The other day, my friend and I were planning to go high tea at the Shangrila Hotel but it was all fully booked so our next option was Patisserie Fur Elise. We were lucky enough that a table was cancelled last minute so we were able to get a table during that time slot. We were shocked how these high tea places get booked up so fast, so I highly recommend booking in advance before going. We parked our cars at the Pacific Centre Mall and skytrained down to Yaletown. From the Yaletown Skytrain station it took us around 8-10 mins to walk to Patisserie Fur Elise. It was a gorgeous day, so walking was not an issue. BUT after high teaing, we've noticed skytraining to Yaletown was actually not necessary and it would probably be faster if you walk from PC to here.
When we arrived, we thought the exterior was extremely cute. There were 4 of these "houses" in a row, none of them were used for residential purposes. All of them were commercial spaces and I thought it was just the cutest place for high tea.
When you first step in, on the right hand side is where you can buy their pastries/macarons for take out. They had such a cute display, I just wanted to buy everything there. On the left hand side were the stairs that led up to the second floor, which is where the high tea actually took place. They don't have much table, hence booking in advance is highly recommended.
These were the cutest pillows EVER! :)
