    Beautiful place settings-
    Nancy E.

    Such a delightful celebration! Thank you all for making my sister's birthday celebrations so special! Such a hot day! I was actually dreading going to tea to celebrate my sister's 66th birthday! I was so thrilled to open the door to The Chado Tea Room and find it wonderfully air conditioned! We were seated promptly and our waiter was wonderful as we were missing one sister- who unfortunately was running late. Greeted with a Champagne tea and delicious chocolates- so good! We perused the menu and choose the Birthday Tea. Such a delightful choice of food items! Scones, jam and clotted cream, tea sandwiches galore (cucumber, egg, chicken to salmon) and the sweets! Chado has an amazing selection of teas - my sister had the Birthday Tea blend which she truly enjoyed. Our waiter at the close of tea presented my sister with her very own tea cup and saucer to take home as a momento of our special gathering! I really want to thank The Chado Tea Room for making my sister's day so special!

    I took my wife here for a afternoon birthday tea date. We ordered the alice in wonderland tea set and the birthday tea set. Quick shoutout to our server Sam (I hope I heard his name right) who accommodated my dietary restrictions and made sure to check often that everything was going great including food. The food was great and better than I expected compared to other afternoon teas that I've been to. One thing I noticed was how consistent they were with the toast. Just crispy enough on the outside yet the inner side was still soft. And that was for every sandwich that we ate. The scone was quite filling and bigger than I had expected. The cream and jam really helped with the flavor to contrast the scone texture. The desserts were as expected and everything went really well with the tea (a black tea and a white tea) that we picked. It was 100 degrees outside and the AC inside was strong enough to make hot tea feel like a perfect drink for our small bites. Overall, incredible experience and my wife was extremely satisfied. Happy wife = happy me. Service was also exceptional, which is one gripe I usually have with most food spots. We will definitely be back to try other sets on the menu.

    We had an afternoon tea for my birthday here and it was amazing! I chose the birthday tea menu with a lavender earl grey tea and my husband ordered the Chado Afternoon menu with jasmine tea - both our orders tasted great! Sam, our server, was very welcoming and ensured our first tea room experience went well. Sam also sent us home with cute little teacups with matching plates. We will definitely be going back again!

    This was a lovely place to celebrate a birthday! We sat outside and really enjoyed the atmosphere. The pastries were absolutely delicious, and the soup and salad were fresh and flavorful. The only things that could have made the experience better were the service details. On such a hot day, I wish the staff had recommended the iced tea or other refreshing drinks. It also would have been helpful if they had explained how the ordering process worked, as it wasn't immediately clear. I'd also love to see a few more dairy-free, vegan, and gluten-free options in the future. I know that's not their main focus, but it would make the menu more accommodating. Overall, we had a great experience and would definitely return.

    My friends brought me for my bachelorette and I loved every item. Our server Sam, was very attentive and made our stay ever more special. The space was elegant and gave off a cozy vibe. I loved the elephant tea pots and the taste of the food. Strawberry fans rejoice. Will definitely be coming back!

    We ordered the Chado Afternoon Tea Service ($35 per person) & I would say that this is a VERY good price in comparison to other places that I've been to. Our server Sam was the absolute sweetest & he also gave us a complimentary drink! This place is the perfect space to host a fun event!

    A cute, dainty spot to enjoy an afternoon tea service. I appreciate that they offer affordable afternoon tea services here. Chicken sandwich was bit dry but overall service was great and the place is decorated very nicely. I had a nice time catching up with my girl friends.

    We visited Chado Tea Room for the Bridgerton tea experience and had a lovely afternoon. The ambiance is charming and cottagecore, making it a great choice for a bridal shower, baby shower, or special outing. The Bridgerton package was a fun touch, and Sam provided excellent service throughout our visit. The tea was excellent, and the warm scones with clotted cream were the highlight of the meal. My only wish is that the food matched the quality of the tea service. The sandwiches were fairly simple, and the pastries felt like an afterthought. For our anniversary, the staff kindly surprised us with ice cream, which was a thoughtful gesture, but it tasted fairly generic. Overall, you're paying for the experience, atmosphere, and tea service rather than the food itself. That said, we did leave with a tea set, which made for a nice takeaway and souvenir from the visit.

    Such a cute tea experience! I took my younger cousin here and she loved it. All the dishes are cute, I love the presentation of the food, and the interior is really pretty. The staff is also kind. Very kid and adult friendly. The only feedback I would give is that the food was just OK tasting to me. Nothing that absolutely WOWed me, but was still alright.

    This was my 1st Tea Service and it felt like I was living my little girl dream! Sam was so attentive and made the experience perfect! Everything was so yummy. Will definitely be coming back Next week their Witching Hour Tea will begin, perfect for the festive Halloween time!

    The celebratory afternoon tea menu was perfect, it was a wonderful experience and I definitely want to come back! The service was prompt, I felt well taken care of. It was a lovely, tranquil environment in the store.

    I loved this place! Was amazing from start to end. Sam was really nice; the food, the tea, everything was exceptional. I wanted to try a tea experience like this for a long time, I think I just found my place. I'll definitely come back. Thank you Sam!!!

    Went to Chado Tea Room this past weekend to celebrate a friend's birthday. They had the Bridgeton special that weekend and it was the last week of that theme. I made a reservation two weeks in advance since this place is busy during the weekends. The waiter gave us the Bridgeton set menu and asked what tea we wanted. I opt for the Benedict's Artist Palette while my friends got the Violet's rose garden and Penelope's Hibiscus Chamomile. I would say the Violet rose garden tasted the best. The finger sandwiches were fun to eat and was able to try out the different kinds. The scone was dry but with the cream, it was really good. Also, we were provided gloves and fans with the high tea. The tea cups and tea pots were really detailed and pretty. There is no free parking in pasadena so we parked at the parking structure.

    Do you do a Christmas tea during the holidays?

    Hi there! We will release limited edition teas and specials during the holidays. Make sure to follow us on socials to stay updated for any announcements!

    Does this location accept cash?

    Hi there! All of our locations accept cash. Thank you!

    How large of party can it hold?

    Hi there! For precise information regarding the maximum number of guests each location can accommodate, it's best to contact the specific Chado Tea Room location you're interested in. You can reach out through the private party inquiry form on our… 

    Is there a Mother's Day tea? Or a way to reserve the Celebration Tea? I was able to book a reservation for 5/11 at 11am, but I didn't see any choice of event or anything. Thanks1

    It's best to book with them directly instead of booking online as I have seen people have problems with making reservations online. Also, if you call them, they might be able to tell you if they have any special menu for Mother's Day in the future.

    Is this near downtown Pasadena? Walking distance to shops? A good area to walk around in after tea?

    The tea room is in Old Town Pasadena, surrounded by plenty of shops to explore. While street parking can be a bit of a treasure hunt, the Old Pasadena Marriott Parking Lot is a great spot to safely tuck your car away!

    Can I bring a cake or dessert for a birthday celebration?

    Absolutely! We do offer plenty of desserts in house. However, if you still wish to bring your own cake then there is a $25 cake cutting fee associated with outside desserts.

    Best Parking option?

    Street metered parking or the parking structure on union.

    Is this a kid friendly location for special events?

    It depends on the types of kids you have. Obviously there's porcelain tea pots everywhere, it's a tea house so everyone is there for a calm and relaxing experience. But I brought my 10 year old son and we had a wonderful time. If you have a group of… 

    Are you open on 1/1/2024?

    Hi Julie, We’ll be closed for NewYear Day.

    Do you have non dairy milk options for the tea?

    Yes we do, we provide almond milk or oat milk

    Are you guys open from 10am? Because online it lets me make a reservation for 10am however on your website it says hours of operation start 11am? If I showed up at 10am will someone not be there?

    Hello, usually we are open at 11am; however, we are opening a little early for Mother’s Day.

    Do you sell crumpets?

    We have scones with cream, preserves and lemon curd, but we don’t have crumpets.

    Wanted to do a tea party themed bday for my 6yr old, maybe 10-15 people in total, is it kid friendly or more for adults?

    Eeek Is it all girl party or a coed party? If it's little girls, they might like it because it's like a "tea party" But I think 6 year old boys would be bored.… 

    What'a on the gluten-free menu?

    For vegan or gluten free options, we request that customers call prior to their visit to notify us of their dietary needs so our team can discuss available options with them

    Is the afternoon tea service available all day? My reservation is for 11:30am.

    I've gone at all times of the day at both locations and they have had it :)

    Do you offer a vegan menu or options for your tea tasting?

    For vegan or gluten free options, we request that customers call prior to their visit to notify us of their dietary needs so our team can discuss available options with them

    Which location has outdoor seating?

    The Pasadena Chado location has a lovely outdoor patio.

    How do you make a reservation here? I've called two locations and no one picks up. I tried using their website reservation system and I haven't gotten a reply either. Are they still open?

    Hi Rachelle, yes we are open, sorry for not getting you a response sooner, you can make reservations anytime here: https://www.chadotearoom.com/reserve-on-opentable

    Do they have tea tasting menus or is everything a la carte? Or where can I find the afternoon tea sets?

    They have some great tea and chocolate tasting sets. I strongly recommend jumping on Groupon to see what deals they have. The deals change frequently.

    Do you have to make reservations? Can you walk in?

    We do allow walk-ins but we recommend reservations, especially for the holidays or weekends

Since we were in the area, my husband, our little girl dog and I decided to order our drinks online and then just pick up in store. Although this is our first time visiting this location, we are no stranger to Sunright in general and typically have had positive experiences with their drinks. We ended up ordering: Mango Jasmine Tea, $6.25- I ordered this drink for my husband to be made with no ice and 50% sweetener. This drink was too sweet. It tasted like it was made with 100% sweetness. Matcha Latte w/ Pistachio Cheese Foam, $6.95- I ordered this drink for myself to be made with less ice (as no ice was no ice was not an option) and 25% sweetener. This drink was also very sweet and so I ended up added hot water to it when I got home to dilute the sweetness. --------------------------------- (Total= $13.20, tax included) After ordering, I had received a text message within 8 minutes letting me know that my order was ready. I was rather disappointed with my order and so was my husband. Although the flavor of the tea drinks itself was fine, the level of sweetness was just too sweet for us. I am not sure if the employee had just given us 100% sweetness or not, but this isn't typical of our experience at other locations, including Arcadia and San Gabriel. I hope this was just a one time error and that it doesn't happen again. Please note that the employee who gave us our order was friendly and she also seemed very happy when she saw our dog with us (as most people usually seem to be in spirits when they see her).

We ordered for pickup for 1 Thai Tea with boba. My partner loved it; the amount of boba they put in was a great ratio to Thai Tea. It wasn't overly sweet like some other spots we have tried. I tried 2 different drinks because I don't like ordering the same thing every time. I tried the strawberry slushie. I enjoyed it very much the strawberry flavoring didn't taste like chemicals like some places make it. It was perfect for a hot summer day. The next drink I tried was the mango jasmine tea which I thought was delicious. It had the perfect mango flavoring that wasn't overly powerful as you can still taste the jasmine and tea. Only gripe I have is the location. They are in prime time real estate on Colorado. Which makes parking more difficult as you can't pop in and pop out with to go orders. The employees were extremely friendly and apologetic about how difficult it was to find it when you try to park. There are 2 different parking garages to park in that area and walk to them to save yourself the hassle.
