The place is t here. Google claims it's open on Sundays; called and texted them, no response....and no signs for them anywhere.. wish we hadnt bothered to drive here.

I came here with my 11-year-old granddaughter. We both had a wonderful time because the service was excellent and the food was scrumptious. We enjoyed the peppermint/chamomile tea with our tea sandwiches and scones and will definitely be coming back for more.

The worst high tea experience I have ever had. The food was gross and overpriced. The tiny sandwiches were stale and one of the sandwiches I bit into had a thread of some cloth in it. I thought it was a hair but it was thread. This still makes me question the cleanliness of this place. We sat outside in a busy street with many cars passing by, which killed the ambience. There were ants falling into our tea as well. The gratuity was included probably because the service is so bad. I had to get up several times to ask for a to go box, as for the check and company the check. We were the only two people there and they never checked if we needed more hot water for our tea, so we drank cold tea! Never again!

I brought my partner here for a birthday treat and it did NOT disappoint! Maybe my favorite food items out of any afternoon tea I've tried in LA (and I've tried a lot!!). The scones in particular were a big highlight - especially the feta chive! Our server was incredibly kind and gave us some delicious freebies of things they were experimenting with in the kitchen (Rose lemonade slushie!! Yum!!). The tea was divine - I had the Koa and thankfully I could get some looseleaf to bring home! They even gave my partner a free birthday scone to bring home with us and enjoy. We sat outside and the decor was so charming - beautiful teapots and sweet mismatched plates (which I adore). I can't wait to come back again! The only downside is it's by a road - it's not and incredibly busy street so it didn't detract too much, but that might not be ideal for some people!

Visiting from out of town. Cute place, but limited menu. Took a few tries to get our order right and even then we were overcharged. Would not bother returning when there are lots of other options in town.

Enjoyed the creative seasonal sandwiches, which are a bit unconventional. However, should add back the egg salad. The extra bonus (mini breakfast quiche) was delicious. Cost is a bit pricier than other tea rooms. Tea selection is a limited .

Afternoon tea is well worth the price! It includes a great variety and will fill you up. They offer unique flavors and seasonal options for their scones. The inside is small and consist of two table, but the outdoor area serene despite being on the main road. The trees outside provide a great amount of shade to keep you cool. Everything was very delicious.

This place is cozy, sophisticated, and overall just lovely! The Playlist is fantastic and the service *chef's kiss*! Love the strawberry time jam and clotted cream as well as the Mila tea!

Sugarbird Cafe provided my husband and me a delightful afternoon tea experience from start to finish. The table was wonderfully set like a floral bouquet. The selection of delicious tea sandwiches were unique and different from most tea houses. While the selection of teas could be expanded, we were able to choose something tasty. The scones were the highlight, with MANY different sweet and savory flavors to tempt us. The small dessert bites were varied, and were the perfect complement to the tea experience. We cannot wait to go back.

My sister and I had an excellent experience at Sugarbird Cafe. The tea selection is fantastic and the tea service was terrific. It is enjoyable to try new combinations of flavors. The staff are friendly, helpful, and attentive!

Best variety of scones I've ever had at a Tea. Very pretty outside, the indoors is a bit small, so would only sit there based on inclement weather. Montrose is a cute city so it was worth the drive. Perhaps in the future they can expand their tea menu to include a few other varieties. Overall, I'm really glad my daughter & I tried this place.

My daughter and I enjoy trying out new tea places a and Sugarbird is in our top 3. Food/tea was wonderful, ambience was great and the customer service was the best. I would definitely recommend it. We even bought more scones and cream cheese to go.

So happy to have a new tea place available! Providing an afternoon tea experience in the LA area is difficult, as we have seen establishments come and go. The scones and other food was wonderful with our pre-paid afternoon tea. The setting outside was perfect with exception of some occasional traffic. Please support Sugarbird Cafe!

The scones are awesome! Th flavors are unique, and the taste is just delicious! I had the passion fruit and my husband had lemon-blueberry. We got the guava and fig-rosemary to go too. Their homemade cream is awesome, just like their homemade strawberry thyme jam. I highly recommend the Koa tea, unique and tasty. The only issue is parking --- not plentiful. Theres also only afew tables, so of you want afternoon tea service, reservations are a must. This is a neighborhood gem that I will keep going back to for sure!

Parking: Parking can be challenging on Saturdays. It's easier on Sundays.

Kid-friendliness: It's a small place, so it's not ideal for kids who run around or do not sit still.
