Tea Restaurants in Pasadena, CA

“Great tea selection and very knowledgeable owners who give great recommendations, for true tea lovers, overall a lovely place, will be coming back!“

“I first discovered Erva Yerba Mate at music festivals and food truck events around Los Angeles, and I was immediately hooked. Their yerba mate drinks are incredibly refreshing—fruity, ice-cold, and genuinely satisfying. What really stood out to me was how I felt afterward: a clean, feel-good energy from the caffeine with no jitters or crash. It’s honestly better tasting and more balanced than coffee - which I'm not a regular drinker of.

I was so impressed that I started going directly to the store to fill my growler and ended up buying bottled yerba mate for myself and friends. Every time I go in, the staff is warm, friendly, and happy to chat. I usually ask whoever’s working to make me their favorite blend, and it’s always fantastic. Consistently cold, crisp, and refreshing. That's why I've enjoyed trying so many flavors!

A friend of mine said he ended up buying a growler from them at the Atwater farmers market on Sundays. He's also hooked!

Parking is easy, which is rare in LA, and I love that it’s right around the corner from the ReStore—perfect excuse to hunt for good deals after grabbing a drink. The owners, Tiffany and Juan, are genuinely kind, welcoming people, and it shows in how the place is run.

I've brought bottles to parties and events for people who don't want an adult beverage and people were SO APPRECIATIVE!

I really hope they expand their food options soon—I love the empanadas and the sauces and would happily eat more there. This place is a gem and a regular stop for me now.

Highly recommend if you want a better alternative to coffee and a great local small business to support.“

“Rose Tree Cottage is an absolute gem. From the moment you step through the door, you’re welcomed with warmth, charm, and genuine hospitality. The owners are truly delightful—gracious, jovial, and endlessly attentive—making you feel like a treasured guest rather than a visitor.

Their tea service is exceptional. Every detail, from the perfectly brewed tea to the beautifully presented treats, reflects care, tradition, and a love for creating memorable experiences. It’s the kind of place that reminds you how special a proper afternoon tea can be.

If you’re looking for an inviting, elegant, and wholeheartedly hospitable tea experience in Pasadena, Rose Tree Cottage is unmatched. Highly recommended.“

“elegant tea with delicious menu options“

“A decent boba spot in Pasadena. I always wished they had more toppings. But all their drinks are good and consistent. They have a really small parking lot with Afters IceCream. But there’s plenty of street parking all around. I usually get their fresh jaded green mountain tea with black and white boba. I like almost all their drinks and the aesthetic vibes of the cafe. But I wish there was a restroom and more space area to sit and enjoy the tea there.“

“First time in a tearoom, and we were not disappointed. Took my 16-year-old daughter and she had a blast. I did the Bridgerton experience and my daughter did the normal afternoon teatime experience. Everything from the smiles, the service the reservation process to the yummy and delightful mini sandwiches was excellent. Samuel was awesome and guided us through our time and kindly explained the menu and how it works. The staff was friendly and the restaurant was clean I am already planning a Mother's Day celebration for the future :)“

“This is one the best boba I’ve ever had, beating a lot of the bobas in Taiwan, including Xing Fu Tung in San Gabriel.

None of that plastic boba you’d get from other bobas in Pasadena or most socal boba places.

This is perfect chewy/softness/firmness. What a find.“

“All good good place the pancakes is fenomenal“

“One of my favorite milk tea spots in Pasadena. The red oolong milk tea is incredibly fragrant, and the boba is always perfectly cooked. I usually order it with 10% sweetness, and the flavor is always spot on. Staffs are always welcoming and helpful as well. Highly recommend!“

“"If you love French cuisine, then Madeline Garden Bistro & Venue is sure to please. The cuisine here is very authentic, delicious and makes the mouth feel enjoyable to the max."“
