Get Ready for Tea Time.

Is there anything better than afternoon tea? How about afternoon tea with homemade biscuits and jam? If you answered no to both of these questions then you need to visit Arabella’s tea room. 
Arabella's Tea Room 280 King St. Port Colborne
Arabella’s tea room is located in a 1915 Edwardian cottage which is part of the Port Colborne Historical and Marine Museum Heritage Village. The Village includes the original 1869 Georgian-revival style Home and Carriage House of Arabella Williams which houses the main exhibit galleries, Humberstone's first log schoolhouse, the 1850 log home of John and Sally Sherk, the F.W. Woods and Sons 1880 Marine Blacksmith Shop, a Marine Exhibit Lighthouse and Arabella’s tearoom.

From June to September visitors can stop by the tea room between the hours of 2-4p.m. to enjoy some team and homemade biscuits and during the Christmas season the tea room offers its special holiday pudding. Arabella’s volunteers dress in period costume which helps create an authentic Edwardian atmosphere.

Arabella’s tea room is one of my favourite places to visit in Niagara. Whether I go with friends or I bring a book as my companion, nothing quite beats sitting in the summer sun with fine china, a good cup of tea and an outstanding view.

In preparation for your visit to a tea room here are some tips for proper tea room etiquette. Happy tea time!

    I've never been to a tea room, but I think it would be such a great experience! I'm going to have to head to Arabella’s sometime this summer :)
