Tea Room Review
This tea room, now in its twelfth year, is one of the most established in Southern California and for good reason. It's long been considered the best value around with wonderful scones (I actually embraced the concept of 'chocolate chip' scones because of theirs), traditional sandwiches, the best quiche I've eaten (sorry, Paris) and perfect petit fours. It is also the most efficient while still accommodating tea room I've visited, with virtually build-your-own menu options and very prompt non-obtrusive service
