Food: The tea shop is a nice experience but the tables are so small everyone has to choose one tea. There are not enough room on the table for individual choices. The food is good but not outstanding. Service is good but the place is small and can get noisy. It is a bit too frou-frou in decor to bring a male. |

Food: Who doesn't love a tearoom? This one is even better than the others and truly worth a visit. The perfect place for heart-to-heart talks. I've gone there with girlfriends and you feel like a little girl in a dream! My most favorite memory of going there though was for my daughter's 16th birthday for which they FAR EXCEEDED my dreams. We sat on a little love seat next to each other, they wrote Happy Birthday on the flower plate in chocolate, had beautiful flowers, etc. Thank you! |

You feel like a queen the moment you sit down as you are greeted with warm, scented hand towels. The decor and atmosphere are beautifully done in sage green and rose pink. Lisa and her staff are warm and attentive. The food is tasty from the savories to the warm scones and lemon curd. We were impressed by the presentation. It is a local treasure! |

Not only the decor, the food and the teas are excellent, the presentation and service are wonderful well. The servers couldn't be nicer, and I enjoy experiencing the new teas they offer, and purchasing some to take back to friends. Return trips to CA will definitely include a visit to the English Rose. |

Food: The English Rose in downtown Pleasanton is one of the finest you will experience even compared to the ones in England. The setting is exquisite with hand painted furniture, crystal chandeliers, and beautiful stenciling. The decor is gorgeous yet the space is comfortable and cozy- perfect for a quiet, intimate time with a dear friend and appropriate for a business meeting. The food is scrumptous and I have never seen a more extensive tea list(lavender lace is my favorite)- something for everyone. My husband even enjoys the tea room and the savories are hearty enough for him. The tea room provides a small gift shop as well. You will be spoiled by the excellent service and the warm hand towels scented with lavender. Go enjoy this little piece of heaven-it is like taking a mini vacation! You deserve it! |

Being there makes us all feel like true Ladies and it seems to make all the problems in the world go away. I loved The English Rose so much the first time I went in that I painted my home the same colors, so in essences when I go there it is like going home. Make the trip to taste the tea and Petit Fours and you will walk away a happier more satisfied person! Service ROCKS TOO!!! |

Knowing that the owner and staff are women of God and true followers of Jesus enhanced the experience even more! What a ministry to the Pleasanton community and now that the secret is out, the WORLD!

Food: The English Rose is one of my all time favorite places! We discovered this great little escape a few years ago with my Mother's Group. Between 3 of us we have 7 sons (no daughters) and very little opportunity for ourselves much less time to be 'girlie'. The English Rose has become our place to get together, reconnect and feel fabulous all while drinking delicious tea and eating delightful finger foods and desserts. We love the special touches they add to the menu around the holidays and the little indulgences that are there year round like warm, lavender scented towels and lotion to moisturize with after your meal. We consider ourselves 'regulars' and make sure to never let more than a month or so pass without making another appointment. I would recommend The English Rose to anyone, any age, any gender. |

Commitment to excellence was in evidence in every detail. To start, the gracious and attentive hostess brought a warm, lavender-infused towel to each guest to cleanse the fingers prior to partaking the exquisite offerings. She replenished lemon curd and clotted cream without prompting, and asked if the teapots needed to be refilled prior to their becoming empty. Recommended most enthusiastically, with gratitude! |

Her servers seemed very happy to work for her and very dedicated to their jobs. I highly recommend this tea room. |

Most important to our group was that there was an atmosphere of the Peace of God pervading the place. The staff was friendly, helpful, and generous. They were knowledgeable about the tea they served, as well as the food (of which there was a wide and delicious variety). We had a wonderful time, and though we drove about 2-1/2 hours to get there, it was well worth it! I hope to go back for my daughter's 13th birthday in the Spring!! |

The tea sandwiches were tasty and fulfilling - I could not even eat half of the offering. The special tea for today was a southern pecan and it was very good. The room is absolutely beautiful.

Food: When you enter The English Rose, you step back in time when we weren't so rushed and had so many 'busy' things to do, what a delight! It's a time to sit back, relax and enjoy the company of friends, or even a good book while sipping one of the many teas offered as well as being able to enjoy the delicasies of The English Rose. The decor is quite relaxing and beautiful and you won't be disappointed when you visit The English Rose. I have been there at least 5 times and look forward to my next visit. |

Food: My 12 year old daughter and I discovered the English Rose about a year ago and have been visiting once a month since. It is always a special occasion. The staff is always wonderful, very kind and helpful and very knowledgeable about the teas and the menu. The food is very good. There is a new menu about every month. It includes tea sandwiches, small tarts, fresh fruit and wonderful small sweets, including petit fours. We usually go around lunchtime and always leave well satisfied. The atmosphere is wonderfully relaxing. The decor is adorable, lots of pink and roses, always fresh roses on the tables and the food servers. Small towels are brought to the tables to freshen up with and scented lotion after the tea. If you have a chance do visit the English Rose. You won't be disappointed. |

The decor is cute very English. They have a nice selection of teas. The walls were a bit scuffed (paint completely gone) from people rubbing their chairs up against the wall. We were warmly greeted when we arrived and our table was ready and waiting for us. On Saturday's you can only get the Queens Tea which is $23.00 per person. This is a full service tea which is what I always get when going to high tea however I've never seen it be a required or only option to guests. They have a pretty generous tea selection the only thing I didn't like is most tea houses will give you a description of the teas especially ... (more) |

Food:  Two lady friends and I drove from the Vally to take tea at The English Rose Tea Shop. We found the salon, gift area and outside patio beautifully appointed and decorated in chic European style! It was the first time since London, that we took tea at a settee and armed chairs with low tea table (instead of a dining table with chairs - delightful! Lynn and her knowledgeable staff were attentive, friendly and knowledgeable! We enjoyed our loose leaf teas very much. I had the house blend and found it to be a particularly good blend of black teas. We ordered the Queen's Tea and were a little taken aback that the savories were a spicy chorizo pocket, a spicy Mexican bean mixture in a cone burrito and one of the sandwiches was an Aram rollup filled with bland rice and avocado?! We found these selections incongruent with the otherwise lovely 'English' Tea experience here. We recommend the Duchess Anna's Tea (without the savories) and will try it and the lovelky patio on next excursion! |
