What a fun way to spend Mother’s Day with the girls 💖 special Mother’s Day menu
I had my daughter’s baby shower and this place made the celebration so special for my daughter. Thao and Thuy and the rest of the staff were so professional and were very attentive to our needs. The table settings, the room and the food and tea were excellent! I did not have to do much. They did the set up and the cleaning after. I was able to enjoy the celebration with the guests and my daughter since everything else was taken care of. If you’re planning any event, please...read full review
I have been to many tea rooms in my 82 years, but this one is the best (equaled only by Tea Time in Los Altos which is managed by her spouse…both Tao and Tim are kind, thoughtful, and hardworking. They have become good friends).
I have been going there for 13 years! The tea and the ambience are perfect, a wonderful place for me to read and prepare my classes! I am there 3 or 4 times a week. Each of these cafes are a beautiful gift to the community.

Lisa's Tea Treasures is a charming Victorian tea house that offers a delightful high tea experience. The interior is bright and soft with lovely paintings and antique-style accessories. The tea selection is phenomenal, with favorites like butter truffle and lychee tea. The sandwiches are delicious, especially the egg salad one. Both sweet and savory items are visually appealing and very good tasting, making the experience enjoyable. Visitors love the cozy atmosphere and the lovely space, which is perfect for celebrations or just for fun, especially for special occasions like Mother’s Day or a birthday. The upstairs can be rented for private events, where guests can enjoy delicious food and tea in a special setting.
People have enjoyed their time here, describing it as a lovely place for an afternoon tea, with enough time to relax and have a great experience before heading out to other nearby attractions. Some visitors noted that the private seating area is narrow, which sometimes makes service a bit tricky, but overall, the staff is friendly. The set menus start at $60, and small tables on the first floor are perfect for 2-4 people, though larger groups should reserve a party table on the second floor. While the desserts are simple and predictable, lemon curd is available to purchase along with a variety of teas. The tea selection includes four different options, but refills can be limited, so guests need to be proactive to ensure they have enough.
The set courses include scones, sandwiches, and dessert, with the sandwiches being quite tasty and preferred by those who favor savory treats. The scones, however, have been described as possibly store-bought due to their sweetness and processed taste, but this may be part of their style. Some guests felt the condiments like lemon curd and clotted cream could have been more plentiful, especially considering the high price paid. Overall, Lisa's Tea Treasures offers a nice, standard afternoon tea experience in a pretty setting with beautiful china and top-notch teas. While the desserts may be underwhelming compared to other places, the charming ambiance and quality teas make it a worthwhile visit.
