Like Olympic swimmers and Gremlins, tea leaves only reveal their true power after being dunked in water. Unleash hidden strength with today’s Groupon: for $15, you get $30 worth of café fare at Willow Creek Station Cafe and Tea Parlour in Beamsville.

Willow Creek Station Cafe and Tea Parlour brews traditional and specialty pots of tea to pair with classic morning, midday, and evening café bites. The menu overflows with loose-leaf luxuries, such as orange-blossom oolong, scottish breakfast, and Bourbon Street vanilla rooibos (each $3.50/person). Diners can opt to snack on the quiche of the day ($10.99) or hand feed robot companions a hot shaved sirloin-beef sandwich ($9.99). Weekend mornings are garnished with delectable plates of omelettes and home fries ($7.50) or three thick slices of cinnamon-battered french toast ($8.50). The recent addition of a dinner menu ushers in warm evening fare such as smoked-salmon dip served with crostini ($8) and a tangy pulled-pork sourdough sandwich ($12). Graceful quaint decor and soft golden walls greet patrons and provide a cozy backdrop for late-afternoon reflection or Ouija-board tournaments.
