We LOVE Paris. Have dined several times. Besides regular tea visits, we have enjoyed Christmas Tea and Mother’s Day Tea. The chef, is wonderful. Makes the most flavorful spreads. Staff so gracious. Lovely comfortable experiences.

Enjoyable but pricey.

If you would like a little Parie and still be in the OC than Paris in a cup is the place to be. An authentic touch of Europe right here in orange. Elegant yet not too fancy if you are wearing shorts. A great gift buying shop to purchase the same things that you would on the champ de elyeese just sayin. If you haven't been than you must go.

This place use to be good but they have removed some of the delicious desserts they use to have such as a strawberry shortcake/chocolate mousse in a mini vase like container. Those were delicious. Better to go to 85 degrees.

I have been here many times and have never been disappointed. They have a wide variety of tea to choose from and will always make sure it is to your liking. The sandwiches, salads and soups are unique, tasty, and portioned well so you can save room for dessert. They have amazing desserts and a variety of macaroons. We have attended some of their special events and each one was superb and festive. (Christmas tea, Best Friends tea, Audrey Hepburn, Pink Panther). Love it so much! Oh my gosh I almost forgot to mention the scones and the jams, lemon curd, and creme.....time to go back and get more!

It was the most adorable, charming little place to have tea with the girls. We got dressed up and had so much fun! The food was plentiful and delicious. Never knew how many different tea flavors there were! The service was excellent!

We were visiting SoCal from various places and were really looking forward to a wonderful tea experience. Not knowing this place, I thought outdoor seating would be lovely expecting a patio or a little garden. I should have called and asked because outdoor seating is on the sidewalk were you are bombarded with cars and motorcycles on the street right in front of you. They should have said sidewalk/street seating but moot point since they are closing.
Kat, our server, was wonderful, and the place was amazing at accommodating us on a very short notice. I'm really picky about food, and their French onion soup, and the chicken salad sandwich were both on point!

I've been coming to Paris in a Cup every year since 2013 and it definitely has changed since then. The menu has been modified since the pandemic and prices have increased, so you get less for more. The "Isabelle" was always my go-to but now it does not include petit fours. I also noticed the menu is missing several items that were there previously. The ambiance is still beautiful and magical. Our server was nice but had way too many tables to attend to, so it took a while to get needed items (ex: water). Our tea also took much longer than expected. It came at the same time as our food. The scones were good. I enjoyed the lemon curd and jelly. The sandwiches were fine. Some were a little dry and not very flavorful. The petit fours (dessert) consisted of a lemon bar, cheesecake and a macaron. All were tasty. Will I go back in the future? Most likely. But not for the food, but because this is a nostalgic place for me. I do miss the old Paris in a Cup, but I understand with the pandemic and inflation that it had to make modifications.

Horrific customer service thus far. I went online to request a reservation from their website two Saturdays before Easter, for May 14th. I did not receive a call back. The Monday after Eater, I went online to make another reservation. I did not receive a call back. The site says if I haven't heard anything in a few days, try again. Well, here it was two weeks for each attempt. I put Google to work, in calling and reserving automatically. Finally on May 11th I get a call that they can not take our reservation. Now on scramble, I should have been notified upon first request.

Had the most lovely time at the Mother's Day tea. Everything was delightful and the staff was very attentive. Along with wonder decor, scrumptious food, and delicious tea, we revived a beautiful teapot/cup gift.

My friend heard a lot about this afternoon tea place even back in her college days at Chapman University nearby! Thank goodness we found such a rare gem! We decided to get Gigi's afternoon tea for two! Comes with two warm scones, assorted tea sandwiches, and 3 petit fours per person. All comes with a choice of tea per person as well. The differences between all the types of afternoon tea is choosing between the petit fours and soup and/or salad. I decided to go with the Eden rose (black tea, lavender, bergamot, vanilla, and rose) which was absolutely delicious. Big portions and I had to take the petit fours to-go since I was absolutely stuffed. Service was just excellent with a shout-out to Brandi who was so attentive to our table even when we didnt need much. She truly made our experience wonderful! This place is located in Old Town Orange so parking can be hard to find, but there are several lots nearby. It is a bit pricey, but it is a nice treat to have with your girlfriends! Also would recommend to make a reservation! I was late, but they were very accommodating. Would definitely return!
Features: Lovely atmosphere inside and out.
