Variety:     Artistry:     Service:     Food: Tyme for Tea and Co. is located in the middle of the 'original Hollywood', so it's a great place to have that old time feel. They don't have a semi-large variety of tea, but my all time favorite is the 'Tyme for Tea Blend'. I've also tasted their Apple Green Tea (can't remember the name) and it tastes like apple cider. The sandwiches needs a bit work, and can be inconsistent. I'm very picky with my bread, and I've come to Tyme for Tea and had really dry bread as if it were made the day before but also had fresh tasting ones, too. I've also had times where my scone was nice and warm but days when it was also semi-warm and a bit cold. Tea Prep: I wish the dishes weren't so unmatched Service: Hit or miss. I've had really cheerful waitresses but I've also had very young and inexperienced ones, too.

Variety:     Artistry:     Service:     Food: We had my mother's bridal shower at a Thyme for Tea a few years ago (I think there is an 'h' in thyme). It is in the 'old town' area of Fremont, adding to the ambiance. The tea room itself was absolutely beautiful! It is a blend of elegance, fantasy, and shabby-chic (though I realize all three are very different!). I remember the tea service to be pretty average. The sandwiches and hot pastries were nice (but nothing to write home about) and there was a meager tea list. Mismatching cups and saucers make the tea room have an antique, homey feel. I prefer newer, matching china; it looks more clean and classy. The server was great! She checked to make sure out pots were always full. It was fun to have different 'courses' come out at different times. First the tea, then some cook... (more)ies, then hot pastries, and so on. I don't know if they only do that for parties or if the courses are typical for their afternoon tea service. I haven't been back since, but I do plan to in the near future! We had a lovely time having tea and enjoying the company of family and friends.

Variety:     Artistry:     Service:     Food: This is my all time absolute favorite tea room! The setting is magical, tables set in an antiques store, and the decor and setting changes with the seasons. Beautiful tea cups, lovely atmosphere. The food is delicious, first they bring out a scone, which are the best scones I've ever had-always warm and soft and tasty. There are lots of great teas to choose from, and they refill your tea throughout your time there. After you have enjoyed your scone, they bring out your sandwiches and then later desserts. You never feel rushed there, it's always so relaxing. Everyone should try Tyme for Tea!

Variety:     Artistry:     Service:     Food: I have been to this tea room several times and each time have been very pleased. The food is very good consisting of tea sandwiches and pastries/scones. Their teas are loose leaf brewed in a pot brought to your table. Their house tea is delightful and they have a good selection of other teas as well. The atmosphere is English/ English garden and a good place to chat with a friend. They also have hats to enhance your experience if you so choose. The service is usually very good although if it is busy it can be a little slow.

Variety:     Artistry:     Service:     Food: My friend and I have always gotten together to have tea here. It's one of the best Tea Rooms I've been to. The service is friendly & the food is wonderful! I find myself craving their scones & petite sandwiches! It's just enough to fill you up without feeling stuffed! I would recommend Tyme for Tea to anyone! I'm even planning to have my girlfriends baby shower here!
