- CCarolynSan Francisco Bay Area •3 reviews5.0Dined 5 days agoAn adorable setting tucked away in San Juan Capistrano. Perfect for a relaxing and delicious lunch with some girlfriends. I'm not usually a lady who lunches, so this is the best treat. The Triple Crown Salad is out of this world. The scones are delightful. If you go in cooler weather, bring another layer if you're going to sit outside since the veranda is shaded.More infoThe Tea House on Los RiosPrice: Expensive• Afternoon Tea• San Juan Capistrano•4.8
