The place is charming. The tea was great and lots of options there. The hats were fun. The owner/manager was very sweet and flexible, but service took forever, tea and food took so long to get to us and it's a high tea that didn't include pastries, I had to buy them extra and they were frozen. The sandwiches were fine, but even for tea sandwiches a bit skimpy. My 6 yr old didn't even like the cookie that came with the kid's high tea. She loved the experience because she didn't know differently, but I could have paid the same for something more extravagant with pastries which is what she was most looking forward to...

I live in Seal Beach, Ca., and have brought many of my friends to McKenna's Tea cottage over the years; They have always enjoyed themselves. Lovely ambiance, good service, excellent choice of teas, and lots of other food choices such as: soup, salad, and my personal favorite quiche. Finger sandwiches are always good and served on lovely tiered trays. Many ladies groups come to celebrate such as the" Red Hatters." This past Sunday November 4, 2018, we noticed a young girl with a pretty pink hat on walking toward us but was quickly retrieved by her mommy and back to her group. As I observe the room all parties are enjoying themselves, chatting away and many times laughter can be heard as well. there is also patio dining outside and the weather here in Seal Beach is pretty much sunny everyday. Can you tell I'm a BIG fan of McKenna's Tea Cottage? ABSOLUTELY!

I think with a bit more attention to the sandwiches this would be much nicer. The tea was excellent and we enjoyed the service and setting. While I realize the food which comes with a tea service is somewhat limited, I did find the sandwiches lacking in flavor and variety. For $27 for the Queen Mum Tea I expected something tastier.

I loved this place for the atmosphere and the cute little tea pots and cups. I felt like I was in old England having tea with my friends. But it was a little pricey for the food quality. The sandwiches barely had filling. But since it is a family owned business I wasn’t to surprised by the price points. But they should step up there food quality and put some more filling in the sandwiches.

Cost was high for basic sandwiches that were all different sizes (even the same flavored ones). Tea was good though.
