Variety: I just love this tearoom. Donna is a jewel. I buy some of my tea from her. The Jasmine Pearl is so good! It is truly one of the best teas I have ever had. I have not been in a long time, but I am looking forward to a visit again. You will leave this tearoom feeling happy and refreshed. Lady Lisa Silva |

Variety: I must say, that I'm so late in writing this, much deserved review. I had a party for my daughter's 9th birthday, December 15th: I had called most tea rooms in San Diego to accomodate 12 girls plus 2 adults. All of them said, that they were doing 'Christmas Teas' and they did not have bookings during this time for children's tea parties. When I found Donna Maria's Tea Time online, I had to call. She answered the phone so pleasantly, and was so very kind. She too, said they were serving only Christmas Tea: a menu that was for adult tastes. I told her I understood. She then asked what date I needed and who the party was for. I told her this: 'My daughter is turning nine. The theme is 'Hollywood... GOD'S SUPER STARS'. I'm going to have a limo pick up the girls... Each will be given an Os... (more) |

Dear Andrea,Thank you for your kind and wonderful response. Joe and I did have a good time when you and God's Super Stars' vivited Donna Maria's. It wwas sooo much fun to see all the girls get out of the Limo and walk the 'red carpet'. They seemed to enjoy their visit. Danica is a beautiful young lady as well as all of her guest. It was our pleasure to serve you. I hope that you will send me a picture or stop by so that I can at least see some of the pictures that where taken that very special day. And Andrea you looked DIVINE. I didn't think that you forgot . Thank you again and please visit soon Tea Regards Donna Maria |

Variety: From the minute you walk into this beautiful tea room, you are greeted with such graciousness by Donna Maria. The tea room epitomizes the elegance of tea: soft music playing, wonderful table settings and food presented beautifully on tiered servers. The tea selection is fantastic - all high quality loose leaf teas which Donna Maria steeps to perfection (strains the leaves!) and then serves in a teapot kept warm by candlelight. You won't leave hungry, either. An incredible amount of food with every bite as tasty as the next thing you try as you work down the tiers! Devon cream (not whipped cream), lemon curd, amazing scones and creative sandwiches. I only wish I lived closer so I could visit more. I'll be looking forward to my next tea time experience with Donna Maria. Don't miss it! |

Dear Linda, How nice it was to accomodate you and your husband after your trip from I think you said Yuma. I'm so glad that you decided to stop for Tea on your way to visit family in San Diego. Your words are very kind. It gives me such great pleasure to have my guests leave satisified. When men are just as satisified this is wonderful. It was fun having both of you at the tea shop and I hope to see you gain on your next trip to San Diego. Have a great New Year and good luck with your classes. Tea Regards. Donna Maria |

Variety: From just entering Donna Maria's to the wonderful service provided, you feel at home. We came a little early and were able to look at some of the different teapots on display. I remember being tempted to buy a unique pie server for a friend. The tea is loose leaf, and if you are looking for something in particular, Donna Maria will ask you a few questions, and then make excellent recommendations. We had a lot of fun last June(2007) when Marianne first brought us there. And I'm very much looking forward to another visit soon. |

Variety: As a tea lover and connoisseur of sorts of tea rooms (in my own mind), Donna Maria's Tea Time surpassed my expectations in every respect. The room was charming, with a Victorian feel. There were tea accoutrements artfully displayed without being crowded. There was a great variety of teas. Our server was delightful, very attentive, cheerful and quick to brew another pot of a different flavor of tea for our group of six (5 nurses, 1 daughter). She was knowledgeable about and was happy to answer our questions (more than once) about the teas. Thank you so much, Marjorie (sp?). Joe, our host, was very welcoming and had such a happy demeanor you wouldn't know he had been up since 5a! Our hostess, Donna, was delightful, and they all made us feel welcome and special. The food...oh the ... (more) |
