Tea Room Review
      Did you see the pictures of this Victorian gem? They don't begin to show the care and love that Jim and Carol Cox have poured into this beautiful turn-of-the-century home over the years. No wonder it has been filmed, photographed and had more bodies and brides walk through it than any other tea room in Southern California. Each room is dressed for tea in a different color scheme with vintage chandeliers, custom Victorian-style murals with playful 3-D embellishments and cooridnating furnishings, wall & window treatments and linens. And now in its 13 year, the Victorian Manor has brought all its food & beverage in house with everything from soup to dessert and their Cordon Bleu certified quiche made fresh on the premises.
