Blue Willow Tea Shop

Geoff Lewis

Gravenhurst is a truly lovely community and stop if you are travelling to or from the Cottage Country. (between Sudbury & Toronto). The Blue Willow Tea Shop is located in the impressive Cockburn Square, where you are sure to find something of interest on this picturesque waterfront and creatively designed park area complete with gazebos, picnic areas, unique stores, washroom facilities, ample parking and amazing views. The Blue Willow Tea Shop is a diamond amongst the many gems to choose from. It is a wonderful treat amongst beautiful surroundings. Whether you are looking for a traditional English ‘cuppa’ & wonderful treats on a 3-tiered cake stand or just wanted to shop for a TRULY WIDE & WONDERFUL assortment of AMAZING jams, jellies and unique gifts etc direct from England, this is the place to take your favourite Aunt, Grandma, visitor or loved one. They will love you for it and remember it forever. I had my relatives over from Wales and the UK and they adored it. Unfortunately, I also had my ‘man’s best friend’ with us so were unable to indulge in all there was to offer but I did pick up a Mrs Darlington Blackberry & Apple Jam & a Wilkin & Sons Damson Conserve for delicious treats on our cross country road trip.

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 were at the docks in Gravenhurst looking at the steamship's and we came across this cute little tea shop..We went in and were blown away by how cute this tea shop is. There were so many different tea cups and tea pots on shelves for. There were table and chairs set up with teacups and saucers on the table. Everything is in a baby blue colour theme. At the back is teas, jams and other stuff for sale.We bought 2 scones $7 and they were delicious. And a jar of ginger jam $10.50. The lady working there was very friendly. Along the hallway is more cups and saucers on shelves for sale and the hallway is has lighting along the top of the ceiling.This place has high tea which I would love to try one day.

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.

A truly enchanting experience. We were welcomed with warm, graceful, and genuinely attentive service. The staff took their time guiding us through the tea selections with sincerity and thoughtful care, making every moment feel personal. Stepping inside felt like being transported to a charming English tearoom, the wall décor, the elegant displays, and the beautifully arranged cups and plates on each table created an atmosphere that was refined, cozy, and wonderfully nostalgic. The High tea set was beautifully curated, elegant in presentation and refined in flavour. Each item complemented the tea perfectly, creating a harmonious and comforting tasting experience that felt memorable and heartfelt. The stunning lakeside view made our afternoon even more special. Sipping tea while gazing out at the calm water, with ships quietly sitting across the horizon, created a peaceful and almost poetic atmosphere. It was the perfect backdrop to relax, slow down, and truly savour the moment. This is a wonderful place for everyone, whether you’re spending time with family, enjoying a quiet date with your partner, or sharing a peaceful afternoon tea with someone special. The setting is cozy, intimate, and ideal for meaningful conversations. It brings together beauty, flavour, and tranquility with effortless elegance. A truly charming escape and a place we highly recommend.

The Blue Willow Tea shop truly blew my Mom & I away. She has a gluten intolerance & their team still offered her such a great variety. Our server Caroline was lovely, made great suggestions, and really went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed. Lovely ambiance, well curated gifts & tea’s. Definitely worth the drive! Our new high tea spot for years to come!

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.

Our group of 3 enjoyed our tea time. Great service. Delish tea options and many many nostalgic things to shop for. Recommended for a girls getaway destination. Not recommended for families. It’s very tight space with many things for kids to touch (or break)
