Victor & Marcel decided to move their well established antique business to the quiet hamlet of Williamsburg in the early winter of 1989. Seeking to combine both residential & commercial quarters, the present building loaned itself to both these scenarios. The main floor had previously been used as living quarters and the second story had housed a Masonic temple since turn of the 20th century and would make for a great showroom. However, it (the building) was vacant and had been so for some time. It was in desperate need of a lot of T.L.C. and major renovations.
Come savor a savory meal at The Crossroads Tea Room. They are conveniently reachable by public transit but also by bicycle. The neighboring location is remarkable for its merchants.
I have been to this tea room several times over the past year. The setting is great, meals are good & the freshness excellent. Service is great. A place to visit for a relaxing lunch. The convenience of shopping next door is a big plus. Way to go.Read more
Earlier this week was my first ever experience with DAVIDsTEA and I absolutely loved it! I had heard some positive things about the company from friends so I decided I'd see what it was like for myself. The ladies working behind the counter were extremely helpful and took the time to explain each and every tea that I inquired about. The samples were also delicious and I think that it's an incredible idea for people to be able to try different types of teas and see what they prefer - especially if they're newbies like me and have no frame of reference apart from "green tea or herbal tea" (I have never seen so many yummy flavours). On top of the exceptional service, I also purchase a "Bodum Strainless Travel Press" and I've literally been ranting and raving about it all week to my friends! It keeps my boiling water HOT for 4+ hours!!! Now I know to let the water cool a bit before putting the lid on - who wants to wait that long to drink their tea? The press is also incredible for the loose tea I purchased (pumpkin chai - which is DEEELICIOUS!) Overall I am officially hooked on this business and I will be returning for the quality products and service. You have a whole family of satisfied and returning customers now thanks to my great experience! Thank you!!

It is like stepping back in time..where else can you order a soup and a half sandwich so that you have room for that delicious butterscotch pie?
The place is extremely clean and the staff is courteous and caring. I try to get there at least once a month...certainly worth the drive from Ottawa!Read more

Visited the shop after a friend recommended it and ended up spending more money than I should. Wonderful section of teas and I was blessed with the presence of the owner and his wealth of knowledge. Enjoyed hearing a few tales about his travel to source tea and walked away with a few gems that will definitely have me returning! Can't wait for my next visit! ... Though am leaving the credit card behind this time!Read more
