About Us

We opened in September 2019 with the vision to provide a high quality tea experience in an accessible venue to the region of Kitchener-Waterloo. We used to be a coffee shop café but the pandemic forced us (in a good way!) to become laser focused on our offering -- Afternoon Tea! We sold the coffee equipment and are now considered Kitchener's premiere tea venue, serving a contemporary tea experience to our guests.

The tea house was named "Queen of Hearts" after our love for playing cards (poker, pepper, bridge, euchre, etc.). There's also the British connection between "tea time" and the Queen of England. And finally, our signature wall includes "memory tiles" from Canadian artist, Sid Dickens. Many of the art tiles in the collection are heart (and game) themed. You'll see this feature wall when you dine with us. All in all, this name just seemed fitting in several ways. 

This business is a dream come true for our proprietor, Alyshia, who left the corporate world (working in marketing and e-commerce) to chase this dream! We welcome you to share in our dream with a spot of tea and our tasty treats. Thanks for your interest and your support.
