There are a few things I just have to get: some fresh made scones, sausage rolls, clotted cream, tea and maybe a candy bar or two, or three. They have the violet crumbles which one one of my favorites! However, their homemade items are where it is at! I love their scones. They are lovely. They usually have a few different kinds that have been baked but there are also mixes you can take home to make yourself. They have plenty of different tea mixes and it's nice to try a new one out each time. They also have plenty of imported candies, treacle, tea towels, fun gift ideas and many other things. The store also hosts English teas and I would love to do one at some point. There are many different ones and they make it in house. They also make sausage rolls, meat pies and many other savory items. Great to stop in and see what they have. The ladies who work inside have always been lovely, welcome a conversation or questions and although the store is small, it is packed with great merchandise! You will not be sorry you stopped in!

I've lived in San Diego most of my life and never knew this place existed! Coral Tree Tea House is…read morelocated in Heritage Park Victorian Village in Old Town which is home to 19th century Victorian buildings and this particular building used to be the McConaughey House. Legend has it that it's haunted by the daughter, Mary, which the server told us stories about items being moved, flickering lights, and guests seeing a figure on the second level window. Fortunately, I didn't witness or experience anything out of the ordinary but it was interesting to hear all the tales. This place is super cute and charming and perfect for high tea. I love how the teapots have a strap to prevent the covers from coming off as you're pouring the tea and they have tea warmers heated by candles which I've never seen before which is genius. The decor and setup was lovely and we got to sample three different teas of our choice. I really enjoyed the Coral Tree tea and the Darjeeling. It also came with a tower of cute and decadent finger foods such as chicken salad sandwiches, spanakopita, cheddar biscuit, scones, brownie, parfait, etc. Everything was delicious and I didn't think I would get full, but I was stuffed and had to get a small to-go box. Since the place is small, make sure to make a reservation. The sweet old lady that checked us in was delightful and our servers were warm and friendly. There's parking within the park but there was also plenty of street parking. Just make sure to turn your wheels towards the curb since the street is on a hill and the server told me that you could get a ticket for not turning your wheels towards the curb.

We did the afternoon tea, including one vegan and one vegetarian option, and everything was amazing. The tea was honestly some of the best we've ever had, and the food was just as delicious. It was the perfect amount and left us all full. We split the bill 5 ways and it came out to about $76 (included 6+ person charge and gratuity). Booking was easy but make sure to do it in advance! They even planned out the color of the china that was used to match our birthday girl. They made our birthday girl feel so special by bringing out a cupcake with a candle so we could sing happy birthday. They also let her pick out a pair of earrings as a birthday gift, which was such a sweet touch. One of my favorite parts was hearing about the history of the house and the spirit that's said to haunt it. The ladies who work there shared some fun stories, which made the experience even more memorable. If you're into haunted history or the supernatural, you'll love it. The only thing to know is that it's a very quiet atmosphere, so just be prepared to keep your voices down. Parking is easy, however you will be walking up cobblestone to reach the house. This was my first high tea experience, and it definitely won't be my last. I can't wait to come back!

It's the kind of…read moreplace I bring out-of-town family members, arrange celebrations, or meet a friend for a once-a-year tea. It's not somewhere I go every day, but I love it as a special-occasion spot. The tea room itself is a lovely, feminine space full of antiques, and their mismatched china is charming. Their tea menu is extensive, high-quality, and always changing. The Afternoon Tea is delicious and surprisingly filling. Each item on the three-tiered tray -- the little crème brûlées, savory scones, finger foods -- is tiny, but there are so many of them that it adds up to a lot of food. I've never managed to finish it. They offer two seatings a day, and the Afternoon Tea is the only one you can reserve. They also have a Cream Tea, smaller and less elaborate but just as tasty, available on a space-available basis. They don't have a kitchen certified for gluten-free, dairy-free, or vegan preparation, but I know from experience that if you call ahead, they'll do their best to accommodate special diets. They also host special holiday events -- a Mother's Day tea, and a season of holiday teas from late November through just after the new year. My one wish: I'd love the ability to reserve something smaller than the Afternoon Tea -- maybe a limited number of Cream Tea reservations, or a new "Parlour Tea" or "Petite Tea" option. Right now the only thing reservable is the big, elaborate option, and I'd love to be able to schedule a smaller treat for myself once in a while. I'm thinking of something I could reserve ahead -- so I could plan a day around it -- but that's smaller and less elaborate than the full Afternoon Tea. Five stars, and a favorite place for celebrating something special.

They ran out of large tea pots so took ours and replaced them with small. They didn't come by to refill them, and as we were a large party of 12... Not all the food seemed that "fresh" and was very scone/incredibly sweet heavy. Maybe I've been to tea in England too many times, but they even sweetened the clotted cream. The sandwiches were lackluster at best. Our reservation was from 11-1:30? As soon as 1 pm hit they were packing up our things. OK. That's fine. But why are other tables allowed to stay longer? Our main waitress was very nice and even helped take photos of our group. Overall: come for the vibes amd the tea.

Our personal favorite was the Be Mine Chocolate Strawberry. We had the August menu for our tea. At first glance, you will think the food will not fill you up, but by the time you get to the desserts, you are stuffed! My personal favorites were the cucumber sandwich and mini sausage roll. They offer dairy free, vegan, and gluten free options. Our server was so amazing and accommodating. They explained us through each menu item and tea selection. We had an allergy we forgot to list and were so accommodating to substitute one of the desserts for us. The area we were at was for afternoon tea. It was very cute and for a Saturday, not busy at all. They have another section in the back for themed teas. There is a shared parking lot as well as street parking, so we did not struggle to find a spot. I had an amazing time and wish to revisit for a themed tea next time!

We tried a few of the teas, everyone loved the Buccaneer Black Tea and the Peaches & Roses. The women who owned the business were so nice and we had fun looking around the little shop afterward. We would definitely return to this business.

I can't say I had the interest in going, however that changed and my curiosity about what a High Tea was, and the crowds here at "Tea Time" left me wanting to try it out. This was not just Tea, this was a bounty of tea, they had so many different types and flavors of tea (40+) that you sort of want to try them all, while technically you can as the tea is unlimited, but trust me you won't as the two pots of tea you start with, is a lot of tea for two! Sure, in a larger group you can try a lot more, but it's still a lot of tea. The Grand Tea, High Tea option was what we went with, and you started with a soup, followed by a tiered selection of sandwiches, desserts and scones. I assumed that I would have a snack here and then get something else to actually eat but I was filled to the brim when I left here. This place was full to capacity when we went, but you did not feel encroached on, the owner Louisa, the servers, all amazing, welcoming and nice. I feel like I was a bit unprepared as everyone else was dressed up with little hats, and my wife and I had no little hats! Next time, I will 100% at least sport that little hat, and there will be a next time, absolutely great experience!

But it's nice to look at) They have a legit tea variety.

The Zona Rio location has a small dining area, that is very popular with both the locals and visitors. It is easy to see why. Their menu does not over dose on the standard morning and afternoon items that you would find anyplace. However, this is the first restaurant I've been to in Tijuana, that does not have an English menu.... so I had to labor through the Spanish menu. But, they do have unique dishes, thus making the visit adventurous, because it is difficult to choose. I went back and forth, and finally settled for their 3-egg omelet with asparagus and sheep cheese. It came with refried beans, strings of carrots and beets, small fired up tostadas and fresh tortillas (both blue and yellow corn). A small side of soggy chilaquiles was also served. A small flavorful salsa tray is also provided with 3 options, ranging from mild to hot. The asparagus spears were thin, cut up into small pieces and sautéed with mild spices. The outer egg covering soft and not overdone. If anything, there was too much sheep cheese, in certain portions of the omelet. I say this because it was an asparagus omelet, and it, instead of the cheese, should have been the star. Still, it did not take away from the other commendable aspects of the complete entree and its accompaniments. Before the meal, a small refreshing fruit plate is served.
