Best Restaurants for Afternoon Tea in Monrovia

What a beautiful atmosphere, service, and the food and tea were delicious! I’ve been wanting to have tea there for years and it did not disappoint.

I consider myself quite the Tea connoisseur, enthusiast, and steepster (insert cheeky laugh). We had made reservations through OpenTable to try this place out some time ago. Upon arrival, be prepared to valet your car. The lovely entrance welcomes you to a special day.. It's the perfect setting for your Afternoon Tea. Tables down in the (I call it) Solarium portion of the Lobby Lounge are made up of the traditional 2 or 4 tops - combining a couch with 2 chairs and your Afternoon Tea spread placed on a coffee table. Excellent scones - moist and never crumbled when we spread the lemon curd and clotted cream on them. I would say the sandwiches were perfect! The bread was so soft, and the fillings were plentiful. My favorite was, by far, the Chicken Salad. They prepare Tea Leaves (out of Canada) Tea OMG!!! The Vanilla Earl Grey and the Thunderbolt Darjeeling have always been my favorites from Tea Leaves, and I was thrilled to see them here. I'm excited to return! Respectfully Reviewed.

Sam our server was the best! Made our tea time extra special.

I took my mom and abuela to this High Tea and had the most beautiful experience! First off, the ambiance of the hotel was very nice, quiet, and relaxed. I picked this location over other tea houses because it had the elegant look I wanted for my abuelas birthday. We all dressed up in cute dresses with tea hats and didn’t feel out of place being dressed up here! When we arrived, they had our table sectioned off with privacy screens, it was a nice touch to make the experience more intimate! Our server was very polite and helpful! Most of all, the chef Layla came out to tell us what was on the menu for our tasting! Everything was absolutely perfect! The food is served in small bites, but don’t be fooled, all 4 of us were so full we couldn’t finish everything! Every bite was delicious, I was especially happy with the yuzu egg salad bites, so creative and perfect bright flavor! I’m 100% coming back for more, thank you so much to the staff for making it a memorable experience for me and my family!! Love it here 🥰🫖🍰

The whole experience with the beautiful tea cups and plates and the live viola, made the experience so wonderful and one to remember.
