Best Afternoon Tea Spots: San Diego

Elaine Courtney: GORGEOUS for afternoon tea, w/ the sun streaming in & a piano playing somewhere loud enough for patrons to hear but soft enough not to interrupt conversation. The scones are DIVINE! Parking validated.

Elaine Courtney: Marie Antoinette'd approve of afternoon tea here, amidst the beautiful ornate interiors that spoke of the Rococo era! Love how there's a live harp performance while we tea-ed. Validated 2 hr parking.

Elaine Courtney: Only open on Thu-Sun for tea time, the atmosphere and bites are great. Eclectic mix of fine china/porcelain adds to the whole Victorian-esque charm. Definitely go for high tea with Indian chai.

Elaine Courtney: Fancy a spot of tea? Journey down here for their delightful and whimsical English tea service... The hotdog puff pastry is a must, you might want to go home with a dozen of them!

Elaine Courtney: Good tea, but the savories were a tad oily & were cold when served. Also you could tell the scone was reheated in the microwave; although warm the inside was all mushy. Interesting selection of china.
