T-Buds

What is T-Buds? Perched on the second floor of 3343 Yonge Street in Lawrence Park North, T-Buds is an intimate uptown tea parlour dedicated to classic English afternoon and high tea services. The dining room sits elevated above street level, decorated with linen-topped tables, floral accents, and vintage-style china that set a peaceful, unhurried tone. The parlor-style seating accommodates solo sippers, dates, and celebratory baby and bridal showers with equal grace.

T-Buds Menu & What to Order The three-tiered Classic Afternoon Tea is the main draw, balancing savoury canapés, delicate finger sandwiches, and house sweets. The standout bites include curried chicken layered with tart green apple and mango chutney, rich smoked salmon with dill cream cheese, and flaky mushroom pastries. Warm, freshly baked scones arrive alongside a house-whipped crème mascarpone and fruit preserves, best paired with a flute of cold sparkling tea and single-estate loose-leaf pots chosen from their 60-blend menu.

Know Before You Go Reservations are required at least 12 hours in advance via the website or phone, as each service and pastry course is prepped to order for 90-minute sittings. The lounge is situated a few blocks north of Lawrence subway station on Line 1, with Green P street parking scattered along Yonge Street. Operating hours run Wednesday through Sunday from 11:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., with kitchen orders cutting off at 5:00 p.m.
