Highly recommend this quaint tea house. Reservations required. Prices typical for afternoon tea service. We began with mimosas with apple cider. And teas: peach was a group favorite with vanilla spice as a close second in my opinion. The salad dressing was very good, as was the tomato soup with red pepper. The finger sandwiches were delicious, I especially enjoyed the egg salad and red pepper. And desserts were delightful. The service was great. Terry is funny and cool and super helpful. The beautiful brick building is decorated to accentuate the historic details. After, we shopped their antiques and each found a few items to take home. read more

We treated my son and DIL to an afternoon tea here to kick off the holiday season and it was perhaps one of the best (if not THE best) afternoon tea service we've ever experienced!! Everything was flawless - from the holiday vibes and stellar service to the scones and sandwiches! I booked online for the holiday themed full afternoon tea for Thanksgiving weekend several weeks in advance and luckily squeezed in on the Saturday. Booking online was easy and straightforward. I received a friendly call very soon afterward from owner Terry to confirm and secure a time. The original date I wanted was already full so I'd advise to book well in advance if you have your heart set on a particular day. And I believe Terry also provided our tea service on the day - I can't say enough about how warm and attentive he was! Exemplary service! Our place settings were beautifully decorated with Christmas poinsettias and set such a festive tone from the minute we were seated! Terry explained the process and gave us a rundown of the teas and food orders. Since there were four of us we received two pots of tea and it was way more than we could drink! The pots are very generous and did an impressive job of keeping our teas hot! We chose the Coconut Chai and the Spicy Vanilla - both were delicious and we all agreed we would happily get these again. After getting settled in with our tea, out came the first course - a lovely homemade roasted tomato soup and a salad with a delightful homemade onion vinaigrette. The soup was incredible- we all loved it. After we cleaned our plates, Terry brought out a seasonal pumpkin white chocolate scone with clotted cream (made in-house and to die for!) and a delectable cinnamon maple butter. Hands down one of the best scones and cream I've ever had! And last but not least - our three-tiered tower of heaven arrived!! Two tiers of finger sandwiches and a top tier full of more sweet bites to finish us off. There were four sandwich flavors: chicken salad, egg salad, roasted red pepper, and cucumber. All homemade and all absolutely divine! The bread was soft as velvet and the fillings were full of flavor with smooth textures. The dessert tier was also phenomenal! There were three types: beautiful holiday petite fours, pieces of sinful chocolate fudge, and a miniature spiced holiday cheesecake. I'm not a huge fan of fudge but theirs was lovely! All of it was to be honest. This will be the afternoon tea service that I compare all tea services to going forward haha! The building itself is also spectacular. The tea room sits in a beautiful historic classical revival brick building from the early 1900s that the owners lovingly restored to reflect that era. You'll find it in Old Town Upland to further add to the historic vibes! And they've decorated for Christmas with such flare - you could spend all afternoon looking at the decorations and still not be able to take it all in. They have a small gift shop in the back of one of the dining areas - but unfortunately we couldn't get to it bc of guests being seated directly in front of it - so I was kinda bummed but I'll just have to check it out next time. Parking is free street parking in the surrounding area but there's also a free public lot across the street. We didn't have any issues finding a spot. Initially I thought the holiday themed tea was a tad pricey at $49 per person - but after the experience I honestly can say I feel it's totally justified and I wouldn't hesitate to visit again. Tysm Terry and staff for a wonderful holiday memory for me and my family! read more

This is a wonderful place to get together for a British afternoon tea. I met a few friends for the high-tea service (some were not available, hopefully we can return and share the experience with them). Thank you, Te-see, for making the reservations and sending the payment for confirmation. The owners pride themselves on providing excellent customer service in a quaint Cafe atmosphere. They decorate for each season and holiday. The High-Tea is approximately $40 per person and includes two teapots, baked scones, finger sandwiches, homemade jam and Devomshire cream, lemon curd and dessert pastries. Note 1: Full Tea Service for $5 more will include soup and garden salad. Note 2: Wine, Champagne or Mimosas are available $10-$15 per glass. Note 3: I adored the antique furnishings and the little gift shop by the fireplace where you can buy vintage clothing and jewelry or a teacup and saucer to take home. 5 stars in service 5 stars in menu 5 stars in ambiance/decor 4.5 stars in tea flavor could be more robust Sincerely, Rosemary read more

I love afternoon tea and was excited to try this place as it came highly recommended by a Yelp friend and I saw that it has ton of 5-star reviews! Making reservations was easy, I entered my contact info on their website and received a call back to schedule my reservation. I had the option of booking indoor or outdoor seating, and normally I would love to sit outside, however with the weather being so finicky lately (either really hot or unexpected rain), I opted to sit inside to avoid any uncomfortable temperatures. The restaurant decor was cute and decorated in fall colors. There were lots of Disney themed items and cute details throughout. It is a bit much for me personally, but I can see the charm. Overall the most bizarre tea experience I've had. The main thing I remembered from this experience was the condescending way our server Terry acted. I wish that Terry would communicate all his rules and expectations upon arrival. I honestly think he tries to be friendly, but he comes off as being insincere and smiling for him seems forced. He seemed to be a stickler for rules and seems to gets anxiety for any deviation from his rules. We arrived to our 11:00 am reservation a few minutes early. As I never had been here before, we followed another party through the side entrance since the main door wasn't open and there was no sign about waiting until the doors were unlocked, so we thought the entrance was through the gate as we saw a lot of people there. We were told by Terry to exit and wait at the front door until they opened. Strange, as most places will probably check you in and ask you to wait until your table is ready. When the doors finally opened, we were seated immediately, we placed our orders and then got up to use the restroom and look around while we waited for our tea to arrive. We were then told by Terry to return to our seats and that we could look around after our tea service ended. ??!? I couldn't believe we were being reprimanded for looking around... We received our scones, fresh and warm from the over. They were delightful and the best part of the tea. There was lemon curd and clotted cream, but in such a small amount. However, I was scared of asking for more in fear of being reprimanded again. The sandwiches were ok, the tea was ok. We had the Buckingham Palace black tea and the Maple Ginger herbal tea. The Maple Ginger was really fragrant and good, the Buckingham Palace tea was on the weak side and very pale for a black tea. I wish it was more robust, so I was a bit disappointed with that blend. I asked about refilling the pot and Terry was said that we needed to angle the lid on top of the pot to indicate that we needed a refill because "that's how they do it in Europe". Ok, didn't realize we were on European rules here. Once again, a little communication before hand would've been helpful. My friend and I both felt uncomfortable and awkward about our entire experience and do not plan to return. read more

High Tea has been a Royal tradition for centuries and continues to hold its place amongst tea lovers. For decades I have had the pleasure of experiencing this tradition at many tea houses all over the world and today I finally made my way here after the rave reviews on Yelp. As soon as I stepped inside I was swept into my Nana's living room. It was filled with the most beautiful vintage tea paraphernalia, clothes and jewelry. There were two rooms set perfectly for afternoon tea. I loved the Fall decorations, the hat boxes and vintage coats. The owner Terry, greeted our group and sat us at a table for 4. We loved it! Service here was impeccable! The staff were busy serving many tables and a few large parties and didn't even sweat:) They checked in on us many times which was appreciated. *We all ordered The Regular Afternoon Tea ($36 each) which came with: 2 Pots of Tea - We Picked: Buckingham Palace (Black Tea) & The Orange Passionfruit (Herbal Tea). The Tea was my least favorite...It was not strong enough and the herbal tea had no flavor at all:( *Homemade Baked Scone w/Homemade Jam &Homemade Devonshire Cream ~ 5/5 Vanilla Bean with Ghirardelli White Chocolate Chips...YUM! *An Assortment of Finger Sandwiches - (chicken salad with dill 5/5, Egg salad 5/5, Cucumber 5/5, Red pepper Cream Cheese 5/5 *Assortment of Homemade Desserts ~ scrumptious! Opened just before Covid and has been thriving ever since. The outdoor patio is available but on a hot day I would recommend sitting inside. You can feel the love that went into this tea house...every tea cup and tea pot tells a story...Many were gifted to Terry from his grandmother who had a Tea House in Paris... *3 Hour parking on the street & in the lot across the street *Great for bridal showers, baby showers, birthday's and just because! read more

I've seriously wanted to come here for years! I've seen the photos from others who have been here and it has always looked so cute and fun. So when some friends of mine suggested afternoon tea here, you better believe I was all over that! Terry served us and was so incredibly sweet and helpful. All the staff was great and jumped in to help all the parties that were there. The decor is awesome. They also have a cute little gift shop and sell local honey. The Regular Afternoon Tea comes with two pots of tea (we got Buckingham Palace and Orange Passionfruit) a homemade baked scone which was vanilla bean blueberry with Ghirardelli white chocolate, homemade strawberry jam, homemade Devonshire cream, homemade lemon curd, and an assortment of finger sandwiches and homemade desserts. The tea needed to be a little stronger for me--as a result I didn't add any sugar or milk. Terry did make one pot stronger, so I think adjustments can be made if you need it. But the food was incredible! The scone was so delicious and the sandwiches were all really good--hard to pick a favorite. I'd definitely come here again! Thank you, Olde Magnolia Tea Room! And thank you to my friends for a lovely afternoon! read more

I have been to afternoon tea at multiple places over the years and this is definitely one of the best! Terry is an amazing host and his staff is well-trained and very attentive. Compared to other places, (closer to the Los Angeles area), this was very well-priced. I would recommend bringing cash as they do charge a fee for credit card usage, but they will take Zelle too! Beautiful ambiance, delicious homemade sandwiches and sweets. I'm not a tea connoisseur, but I enjoyed everything our group tried, which was about 7 different types, (we were a group of 7). The peach tea was my favorite I really appreciated the clear, concise information found on the website, and Terry was responsive and accommodating! read more

My daughter and I finally made it to The Olde Magnolia Tea Room and it did not disappoint! We'd heard about the charming Disney touches -- and yes, they're there -- but don't worry, even if you're not a Disney fan, there's plenty of beauty and charm to enjoy. The owners are truly the sweetest and so accommodating, making the whole experience feel extra special. We loved the special fixed holiday menu -- it gave us the chance to try sandwiches we might not have picked ourselves, and now we're hooked! Be sure to wander through the antiques for sale -- such unique pieces that perfectly match the cozy, vintage feel of the tea room. You never know what little gem you'll fall in love with. And let's talk about the bathroom for a second -- hands down the cleanest and cutest we've ever seen. When even the restroom has decor worth admiring, you know you've found a place that puts heart into every detail. Before you leave, do yourself a favor and grab a jar of their citrus lavender honey. Pure. Magic. Between the cozy ambiance, lovely decor, and genuine hospitality, this spot is a little hidden gem worth visiting again and again. read more

This tea room located on the corner of 1st and 9th is stunning! The brick facade and white columns invite you into a renovated antique Victorian home. There are 2 large separated eating areas along with an outdoor "garden" area. I love the crown moldings in the place! My friend is on a mission to find good tea rooms in the area and she found a gem! Our server was one of the owners. We chatted with him a bit. Service was great. We got the Full Tea. Everything here seems to be homemade and it shows! My favorite was the Tomato Bisque soup. It had a smokey flavor. I could've had another bowl! Owner made his grandmother's recipe of shortcake cookie. It was shaped in a teapot. We were given a choice of tea selections. We chose the Buckingham palace and Orange Passionfruit. I enjoyed the Buckingham palace. It's a black tea with a hint of jasmine. Know that it comes out in big pots. Pick flavors that you both would like as one pot was too much for one person. read more

Located in historic downtown Upland with a free parking lot (3hrs) across the street. Lovingly decorated and curated, this hospitable tea room is a feast for the eyes and tastebuds. I met up with my friend who also loves tea. We reserved a full tea for two, and chose the Orange passionfruit and the Buckingham tea for our teapots (you're allowed more but honestly one full teapot is enough per person, so choose wisely). My favorite of the day was the tomato bisque. It was creamy and rich and satisfying. The scone with homemade lemon curd, Devonshire cream and raspberry compote were amazing. All the tea sandwiches were savory and delicious. Each homemade dessert was scrumptious as well. One of the owners' grandma had a tea shop in Paris. It is no wonder he was inspired to have his own tea shop someday. Well done, sir. Be sure to check out the claw foot bathtub in the bathroom and the little gift shop as well as the garden patio while you're here. We'll be back! read more

Simply put, There's nothing like it!! LOCATION: located in Downtown Upland, right off the 10 fairly convenient to get to. Tons of street parking and there is a parking lot across street where we parked at. Parking is never an issue except could be busy on Saturday. FOOD: Delicious and fresh! Farm to table, my favorite was the scone and the tomato bisque. The sandwiches were unique in taste and the tea was refreshing! Classic afternoon tea and I don't think there is anything like this in all of IE or local areas. Food didn't take long as we were one of the first people there, great pace to enjoy! SERVICE: Terry one of the owners is awesome. He called us to make reservation, if you are doing it on a holiday or special day, call way a month in advance if you can! Great customer service and always checked on us. The lady at the front desk who was helping was friendly as well. We did the full afternoon tea for $44, so be prepared to spend over $100. The Olde Magnolia Tea Room is a great and exclusive experience that's one of its kind, highly recommend you try it out and meet Terry! read more

I booked Afternoon Tea here because this was highly recommended, even though it was out of the way. It's definitely worth coming back. At first glance, the dessert bites look super tiny, but rest assured that everything is fresh, delicious, and made in their kitchen. The desserts aren't meant to be scarfed down but savored. I had plenty of tea; huckleberry tea has a light, sweet, fruit taste. This place appears to be a popular pick for birthday party celebrations. Lots of 3 hour street parking nearby. read more

Although I kept hearing great comments about this place for quiet sometime, my very first time was last 11/8/25 and I was at awe! From the moment I walked in, I felt being transported to a bygone era, when the world was still celebrating holidays in a "good old-fashioned Christmas." From the Christmas décor to table linen, to tea pots, it captured the good old days. Making reservation was easy. I called, left a message, and voila! Terry returned my call, immediately. He gave me the menu and I pre-ordered our food. Terry and Michael were awesome: they are very friendly, charming, and welcoming and treated us, as if we were their long lost friends. And the food, especially the soup, homemade by Michael, was so yummy!! And the Holiday Apple/Caramel tea makes you want to come back for more. Don't be fooled by the small bite size of the sandwiches, they are delicious and filling. We even have to take some home. It was a great experience and we will definitely returning to the Olde Magnolia Tea Room in Upland, hungry for more. read more

This was my second visit at the Olde Magnolia Tea Room. My girls and I go to Tea once a year when my granddaughter who lives in New Mexico comes to town. We've been doing it for years, but the place we used to go to closed after Covid. We tried another local place before discovering this one, and we loved The Olde Magnolia house so much last year that we decided to come back here again this year. If you want to know what makes this place stand out from the others the answer is simple--everything! The food, the decor, the service--everything is impeccable. You really do feel like you're having tea with the ladies at the royal cottage. Even the bathroom is fancy! I wish I had taken a picture of it with its Victorian decor-- there is even an antique tub in there. And the food is absolutely delicious, as are the teas. We had the raspberry, the ginger guava, and the caramel apple teas,and all were great. Our server, Terry, made certain that all our needs were meant and even made suggestions for picture spots. Although the place was literally full ( which lets you know how good it is) services was never lacking and we didn't have to wait for anything. All in all, as I said last year, I think we've found our new permanent tea parlor. read more
