The Four Seasons Tea Room

I love this place! I have been here twice. Once with my grandmother and the second time my brother and I brought my mom here for Mother’s Day! On Mother’s Day they had a delicious menu specifically for that day. The owner is always friendly and welcoming! The servers are willing to help you pick out the perfect tea which is great for someone who may not know what to order. Will be coming back again :)

This tea room is one of the best places I have ever been to. And the staff was unbelievable nice!
I came here for a friends birthday with two friends and showed up super late to our reservation. But thankfully enough the woman who I was speaking with on the phone totally understood my situation and didn’t give away our table.
After getting seated, the waiter quickly gave us the menus and addressed all the questions that we had. We decided to have the afternoon tea which includes two pots of tea, a platter of sandwiches and desserts. Although the amount of food looks small, it was super filling and satisfying.
My favorite were the fresh baked scones! Served with raspberry jam and clotted cream. I would definitely come back here again.

Lovely afternoon tea room!
Went here with my two girls. Uhh I love their scones! So delicate, light, and goes perfectly with the cream. Love love love. The rose tea is aromatic, and my absolute favorite. The porcelain cups, mugs and plates are so pretty. Service is pretty quick, and the price is reasonable.
There’s also a lot of parking spots out front, and the staff is very helpful and nice about helping us take pictures.

This is my favorite tea house. I have been here 3 – 4 times in the past few years — most recently on my birthday in early October. I will be going again November 7 with my nephew, after — ironically — a performance of Vivaldi’s «The Four Seasons» at the Ambassador Auditorium.
The tea room is a cute converted Craftsman house, with lots of natural light coming through the windows. It’s quiet, as a tea room should be — not noisy like the Huntington Library.
Our waiter, Ivan, was charming, very attentive, and helpful — not stuffy and a little rude like Rose Tree Cottage. :(
We had the Royal Afternoon Tea, which comes with a beautiful, enormous salad — in addition to everything from the Afternoon Tea. The five kinds of sandwiches were scrumptious. And the best scones I’ve ever tasted. They were so accommodating to our special request to serve the scones after we ate the sandwiches, so they would be piping hot when we ate them. Most places will not do that — so, at those places, in a sense, you have to eat dessert before the sandwiches, in order for the scone to still be hot. Took the dessert and half of the salad home — so got a second meal out of it.
They had a gazillion kinds of tea — including a large variety of decaffeinated and herb teas. Their specialty, the Victorian Rose Tea, was phenomenal — so I bought some to take home, at $ 8, not $ 15 – 20 as at most other places.
The price of $ 22 – 28.50 is very reasonable, compared to all the other tea rooms around — and parking is abundant, and free. Did I mention FREE. Compared to:
— $ 42 – 59 at the Langham Pasadena, formerly Ritz Carlton Huntington (plus $ 14 parking)
— $ 33 at the Rose Tree Cottage (very little, difficult parking on the left hand side of a one-​way street)
— $ 28 at the Huntington Library tea room (plus $ 15 museum entry fee for non-​members)
— $ 20-​ish at Chado (plus a parking fee)
We definitely will be back.

The place is very cute and it’s a nice place to just socialize as well. Bring family, dates, and friends. Just remember to call a head a time to make sure there are space open. My fiancé and I have been to this place 4 times and love each time we go.
The sandwiches. Scones and the rooms are all wonderful. I don’t understand why anyone would give this 3 stars. Maybe it’s just me but I’ll keep coming back here any time.

Very tasty with a great variety of teas sandwiches and deserts. The only thing I can pick on is that it was a little warm inside, they need a higher capacity ac here.

Everything was so good. The salad has special dressing. We love it! Everything was like in London. We appreciate your kindness Rosa (the owner) the place is classy and cozy. We definitely be back. I love it!!!

This tea room is cute. Its in a quaint area of Sierra Madre where you can walk to almost everything.
The tea options are fair. Not the most I’ve seen but not the least either. I got the cherry cinnamon tea. It smelled exactly how I wanted it to taste. Its 22 dollars for afternoon tea. The sandwich quantity and size left me desiring more. Out of finger sandwiches I tried, the chicken salad was the best. It was fresh shredded chicken and I couldnt taste any celery like in traditional chicken salad sandwiches. Yeah! I was bummed the egg salad sandwich had olives because I hate olives. The banana bread with cream cheese was noteworthy as well.
The best thing on the dessert tray was the lemon bar of course. The service was a bit slow between each course but I understand everything is made to order. The dishes come out with beautiful presentation. The scones were very filling but delicious.

First time eating here… Ivan helped us & he was VERY nice. The food was ok, I didn’t like that the sandwiches were a set selection, so if there is something you liked or didn’t like you couldn’t change up your order.
On the other hand the Tea was really good! The place was also cute, small & intimate!

Saw many pictures of the food, they should know that food shouldn’t only taste good but look good. I saw the scones, they didn’t look like scones they mostly looked like flowers or a different type of cookie.

Came here for Mother’s day w/​my family on a Saturday. Made reservations 1 month ahead because of Mother’s Day. This lil house is so cute for get togethers and there is patio seating outside for larger parties (eg. Baby/​Bridal Showers). Customer service was friendly and very accommodating.
There is a selection of different teas on one side of the menu and you have a choice of 2 with your meal. I highly recommend the Apricot tea, not too fruity & very nice w/​milk (optional). The House Salad is the best and those scones are absolutely delicious! (I wish they give you more scones but 1 per person)…sad :-(The variety of mini sandwiches can fill you up but the desserts were okayyy, nothing special.
Overall experience & ambience was very pleasant. Parking is on the street, you might have to park a block up in the residential area if you can not find parking on Baldwin.

I would recommend this place anyone. So charming and classy but also warm and cozy.
The price is a little high priced for what you think of as «tea» but completely worth it! My mom and I had the «afternoon tea» and we were both full and satisfied when we left. You get two kinds of tea (we had the pear and pomegranate and blue lady– both were delicious!), 5 mini sandwiches (banana and cream cheese being my fave) fresh-​out-​of-​the-​oven scones with jam and decadent clotted cream and lemon bars/​dulce de leche/​shortbread cookies for dessert. I mean it couldn’t get better.
The atmosphere is again comfy and cozy and I suspect this place used to be a house so there are rooms and an outdoor area with tea trinkets galore. Plus each place setting had a different tea cup and each teapot was also unique.
The best part was our server, Ivan. Not only did he recommended us the blue lady tea but had great knowledge of all the other teas they offered. Sweet, friendly, polite and professional he made us feel welcome and happy.
If you want something a little different than the everyday routine go here. There’s a reason afternoon tea has existed for so long and this place proves it!!!

If you want tea but do not want to pay an entrance fee to either the Arboretum or Huntington Library, this is the place to go! This tea room is located in old town Sierra Madre about a two minute drive off the 210 freeway and has access to free public parking (very important).
Service: I came here with three more girlfriends to celebrate two birthdays and our experience was nothing but wonderful! Our host was very attentive to our needs, concerns and was nice enough to take many of our group photos. Because we asked, our host even explained that they are also BYOB, we can bring our own wine/​champagne bottle to have with our brunch. Now we know for the next time!
Food and Tea: We all ordered The Royal Afternoon Tea which cost about $ 28. This composed of a three course meal and despite the small portions, we were all very full! Our teas, Royal Wedding and Rose Tea were marvelous!
I leave four stars only because it was a really warm day and there was no Air Conditioning or Fans to help us cool off (this tea room was a house many years ago). This tea room could be uncomfortable once summer commences.

The tea sandwiches were very fresh and delicious, the scones were hot out of the oven, the desserts were great. We had a lovely time celebrating a birthday. The service was excellent. I recommend this tea house and will return.

I am a regular afternoon tea person and this was my first time trying 4 Seasons. Their service — wonderful, friendly, down-​to-​earth. Food — yummmmmy!
I would highly recommend this place! Only thing I would change is to have the sandwiches, scones, and desserts come out more at the *same time* — I was too full to even try the desserts by the time they can out. Will definitely be back :)

My thing is, you have to try it once with the girls. It’s a cute concept, great for celebratory occasions and the excuse to get dolled up for tea is just a classy fun time. We had good service and I thought the really tall gentleman that works there is most patient and helpful with our party of nine.
We took up 3 tables and had 2 tea pots on each table. So essentially, you get 2 flavored tea per table. We spent about $ 285 for a fixed menu for a party of 10.
I deducted a star, because we originally had a party of 10, but only 9 showed up to due an emergency. The stinky part of it all, was they wouldn’t budge and just charged us for 10 anyways. Seriously, you couldn’t cut two less sandwiches or so and skipped a scone? The whole nickle and dime situation made me want to give them three stars.
For most of us, this was our first tea experience. The food is nothing mind blowing, overall it’s just a cute concept. With good company, plenty of tea to keep the conversation going is all we needed. There is also a time limit and we were rushed out, but not before taking tons of photos on our phones.

~ Greetings,

We were determined to make Grandma Joy’s birthday awesome! So we decided to treat the entire family to royal tea!
Now, I had been here before for a Jazz night that they hosted; however, I did not experience the tea. This time, however, it was all about tea!
We were sat promptly when we arrived. The table set up was nothing short of stunning. Beautiful fine bone china sat delicately on the table with real silverware. Grandma exclaimed that it was gorgeous.
Since we were a party of 10, each table (3 in total) received a tea pot of flavor choice. We went for the French Caramel Crème Brule, Blue Lady, and Royal Wedding. Quite honestly, I absolutely loved the French Caramel Crème Brule. Grandma enjoyed the Royal Wedding as it was fruity but subtle.
We were served delicious salads and tea sandwiches. Now the salad is made with fresh greens, blue cheese, almond slivers, and a rose petal vinaigrette which they make themselves. The dressing is divine! In fact, I still have dreams about that dressing.
The sandwiches were beautifully laid out with strawberries and edible flowers. That’s right, edible flowers! Everyone loved the sandwiches. The best has to be the banana bread with cream cheese. It was fantasitco!
Then there was dessert. Now I know what you are thinking, tea, salad, and finger sandwiches won’t fill you up – but you are wrong. With the dessert, you almost need a box. Operative word, «almost.» Who in their right frame of mind would let these desserts be insulted by being placed in a box. No my friend, as a connoisseur of desserts, you must have these with tea. They were so delicious. And who doesn’t love lemon bars, shortbread cookies, and cheesecake?! If you hate dessert then you must hate fun.
The service, much like how I describe my Jazz night experience, was exquisite. Rosa and crew went above and beyond for us.
The experience was delightful. The best part was that Grandma Joy really loved the experience. I think she almost cried she was so happy to have a wonderful meal with family on her special day.
Thank you Four Seasons Tea Room for making our Grandma’s Birthday memorable.

Don’t really understand why they have so many bad reviews. I guess the place is not a fan of substitution and alternation. Three of us have no problem sticking with their fixed afternoon tea selection!
Pretty good amount of tea to choose from (not as many as place like Chado) I like their fruit favor black tea. The aroma was awesome! Their scones are so damn good. Fresh bake and still steaming hot when served! With fresh cream and homemade jam, we love it so much that we had an extra order!
Sandwiches were all good, especially the banana bread was outstanding!
Overall, this is such a lovely place to have a girls afternoon tea! I will def come back!

Very authentic high tea that is not pretentious in any way like the langham.
The teas are lovely but not excessively strong like Irish teas. You can tell everything is fresh and made daily.
Scones arrived warm and the clotted cream was great with them.
Lovely outing with those who you love.
Definitely worth a visit.
