Cronquist Tea House - Red Deer, Alberta

Our book club had our monthly gathering at Cronquist House. We made a reservation and were put into the back of the restaurant. It was lovely to be in a separate quiet area.

We all ordered the tea for one/two and all of it was delicious. The service was at a leisurely pace. We all had variations of tea and I enjoyed the Chai Wallah (local treasure)

Most of us took some of our lunch home in that the portions were large. We appreciated the chef coming out and checking on our friend with allergies.

There were some questions about whether the scone was a scone or a biscuit and crusts being on the sandwich for a real high tea.

We came to the conclusion that it didn't really matter in that it all tasted great.

The price is more than fair (around $20 including tea)

One friend had the soup and said it was delicious.

I took dessert home and the peanut butter pie and it was delectable.

Not exactly sure what the hours are for winter but today they were open 11-4.

Great affordable experience that I am already dreaming of having again soon.

For people like me who’s an old soul, it is an eye candy. Plus the beautiful teacups oh Im in heaven… It is worth the two hr drive from Edmonton. It is in the same area with Bower Ponds so you can pretty much spend the entire day there without getting bored.

Went for lunch today, and what an amazing experience, the daily soup was rich spiced flavors but not spicy, the sandwich was fresh and very filling. No room for dessert but the scent of fresh baking was enticing. I highly recommend! I will try the new chicken pot pie next time. The new management are great cooks, and so welcoming!

While enjoying the Bower Ponds playground with my Grandsons, we walked past this amazing vintage home. The boys asked if we could go inside. I was nervous as they are ruffians and there is china everywhere. Jacquie gave us a fun, informative tour then her and Rehima treated us like royalty! The food, tea and ambiance was outstanding! An excellent memory for our 2025 Easter.

We were here on December 1st for the Victorian Christmas it was fantastic I highly recommend it. The house is big and beautiful it was very well decorated for Christmas. I first learned about the Victorian Christmas supper,10 years ago and have always wanted to try the Victorian Christmas supper. The 5 courses were all really good the beef pie crust was fantastic. I made the champagne jellies for our Christmas and my partner figured out how to make the napkin Christmas trees and set our Christmas table exactly the way they set the table, it was fun to bring a little bit of Victorian Christmas to Christmas 2023. They only do the supper one or two nights in December. And a slightly different menu every year. It is definitely something that we would do again. We stopped in for tea for two a couple of years ago and it was a perfect lunch it's a quiet place in a beautiful location definitely a hidden gem of Red deer.

I finally made it for lunch - so glad I did! I had the corn chowder soup which came with a cheese tea biscuit, also had the lemonade and cinnamon bun for dessert - everything was amazing - can't wait to go back!! Prices are very good as well! 🙂

My mom and I had such an incredible experience at the Cronquist Tea House. It was my mom's very first high tea and our server was phenomenal and added to our experience. The food was delicious and pretty. My only feedback would be that if there was a way for the tea to be hotter, that would make it perfect.
