Sherwood Park's First Teahouse Is Finally Open
The Ivy Tearoom and Bakery brings high tea ceremonies and in-house baking to the east side.
Sherwood Park finally has a teahouse, and The Ivy is the kind of place that makes you slow down and breathe.
Opened May 8 at 200 Festival Lane, The Ivy fills a gap in the east-side culinary scene—somewhere to sit with a properly curated cup of tea, order a sandwich made that morning, and actually linger. Everything is made in-house: the bread, the pastries, the syrups for cocktails. The team is that committed to craft.
Weekdays feel like a café: open 7 a.m. to 8 p.m., serving coffee, tea, light meals. The vibe is elegant without being precious. Soups, sandwiches, charcuterie boards, fresh-baked pastries. You can come in for morning coffee or a late afternoon wind-down. The tea selection is genuinely thoughtful—the kind of place that sources from small producers rather than whatever's convenient.
But weekends are where The Ivy becomes something special. High tea ceremonies run by reservation only, and they're the real draw. Imagine: a proper pot of tea, bite-sized sandwiches, pastries, the whole ceremonial experience. It's the kind of ritual that's fallen out of fashion in most cities—and Sherwood Park residents have been waiting for it.
The space itself is intimate and carefully appointed. Elegant seating, delicate decorations. Free heated underground parking for two hours rounds out the package. If you're east of Edmonton and you've been fantasizing about proper high tea without the drive downtown, this is your place.
