Food: This was my first experience going to a teahouse, and I absolutely loved it. Not only were the different teas and food delicious, but Barbara and her daughter were very nice,friendly and attentive. I took my daughters (9 and 4 yrs old) along with my niece and nephew and everyone enjoyed this new experience. I will definately be back soon. |

It was a busy time for them when we went and we felt as if we were a part of the family. There loose leaf teas are very good and we could choose as many as we wanted. The Victorian ambiance is wonderful and we will return soon. |

Food: Years ago, we were told that to miss a high tea when visiting British Columbia was a serious offense (a man told us this). So my hubby and I dutifully arrived at the Empress Hotel on the Parliament Quad in Victoria without reservations (not a good idea) and managed to squeeze into a lovely tea room overlooking the harbor. What an experience! Even my hubby who squinted at the hefty price “for tea and little sandwiches” was truly impressed. Not planning on going to Victoria? Not to worry, I can highly recommend an Empress experience in Rancho Cucamonga. That is what we discovered at Barbara’s Victorian Teahouse! I held my daughter’s baby shower here and all twenty of us were giddy with delight. What a fun experience. We couldn’t leave her porch after we were done. Delicious delicacie... (more) |

I am so happy to be able to go to have tea in a Authentic Victorian House as opposed to a store front building, although some of them them are very nice. However, this was a nice change for me. The variety of teas are large and the food is quite nice and fresh and the scones are exceptional. The service is very good and friendly, and of course the ambiance made my experience perfect. I was happy to be able to buy some of the apricot cream tea and I even was able to have them mix me a special blend for me. I will return soon!! |

Sure maybe the food is great, the teas are awesome (this is hypothetically speaking... their food could taste like crap)... but good luck even making it through the door. I've tried calling this place for the past 48 hours (during it's supposed hours of operations) trying to make a reservation. Nobody picks up the phone at this place and their lousy voicemail box is full... goes to show how often they even bother using the phone. Sad part is that reservations are required and they need you to fork out your credit card number in advance in order to even make a reservation. So I've tried calling for 2 days then finally I get a human to pick up the damn phone yesterday (about 10 minu... (more) |

There were many tea choices and my friend really enjoyed her strawberry/peach tea, and later she had the blueberry tea and said both were delicious. I highly recommend Barbara's... you won't be disappointed! |

Food: I've been to this Teahouse about 3 times and love it. The food is very filling. We always have to take home the dessert in a 'to go' bag. Barbara is very friendly, as is her daughter. When you order the 'Lady Lucy,' the salad and fruit that start you off is so refreshing. The raspberry vinaigrette salad is very delicious and sweet (just the way I like it). My favorite item on the menu is the ham and cheese quiche. It is truly the reason that this is my favorite Teahouse....granted I've only been to about 4 other Teahouses. The scone and sandwishes are also yummy. The atmosphere is also what puts this place above many others. It's a beautifully decorated Victorian house. Everything is very 'Lady Like.' I don't have a negative thing to say about this place. |

I was slightly put off that our salads, fruit and sandwiches were at the table and ready for us when we arrived. However, she had explained when I called in for reservations that they were extremely busy for that Thursday, and really, everything tasted good, not stale or as if it had sat out long.

A special little birthday gift was waiting at her place setting, and Barbara gave her a feathery, glittery princess birthday crown as well. I honestly didn't think my granddaughter would have the patience to sit more than 30 minutes, but our tea time lasted a full, leisurely hour thanks to all the dainty foods (hurrah for chocolate-dipped strawberries!) and her very own small teapot of pink lemonade. The food was tasty and ample--I had to bring leftovers home. In all honesty, I have had better tea sandwiches elsewhere, but for all the other wonderful goodies (fresh fruit, amazing scones, delicious salad), I can hardly complain.

Food: This tea house is EVERY bit of a 5 STAR!!!!! After touring over a dozen tea houses in California that were 'supposably' rated high, Barbara's Tea House was the first to really live up to it's 7th place ranking. The tea's are creatively blended by Barbara herself, they were all truly GREAT!!! The food really surpassed our every expectation, from the salad (great dressing) to the egg salad sandwich, but the best was the tuna. It ONLY get's better....the quiche was not your typical quiche, finally a moist quiche that was not over cooked. The desserts: where do I start, the lemon bars & the brownies were fantastic, however the chocolate dipped strawberries with the sprinkles were more than worth the calories :) What makes this tea house rank so high is Barbara's ...

Food: hank you for such a great tea. I want to make something very clear about this tearoom. My girlfriend and I were sitting at the table next to the person named Edlana and I will disagree with everything she has said about this tearoom. The dressing for the salad is one of the best I have tasted and the scones are the best I have tasted in a very long time. The sandwiches and the quiche are delicious. Barbara had plenty of time to spend with all of us, especially with Edlana and her friend because she was even discussing 'weight watchers' with them. Barbara, offered us all many choices of teas and even gave us all a Valentine's Day Keepsake!! It seems to me that they have another agenda for their review. THIS TEAROOM IS A MUST FOR ALL!!! |

Food: My friend and I love going to tea to celebrate special occasions and we are always looking for a new tea room. This time we were celebrating my birthday. We both were very disappointed. It is a lovely victorian decoration with beautiful table settings. Barbara is a very friendly and sweet hostess, but too busy for excellent service. The first disappointment was all three pots of tea were over steeped, coming to the table black as coffee and bitter. Our salad would have been delicious if it were not swimming in the dressing. Our sandwiches were all on crossiants, and again way too much dressing/spread. We had so hoped to find this tea room suitable, because it is just around the corner from my friend's residence. Barbara shorten the steeping time, use less dressing and I will try again. |

Food: I have been to this fabulous tea house on several occassions: birthday party(party of 12), afternoon tea(party of 4), and a baby shower(party of 39) and a few other times (small parties). During every visit, the service, food, and hospitality was absolutely wonderful! Barbara and her staff are very friendly. They make you feel as if you were family. When you walk into this Victorian house, you feel like you are in a different era. You can purchase or borrow their hats to add to the event. On every occassion, Barbara and her staff have greeted us with such kindness- a very welcoming atmosphere. The victorian house is absolutely gorgeous! The service is wonderful. Even with our party of 39, we did not have to wait on anything. All of my friends and family commented about the wonde... (more) |

Food: Today in honor of my daughter's birthday my mom, daughter and I chose Barbara's Victorian Teahouse as our venue to celebrate. This Teahouse is adorned with whimsical trinkets, one of kind china tea settings and beautifully decorated christams trees everywhere. I highly recommened 'Queen Barbara's Tea.' The gourmet quiche is exquisite! The homeade desserts are divine and the teas are mellow and frangrant. Okay, now let's get to the big tada of this establishment---BARBARA!!! We felt so welcomed. She's most definetly the heartbeat of the tearoom (we just about wanted to take her home with us). If you're looking for an afternoon where you can feast and do a liitle shopping all under one roof, this is the place. You will not be disappionted. All staff members are pleasant and welcoming. I most definetly plan on revisiting. |
