Rose & Blanc Tea Room - Small Party Venue

Today was my third time at Rose and Blanc. The previous visits were spot on but today the food was not up to par.
The sandwiches were good. The Big Ben tea was good.
The scones were DRY!
Also I did not like the jam served under the cream in little pots. It wasn't enough jam.
The Madeleines were overcooked (really dark) and dry.
The shortbread cookies needed salt for flavor.
The macaron was OK but not sure what the flavor was.
The service as always was excellent and charming.

Edit: saw the response and thought it was nice and then we got the fully story from the rest of our friends about how they were treated poorly from start to finish by this person. Updating review to 1 star and cannot recommend this place to anyone. I understand people have bad days but this behavior towards several members of our party was unacceptable.

My friend had her bridal shower here and we had such a wonderful time for most of it. The drinks were delicious and the pastries and sandwiches were very good. We got to hang out and catch up and the women serving the food and drinks were so sweet and even took pictures for us. Things took a turn unfortunately as we were leaving and the woman in charge was incredibly rude to a few people in our party as we were leaving. Someone accidentally bumped into a display and one of the jars broke and the person running this place was very rude about it even when we said we would pay for it. She then told us we were way past our closing time even though we weren’t and told us we needed to go. It was an unfortunate way to end the evening when we had been having so much fun up until then.

I recently hosted my friend’s bridal shower here. For context, groups of 17 or more are required to buy out the entire venue and pay a flat fee, regardless of how many guests actually attend on the day of the event. That said, I want to start by saying the space itself was absolutely beautiful and perfectly brought my vision to life.

On the day of, I arrived earlier than expected due to the long drive and the need to store perishables. I got there at 2:30 PM and politely asked if I could quickly place a few items inside while setup was still underway. Unfortunately, I was met with immediate hostility from the head server. I understand that early arrivals may not be ideal, but we are blessed with the ability to kindly say “no”. I would have completely understood. Instead, the interaction felt unnecessarily rude and unwelcoming. This was my first time speaking with her, and naturally I had a few questions. Her responses were short and dismissive, though she eventually allowed me to place the items inside after I explained that we had traveled from out of town.

When I returned at 3 PM to begin decorating, I hoped I would not have to interact with her again. Unfortunately, it quickly became clear that she was the head server and would be present throughout the event. While I tried to keep my distance, she certainly made her presence known. Several guests mentioned that they felt she was being condescending and unnecessarily strict. From the start of the event to the end, she made us feel rushed. I completely understand the importance of sticking to the schedule, and I made sure our group was aware of the timing. We only went two minutes over, yet still felt pressured throughout the entire experience. This was especially disappointing given that our entire party had traveled over two hours and we had reserved the entire venue. A little understanding and kindness would have gone a long way which she did not possess.

I understand that working in customer service can be demanding and isn’t for everyone but in a setting where people are celebrating meaningful life events, it is important to be professional. Everyone has bad days and perhaps this was just an unfortunate day for everyone involved. Still, it was disheartening given the amount of time, effort, and money that went into making the event special.

That said, I want to sincerely thank the rest of the staff. The other servers were kind, helpful, and even took photos for us. Their warmth and professionalism really stood out and helped make the event enjoyable for the bride and our guests. I hope this feedback is helpful in improving future customer experiences.

EDIT: After the pleasant response from the owner, I have updated my rating from 2 to 3 stars. While I can sympathize with the head server having a bad/off day, several of our guests had different experiences of her poor behavior throughout the event that they mentioned to my family after it was over. This treatment isn’t acceptable for anyone but especially not to people who paid well to rent out the entire space and were celebrating such a joyful milestone. Again, thank you to the other girls for being so kind & attentive and to the owner for their quick and understanding apology. Truly appreciated!

My friends and family hosted my bridal shower here and we had a mostly pleasant time except for the end. The sandwiches and treats were tasty, the set up was lovely, and the girls serving were very nice. However, at the end of the event while walking to the bathroom someone in our party accidentally bumped into the counter and hit a small tea dish off the table and it broke. We were immediately apologetic and made it clear we understood if we needed to pay. The head server was then VERY RUDE and snarky letting us know we would have to pay which we had already said okay to. She then goes to angrily talk on the phone in the back while rolling her eyes and comes back and VERY RUDELY says we don’t have to pay but we were “way past our time and needed to leave”. It was 5:40pm and based on my understanding our event ended at 5:30pm and we had 15 minutes to clean up which we were doing. I was so disappointed by this interaction and it put such a sour ending to what was otherwise a wonderful 2 hours. This total lack of compassion & customer service for a small mistake solidifies that I can’t recommend this place to others for events. Thank you to the other girls serving for being so kind and even taking pictures for us.

My party and I had never done teatime before and I swear we left different women. The environment was so feminine and classy, but still felt very homey and cozy. The tea attendants were also so kind and provided very attentive service. Los Angeles is so lucky to have a space like this for them to come together, enjoy delicious pastries, Explore wonderful teas, and leave closer than when they came. I cannot speak for the rest of my party, but I will definitely be back Someday soon. Maybe even for a solo teatime!

I jad recently came with my cousins for one of their bday celebration. The experience was fun overall, and the pastries were delicious. They had a great variety of tea options, but I do wish we could've had the option to do tea refills.

Very good afternoon tea without breaking the bank. It was a good time as well, as my friend and I didn't have to encounter loud and large group parties that day. Thank you for a good afternoon tea experience.

Delicious! Sandwiches are excellent! Who would have guessed? Palais des thes brand tea from Paris served in pink china with perfect professionalism in a strip mall in K town?! And easy parking to boot!

Very good tea service that is affordable. The sandwiches tasted great and each person got their own tea choice and small tea pot. The desserts were too sweet but the cream puffs were great. The cold cream filling for the puffs was a great texture. It would be made even better with a crunchy exterior or filling element to chew on.

Great food, tea and ambience! My sister and I very much enjoyed our tea time! It's was a nice little getaway away from all the hustle and bustle of LA life. Located conveniently in the city, there was plenty of parking. We loved it and will be back soon.

The room is lovely, and the staff is welcoming and attentive. It's fun to spend an afternoon with friends for a special occasion. The day we went, the room was filled with ladies delighting in each other's company. The selection of hot and iced teas is plentiful, and the ones we tried were all excellent. The treats were good. The scones were the best thing on the plate. The sandwiches were a bit stale, but they were still tasty. We had a good time.

Really nice place enjoy delicious a tea time .
