Vintage Tea Leaf

Have to disagree with most of the reviews. There were PAGES of teas to choose from. I told my server my likes (strong black tea, no fruit flavors) and she helped me choose a tea. It was delicious. The atmosphere is Victorian clutter, cute. My friend and I ordered different sandwiches and shared. Half were great, half were bland. Scones, cream and jam were good. I make better lemon curd. I spent at least 10 minutes chatting with the owner. I found her warm and engaging and I am usually overly sensitive to negativity. I say give it a chance and judge for yourself.

We were harassed by the owner for not ordering the tea she wanted us to have. I finally asked if they did not have the one I wanted and she huffed away. We had the sweetest young server but she didn't talk or smile very much. We soon found out why.... The owner began to yell at her about little things that should not have mattered at the time of serving tea. We felt so sorry and embarrassed for her. We left her a very large tip and recommended that she go find a job where she would be treated right.

It was a very sad experience and certainly not the last tea memory I wanted to have with my friend before she moved away. Hopefully we will be able to laugh a little about it in the years to come.
And of course, I will never go back.

Beverly, the owner, always had a 'pickle-personality' with an awful attitude & lazy service when my ladies group met here... We finally decided that the service was soooo bad we stopped coming (thank God)... But... A friend of mine begged me to try it again, and... NOTHING HAS CHANGED; BEVERLY STILL HAS A PICKLE PERSONALITY WITH LOTS OF 'ATTITUDE' AND THE SERVICE STILL STINKS!!!

There are no words to describe how WONDERFUL this place is!! This tea spot is AMAZING! At first I was scared to even walk in the door because of the Reviews that I read. NOW READ THIS!! VINTAGE TEA LEAF OUT BEATS EVERY OTHER TEA SPOT BY FAR. I did my research. I drove darn near L.A looking for 'The One' This place Gets an A++ on APPEARANCE, A++ on FOOD, A++ on the KNOWLEDGE of tea, A+++ on SERVICE,FRIENDLINESS, CLEANLINESS, and EVERYTHING else that you can imagine your Tea Party can be. My mom was very pleased on how her Birthday Tea Party went. She recommends this spot to ANY AND EVERYONE!!!

I think apperance is eveything, from the looks of it on the outside looking into the window, It didnt give the appearance to be very clean.So I based my decission on not going into the restuarant. I can only imagine the food not being that great.

The owner Beverly didn't like the tea we ordered and let us know, there was no service, the food not very tasty and we couldn't even get our tea refilled.
Terrible!
