Societea

Today, my friend and I enjoyed a mid week high tea at Cafe Societea to celebrate her birthday. Joseph and his staff were extremely welcoming and went above and beyond to make our visit most enjoyable and relaxing in this quaint, vintage style suburban cafe. This delightful ambience was created with beautiful fine china, vintage furniture and a rather eclectic style throughout. Cups of tea were hot and plentiful and our food was beautifully served on individual tiered plates. The scones were soft and delicious having been freshly baked and the jam, homemade. Our sandwiches, salmon etc were also fresh and the jelly and other sweets of a similar high standard. Having experienced a number of high teas in various venues throughout Canberra, in our opinion, Cafe Societea offer the best ambience, service and food. Will definitely be returning.

The most unique cafe I've ever been to. Situated in what would appear to be the foyer/arcade of the local shops, the owners of this charming cafe go far above and beyond to make for an all around terrific dining experience. Lovely personal engagement, delicious food and high tea, relaxing feel, this is a top notch hidden gem of a cafe!

A group of 11 went on a Thursday afternoon to celebrate an engagement. The food was varied and the portions small enough for us to sample everything. One of the staff even stood on a chair to take our group photo. I lovely relaxed quality high tea .Would make a nice thank you present to take a special friend.
