mosaic Monday.
What a wonderful place! I would love to have tea there. The wind chimes are so cute! Thanks so much for linking to Tuesday Cuppa Tea!

How Fun! Thanks for stopping by. I love trying out new tea rooms. They are just a joy!!! I will have to add these to my "Bucket Tea Room List" :) Have a great week.
ReplyDeleteOh how delightful! That tea room sounds so neat. What a fun thing to have done. Glad you enjoyed! Thank you for your visit and sweet comments.

ReplyDeleteOh Margaret, what a delightful place to visit! What a joy to be able to simply enjoy the beauty of tea. Hugs!
ReplyDeleteHi Margie,
ReplyDeleteOh how I want to go to the Tea Room. I love the gold teapot chime and would have had to buy it. The teapots and china for sale are lovely too. The shepherd's pie looks delicious as well. Happy Tea Day! Blessings, Karen

Love Niagara on the Lake. We stayed at the Prince of Wales last time we visited. Very nice but have stayed at nicer cheaper places. I wasn't that impressed with the Irish Tea Room. Glad you enjoyed it though.
ReplyDeleteThank You for the informative tour to the teashops and Niagara-on-the Lake...It's been awhile so you renewed my insight and interest in visiting again...Awesome experience....Hugs
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful tour. Wish I had the teapot wind chime. Lovely, Martha
ReplyDeleteSounds you had a wonderful day trip. Beautiful tea pots...
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos!
ReplyDeletePerhaps it's good that there aren't wonderful tea rooms and shops like that here where I live. There would be too many temptations. First I would buy the teapot wind chime...
Your previous post was lovely as well. Thank you for sharing!
Hi Margie! That tearoom looks so quant! The food sounds terrific too. The village looks so cute--one of these days I'll have to get to Canada (I'll put it on my list). Thanks so much for your repeat visits to my France posts! I really appreciate it--I know that they are long, I have a hard time not posting a picture I like. My camera is actually not that great--it ATE batteries the whole time. I think I ended up having to spend 30 Euro on batteries just to keep it going--and I brought a lot with me in my suitcase. I'm looking forward to when you get to the other two tea rooms too!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun visit and delicious food. So glad you shared your visit!
ReplyDeleteSounds like a lovely place to go wandering about in with the bonus of a selection of nice tearooms. What more could you want.
