    Amazing experience having afternoon high tea at Zoe's for my friend's 30th birthday celebration. Food and tea selection were delicious, staff were wonderful, and the environment was immaculate. We felt like princesses today. Would recommend for any special occasion and would definitely come back again.

    Loved the afternoon tea experience at Zoe's and our server was so great and helpful. Also loved that at the time we asked, we were able to have halal meat options which is awesome. I recommend checking each time to ensure its still the case. Thank you Zoe's for offering halal options! Will definitely return here!

    Hands down the best high tea in Canada (sorry Empress!) The food was creative and delicious with various options for gluten-free, vegetarian, and pescatarian diets. I am still thinking about the melt-in-your-mouth creamy maple fudge and decadent chocolate mousse. However, the savoury elements of the tea stole the show. My favourites were cauliflower, roast beef with various chutneys. Also, their champagne cocktails were elegant, complimenting the service and ambience. The newly-renovated tea room is gorgeous and modern - overall the experience was a treat!
