Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
Crème delivers a charming European ambiance with "amazing" decor and a "whimsical feel," making it ideal for special occasions like afternoon tea. Guests appreciate its "delicious" food, especially the Coronation chicken sandwich, and "attentive" service. However, tables can be crowded, and some items are "overpriced." Overall, a "beautiful" spot worth visiting.

    The place is very nice but I asked for a birthday for my friend. I expected the best but it was very bad.

    My friends and I made a reservation for Creme as part of our 50th birthday weekend celebrations. It was a delightful experience with the perfect atmosphere for us to embrace the Awesome age of 50. The food and presentation were amazing, and our server Grace was exceptional. She knew we were celebrating (most likely as we had on our fancy tiaras) and made sure we had a great table in the back. She explained what each item was in the high tea and really made us feel special. We would recommend Crème to anyone wanted a special experience and to sample some amazing treats!

    Everything was 5*. Our server, Campbell, was amazing. I hope we get her next time. My only complaint is the noise level. I’m hearing impaired so noisy environments are a challenge.

    Thr splendid décor clashes with the inattentive staff and the overpriced food. I took my girlfriend to Crème for her birthday and we were expecting something with a bit more flair than a charcuterie board consisting of some hastily prepared water crackers, an overabundance of partially mouldy cheese and about four slices of deli meat. This would hardly be acceptable in any café let alone somewhere that requires a reservation and has a hefty $24.00 price tag. The overall atmosphere is interesting—whoever designed the café itself deserves due credit for effectively replicating a French style café with captivating bubble pop asthetics and lighting reminiscent of many Swiss, Belgian, French and Québecois brasseries and bistrots—but even here I must deduct points for the aforementioned staff. We were effectively ignored for the entire duration of our meal save for its onset. The coffee and tea were passable I suppose.

    Beautifully decorated, wonderful ambience, delicious food, and good service. The afternoon tea is delightful and is a must for a mothers and daughters, or besties. The only complaint I have is that the tables are very crammed together in a small space. A reservation is highly recommended.

    Loved this sweet restaurant and was able to share it with my Mom. The ambience was beautiful and the food was delicious and the prices are reasonable. The only thing was I should have looked closer at the menu to see what side I was getting with my croissant. The plate arrived with a huge side of French fries and I would have preferred a salad. Being new to the restaurant we should have been offered a review of the menu and options and the server should have confirmed my order to ensure I realized what I was getting as my side. Otherwise I would highly recommend trying this place. ❤️

    Felt like I was somewhere European. Great ambiance and staff was friendly and patient and didn’t mind repeating for those of our group who are hard of hearing. Coronation Chicken sandwich was AMAZING and the lemon dessert was delicious. Can’t wait to visit again.

    Immediately stepping into the space, you feel like you're in Paris. A vibe of elegance and sofistication while simultaneously quaint and quirky (heck, even the washrooms were chic). The service was very friendly, polite, informative, and accommodating. The Afternoon Tea was superb. Wonderful menu presentation with a fun surprise, which was paired perfectly with the food and beverages themselves. Everything tasted so delicious; such a rich array of textures and flavours from all of the dishes. I definitely want to return to explore more of their menu, and would highly recommend it for anyone wanting to enjoy the sit-in experience, or simply purchasing something to-go.
