Reviews of Mifflin's Tea Room (Event Planner)

jonana j

Loved the Seafood Chowder and Cesar Salad. The Partridge Berry Tart was great also. Well sized portions. Very friendly staff. Would definetly go back again

Amy Saunders

Love love love Mifflin Tea Room!!! They have the BEST pan fried cod Ive ever had in my life. Everything is so fresh, it is hard not to leave with a full belly. Their roast beef is so tender, literally falls off your fork. Last year, me and my husband had our breakfast wedding reception at the Mifflin Tea Room (only 15-20 ppl). It was so perfect with all the delish food and cute tea pots and cups. Makes you feel like your at nan's house. The owner is one of the most kind and hospitable people I know. I could go on and on about how great the food is here and how wonderful the people are here. A must try if your in Bonavista!

Geoff Aylward

Pleasant, cozy and very well artifacted. Friendly service. Delicious cod au gratin. Very reasonably priced. Well-deserved high ratings.

Eun-young Shim

Best chowder ever. French onion soup was great. Loved their roast beef too. We had our dinner here on our first day in the Trinity area and then came back the next day because it was so good. In addition to the great food, this place has kind staffs, cozy interior with antique tea set decor, sparkling clean restrooms.

Enjoyed the food here

Nadine Robinson

Good food, nice patio, but for a tea room, too many tea bag teas. I did get to try Toutons and baked beans ????

Steven Bradley

Reservations are required. Their food was plentiful and well-prepared. Their desserts are all home made and very tasty.

Jackie Blake

Cute lil place.. great food ????

Becky Reddy

Absolutely beautiful.. food was top shelf

Matt Sample

Waited 35 mins for chowder which didn’t show up. Groups that showed up after us ate and paid before we got our soup which we didn’t receive.

Ashton Harvey

Very good cod sandwich!

Carina D

Unfortunately, I can not comment on the quality of the food and drinks, because we were just not served. We waited at the counter for at least 5 minutes, but we were ignored completely. Nobody did even say "hello" to us. The staff seemed pretty stressed out, but there should be still time for a quick friendly look or just something like "I'll be with you in a few minutes".

Ana Caballero Mengibar

Good food and ambiance!!

Jules Gaudreault

Fantastic food

Mike Celis

Had a great meal with our kids and the service was excellent. We ate outsite because the weather was fantastic!

Juan Aragon Franssen

Quaint little spot with truly delicious food! Thank you for the memories!

Anita Lahey

We stopped by this tea room twice during our recent stay in Bonavista . The food is excellent and service was amazing,

Connie Bent

This restaurant was recommended to us by our BnB host for dinner one night......it was very busy when we got there and even though we didnt have reservations, the staff got us seated and made us feel welcome. Food was unbelievable (all homemade) and the ladies working there were outstanding.....one of the ladies was kind enough to give me a souvenir I had my eye on, even though it wasnt for sale...."you didnt get it here" wink wink????????. Loved this place and would definitely return.

Jean-Francois LeBlanc

Recently came here for supper. Cute little restaurant perfectly located downtown. Staff member was very friendly and welcoming. Very good service! We ordered a chicken parmesian and a chowder. Chowder was one of the best I ever had. Chicken Parm was a bit dull, was luke warm and tasted it was cooked in a microwace (even tho it more than likely wasnt) pasta were great. Dessert was awesome!! Bang on!! Since this place is known to be a Tea Room, we ordered a tea for a warm drink (thinking it would be something special). Tea was only a David's Tea which is sold anywheres.

jacknken

noah gallant

David-Joyce Baxter

Great spot, great food featuring traditional local fare. Friendly staff.

E. Win

Cute interior and great desserts!

Canning Factory

Very cute place with nice service and large portions. Food was tasty and reasonably priced with good traditional Newfoundland options. A great little place with adorable decor to get a quick lunch.

Fergus ST

Went here multiple times back in early August, the food was very good, a good price, and they served most (if not all) of their menu any time of the time they were open. Sometimes the food took awhile, but never was it a jawdropping amount of time. Very good!

Agnes Jarvis

Cosy atmosphere.friendly staff.good food .

Stephane Lallier

Very cozy and relaxing. Amazing story comes with the restaurant. Friendly servers makes this place special.

Andrew Krausz

Great chowder and friendly service!

Barbara Gibson

Lovely place. Heartwarming and the food is delicious!!

Nicholas Thoms

Great food that will fill you up.

Paul Russell

Incredible cod chowder, a complete and very tasty meal in one delicious bowl. It's amazing when you think about it that several generations of the same family have kept the restaurant running successfully for such a long period of time.

Tyrone Wheeler

The food here was wonderful, the people very friendly. I highly recommend this place for anyone travelling to Bonavista!

KathDennis Forsyth

We stumbled upon this place on a Sunday morning looking for something light. The menu and seeing what others were having convinced us to try something more hearty. We were not disappointed.

Heidi Gatherall

Beans and toutons were excellent!

H. ESN

Charming restaurant ... great food ... superb service ... highly recommend ... desserts look amazing!!! Dont let the name fool you ... has a very extensive menu ... seafood, soups, salads, pasta, roast beef, all day breakfast etc etc etc OMG the chowder is so DELICIOUS ...more like fish stew ... so thick with fish and seafood; I should have had a cup not a bowl of chowder ... so filling. No room for dessert :(

Tony Kocurko

Just as with another of our reviews for the area, we really love Mifflin's Tea Room and always make a point of stopping in at least once or twice for a meal whenever we visit Bonavista. Mifflin's fishe-and-brewis runs a very close second (Sorry, Mifflin's ????) to that at Nanny's Root Cellar Kitchin over at Elliston. On the other hand, no one will touch Mifflin's deserts! People even reserve a slice of the peanut butter cheese cake, so I missed out on that on the first of our three visits on our most recent trip to some guy who had asked for the last piece to be set aside for the jigg's dinner that he would have later that day. The fish cakes are also beautifully done, and the tea(s) are lovely.

Cynthia Fleming

Beautiful place

Choqueux Élodie

(Translated) Homemade food and fresh dessert of the day! This place has a soul, it's a family story. Very friendly service and good atmosphere. Like at home. (Original) Bouffe maison et dessert frais du jour! Cette place a une âme, c'est une histoire de famille. Service très amical et bonne ambiance. Comme à la maison.

Isaac Mailach

The fish and soup was delicious, but some of the other dishes or sides were only pretty good. Large portion of pan-fried cod. The food took quite a while but not too bad.

Ann Wynd

(Translated) We loved this little place. Everything was good and homemade. To discover. (Original) Nous avons adoré ce petit endroit. Tout était bon et fait maison. À découvrir.

Peter Vokey

Stopped in for breakfast early on a Sunday morning. Friendly staff, beautiful cafe, and the food is delicious! Would definitely recommend the Newfie Sampler, just like nan used to make. Will come back again to enjoy the rest of the menu!

Jeff Hulan

Great homemade desserts. Tea like it is meant to be served.

Roger Bannister

Fantastic food and service , top marks for the Pea Soup and Partridgeberry pie

Dungeons Distillery Ltd

Al Moghadam

This place is magical. The food is exquisite. I tried the mussels, pea soup, the toutons, and fish cakes... All recommended.

Cristine Sousa

Enjoyed a delicious brunch on the patio at this super cute spot! Best part is that all the food is home made. Highly recommend! Tip: try the seafood chowder and the carrot cake!

K Barker

Fish cakes were very tasty...

Alicia Wells

I enjoy Mifflin's Tea Room. My favorite meal is the chicken salad croissant. They have a large assortment of teas. Very nice environment. Would recommend reservations if you are looking to go with a crowd as the tables fill up quickly.

Howard Young

Visited here on our trip to Bonavista and it was an all around good meal. The fish cakes were perfectly seasoned and the atmosphere was just right.

Jeremy Murphy

Quaint little restaurant with delicious breakfast and friendly staff. Great fishcakes and toutons!

Carla Johnston

We went here for breakfast and sat on the deck. Great atmosphere and it was a sunny day which was a bonus! Service was very good as was the food! Hot and tasty! Will go back next time we are in town!!

Mark OConnor

great local dinner place. wow they are busy but make up for it with hospitality and food. i dont know if it was just the night but my only comment would be to open up the windows a bit as it was stifling hot in there. fantastic food though.

Diesel Dog

Quaint cafe with limited seating so make reservations to avoid disappointment. Food is absolutely incredible.

Jason Guy

True Newfoundland friendliness. The owner was very pleasant, and chatty. Staff were great, and the food didn't last long enough to take a picture of.

Darla Secor

Wonderful place to eat on a chilly day in Bonavista. I ordered the seafood chowder, which was perfect, and shared a pot of tea with my youngest son. Highly recommend!

Ying Woei Ooi

Came here for lunch and breakfast and the food is delicious, hearty and reasonably priced. We enjoyed the pea soup and chowder a lot. They are only open from June to September really to serve the tourists. Don't be deceived by its name being a tea room though. They only serve David's Tea!

lifefordummies

Great food. Really good Desserts! Super friendly staff. Very traditional experience.

Lee Woodworth

Right in the heart of Bonavista, this is a great place for breakfast, lunch or supper while exploring the town. Delicious food, accommodating service, generous portions. A wide selection of tea is served in tea pots. The coffee is also good. There are outside tables on the patio for extra social distancing.

John Macdonald

Big mistake to order roast beef. It was traditional grey / shoe leather and staff thought that ok. Yorkshire pudding not made the right way. Chowder was decent don’t go off grid here .

Shawn Bailey

Had the breakfast sandwich and it was awesome, ate it before remembering to take a photo ;) Wife had the toutons and they were great as well. Lots of traditional Newfoundland options and a large tea menu.

Lloyd Walters

This place is an absolute fantastic find. The pan fried cod served with pork scrunchions was done to perfection and served with traditional vegetables cooked just right. The serving staff are so friendly that they make the experience special. Make sure to visit and enjoy the experienice of great Nwe found land hospitality.

Athar Noman Khan

Had an enjoyable dinner.

Natalya Karabelska

A very cute place with really good menu and very friendly staff. The atmosphere is just amazing and good is really tasty. Terri sent off the local red wines of you like sweet fruity wine. Prices are very good as well. Would definitely come again when I'm in town next time

René Enguehard

Awesome food, great service, beautiful deck.

Adam Budgell

Expectations exceeded! Desserts are a must!

Vanessa Short

Cozy quaint and delicious food!

Marlene Schellenberg

Best fish chowder ever! They take traditional Newfoundland dishes upscale. Brewis like no other and lovely light toutons lightly fried to crispy but light and fluffy inside. Worth coming to Bonavista just for Mifflin’s.

Joelle Marche

Waited a long time after ordering and watched tables be seated and eat while we still waited. Ended up paying for a our drinks and leaving before we got our food. Very disappointed as this one of the places we had been anticipating eating at during our trip.

Will Soucie

The desserts is all I have to say to die for best place in small twin

Andrew Fenton

Fish cakes were awesomeness and so was my wine

Larry Misener

One of my favorite restaurants on our visit to Bonavista. Great selection of local fare and the prices were Competative

Eden Sullivan

We stopped here after visiting the lighthouse. The place was super cute with a very friendly hard worker waitress. I loved having tea out of the real China teacups my mother and sister had cake they said was good I had gluten free pancakes which were very nice. Highly recommend

Paula Taylor

We had a fantastic breakfast here, but I suggest making a reservation. They sometimes close for tour bus bookings. Everything homemade from scratch. Super service!

Laura Knight

Beautiful location. Great tea!

Sharon Squires

We were at Mifflins a few times during our visit. The staff are amazing. They certainly added to our overall experience! The food was also top notch! Try their great deserts and specialty coffee to finish a great evening! Hats off to Pauline Daisy Lori and Anita!

Grant S

Fantastic chowder. We thought it was a little pricey but after we brought it home and saw how much crab was in it we were hooked!

Richard Crane

The breakfast was delightful. Toutons were flight and fluffy yet had a nice crisp exterior. The baked beans were nice as well. We heard people in the restaurant talking about how fantastic their Jiggs Dinner was and they were taking reservations for it that afternoon. Lots of interesting antique decor as well. Also took tea buns to go that were great as well (we ate them on our drive back to St John's.) Will definitely go back next time we're in Bonavista.

MeeLian Rozing-Lee

We were there for the 1st time to have our lunch. It turned out to be delicious & good, nice & cozy little house with history. The cakes section is even better with tea. We went back the following morning for our breakfast, it was fabulous with reasonable price. We even ordered packed lunch for our hiking. Within the same day, we drove back from Trinity to here to have dinner & finishing with cakes & tea. It is really good place to have good food with reasonable price & with nice people.

Christa Skinner

Served me moldy bread last year, but they were super apologetic, replaced my sandwich and service was good.

Peter & Samantha John

Such a cute place and very good food and great service. No deep fried food all homemade.

Jim Barbeau

Excellent and authentic Newfoundland food !

Robert Saunders

Food was awesome. Can't wait to visit Bonavista for a meal when they reopen for the season.

Megan Reid

Fantastic food!! Bacon wrapped scallops were juicy and flavourful, fish cakes were incredibly light, fluffy and delicious, and the lemon meringue pie is marvellous! Staff was incredibly kind, and super helpful when we asked for tourist recommendations and directions. I’d 1000% recommend Mifflin’s Tea Room to anyone, we made a breakfast reservation for the next morning before we even finished our supper!

Gary Peckham

Excellent ,excellent, excellent

Ethan Pike

Really good breakfast

Danielle Best

Ok

Wayne Macdonald

Dan Rogers

Newfie sampler platter was as good as Nan's!

Gerhard Klemm

We asked the locals for a place of non fried food and were told to go to Mifflin's Excellent food and reasonably priced. Daisy is charming and warm.

Stacey Neumin

Awesome Seafood Chowder! I later discovered the owner was watching my face light up with joy as I relished each bite!!

Ravenlee Rogers

I'm giving only 2 stars due to the lack of service and the bland and soggy food. It took nearly 15 minutes just to get a glass of water. When the food finally arrived the pasta was very bland I had to add salt and pepper just to even make it okay. The salad was so soggy it was not edible. No one came to check durning our meals, we tried to get the attention of one of the waiters and where unsuccessful. Finally when they checked 25 minutes later we where just ready to leave at this point. As well we were shocked the the bread wasn't even homemade nor the garlic bread for the pasta it was frozen Texas toast you buy at the grocery store to heat u.

Philip V

Lots of history in this building, and it's kept in the family. We had a lovely meal, and thoroughly enjoyed the atmosphere. And of course the tea and cheese cake is wonderful. Make a reservation, because it's a popular place.

Awesome!

Russell Dawe

Authentic local food, very tasty. The “Newfie Sampler” for $18 gives excellent quality fish and brewis, with fish cake, baked beans, fried bologna, and a thick fluffy touton. Impressive selection of herbal and rooibos teas. The deserts are rich and decadent! Nice outdoor and indoor settings for dining. Friendly service. Overall rating on Google Maps currently 4.8 which is a fair score.

Rob Coombs

One of several great dining spots in Bonavista area. Enjoy eating outside during summer and sunsets.

Gerry Peters

I have tried seafood chowder many times in many places. This bowl of goodness at Mifflin's has been the best. I considered ordering a second bowl but I will just have to go back instead. Bravo!

bb bryan

We made a 3 hour drive from out hotel in St. Johns all the way to Bonavista. We stopped at a few places along the way, and of course checked out the lighthouse and Dungeon Park, but even if we hadn't, Mifflin's would have made it worth it! The restaurant and building itself is so inviting and cozy, and the patio where we sat under the apple tree was lovely. The ladies serving us were kind and attentive, and made us feel relaxed and at-home. The food was superb, some of the best I've had, and I would definitely say the number one place to get Newfoundland's iconic dishes, the Jiggs dinner was the best I've had, be sure to get it with roast beef and gravy! And the fishcakes were also a treat, but honestly you can't go wrong with anything on the menu. My only complaint is that my stomach wasn't bigger!! Unfortunately, I forgot to pick up a slice of homemade pie, and a hand-knit toque. I'll have to be back!
