I found this place when looking for somewhere I could take my mom for afternoon tea on Mother's Day. I had no idea they had such a nice location in Upland! The venue is small, but super cute and the service was excellent. There were three of us, and we each tried a different tea and none of us were disappointed with our choice...which wasn't easy! They had a lot of intriguing teas to choose from. (I went with the maple oolong.) The finger sandwiches were good, but the scones were excellent! With the clotted cream and jam, I could have eaten three or four of them. Overall, we were really pleased with our experience at Coterie Tea. My mother kept commenting on how much she liked the place, so I'm sure she'll be back with friends and family. If you're looking for a place to have a nice social tea in the IE, this is the spot to go! read more

Enjoyed a lovely Sunday afternoon with one of my oldest friends at this hospitable, festive, cozy tea shop in downtown Upland. It's especially fun to visit around the holidays because of the Christmas decor. Free 3-hour parking close by. Beautiful view of the snowy mountains from the outside street corner. We had a noon reservation for two and were seated at the corner booth right away. The menus are prettily presented inside book covers. We chose the High Tea which includes tea sandwiches, a scone, a soup and salad, a dessert and one kettle of tea. I chose the peppermint chocolate tea and my friend chose the chocolate covered strawberry tea, both seasonal. For dessert I chose the lemon cake and my friend chose the tiramisu. Everything was delicious. The teas were flavorful enough not to add any sugar! My favorites of the food were the tomato bisque soup and the scone. In the back of the tearoom, there's a large crescent moon where you can sit for a photo opportunity, and dress up with a crown, hat, or sash, just to add to the fun memories. read more

My good friend and fellow Yelpie Elite, Coco found this tea room. When we hang out it's usually at a tea house. This one happens to be in downtown Upland. In this economy it's tough to stay open especially when there's another tea room right down the street. I really hope they both stay open . This one is a bit smaller and has a French cafe vibe with outdoor seating. We had reservations but came early and were seated right away. The staff consisted of husband and wife. They were both very kind and helpful but towards the end of our tea they kind of disappeared and it wasn't very busy. She recommended the seasonal strawberry covered chocolate tea and this was the best tea I've ever had. It didn't need any sugar. 10/10. The salad was also very good with watermelon chunks.10/10 The tomato Bisque soup was also very tasty. 10/10. Everything else was average. The tea sandwiches didn't wow me. Some of them were hard from sitting out awhile. This is a great place to bring the girls and have tea party. We stumbled upon their photo booth accidentally as I was taking pictures for this review. The owner mentioned it and took our photo. Bravo! I'll be back! read more

I wanted to do this review quickly after the recent visit here along with my wife. A while back we had tried making reservations for a different tea house in the area and after multiple attempts and them getting extremely rude with me over the phone, a quick search came across Coterie and I am glad it did. The staff here was extremely courteous and kind to us throughout. We had arrived 15 minutes prior to opening and were standing outside taking a few photos when the gentleman working here along with his wife popped out and greeted us. We informed them we had reservations and were early and despite them not yet being open, they asked that we came in and promptly seated us at our designated table and began the service. This was a great start for me as its so rare to find these moments. The team menu is a bit smaller than other tea rooms I have been to but the flavor options were diverse and they also had a large number of decaffeinated teas to choose from as well. Both my wife and I went with the Queen Sheila service which consisted of all the normal fare plus soup and salad. For my tea I went with the Dragonfruit Dream while my wife opted for the Marigold Hibiscus. Both teas were really good but my wife's did ten to be a bit on the sweeter side which she hadn't expected. We were quickly given scones along with cream and jam and I can say these were some of the better scones I have had. I am NOT a fan of scones as they are typically too flaky and dry but these were perfect and full of flavor. My wife also complimented the lady running the place on these as well as she too was pleasantly surprised by these. Both the soup and salad came out next and were absolutely delicious. My wife was a bit confused at first by one of these and almost made an oopsie but she quickly realized the error of her ways and remedied before disaster arose. I will not call her out for her mistake but it was funny and stressful at that moment. The rest of our tower came out shortly thereafter and consisted of an egg salad sandwich, a chicken salad sandwich, cucumber and cream cheese sandwich, a chocolate caramel brownie, a chocolate and raspberry cake as well as some fresh fruit. All of this was delicious as well. The pricing here for the highest tea service we received is $38 per person which was quite reasonable for everything we received. I would definitely come back here for another service. The staff was also very accommodating with any questions any patrons had as well. Please note that they do not offer gluten free or vegan options but vegetarian options are available for those who want it. This was a for sure win for me. read more

I came here back in November for a friend's birthday and I loved it! This cozy tea house has limited seating so we sat outside on the patio. The owner and her staff were very attentive and explained the menu and different tea options to us. They have three different tea service options to chose from- each includes a pot of tea and then various menu items; each option building on the last. You can have different scones and sandwiches to choose from- all of which are delicious. The tea variety was wonderful as well. I was pregnant at the time and the owner was so sweet speaking to me about my pregnancy and even took my picture on the cute moon cutout they have inside! I can't wait to come back to try more tea and delicious sandwiches and baked goods! read more

This place is disappointing... I called allllll week to book a reservation and no one called back or even answered my phone call (number on Yelp). On the voice mail it clearly states to TEXT for reservations. After not getting any confirmation, I decided to walk in. The hours say 11am.. when I got there it was closed Sunday at that time. I came back at noon, and they finally opened.. mind you they had no clients.. I asked if they took walk ins and they said they were completely booked.. I let the man know that I had tried to make reservations all week and no one answered. I literally wanted to cry, since it was my friend special bday. They NEED to update whatever system they are following. This place would be more successful if they did. As a restaurant owner myself I would never want to turn away business because of lack of communication or incorrect hours. read more

What a lovely place with an even more lovely owner! My bestie and I are huge fans of tea houses, and she's had her eye on Coterie for some time now. Jeannette (the owner) had recently moved to this larger location, and my bestie was able to snag us a last-minute reservation. Most reservations require a minimum of 2 weeks out to book, and you text to request your date and time slot. Our tea date arrived and we were pleasantly greeted by Jeannette and her husband upon our arrival and were seated. The menu was presented to us in a book, which is a unique idea! We had fun going around the table seeing who had what novel. We ordered "The Coterie" ($29 per person) and "The Versailles" ($33 per person). Everything was DIVINE! We absolutely loved the yummy tea selection as well. Our top tea recommendations are the maple creme oolong and the sweet honey green tea. The tea room was decorated in an elegant manner and felt very relaxed. Jeannette came around and chatted with us, which was such a joy. She's an incredibly talented and kind woman and we're so happy we found and had the pleasure of enjoying her tea room. Highly recommend and we look forward to returning. Thanks, Jeannette, for a happy and memorable visit. read more

Coterie Tea & Eatery - Tea Rooms Near Me - Upland, California

If you are looking for a cozy, intimate tea room with deliciously yummy homemade food for some quiet reflection and heartfelt sharing--this is it. I love that the food is lovingly made according to the mood and inspiration in the moment with careful, meticulous thought and preparation. I spent some time living on a vintage main street on the East Coast and have been looking for that feeling again of slow, strolling nostalgia and gentle sentimentality here in Los Angeles. The attention to detail to everything is incredible and amazing. You really feel the emotion and the intention of the owner. My friend took me here and we had The Queen Sheila Tea, which was $38 per person. I'm not sure what I loved more--the rich, crumbly, yet silky and smooth scones or the melt-in-your-mouth toffee that I kept nibbling. Everything was very very good and we chose the tea with rose and vanilla and a caramel macchiato. So, if you need a moment to allow yourself to slow down and reflect and heal, I know you'll find it here. This tea room would also be great for a small private party to share those milestone moments. read more

I have been wanting to come by this really cute tea shop for some time now. This morning I finally had a chance to make it as their hours said they are open at 11. I walk by and see a closed sign that says they would return at 11:25. The time was 11:30. The gate wasn't locked and tables were set so I thought maybe they forgot to change their sign, no big deal. I walked up and the door was unlocked. I walked in and was rudely greeted by a man saying their sign says closed. No accommodation for any information other than the sign says closed. It was so unwelcoming and disappointing. Rudeness dressed up in sweet décor is not my cup of tea~ will not try again. read more

A few weeks ago, I attended a friend's tea party hosted at this lovely tea room. It's a very small quaint place with the storefront holding about 4 tables that can seat 2 - 8 people per table. There is an outside patio that would seat more. We were part of a private party so we didn't see a menu as everything was part of the event. We enjoyed 6 different types of teas (chocolate mint, earl gray, marigold hibiscus, madasgascar vanilla rose, marigold passion black, red rooibos chai), each tea was served in a different style teapot which was really nice and it helped us keep track of the teas. Some of the teas were nicely pre-sweetened with just the right amount of sweetness. The procession of the food began with a refreshing salad, tasty tomato bisque and then the beautiful tri-tier treats included tea sandwiches (roast beef/cream cheese, egg salad, cucumber), chocolate chip & cranberry scones with jam and real clotted cream (my fav), lemon coconut cake, chocolate brittle and lemon bars. Everything was delicious and delightful. In the rear of the place, near the restroom there is photo opp with stars and moon...they also had props so we all had a little fun taking pics. The friendly husband/wife owners served us and were very accommodating. At the end of our gathering, she joined us for prayer which we all loved! We will definitely be back to enjoy an afternoon tea. read more

I visited today and was very delighted! I really enjoyed the scones and the sandwiches were delicious as well. My pallet would have preferred a little more salt to the chicken sandwich but nonetheless it was still tasty. On the fruit tier, we were served grapes which were just starting to over ripen and strawberries that needed a little more ripening. The tea was great and the service was very friendly! I got the maple crème tea which I really enjoyed and my guest got the chai which was lovely as well. Today was a warm day, in the 90s, and my guest and I were quite warm in the tea room. We didn't mention this to anyone so I'm not sure if they would have been happy to lower the temperature or if it doesn't cool too well in there. I would recommend going on a cooler day. Finally, the decor was so cute! I really loved the ambiance of the place and again thought the service was very friendly and just attentive enough! I would happily come back and support this local business :) read more

Had Tea Time w my cousins and this place is one of the cutest Tea Houses I've been to. Even the restroom was decorated so cute! Elegantly decorated from the front to the back. Prices were great, also. This place really makes you get into the High Tea feels. The tea room is ran by a lovely lady, unfortunately I didn't catch her name. It's a one woman show and she runs it really well. She only takes reservations; texting her will get you the fastest response. Food was yummy. But let me tell you, the tea was AMAZING!!! She blends them herself but she's not selling her mixes yet. Hopefully, some time in the future she can. Because, OMG. Those tea flavors we tried (hibiscus flavor blend, passion fruit blend, and a Madagascar vanilla rose tea blend). Mmmm... Lots of parking, too. read more

In Old Town Upland, this quaint wife-husband owned and run tea house offers a warm and whimsical space. They are small business owners who thrived by adapting to unexpected times. They make their own scrumptious food- tea sandwiches, scones with clotted cream, & jam, and desserts, which included bread pudding using the crust from the sandwiches. They make blends of teas creating some of our group favorites like Toasted Caramel Crème, Madagascar Vanilla Rose, and Dragon Fruit Dream to name a few. The tomato bisque soup was just right. Soon their business will offer beer, wine and charcuterie boards. We are looking forward to returning. They were gracious hosts who checked on us often. It's beautiful to see small business owners' success in the neighborhood. They took incredible care in guiding me through the reservation for a group of 10. We drank, we ate, we laughed, and we smiled. Thank you, Coterie Tea & Eatery, for making my birthday a special experience! ~Sincerely, one gentle writer . . . read more
