Over decade-old Vancouver tea shop announced closure following lease expiration
Vancouver-based Neverland Tea Salon has announced it will be closing after over a decade in Kitsilano.
“After 13+ glorious years, Neverland Tea Salon’s last high tea will be served on December 31st. We have cherished everyone’s celebrations and life moments and have always been so very grateful for your smiles, patronage and choosing to make us a part of your traditions,” shared Neverland on Instagram.

Neverland Tea Salon first opened its doors in 2013 and is best known for its high tea service.
“We opened with a desire for community, connection, celebration and honouring all dietary choices and from day one you have encouraged and championed and supported our quest. Closing now is with incredibly heavy hearts, but we still have time and plan to push our excellence right up to the very last high tea,” wrote the shop.
“For those curious — our lease is up, the building is scheduled for demolition and in the words of Peter Pan, ‘It’s time to find a new awfully big adventure’!”

Many took to the comments to share how much they’d miss the shop.
“Aww … we love how magical your place was! Will have to book a spot before it closes,” wrote one person.
“This is so heartbreaking. I’ve been coming here several times a year for at least six years. I really hope you reopen elsewhere,” added another.
“This place was INCREDIBLY important to me and my development. It was the first place I called home in my transition to Vancouver. Ive met some of my life long friends and chosen family here and I wouldn’t have changed it for the world. I’m gonna miss just knowing this beautiful establishment is close. But onto new adventures,” wrote a third.
Neverland shared that they expect reservations to fill up fast, so folks should book early so they can squeeze in one final Christmas tea.
