Rose Tree Cottage
We found the overall experience to be pleasant and had a good time. I have been to most of the tea rooms in Southern California and this was very similar to many of them in ambiance and food, yet different in that the owner was charming and formal in his attire. The service was very good. There were 3 young girls waiting on our tables and our teacups were never empty. The owner came around to check that everything was fine. The scones were delicious and sandwiches and fruit were just similar to other tea houses. We didn't have the cheese sandwiches that the other reviewers wrote about but we did have the delicious yorkshire pudding sandwich with beef, egg salad, salmon and cucumber. The only sandwich I didn't care for was the cucumber because it was slightly pickled. The tea was delicious and brewed well, black tea with milk. The 5 star hotel tea services are a different experience with exceptional food and service but which do not have the atmosphere of a cozy tea room. No one was rude or haughty but we were friendly to them and they were very nice to us.
