My friend and I came here for afternoon tea and once again it was wonderful. The tea service is good, the food is fresh, and decorated with a lush display of flowers, and our waitress was perfect! Dave, the owner, showed us some beautiful photos he had taken of some CO. wildflowers, and he was a fun and informative host. When I come here for tea, I feel as if I am part of his tea family! The service, warmth, and friendship you feel here is like on other tea house I have been to. The Aubrey Rose is truly an oasis in a busy, hurry, hurry world.
God Bless and Thank You Aubrey Rose.

Excellent tea party!! My daughter had a tea party for her 4th birthday and it turned out great. Everyone was impressed with the different tea flavors, food, and the display with fresh flowers, the beautiful cups, pots, decor everything was beautiful and very dainty. There aren't many tea rooms in San Diego this by far the best one.

I went to their Celtic tea two days ago. The food, speaker, and book were fantastic. This is my favorite tearoom in San Diego County. Thanks Dave and Lorna.

Truly, one of the best tea rooms I have visited and I have enjoyed this tea room on more than one occasion. AubreyRose is the epitome of a classic tea experience. Everything is prepared and presented with finesse. All of the delicacies, scones, tea and flavored ice water are superb. I have entertained two of my best friends here and we plan to make it our special retreat to renew our friendship whenever we can get together. Along with the tearoom, the shop boasts one of the most extensive collection of tea cups, teapots, lovely books and accessories that I have seen housed in one location. AubreyRose is without a doubt #1 in tea rooms. Enjoy the experience...you will be happy you did...it is the ultimate memorable tea with staff that treat you like the Queen herself.

I am from Green Bay and was at the Aubrey Rose on May 1st, 2008, with my daughters. I had never been to a tea room before and I am still raving about it! What a calm, ralaxing way to have fun with my girls and eat the most scrumptious food! Perhaps the gal who is looking for a sausage roll would find one in Green Bay; they are called brats!

My four year-old son and I met some friends for high tea today. It was our first tea together. Warmly greeted, we waited for our friends to arrive and enjoyed peeking at all of the beautiful china and antiques. We were seated at a very compfortable table, and my son had a special place just for him with perfectly sized china and utensils. My food and tea were excellent, by the way we tried about 6 or 7 teas! I loved the attention to detail, garnishes and all. A special thanks to Pat and Lourna for your graciousness and pampering! Thank you for making us feel welcome and at home!

The Aubrey Rose is by far the most delightful tea house I've ever had the pleasure of experiencing!! Absolutely everything is..in a word..PERFECT! Every little detail is top notch from the personalized Welcome Card on your table, to the fresh flowers on the table and on every serving plate, to the unique way the bill is presented. The food and teas are wonderful, the presentation is unsurpassed, and the service is totally professional and caring. You have to visit the Aubrey Rose to fully be able to appreciate the detail, the artistry, the uniqueness, the warmth, the privacy, and the intimacy of this charming and relaxing tea room. Plus, there are so many lovely items for sale tucked in and around the room. Lorna, the owner, is just adorabe. You can tell from the moment you walk in the... (more) door that truly her heart is in everything that she does and hers is definitely a labor of love. It was my friend's birthday and she was presented with a lovely rose corsage as well. On a scale of one to ten, in my opinion, the Aubrey Rose just tipped the scale over on the high end. I can't wait to go back again, and if you enjoy this sort of ritual as an afternoon tea, then call today to make your reservation....you'll be glad you did. Thank you to everyone...you just made my heart happy today.

I went to this tearoom by myself to get a few hours away from the fast pace of everyday life. The owners Dave and Lorna, were so kind to me. They had a pretty place for me all set and it was just beautiful! The teapot was so beautiful and the cup 7 saucer sublime. The flowers were fresh and the food was A-1 as always. They gave me one of the best pot's of tea I have had in a long time and I left feeling so relaxed and ready to face the daily grind once again. The Aubrey Rose is truly an oasis in a world of hurry. I read some wonderful tea books, enjoyed my tea and food and left feeling wonderful. This tearoom is truly tops! I just can not think of a better place to visit for a restful afternoon. Thank you Lorna and Dave. You two & your staff, are just the best. I wish you nothing but the best in all your tearoom activities. BRAVO!

My husband and I just want to congratulate Lorna and Dave for such a first class tea room. The atmosphere is SO inviting, the food was spectacular...on a par with any hotel I have ever had tea at (and I'm an English girl so I know my teas!) The presentation for Valentine's day was photographic, Thonya our waitress was extremely knowledgeable about the teas and food and the owners understand the value of excellent customer service. Next time we are in La Mesa we will be back!! Thank you for a wonderfully romantic tea!

My friend and I were so disappointed! We had read the reviews and were looking forward to something special. The tearoom is very highly feminine but smelling STRONGLY of garlic. The tea itself was excellent. However, the food was sickly sweet - even a sweet croissant with a chicken salad that tasted sugary. Only a couple of triangular sandwiches - I was looking forward to at least four and perhaps a sausage roll! More traditional fare! Do not go unless you want a nasty sweet taste in the back of your throat all day!

My sister and I are residents of La Mesa, and we often pass by the Aubrey Rose Tea Room as we are walking our dogs. We finally asked if it would be possible to have tea at their outside table so that we could sit with our dogs. They were happy to allow us to do so, and the entire experience was wonderful. The Queen Victoria Tea menu was outstanding, and the service was very pleasant. I highly recommend the Aubrey Rose Tea Room, and if you are like us and enjoy having your small, well-behaved dogs with you, request the outside table. Your dog will love it!

The Aubrey Rose is the best tea room I have ever been to. I have gone to other tea rooms and I always find myself compairing them to The Aubrey Rose. My friends who have come with me find themselves doing the same thing as well. We love love the food and everything about it. We just wish we could go more often. Thank you for always making our experience so wonderful.

I went to this tea parlor for an X-mas tea, with a group of 48 ladies. As always, it is just tops!!!! The service is A-1. The food is wonderful and best of all is the relaxing time away from everyday worries. This parlor is truly the best tea room in San Diego County. This parlor is lovely!

This is a REALLY delightful tea service... Actually, my husband and I did Afternoon Tea at Aubrey shortly before High Tea at the Ritz (in London) and found Aubrey's to be of similar quality (though, of course, lacking the pomp & circumstance) - Very Delightful!

I took my mother and grandmother to the Aubrey Rose for lunch and as usual every expectation was surpassed. This was my grandmother's first time to this establishment and she was very impressed. Each time I visit here the owners not only greet my party upon arrival but check back about half way through our event. There is always some accoutrement I simply can't live without. Each bite and sip is worth every dime spent.

We celebrated my mother's 72 birthday at The Aubrey Rose Tea Room. We had a wonderful time. The service was outstanding, the other guests were very polite and even volunteered to take our pictures (with our cameras). It is always hard to remember that you have to relax in this environment and not get in a hurry. After we relaxed, we were able to enjoy the beautiful ambience (they have a huuuuuggge collection of beautiful gifts and decorator items).
Lunch arrived and it was beautifully presented. None of us went away hungry. The food was good. We were surprised at the amount of sweets we were served. We didn't even need the fresh scones that were served for dessert with curd, jam and cream. We were also surprised at the variety of savory fare we received.
Thank you Aubrey Rose for the beautiful rose you presented to mother. (It was grown in one of the owners' garden).
You made the day special and we will be back to celebrate another mile stone. Thank you...
