The location is great with plenty of parking spaces. Even the paid parking is reasonable priced, right in front of the store for less than $3, covering 2 hours of parking. The service was very nice and attentive. There are many tea selections and the quality was good. Unfortunately, the food is below average. The scone was dry and hard, and the sandwiches were big but had no flavor. The sandwiches were like homemade with whatever was available in the fridge, slapped them together, then plated them on a tower rack. If there is no expectation of the food quality, it is still a good spot for a few friends to get together.

I went here for a birthday lunch. Nobody greeted us , although we had a reservation at 2:30. I walked over to the register and told them we had a reservation. They had to clean up a table for us to sit, and the gentleman left the place settings and two menus. No one came to the table to introduce themselves or tell us anything about the menu or the restaurant.It was my first time here. I ordered the afternoon tea special and the scone wasn't a scone , it was a super hard biscuit. Sandwiches were dry. We paid our bill and packed our few leftovers.We were already ready to go.Then they remembered it was a birthday and they brought out the slice of carrot cake.

We came to Chado Tea Room in Pasadena for a friend’s blog launch and had a lovely time! The setting is beautiful — cozy, charming, and perfect for an afternoon tea hangout. It does get quite busy on weekends, so definitely plan ahead.
Each of us had a tea set that came in the classic three tiers: scone on top, sandwiches in the middle, and cookies at the bottom. The salmon sandwich was our favorite — super tasty and fresh! The teas were excellent too; we had the lavender tea, which was fragrant and calming.
Service was friendly and attentive, though parking was a bit of a challenge. We ended up parking about 10 minutes away and walking over. Still, it was worth it for the experience.
A lovely spot for tea lovers and gatherings with friends! 🍵✨

My experience was so sub par that it was almost shocking. We did the Halloween tea special, ended up paying $75 each. The iced tea was only 1-2oz in dirty plastic flutes from the dollar store. The tier had a flat plastic bat cut-out hastily scotch taped to the top, that fell off halfway through our time there. The sandwiches were stale horribly made, on cheap white bread. There was a plain Vons cupcake on top, with a tiny macaroon and sugar cookie. The scone was the only good part. I was hoping that the “free gift” would make up for it. I was thinking it would be a lovely little tea cup or something. It was a solid blue, thick stocky mug with lain white lettering that was a collaboration between Chado and some non profit. It looked like something they were actively trying to get rid of, like an afterthought. The entire thing was something I would maybe pay $20 for, certainly not $75. (You can see what I’m talking about from the photos) I spent years walking past this place, wanting to check it out. So disappointing.

The service was fine mediocre. I want you ordered a vegetarian panini. They use a unacceptable bread very close to a plain white bread. The vegetables were very wet and so before the sandwich was half done it fell apart onto the plate. I don't understand why they couldn't have a more appropriate bread for a panini especially with such a wet substance which they should have drained in advance. The tea seems fine. I can't speak to anything else except that there is no immediate parking

We came here on a Sunday late morning for brunch. We had a reservation placed ahead of time. Excellent service. Sam was our server and he was great. The food was good. I ordered a panini, the others in my party ordered salads and paninis. The lemon tea was delish. There were two Latino servers for the whole restaurant at the time, they were polite and knowledgeable. The staff in the kitchen is also Latino. Not sure who owns Chado but I hope they pay staff well as the staff does an excellent job of manning the floor and kitchen.
Parking is lot parking a couple blocks away. Street parking is also available. Get ready to walk a block or two.
Recommended if you want to have a nice brunch or nice tea with friends and family, or with a loved one.

Wow what an incredible time! I hosted a 17-person bridal shower tea party for my best friend. Sam, Alfredo, & Perla did a fantastic job helping our group and ensuring we had an amazing experience. The service was top-notch from the high-end teas to the scones, sandwiches & macaroons. I would recommend them over & over for all parties that want to hold a special event. Thank you to the entire team. It was so memorable!

A few mix-ups with the sandwiches that we switched out, but the staff was super friendly and it was a great experience overall. Would definitely go back!

What a wonderful experience! The foods and teas definitely did not disappoint! We did the celebration tea. Our waiter was amazing and explained everything that was presented to us. We even got a little treat as we were celebrating our upcoming wedding. Thank you for this memorable experience!
