This past weekend, I had the pleasure of visiting a charming spot in San Juan Capistrano known as The Tea House on Los Rios. The moment you step inside, the atmosphere feels like something straight out of a fairytale, with its whimsical decor and a touch of Bridgerton elegance. The tranquil setting, complete with charming outdoor seating among lush greenery, offers a serene escape from the bustle of everyday life. It’s the perfect place, especially for young women who are catching up with friends and looking to enjoy high-quality tea in a picturesque, intimate environment.
The menu offers an impressive selection of premium teas, along with a variety of culinary delights, cocktails, and a special weekend brunch menu. My friends and I decided to indulge in The Royal Tea Experience, a lavish afternoon tea package that allows you to choose a tea from their extensive list. I selected a fragrant cherry tea, which was both refreshing and soothing, and paired it with a glass of champagne though a mimosa is also an option.
The Royal Tea Experience was truly unique and would be the perfect choice if you're looking to sample a variety of their delicious teas, culinary creations, and other delightful offerings. It began with a freshly baked scone, perfectly shaped like a heart, served warm with clotted cream and jam. Next came a mixed green salad, light and crisp, followed by an assortment of delicate tea sandwiches cucumber, smoked salmon, and egg salad each one more delicious than the last. To finish, we were presented with a trio of mouthwatering sweets, which included a rich, chocolatey treat, a tart lemon bite, and a silky, creamy dessert that was the perfect end to the experience. It was an afternoon of indulgence, great conversation, and beautiful surroundings, making it a memory I will cherish.
Overall, it was a wonderful experience, with not only delicious tea and treats but also a beautiful setting that's perfect for taking photos. The charming decor, lovely atmosphere, and the amazing team made it more special. It’s a great place to create lasting memories and capture stunning photos to share with friends.
