Food: My friends and I enjoyed a marvelous cup of tea at Paris in a Cup. I was disappointed that the portions were not served so that we could share amongst our entire party. We all felt we ordered way too much food in order to get the complete 'tea experience'. The prices were a bit high and in this down ecomony it will be awhile before I can afford to splurge like that again. The tea selection was phenominal. I absolutely loved the Sable tea. The decor while cute and very different from the usual English faire, had a noisy and less than relaxing sense about it. I'm sure it has to do with trying to accomodate as many as possible but there were so many ladies in the tea room and the noise level so high that we were not really able to enjoy our visit. |

Food: Absolutely great. I went for a friend's birthday and had such a great time I brought my sisters and my mom for mothers day and we cant wait to go again! The desserts are amazing, the chocolate reflection was my personally favorite. The room is very classy and chic and the front shop is so much fun. Thanks to Paris in a Cup I now crave Jardin Blue tea. We are definitely and will continue to be repeat customers! |

Food: This place is WONDERFUL! The food was very good my group had the Madame du Barry, we started with the Paris & Peach tea (both excellent) 2 scones one was chocolate chip and the other was sugar with all the fixings, we had a chicken salad dijon sandwich, apple & cheddar sandwich cut into the shape of an apple and a ham sandwich with red roasted pepper pineapple cream cheese spread. We received 3 little desserts one was a chocolate encased cake, a chocolate coffee cake and a cheesecake square. Our server Katie was a doll and the owner Cheryl was very gracious as well. I will definitely be back for more! |

Bonjour Carrie, Thank you so much for your sweet review. We always feel good when we have done our jobs and our guests leave feeling special. Merci beaucoup, Cheryl, owner |

Food: Cheryl, So, weird that my computer is blocked from this review sight now. I guess that is one way to keep customers from responding. I imagine this email will be blocked next. Wow, anyway this is in response to your email. It was clear that I was not “fine” with our earlier discussion. During that discussion I clearly told you that I felt you made the problem ours when one of your only solutions was that maybe someone will cancel and there will be more room and because you were the one who told my husband and friend it was ok to give the final count a couple days before. When the call was made (2 DAYS before as you requested, remember we cancelled the day before) that is when you told them that we couldn’t add a person. I have never personally heard this rule from other ... (more) |

Food: I honestly cannot believe the review beneath mine talking about large party booking. I attended a baby shower there about 2 months ago (that I partially planned) and it went perfectly! The entire staff at Paris in a Cup was extremely warm and friendly and we had an amazing time. We booked about a month in advance (obviously you must do that for a place as lovely as this one...it fills up fast!) The food and atmosphere were amazing, and we had SO many delicious choices of tea that we could hardly make up our minds! Paris in a Cup is by far the loveliest place I've ever been to tea, and I will tell everyone about it. TIPS- Try to book a week or two in advance if you'd like to enjoy on a Saturday or a Sunday to ensure yourself a space! Paris in a Cup is quickly becoming the 'it' tea room in Southern California!...it is well worth the wait! Thank you Paris in a Cup! |

Food: Party planning was a DISASTER. We had made a reservation 5 weeks out for a baby shower. Food was discussed, credit card number given and at that time, we estimated that there would be 8 guests. The owner (Shirley) said to confirm the number a couple days before the party. When we did call a couple days out and confirmed the number for 9 instead of 8 she said that she that she was booked solid and she only had room for 8. The problem then became ours. She also said it was her policy that you can delete people from your party but you cannot add people. This was never said to us, besides who would ever know how many people are confirmed to a party 5 weeks out. Later she said she would put 3 adults at a table that was meant for two and that it would be very tight and that maybe someone ... (more) |

Tearoom Response
Just a note, the person writing this review is not the person who made the original reservation. That being said, when the reservation was made, it was explained that the area chosen within the salon could only seat 8 people and they could not increase their number unless they moved else where. A day before the party we received the call that the number had indeed changed and was now 9. I reminded her of the original conversation with my manager and went on to expalin that we were completely booked. No extra seating anywhere. I was told they were coming anyway with 9 people.So I explained that it would be a liitle crowded, but we would be happy to accommodate them by making a table for 8 to fit 9. She seemed fine with this arrangement and thanked me. I later received a call from Robin saying she was very unhappy. Again it was explained. After that her husband called and cancelled. Being fully booked is truly a blessing, but can present a problem when changes are made at the last minute. I truly do regret that they were so unhappy, unfortunately it cannot be fixed.Thank you, Cheryl Turner, owner |

Food: Absolutely one of the most gorgeous tea rooms I've visited. Owners have just done an a remarkable job re-vamping the traditional boring English tea room, into something so sophisticating and bold. It is such a breath of fresh air in the Old Towne Orange District. This place is a definitely noteworthy for ladies looking for a chic and elegant venue for their next shower or mom's day; trust me, it will take a lot for your friends to top this place. :) i know mine can't, and i'd like to see them try. until then, we'll surely be going to tea in 'Paris' TIPS: -Definitely order the iced tea--yum! -Splurge for one day on their desserts! double yum! -If you get cold easily in restaurants, be sure to bring a sweater...(when i went, it was quite chilly inside!) |

Food: What a fabulous place to have afternoon tea at! Everything is so nice and pretty. The food was good too. At first my husband thought the portions were small, but later he was actually full. (We now know why French women stay so slim because they don't overeat.) I had rose petal tea and it was the best I have had. The shop was also adorable. Paris In A Cup is like the french version of the Scarlet Tea Room in OC. Will definitely go back again. |

Food: My first visit to the Tearoom during the Holidays was wonderfully supberb, as expected-great tasting tea, quaint relaxing atmosphere and the tea sandwiches appropriate. I enjoyed my visit so much I returned again with friends. The second visit was pleasant, but the food portion size appeared to be smaller. It is my understanding that the selections vary, but this is a tea room, not a 5 star French restaurant, where one would expect to pay for Excellent French Cuisine and Artistry and not for teeny, tiny less than bite size portions. Thought I would re visit at a later time in the day.. I have to comment on how disappointed I was the third visit, there was a very large, obnoxious Red Had Group overwhelming and filling the entire room!Perhaps this Tea Room should make accomodations f...

Food: This is a great tea house, and a refreshing addition to the small number of tea houses in the orange county area. The decor is beautiful, the food was artfully presented, and the atmosphere is unrushed and relaxing. They even fit us in on a last minute reservation request. I look forward to returning. |

Food: We have been waiting a long time to visit, and we were finally able to, and boy was it worth the wait! It was such a special day, the food was very good, the service was the best, and the atmosphere was like sitting in a Frech tea salon in Paris! The tea selection was amazing, I tried a tea based on our server's suggestion and it was heaven, (I even purchased some for home on my way out), the scones melt in your mouth, and the soup is the best. I will be coming back again and again! |

Food: We called at noon on 2-23-08 & were squeezed in at 12:30pm & told we could stay until 2pm. Our party of 3 had a leasurely lunch & was able to shop too. The decor made me feel like I was sitting in a sidewalk cafe in Paris. The waitress was wonderful-great suggestions for tea (the red hot & chocolate were delicious-bought some in the gift shop for home & the office). The baked potato soup, sandwiches & cookies were a hit. All in all it was a deliteful experience. I can't wait to go back. |

Food: Beautiful interior and fantastic service. If you want choices (sandwich type, different salad or soups, desserts) this place probably isn't for you. The fresh scones were delicious (a little small). Everything beautifully presented. The teas were prepared in the kitchen and brought to you in a pot. Nice variety of teas. I am a vegetarian and the server substituted the chicken sandwich for a veggie one. Asparagus soups was made with chicken stock (so I couldn't have it), but my mom did and said it was great. I will return for another visit to 'Paris'! |

Food: As an admirer of the Art of The French Tea, the opening of this establishment in December was long awaited. My second visit to Paris In A Cup Tea Salon was last Saturday. I was just as wonderfully overwhelmed as the first time! The Tea Salon is floor-to-ceiling stunning. All created from the inspiration of its owner, Cheryl Turner. (Unfortunately, there is not yet a picture on TeaMap.com.) The tables are dressed beautifully. The delicious menu items, which are prepared in their chic, 'neat as a pin' service area, are creative and very well presented. The tea selection offers a wide variety, including must try tea blends imported from France. The professionally attired wait staff provided exceptional service. The delightful boutique that greets you and bids you adieu as you leave ... (more) |

Food: Don't know how it's possible that there are no other reviews yet of this picture perfect tea spot. Maybe Paris in a Cup's are too awestruck to comment. This tea salon is gorgeous and tea guests are treated with the utmost care and reverence from the beautiful gift-wrapped chocolate awaiting at each place setting to the attentive and courteous service. Well worth the price of the holiday tea. People may love Paris in the spring, but this place is a place to love year-round |
