    This was such a beautiful and memorable experience. This visit was actually a spontaneous idea, and none of us regretted it for a second, it turned into one of those moments you're so glad you said yes to. From the moment we walked in, we felt welcomed and cared for. The atmosphere was warm, cozy, and thoughtfully put together, making it the perfect place to slow down and truly enjoy the moment. The service was wonderful, and every detail felt intentional. It was our first time visiting, and it absolutely won't be our last. We loved being able to spend quality time together as friends--laughing, connecting, and making memories in such a lovely setting. We left with full hearts and can't wait to come back. Highly recommend

    Beautiful atmosphere. Greeted right away. Amazing sandwiches and tea. I tried the Happy Green Tea and the Purple Tea. The scone was delicious as well. The clotted cream and jam made me happy. The staff made the experience memorable. I will be back. I recommend you come.

    Joined two friends here got Sunday tea and sandwiches. This is such a charming tea room!! I'm so happy we went. Was greeted by the owner and he seated us soon after arriving. We received an extensive menu of teas, sandwich choices and anything else, such as sides that you may want to add to your to tea experience. Each table is set with cute teacups, saucers and a small plate to put your items on. My friends chose the wild raspberry tea and I chose the lavender rose. Both teas were served in beautiful tea pots. Next came purchased that comes with the meal...mixed greens, topped with feta, blueberries and walnuts served with a balsamic dressing on the side (great idea). Soon after our sandwich service came. Two of us ordered chicken salad sandwiches and smoked salmon, one gal ordered the salmon and a turkey sandwich. We all agreed that the sandwiches were incredible AND filling. We also received a an awesome scone with clotted cream and jam and a nice sized plate of mixed fresh berries. For dessert we had a choice of a chocolate chip cookie, a lemon lavender petit four and something else. We also got a refill on our teapots (bottomless pots!) Service was outstanding, food was over the top and the shop is adorable. BTW...the owner purchases the baked goods from local bakers and he makes the clotted cream for the scones himself!! Loved this business!!

    So we went back and checked out the menu again. The decor looked absolutely luxurious and elegant. The service was friendly and helpful. The young woman was a delight and the man with the Mad Hatter hat was cheerful and helpful. We tried the Afternoon Delight! This meant endless pot of tea as long as you kept it to the same tea blend. The three tier tray included one sandwich cut into halves, fruit, mixed salad and a choice of desserts which included shortbread, lemon bar, cherry bar and one other dessert which I forget. Each one was delicious! The scones were perfect!! Great flavor and top had a light crunch which is exactly what a scone should be! The chicken salad sandwich didn't have those weird hamburger pickles and the person who ordered that sandwich LOVED the flavor!! The salmon and cream cheese plus the roast beef with horseradish and cheese was very good, but the plus in all the sandwiches was the bread was NOT DRY and the fillings were delicious!! This price for each tea service is very reasonable and worth the money!! This is a wonderful place to just chill and enjoy the afternoon by yourself or with a friend or two! They do have specials, but really don't need to because to be honest, their prices are very reasonable. Brentwood is privileged to have a tearoom as good as this. Their prices, their food and the huge selection of delicious teas is worth every penny!! As a community, I hope people will discover this gem! I know I will be back and enjoy more teas, scones, and other things.

    Fun decor!

    Such a good time with my momma today! The team here is so sweet and clearly explained eveything. The tea is FANTASTIC! And so varied! There's something for everyone. Even uncaffeinated tea if caffeine isn't your thing. My personal favorite was the Yerba mate pineapple guava tea. It's so cute in here and would be perfect for a bridal shower or baby shower.

    Cute set up!

    Such a cute place! My family and I had a lovely time enjoying the tasty nibbles. My husband and I each ordered the afternoon tea and our daughter the de-lite special. We all agreed the food was delicious. I'm bummed I didn't photograph the tower of food. The presentation was perfect! We are tea house regulars so it was nice having a location closer to home to enjoy. Considering they were short a server, I felt the service was good. We will definitely be back.

    Everything about this place is absolutely amazing. The food, the service all of it. I am so exited to come back. Thank you!!

    Having found an afternoon tea place in Brentwood was so exciting for me. Though the tea shop is located in a plaza that one would not connect with afternoon tea (typically afternoon tea shops are located in more posh area of town/city) , the interior is truly whimsical and cozy and reflects the spirit of afternoon tea. The owner was very friendly and attentive. We all ordered the $40 per person afternoon tea. This combo came with a salad, two choices of sandwich, fresh fruits, a biscuit, a dessert, and of course bottomless tea. I am a Rooibos tea drinker so the owner recommended their special seasonal apple and cinnamon tea which comprised mix of rooibos. It was excellent and very smooth and the cinnamon and the other spices did not overpower the tea. Through my 20 + years of visiting various afternoon tea shops all over the Bay Area, this is the first time I was able to finish the entire pot because it was that good! I like that the teas served here are not teas I can easily find in the local markets or on Amazon because I feel going out to enjoy tea is all about experiencing unique teas and this place delivered! The food portion is the most generous that I have seen at the price range. I have never felt so full after a tea brunch because most tea shops are not generous with their food portions. The owner definitely made us feel we got our money's worth and more. I really enjoyed my chicken salad sandwich. The sandwich was not only big in size, had plenty of chicken, but also rich in flavor yet not too heavy. I also chose the smoked salmon sandwich. The flavor was good but a bit too salty for me. I like that the sandwiches were made with different types of bread to keep things more interesting. The biscuit was a twist from typical scones served at tea houses and I enjoyed it. We also were served a lot of fresh blueberries, strawberries, raspberries, blackberries and grapes!! The variety of fruits given is unmatched! Dessert I chose lemon tart. The lemon filling had a good balance of sweet and tartness and I love that the crust tasted like a graham cracker crust. The service staff was attentive and not intrusive. They seemed to know just when was the best time to come and check on us. All in all we had a terrific experience and I will definitely bring more friends back!

This place is super cute and radiates the best "good vibes" the East East Bay has to offer. I stopped by after hiking over at Los Vaqueros Reservoir, and it was the perfect post-trail reward. Here is why you need to go: * The Service: Evette is an absolute gem! She is wonderful to speak to and such a kind, welcoming person. She truly makes the experience special. * The Matcha: Their iced matcha with oat milk was delicious--perfectly balanced and refreshing. * Dietary Heaven: They are incredibly inclusive with vegan and gluten-free options. The Bingka was fantastic! It's so rare to find gluten-free treats that taste this good. Whether you're a local or just passing through after a day in nature, I highly recommend stopping in. It's a great atmosphere to relax and refuel. I'll definitely be back!

The place looks really nice now--such a pleasant spot to sit, enjoy your treats, and relax, especially with kids. The ice cream is always delicious, and we absolutely love their affogato. I was also amazed that they go by cups--we got a lot for the large cups, which felt like great value! I did want to share a small piece of feedback about our recent visit. In the past, water was available in small jars, but now it's set up in a larger dispenser. After ordering ice cream, we went to grab some water, but it had run out. I let the staff member in front know, and she kindly explained that they were out, which I completely understood. However, another staff member suddenly commented that there was no water and that if I wanted some, I should buy and pay for it. It was a bit surprising--not because of the policy, but because of the tone, which came across as a bit harsh. Maybe she was just having a bad day, which I can understand, but the delivery didn't feel very welcoming. I want to emphasize that I have no issue paying for water at all; in fact, I planned to go back to the car after ice cream to get water since we parked nearby. It was just the way it was said that didn't sit well. I didn't say anything at the moment since I understand everyone can have off days, but I do think consistency in how customers are spoken to is important--others might not take that tone as lightly. When I sat down, another staff member came over and offered my family water. If you happen to read this--thank you. Your kindness really meant a lot to us. Overall, we still enjoy coming here for the great ice cream, generous portions, and the cozy atmosphere. Sharing this as feedback because we enjoy this place and would love to keep having great experiences here.
