The O’Connor House - Deseronto, Ontario

What a treat. Our first visit was in early spring and it was not busy at all. First impress was “wow”! British memorabilia everywhere especially our beloved Queen Elizabeth. I was hooked and everything got better from that point on! Tea tray was beautiful made and tasted marvellous. Fancy china ... tea cups and plates, and a wide variety of teas to choose from. Unfortunately with tourist season upon us it is getting busier and busier, I would suggest reservations! Read more

Wonderful food, attentive servers and a decor from our grandparents' day. Unique and exquisite. Don't miss the desserts, the scones are heavenly!

The chocolate cake is amazing. I almost didn’t want to order it because it’s gluten free and I thought that would make it less enjoyable but I couldn’t even tell. It was delicious! The chai tea was spectacular also. My mum had the scone with cream and preserve which was ... very delicious as well. My dad got a beer so he was happy! The service was good. The only problem we had was when we first arrived 5 minutes early for our reservation they had us wait 35 minutes to be seated. It was not a good first impression for me but my mum assured me it was worth the wait, and it totally was!! I didn’t want to knock stars off for the bad experience being seated because I think it was a one-off because of a large group taking up all the tables. Regardless they should have at least let us know it would be a while. It felt like forever waiting in the antique shop next door, not knowing how much longer. Anyway overall this place is excellent and I would definitely recommend it to anyone who wants to enjoy a nice tea and dessert in a very well decorated interesting tea house. Love it! Read more

This was our first time at O'Connor's and we were not disappointed. Right from the individual tea pots, homemade bread for the delicious sandwiches to the most amazing coconut cream pie we have ever tasted. This place is a hidden gem. Seriously the crust maker of the pie deserves the ... Order of Canada. Everyone needs to experience this place. Read more

Gosh what a lovely place! Everything was delicious and they really care about presentation; even adorning plates with fresh flowers. Our 5 year old loved the children tea and really appreciated everything scaled down to his size. Picalilli is amazing! I wish I could get the recipe! Obviously a local ... gem as it was super busy even on a Wednesday afternoon. Recommend reservations ☺️ Read more
