Camellia Tea Room at Milner Gardens & Woodland

The Camellia Tea Room can be found in what used to be the Drawing Room of Milner House and features delicate bone china, ambient music, aromatic fresh floral arrangements and scenic views of the Salish Sea and Coastal Mountains. Our menu consists of freshly baked Milner scones with Devonshire cream and strawberry jam or whipped butter with raspberry jam, tea, coffee and a rotating selection of hot soups and decadent desserts. Please check our Facebook or Instagram pages every Thursday to see the latest menu for the upcoming weekend.

We are thrilled to carry our exclusive Milner Signature Tea selections, beautifully handcrafted by The Denman Island Tea Company. Packs of our Milner Gardens Signature Tea Blends of the herbal "Veronica's Garden" or black "Long Distance" are available for purchase at the Pool House Gift Shop.

Current Hours: Friday, Saturday and Sunday from 12pm - 3pm. Subject to change in the case of Specialty High Tea events. Please confirm our hours before your visit, here: https://milnergardens.viu.ca/tea-shops.
