$100 for 2 people for a 3-level set. Quite enjoyable but too much to finish and therefore too expensive.nI would come back for the nice ambiance and view but only have the 2-level set. I'd also request to change a few items. The brie tasted of nothing and the cranberry spread was way too sweet. The egg tarts didn't taste of much either. The scones were good but deserve much more clotted cream.nThe teas all were very good.

The sweetest little tea shop north of the city. Staff was wonderful, food was great and the atmosphere was great. Looking forward to going back!

We've been thinking about trying an English afternoon tea for quite some time, and had a pretty good time at Blue Willow Tea Shop. Being in the Gravenhurst waterfront area, we expected a bit of up mark in price, but we were quite pleasantly surprised to see that it was actually quite reasonable for what we received and when compared to other tea shops. We found ourselves bemused several times when the staff had to shoo tourists out of the dining area when they wandered in to look at the store displays, I'm not sure why they didn't just cordon off the area to save themselves the effort. The tea selection was expansive, and the savories were delicious. My partner is vegetarian and they were very accommodating by customizing her portion with options she could eat. I was quite happy with my first taste of clotted cream and scones. The desserts were a bit of a let-down, while some of the offerings were very good, I was a bit surprised to see what appeared and tasted like Costco two-bite cinnamon rolls on the plate. That being said, the rest was tasty, and we had to take the brownies home as there were just too many sweets for us. Would definitely try afternoon tea again based on my experience here.

We were hoping for a quick snack ahead of our cruise, not appreciating the sitting times for high tea. The owner was lovely and so accommodating setting us up with a wee tea between sittings. The drinks were refreshing, and the variety, taste, and freshness of the food was top tier. We loved the decor and lots of options for takeaway and British products.
