  • Bloomsbury Tea Room

    A fabulous place for lunch or just stopping by for that “spot” of tea. I have been in England numerous times and have had more than my fair share of high tea while visiting; including one of the grandest high teas at the Manor of Lord Charles and Lady Jane, and I would challenge any of those experiences to be better than what we have had at Bloomsbury Tea Room. Tea sandwiches are always lovely but with the added heart cut into the tea sandwiches is even more lovely and when you multiply the visual to the excellent taste of the sandwiches you have nothing short of brilliant. Very simplistic and yet what few places seem to add to give it that extra special touch. I had tried this place a few times while it was under different management but it is more than obvious someone with taste and not afraid of a lot of hard work, where the analogy comes to life with the saying turning a “sow’s ear into a silk purse” speaks volumes. The artichoke soup is completely amazing and it’s hard to say which was grander the “food exceeded only by the service” or was the “service exceeded by the food” both were BRILLIANT and extremely hard to beat anywhere. In the afore mentioned review of 1/5/2010 I would say at the very least “VF” is speaking nothing but “rubbish” and it seems there might be a hidden agenda within this review since we have never encountered that type of service nor the food they described. I believe to sum this up, do yourself a favor and invite that special “someone” in your life for an exquisite experience few will encounter in the State of California let alone in the County of Santa Cruz. Thank you Bloomsbury Tea Room for allowing us to enter your establishment.
