  I love the concept of this tearoom. The service is friendly and the ambiance is quite nice. Picking out your own tea pot is fun. The quality of food is wonderful. I would like the Delightfully Different tearoom to consider serving warmed fresh fruit with their scones. In addition, I would love it if the scones were made in a traditional shape, and served with genuine clotted cream.

  This tea room came recommended by a friend who said it was a great place to stop while traveling from Toronto to Montreal. I confess the decor was not what I was expecting. I thought it would be a touch more British styled. The room appeared harshly coloured and harshly lit by a too bright ( energy efficient light bulbs?) chandelier. If my experience in the shop had been better, this picky little complaint would have been overlooked.
  When we first went in it was very difficult to figure out how to order.The sandwich I had (bacon and egg with cheese on bread/toast) was ordinary, but this isn't surprising at it was made with a pre cooked egg "patty" that had small pieces of crumpled bacon , reheated in a microwave some shredded cheese on top and lettuce. I chose Irish Breakfast tea and asked for it to made extra strong. I have to say that it was delicious. My friend ordered the daily quiche and said it was delicious. Her English Breakfast tea on the other hand was dreadful. It poured out the colour of rinse water from a stronger cup of tea. She looked in the pot and it had barely any tea leaves in it. She asked for more tea leaves which improved it only slightly.
  All this would have been overlooked if I hadn't been so off put by the actions of the woman who seemed to be in charge {the owner). She spoke harshly to two of the other staff members serving me. If the staff were learning the job, then some guidance may be necessary, but as a paying customer I don't want to see staff humiliated in front of me.To be honest I felt like saying something myself to see how this woman liked to chastised in front of customers. The long and short of it, is that I will most definitely choose another tea/lunch shop next time I am in Kingston. I gave it one star because the tea I had was delicious.
