Best Restaurants for Afternoon Tea in La Canada

Our server, Yasmine, was absolutely phenomenal. My friend and I look forward to tea at the Huntington Library every time, but it was made significantly better having Yasmine. She was so attentive and personable; it felt like she was celebrating with us. The food was delicious! Some standouts were the Lamb sandwich, the cucumber, and the truffle mushroom (an accommodation for my friend’s shellfish allergy). We’ve tried many teas across LA, but the Huntington’s is #1.

This is the second time I come here for a girls tea time. Both times have been great! I will definitely be returning in the future. I found the place via Instagram through a friends posting. It looked cute, yummy, and calm, so I decided to check it out. I was looking for a place to catch up with my cousin and this seemed perfect. Very happy I went with this. They are welcoming. They explain to you the menu and how it works. All the sandwiches are yummy. The sconces are tasty! The tea, let me tell you. I didn’t grow up much with tea but u e come to like over the years. However the mixes that Sugarbird does…man oh man, I have yet to try one that I don’t like. Same for my cousins, they never really drink tea but they loved it at Sugarbird. The outdoor seating is cute. It’s in a quiet neighborhood. It’s just very peaceful. For the price, the experience, the tea, and sandwiches/sconces, it is a good deal. Inside the cafe it’s very cute as well. One restroom, and very clean. Parking is on the street, they have some right across from the little alley.

Wonderful afternoon tea at a posh hotel in Pasadena. Sandwiches and sweet treats were magnificent. Our server Margarita was so nice and knowledge about the teas being served. A definite nice birthday splurge. Everything was just lovely.

My friend and I had a lovely afternoon tea on Thursday. The tea, food, and chocolates, were excellent! A special shout out to our waiter, Mr. Sam for great tea recommendations and service! We will be back again soon!

It was a very interesting experience for the afternoon tea. I put down my diet request which was gluten free, no diary, no nuts and sugar. The manager and the kitchen made the special menu just for me and everything was very tasty. I really appreciated their thoughtful hospitality and the professionist. A very elegant and enjoyable afternoon tea.
