The Living Room at The Peninsula – 5 Stars Afternoon tea at The Peninsula is pure luxury. From the elegant ambiance to the live harp music, every detail makes you feel like royalty. We opted for the traditional tea set, and I chose the caramel pear tea, which was subtly sweet and fragrant—perfect for a cozy afternoon. The desserts? Absolute perfection. Every single one was beautifully crafted and delicious. The sandwiches were just okay, but let’s be honest—the real stars were the scones. Fresh from the oven, warm, flaky, and paired perfectly with the lemon curd and raspberry jam. If you’re looking for an elevated tea experience in LA, this is it. Highly recommend!
