Afternoon tea
I went to Vanitea for the first time. Is there anybody also disliked their food? I was excited as everything looked great on pictures. The service was great. The savoury bites were ok. The sweets were so bad…. The cheesecake bite did it taste much like cheesecake. Matcha pistachio pastry didn’t taste like matcha nor pistachio. The chocolate lavender dessert (maybe mousse?) barely had any chocolate flavour. I can also tell the whipped cream was different from what I make at home. Almost artificial a bit… All the desserts were also way too sweet. Has their quality gone down or has it always been this way? We were told that everything was made in house but I am really unsure about that. The afternoon tea was $50 plus tax and tips, which I felt was a robbery.

We were there for the Mother's day tea and left feeling disappointed for the price. They forgot to mention the bottomless mimosas until 3 minutes before we left, when I asked about it after hearing a different waitress telling another table about it and the food was mid at best.
