Wonderful experience! Food and tea were so good and the service was incredible. Our waitress gave us a thorough rundown of all of our options and answered all of our questions. I came with my 1 year old and they made sure we were outside by a heater and at a large enough table that he couldn’t mess with our food and tea. The tea house itself is beautiful as is the food. I will definitely be back again soon!

We love this place, we drive from Long Beach to Dana point just to eat here. Bri’s service was amazing and timely, and as always the place was vibrant, but not noisy with welcoming staff. Will come back always.
