    Such a fun experience! The food was better than Huntington tea room for value. The harp player was lovely. I loved hearing pink poney club bridgerton style.

    Such a beautiful restaurant! Food was delicious, they only have pre-fixed menus. They had live music and also gave me a little treat for my birthday. The lady playing the harp was amazing!

    We opted to enjoy tea in the front court yard of this beautiful Architectural building. Outside on a beautiful afternoon in Pasadena was sublime. We stayed longer than we should and showed our appreciation in our additional gratuity. Don’t wait, go, experience the luxury of tea in-the-afternoon.

The ambience was lovely with the harpist who played a lovely mix of recognizable songs, the food was delicious. the bathroom could use a little updating but over it was extremely cute and charming, the service was super friendly, intuitive and i was happy to give an extra tip at the end of our experience. very lovely!

    So much fun! Definitely a place to get dressed up and take the cutest photos. The tea was so yummy, the food was also really good. I would say be aware it can get pricy fast, as there is a mandatory minimum purchase of 40~ dollars per person. Though they are understanding if someone isn’t hungry and doesn’t want to purchase anything. I myself ended up spending 60$ for an eggs Benedict + tea + scone. Overall, it was a fun experience especially for the birthday!

    Overall a good experience! My boyfriend was overjoyed to have an afternoon tea experience. Unfortunately the waitress made a weird comment about how he was eating slowly, but other than that the experience was nice. Overpriced but IMO worth it for me.

    Had the opportunity to have first time experience at this venue. I enjoy the ambience and the service. The food is like an appetizer, however it cost a lot for little bites other than that the experience was wonderful. For those that have not gone before be prepared to pay a high price for appetizer food. I know it's about the experience just surprised how this pricing was set up.
