The Old Ormsby Schoolhouse - Limerick

A beautiful surprise inside an old school house. Fine china tea cups and silverware sets a welcoming table. Time to slow down and enjoy a cup of tea they way it was meant to be. Fabulous homemade soup and scones warm to the touch. Schoolhouse books, piano and benches give this room the "way back when" feeling. You will not be disappointed in the service and high tea menu. All orders, of course written on small chalkboards.

I visit the teahouse several times a year. The food is amazing particularly the full tea that includes tiny sandwiches, pickles, a scone with cream and preserves, and the best carrot cake ever. The soups are to die for. At Christmastime don't miss the Dickensian evening. Dinner is served by lantern light and the dvening is rounded out by listening to Dickens' A Christmas Carol as performed by Orson Welles' theatre group.

We recently had lunch at the Old School House Tea House with another couple and just had a wonderful experience. We each tried a different flavour of tea and omg! What aroma and taste. The butter nut squash soup was a delicious start to lunch follow by fantastic fresh sandwiches. Just like you would expect at High Tea. The atmosphere was great, you're actually in an old schoolroom with all of the decor. A hidden gem!

Delicious home cooking, interesting artifacts, amazing pies and cakes by Ernie and opportunities to chat about the history of the Toronto music scene. Whether a treat from having to cook at the cottage, a Thanksgiving dinner or a special event, you will always be pleased with the quality of the food and service.

What a find on old County Road.....stopped for coffee but the sandwich was the highlight.......and great value for money......also sells organic products which are excellent
