Dori's Tea Cottage

this place is very good.

On December 30th, my birthday my daughter and a friend took me to Dori's Tea Cottage - I felt like I could have been in London! The Tea Room is so inviting and beautifully set tables. The Tea Cozies often match the kind of tea selected. It was such a festive occasion - Greg & Dori did everything perfect and made it a memorable occasion - even with a lit candle and a birthday serenade. I loved every minute of it! Thanks for an awesome birthday.

Dori's Tea Cottage is one of my favorite places to eat and have tea,since my first visit today.I really love the Passion Fruit Tea and the scones.I enjoyed the hospitality shown by the owners. I'm 11 years old and I'm looking foreword to hosting many tea party's for my family after the amazing tea experience I had at Dori's Tea Cottage.

Typically, I am a coffee drinker, however, on a recent visit to California, I was enchanted by Dori's Tea Cottage. The atmoshpere is cozy and welcoming. By the time, you leave you will be one of the family. They recommended Paris Tea for my tastes and it is now at the top of my list!!! Don't pass up the opportunity to stop here, try the egg salad and check out all the teaware they have to offer. I highly recommend it!

When I came in for coffee and scones this afternoon and chose a table where I could retrieve my emails on my laptop you're words were

'Oh, we don't like people doing that sort of thing here'!!

That's a fairly normal activity nowadays and I found your attitude extremely unwelcoming which is a rarity in the USA.

Even more surprising was you saying something like that on a cold wet afternoon with an empty cafe when I would have thought the business would have been most welcome!

I,ve been a fan for years,not only for recommending this great find but for just being there with friends and family! I love Dori and Greg. They make me feel at home. It's always a special treat for me to be there!!!!!!

So happy we found this tea house during our Labor Day weekend in Groveland! Huge tea selection, cozy ambiance and delicious food! We'll definitly be back to Dori's Tea Cottage our next time at Pine Mountain Lake :)

Charming! Inviting! A real treat to spend a lunch with good friends. Both Greg and Dori are experts when it comes to their wide assortments of teas. The food is yummy and prepared in such a creative and attractive. The best part is Greg and Dori's welcoming hospitality. This is MUST stop!

I've enjoyed Dori's a number of times and can't recommend it enough. The tea selection is large, and the food is out of this world! I strongly recommend the Mediterranean quiche. The flavors blend beautifully. Don't forget to stop by in the winter for a hot cup of tea and fresh out of the oven warm scone! Dori's is a 'can't miss'.

Dori & Greg Jones have become an integral part of the charm of our little town of Groveland. An incredible array of fine teas and delicious tea savories and sweets await anyone who is seeking a little respite from the daily grind. Don't like tea? Have some wine or champagne with your meal!

Dori's Tea Cottage continues to be the highlight of our little town. Owners, Dori and Greg, are so gratious and add much fun to each visit. Dori continues to delight guests with new salads and quiches and in the winter months delicious soups. If there is a special event like a birthday or anniversary, you can bet it is being held at Dori's Tea Cottage. In addition, the gift shop portion of the cottage is very specal too with unique handmade items and tea accessories. It's my favorite place to escape!

I love this place. I go here every year when I go on vacation and I really enjoy it. The food was excellent, just like the prices. :)

When we’re in Groveland, one of our “must do’s” while there is visit Dori’s Tea Cottage. Whether it’s having “high tea” for a late lunch, grabbing a nice cool glass of ice tea, or sipping on a glass of wine before dinner – there’s always a reason to stop and visit Greg and Dori!

We love introducing the place to our friends, who are always delighted to find such a classy, quaint, fun place in Groveland. The scones are mouth-watering, the selection of teas is the best I’ve ever seen (so there’s something for everyone), and the comfortable atmosphere is always welcoming and enjoyable.

After setting up camp near Groveland, Ca., my wife and I drove back into town to 'scope out' the local amenities. We were in need of a late lunch and so we stopped at Dori's Tea Cottage. We never expected such a quaint little spot near Yosemite National Park, complete with wonderful finger sandwiches, delicious deserts and an array of teas unlike any we have seen before. Add to this personal treatment and a very friendly atmosphere and we'd found the perfect place to begin our stay here.

The desserts were just delicious! I like to start with dessert.The orange filled cake was terrific. Then the favorful artichoke and cucumber sandwich was very good too. The variety of breads were yummy. We had a great time. The tea room was worth the drive.

We were on the way out of Yosemite when we stopped at Dori's. It was a treat that rivaled the park experience. I had Fruit Medley Tea which I loved and my friend enjoyed Mojito which I tasted and adored. I had chicken salad on ciabatti It came with fruit and a luscious Peanut Butter Cookie. The presentation of all 4 meals at our table was elegant. The owners were cordial and obviously love what they do. The ambiance of the courtyard was celestial. Can't wait to return!!

I, along with my husband and daughters, stumbled upon Dori's a while back and were very impressed with the teas, food, and gracious hosts. We recently visited a second time and were treated to a similarly pleasant experience. We were so enamored of the delicious mojito iced tea that we bought some to take home. The Paris tea was also a hit. The blueberry and apple scones were to die for. We are already looking forward to our next visit!

What a fabulous find in the California foothills town of Groveland. My friend and I were looking for a nice quiet spot for lunch and voila', we found Dori's Tea Cottage. The quiche was sublime and the lovely courtyard just what we were looking for. We even found precious treasures in the well stocked gift shop. Both Dori and her husband were friendly, courteous and helpful. We will be back!

Any time I go through Groveland I make it a point of stopping to have tea and also bring friends and family. This is the most delightful teahouse and we were lucky enough to have good weather and were able to sit out on the front porch. Had lunch special, sandwich, fruit and delicious orange zest cake for dessert. Highly recommend Dori's and cannot wait for my next visit.

Dori and Greg do an amazing job with their tea service. They have a wide variety of delicious teas and the food is wonderful! If you visit, try the Paris tea...it is my absolute favorite! The atmosphere is clean, cozy and intimate, giving you the opportunity to chat with the owners. In addition, compared to other boutique tea shops that I've visited, Dori's is very reasonably priced. Dori's is a must-see for tea-lovers passing through Groveland.

While having a weekend get-away at my husbands parents lake house in Groveland, my sister-in-law took me to Dori's tea cottage. It was a darling tea house with wonderful charm. The atmosphere was perfect. The tea and scones were delightful. I loved meeting Dori and Greg ... they made us feel so welcome. I will definitely be stopping for tea every time we come for a visit.

Had an absolutely wonderful visit. The food, tea, ambience, and people all top of the mark. Love the place & the vision of the owners. Can't recommend it enough.

The tea is great and the food is AMAZING. Dori's is my MUST stop at place when we are in Groveland. Dori puts out a spread of the most delicious food! We were just there last week, sat outside, watched the world go by and met great people. What a fun time!

We plan our trips to Yosemite from the SF bay area with a stop at Dori's fine offerings. comfortable room, peaceful garden, welcoming hosts, correctly brewed refreshing teas (every sort), plus excellent samplers of tea sandwiches and sweets. When you need a small break along the roadway they pick you up; delightful!

My mom and I recently visited this adorable little tea room and we had an absolutely wonderful time. The owners were very friendly and extremely accommodating of out time schedule. I felt as though i had been transported to the english countryside. Everything was adorable, down to the pastel colored, rose shaped sugar cubes. The selection of teas was extensive (mostly whole leaf i believe) and their food was all excellent. We shared a sampler for two which came with a variety of tea sandwiches (all wonderful) and several small desserts. Their teas were so good that i bought five! Highly recommended!

This is a great and unexpected find in Groveland. My wife and I have had tea at many wonderful places including the Ritz Carlton and Neiman Marcus in San Francisco and the Palm Court at the Waldorf Hotel in London and the food at Dori's is every bit as good, if not better as it is so fresh. Don't miss this place!

My wife and I had an entirely pleasant time at Dori's Tea Cottage last week. The tea list is extensive (4 pages!) and the tea was excellent. The food (sandwich sampler) was delicate and tasty and went well with the tea. The scones are the best! The ambience is consistent with the fare and the service is great. I've already recommended to several friends.

My husband I discovered Dori's on Yelp with high ratings. Our Valentine's Day visit was absolutely delicious (including recommendations and samples of teas we had never tried which we loved). The Tea Cottage is warm, friendly and intimate...perfect for our occasion, with wonderful potential for birthday parties and wedding/baby showers. The adjoining tea shop is full of beautiful tea cups, pots and a wide range of accessories. Dori, Greg and other guests at the Cottage were welcoming and personable making our visit memorable. We fully intend to recommend Dori's to friends interested in tea and plan on return visits with family.
