I am so obsessed with this place. It feels like such a hidden gem. It's never too crowded while having a great tea service right in the middle of Hollywood. read more

Cute place, definitely can dress up and take cute photos here. I do Not drink tea ever. Not my thing but since we were here i ordered the s-365 white champagne raspberry. If you're not a huge tea drinker i recommend getting that one. The ice cream with macaron and strawberry was a nice combo. read more

Chado Tea Room - Smoked salmon - Tea Rooms Near Me - Hollywood, California

A friend and I came here for afternoon tea recently and we adored our experience! The shop is so cute -- I love the teas lining the walls and the subtle nods to Alice in Wonderland. We actually had the place to ourselves since it was 11am on a Thursday, which was lovely, but I do hope the shop gets busier sometimes since they deserve to! It's tucked away inside Ovation so perhaps people just don't realize it's there. I liked that there are a variety of tea services to choose from, and everything is individually done, so your party can enjoy different high tea experiences if they choose to. My friend and I both selected the classic tea, which included a scone, four sandwiches, and a variety of desserts, plus a pot of tea. I chose the Birthday Tea, which was floral and delicious, and presented in the most adorable elephant-shaped teapot! There was so much food we couldn't finish it all. I especially liked the smoked salmon and the egg salad, the chicken salad was a bit too dry. The scone was tasty and the cream was delish. I would highly recommend coming here for afternoon tea, especially since it's fairly inexpensive and the service is fantastic. I can't wait to go back! read more

My friend and I went to Chado Tea House to simply celebrate life and catch up after watching Bridgerton S4. We're so lucky that they have a special Bridgerton theme set which was perfect. I got the Benedict Blosson Tea and My friend Got Sophie's early (name probably not correct but that's what i remembered). I was in awe on their selection of teas. Our set came with a fruit cup, bubly n/a berry sparkling drink, our teas (which was brewed properly) then our food tower. The server gave us a fan in the middle of our set and a cute mug as part of the package. We super enjoyed the experience. The only thing to note is that we thought they serve alcohol like champagne/ prosecco but the server informed us that the staff does not hold lisence but the store does. A little bit of bubbly alcohol won't hurt. Will definitley come back . Fyi: Parking is validated for 2 hours. We went a week before Oscars some roads are closed. read more

For celebrating my end of radiotherapy, I take my dear neighbor to a high tea time. It is the affordable tea room in Los Angeles, and it is worth! The food is tasty, the tea I got was really good, the ambiance is cute and cozy, the service is great, friendly, you can spend time slowly. I think bit is a hidden gem in the middle of crazy street of L.A. read more

Hundreds of teas to choose from! Cute space and best part is that you can order a pot of tea to drink with some food for a legitimate afternoon tea session! I'd make a reservation ahead of time just because it can be busy at times. I ordered the Celebration Afternoon Tea and it comes with a good amount of food: soup/salad, scones, sandwiches, and sweets! I was full after so worth the price! I went with the Birthday Tea which was a lovely floral black tea and paired well with the foods. Loved the teapot and all of the fancy plates. Definitely try it out and great to do before a show in the area! read more

This place is all about the tea and the tea selection is phenomenal. And who knew there was a tea called St. Marc and that it was super delicious?! I shall be getting some of that soon. We wound up doing the afternoon tea service and it was delightful. Comfy atmosphere, great service and some of the best teas we've all had. The food is good, but I did have some issues with the sandwiches. We all really loved the scones and jams and the other sweets, and while the sandwiches all tasted fine, it was way too much white bread and not enough filling. I usually don't eat white bread anyway, but if I am going to, I need a lot more in between the sheets, as it were. That's really my only gripe. I would come back, but maybe just for tea and scones. read more

I haven't been to this place for the past 7 years. I've been to other locations. This place is very special to me since this was the first place my daughter and I had our afternoon tea in LA. Since I'm taking my friends daughters first afternoon tea experience, I thought of this location. We came in last Wednesday, Feb 11 and booked for 1045am. I called in ahead of time to ask if they have gifts to include on this reservation, she said yes. I asked to leave it by the table so it would be a nice surprise for the birthday celebrant who was 9 yrs old. We came in and eye excited for her and there was no gift box on the table anywhere we looked. I asked the lady and she said "you're 15mins late and I thought maybe you went to another location and since you're 15mins late it's good as cancelled." I couldn't believe it. She assumed everything and didn't even bother to give us a a courtesy call. She was rude and her personality doesn't belong to this business Good selection was okay but that whole attitude of hers totally ruined our experience. On top of this, we were the only customer for the past 2hrs we were there. read more

Loved our experience! Calm, beautiful and yummy. Greatly enjoyed the Halloween special. Only note was that the Halloween scone was a little hard but was very yummy. Alexis was absolutely love and so thoughtful. Fantastic service. Look forward to visiting again read more

I would give this place a couple more stars if it weren't for the receptionist with the red hair and glasses. Normally, places like this should know how to explain the menu, but we were left figuring things out on our own and we felt like a bother asking this server for help. There was a point where I can see her sighing deeply and rolling her eyes. Annabel was the highlight of our stay at Chado Tea Room. She was way more engaging, respectful, and eager to ensure that we are well taken care of. The sandwiches and tea were delicious and the overall ambiance is relaxing and very Disney-esque. The deserts were a total miss since I feel like they're store bought. The gift bags were a nice surprise, but I feel like there are other tea places in LA that can provide a more elevated experience worth paying for. read more

Came here to celebrate our anniversary and had the Celebration Afternoon Tea. The food was surprisingly filling, and the Mauritius tea with the warm scones ended up being our favorite part of the whole set. It was our first visit, and Sam was the one who helped us. He was super friendly and welcoming, made a few suggestions that actually ended up being spot-on, and checked in without hovering. Really appreciated that. The place is clean, cozy, and has a comfortable vibe for just sitting and enjoying tea especially since it was raining out today. We'd definitely come back and would recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxed tea spot. There's plenty of street parking and shopping in the area once you're done with tea read more

Amazing place for tea and some food. What an assortment! I used to go to Chado Tea room on Third Street - years ago - and love visiting the current location(s). One of my favorite sandwiches is the tea smoked chicken read more

I'm a big afternoon tea kind of girl. I have my favorite place but have been wanting to branch out to find new places so decided to check out Chado. Beautiful interior highlighting their vast tea selections and tea pot collections. We opted for the chado afternoon tea service with lavender earl grey and lychee green tea - both delicious and the green tea served in a glass pot garnish with beautiful florals. We added the tomato basil soups because of the high remarks and it was tasty but the side of untoasted thin white bread left me wanting more. As for the sandwiches I think a better thicker bread could give them more substance. The sandwiches are the same thin white bread making for a very thin sandwich. My favorite as for flavor was the punjab egg salad. The scones were good but very dense, I started getting full on those and decided to move onto eating the sandwiches before I completely maxed out. Overall a very cute place but sandwiches need some work :( read more

This was my second time visiting a Chado Tea Room, but my first time at the Hollywood location! I booked a reservation weeks in advance, and luckily, it wasn't too busy because it was just our luck that our reservation landed on a rainy day. The customer service was great; just like how my first visit was at the Pasadena location. The staff were so attentive and accommodated to our dietary needs. My friend and I enjoyed a good tea time. We got the Chado Afternoon Tea Service, and to be honest, the food wasn't like the most special thing in the world, but it paired well with the teas that we chose - Butterscotch and Earl Grey Imperial. The Butterscotch was deep and sweet while the Earl Grey Imperial was light and floral. My favorite food items in the Chado Afternoon Tea Service were the scones with strawberries & cream and the Punjab sandwich. Also, the ambiance, china, cutlery, and decor of the place really elevated the whole experience. In my opinion, Chado Tea Rooms are on the more affordable end for tea rooms around LA, so I'll definitely return for another special occasion! read more

Chado Tea Room - Earl Grey Imperial - Tea Rooms Near Me - Hollywood, California

Wife and I are self-proclaimed tea snobs, and this place offered an opportunity to take a break from a weekend at Universal. It's located in a mall right on Hollywood BLVD, so it's definitely an interesting area to walk around and take in some sights. The location itself is okay. It was unfortunately too cold to sit outside on an early February day, so we settled for the inside seating. Both inside and outside are slightly limited. Even if you have a reservation, you might want to budget the possibility that your seating preference might be unavailable. The teaware is pretty and fun, see the elephant tea pots with fun charms that help keep your tea warm. As for the service, it definitely felt just little busy for the two employees to keep up - although they did their best. We ended up just doing a couple pots of tea. The Gyokoru Green Tea and Milk Oolong. It's not uncommon to find places that incorrectly steep green teas in particular, but this place gets high marks there. For those of you thinking "what's this crazy person on about" - If you steep teas for too long or at in incorrect temp, they taste bitter. I got the vibe that she was a bit offended when I asked, but I've been hurt before and it it took a while for the pot to come out after we ordered. That was definitely a recurring theme (things taking a while to come out) but it was pretty jumping and they acknowledged it so no worries. Tea's not really something you need to chug if ya'll doing it right. Milk oolong was nice as well but I was really impressed with the green. Of course, this is a tea room, so the next question dear readers may be, "what about the foods"? "Where's your pics of the requisite multi-level tray with various sandwiches, scones, etc., Mr. Tea Snob". To that I would say "Mr. Tea Snob was my father - just call me TS. J/K, my dad is in no way a "Tea Snob". Anyway, we didn't want to do the whole production but just opted to try a scone with their Chado cream. Unfortunately, this part didn't work out very well. The first problem was that the menu suggests they have an "Orange Apricot" scone. Turns out the menu is just not formatted well, and they instead offer a Cranberry Orange scone (that didn't end up tasting very orange-y. The cream tasted more like whipped cream than clotted cream - which she suggested it would taste like. We ended up asking her if we could send it back and take it off the bill, which she did. So bottom line, if you're looking for well steeped and high quality tea, as well as fun tea pots and china, this is your place. If you're looking for amazing foods and super-quick service, maybe not so much. read more

Cute ambiance you can sit inside or out. I was there for an event so not sure if they have gluten free items. That wasn't offered so I didn't get to sample any eats. The teas are amazing.

The decor and ambiance are so elegant and perfect for photos. The waitress was also very friendly and attentive. However, I find the tea here to be bland. The scones were really dry and hard, I only ate half of it. The sandwiches and desserts all tasted like they were bought from a grocery store, dry and tasteless. We didn't even finished the food we ordered and nobody took the food to go, so you can tell how bad they tasted. The food here is ready disappointing. By the way, you can get validated parking $4 for the first 2 hours, so that was convenient. read more

Had a tea tasting with a group for a friend's birthday. This was my first time having this experience. The environment is quiet and very polished when seated and having tea brought to you in tea cups and small plates. A variety of scones and small tea sandwiches companied a selection of 4-6 teas shared with the table. Lite and filling. The only thing that was odd was the lighting currently is having major flickering issues. It made it a little fun because this happen to be Halloween weekend, but I'd hope after October the lights get straightened out :) read more

There are several of these around Los Ángeles. I've been to this one and a location near Little Tokyo in Los Ángeles. This location has about 10-15 tables so reservations are recommended especially for peak times. The hostess certainly was friendly somewhat accommodating once we had a reservation in their system. The food is geared to relaxed snacking on some sandwiches and deserts with great teas of many possible varieties. My only suggestions is avoid decaffeinated teas as they just don't seem as special as the others. I wouldn't expect a full formal tea but the ingredients are good. This location is at the Ovation Mall near The Japan House and is a nice stop after a visit there. As mentioned before, the seating is a bit limited so we sat outside which on a cool winter day was nice and not much mall related foot traffic. Outside seating loses some of the ambiance but is more open air during a COVID spike. read more

Chado Tea Room - Smaller place, but still a broad selection of teas. - Tea Rooms Near Me - Hollywood, California

CHADO TEA ROOM is probably one of the places that still offers full service afternoon tea at an affordable rate ($35/person) ... and still have fantastic teas! The eats aren't out of this world but it was super fun to eat here with the kids, their grandma, and other family. I was full afterwards, but I think I was the only one who finished my portion. Nobody else finished theirs and they still got full. Parking is very convenient at the Hollywood and Highland underground parking complex. Despite the fact that they were understaffed (according to the lady helping us), they managed to serve everyone in a timely manner. read more

Cute decor and amazing ambiance! My friend & I split the afternoon tea set, and it was the perfect amount for two people. We had the butterscotch black tea which was also delicious! We came during the holidays, so everything looked festive and adorable (with Christmas themed backdrops, Christmas trees, etc). My favorite was the scone -- warm, buttery, and flaky! The server was also very friendly and checked in on us multiple times. The only con was that it was on the pricier side, but that's to be expected for a tea room located in Hollywood. Parking is validated for 2 hrs in the complex. read more

This place never disappoints. Perfect place for my Grandmother and I. We hadn't been around each other since COVID and this was the perfect place. It was nice and quiet and wasn't crowded. The scones were soft fresh and so good. I chose the apricot and my Grandmother had the cranberry. I had the spinach cranberry salad without the chicken. The lychee green tea was beautiful and it literally bloomed it the Teapot! It was so beautiful. The tea didn't need any sugar and honey it was perfectly sweetned. I ordered some tea to go because I'm a huge tea drinker. The tea service is very affordable and service is very friendly. Highly recommend for family or catching up with friends. read more
