Whether its traditional High Tea or a soup & sandwich quick take away, a variety of teas including the world renowned Harney's Teas or hand made tea infused soaps we have a great selection of gifts for you and your loved ones at Mademoiselle Clifford's Floral Emporium & Tea Room.   

We have added some delicious Scottish favorites to our menu.  Haggis sausage rolls served with either mushy peas or Heinz baked beans, Scottish steak pie with mash potatoes and mushy peas, Scotch pie with Heinz baked beans. 
 
 We also want to introduce ourselves and tell you a little bit about the dream and when we started this up.

In April 2009, my dream of opening a flower shop and English tearoom came true when I opened Mademoiselle Clifford in Hudson, Quebec.  5 years later we are going strong like a great cup of tea!  

At Mlle. Clifford, sumptuous locally grown flowers refresh you while succulent homemade scones with Devon double cream and strawberry jam will delight.

We boast a very diverse assortment of floral and gift items. Choose from our most popular items or describe your ideas to our floral designer and we'll create a unique basket or arrangement consulting just for you at no extra charge. Throwing a wedding or baby shower? We'd be thrilled to be a part of your special day.  Either host a High Tea for a wedding or baby shower, anniversary or birthday or we will prepare the flowers for your wedding day, graduation, birthday, Valentine's Day and all the many other events that flowers are the gift.

So come in out of the cold Hudson winter, or escape the heat of the summer.  (free wi fi).  Relax, refresh and spend time with us. Enjoy and we welcome you 6 days a week at Mademoiselle Clifford's.

The perfect match One florist, born in Scotland, trained in Germany and operating in Quebec, has done just that. Picture a flower shop with one wall lined with ribbons and blooms adjacent to another wall covered with porcelain tea cups (with flowers on them, of course) and you’ve imagined Mademoiselle Clifford’s Floral Emporium and English Tea Room in Hudson, Que. When asked whether she considers her business to be primarily a flower shop or a tea room, proprietor Linda Clifford says, “I introduce myself as a Scottish florist who loves tea.” For Clifford, flowers and tea have a lot in common as they are both there to enhance and mark big and small moments on our life’s journey. “Whenever something happens in Britain, a life event or something profound, we put the kettle on for tea,” says Clifford. It’s much the same for flowers: they are also companions to help us mark key moments along the way. 
 
Clifford opened her store five years ago as a florist and then, after six months, added the tea room. Her teas are premium and her scones are incredibly popular. People see her store as a place to congregate. One young woman who regularly came in to sit, sip and knit, met her husband there. You can bet who did the wedding flowers, and the baby shower was hosted there too! 

 Clifford has brought her arranging area out into the open so customers can watch her create an arrangement while they enjoy their soothing cup of tea. The act of giving customers a chance to decompress and soak in the atmosphere has definitely had a positive impact on floral sales. Customers will often finish their tea and pick up some flowers to take with them.  When Clifford asks them if they need a gift card, they’ll often reply, “No, that’s ok, thanks. They’re just for me.” By savouring a cup of tea in her shop, customers are reminded of the importance of being good to oneself, taking time to enjoy a sensory experience. The flowers are a way to take a piece of the shop’s ambience with them when they leave.
And, of course, the tea itself often boasts a floral element as part of its make-up. A custom blended Greenwood tea has cornflower petals as part of its composition to celebrate the blue colour in the Quebec flag. Kyoto Rose tea (created to honour Prince William and Kate Middleton at their wedding) has rose petals as part of its blend.
When we asked Clifford if she felt like she was running two separate businesses, she emphatically stated that they fit perfectly together and run as one. Clifford’s store operates in a town with a large British population, so she correctly identified that there was already a built in audience for fine tea.
