About Tiny Tim's Tearoom
Tiny Tim's Tearoom is a tea and coffee shop on St Margaret's St in Canterbury, serving traditional afternoon tea in a dining room with first floor seating and window-side tables. Pastries are handmade on site, and the scone of the day changes, with a plum scone and cheese scones among the options. The scones themselves run to the size of a grapefruit and sell out daily, with some bought to take away. The kitchen also runs a full all-day breakfast of two sunny-side-up eggs, oat toast, bacon, sausages, mushrooms, tomatoes, and beans, alongside Tiny Tim's own golden, floral-flavoured tea. It is a walk-in tearoom with no table reservations, and it opens daily.

Customer Review Summary
Reviewers repeatedly single out the oversized scones, plum and cheese versions, described as bigger than any they've seen elsewhere and reasonably priced around £8 for three. The signature tea and a full all-day breakfast also draw praise for a light, floral character and generous portions. Several mention the cosy, historic dining room. One reviewer advises arriving early, since scones reportedly sell out quickly.

“A lovely café in a beautiful historic building with plenty of character. The place has a great atmosphere, the food looked delicious, and the staff were friendly and welcoming. It’s definitely worth a visit if you’re in the area. I look forward to coming back and trying the food myself next time.”

“The name may conjure up notions of this being a tourist trap with over-priced, low quality food, but it is anything but! Pastries are handmade in the restaurant and are very high quality. The scones are about as big as a grapefruit, and …”

“Get there early, they sell out of scones pretty quickly. Worth the visit, we were 2 people and we shared 1 scone together. Biggest one I ever saw! Tasted delicious.”

“We got some scones to take away, two plum and one cheese. They were the biggest scones I’ve ever seen, and reasonably priced, around £8 for all three. We had them at home later. Absolutely delicious, very light and fluffy.”

“This tea house is very cosy and has a classic atmosphere. I was seated on the first floor, and the window-side table was especially nice. I ordered the full all-day breakfast, which included two sunny-side-up eggs, oat toast, bacon, sausages, mushrooms, tomatoes, and beans. I also had Tiny Tim’s signature tea to go with my breakfast. It was quite special — a golden colour with a light, floral flavour. The scone of the day was a plum scone, which really surprised me. It was larger and heavier than those in most bakeries or tea houses, and it felt like it was made with plenty of ingredients, making it rich and satisfying.”
