Best Afternoon Tea Restaurants in Hawthorne / Gardena

Took my aunt for her birthday. We loved everything. Great service, great food!

Have been to this tea numerous times and generally always enjoy it and feel satisfied. The tea sandwiches are always good. The tea selection was excellent, multiple delicious sounding black tea options. Don’t need fruity or green teas for high tea imo. The room is gorgeous, a fountain in the center. They used to have some couch seating but I don’t see it any more, just tables and chairs. The service was on point, we were the first ones there but our server brought things out very quickly which was nice. Everyone was friendly. Be warned parking/valet at the hotel is $30+ but you can prepay cash $25 and save a little.

Great food, tea and ambience! My sister and I very much enjoyed our tea time! It’s was a nice little getaway away from all the hustle and bustle of LA life. Located conveniently in the city, there was plenty of parking. We loved it and will be back soon.

Ambiance was the best part of this Chado location in Little Tokyo. Service was a bit slow as there was only one host and one server on a weekend. Tables were spaced out enough to have quiet conversation with your guest/party. Sit outside for the best atmosphere. What would have elevated the experience: a thoughtful, brief rundown of each type of tea and history of Chado.
