Tea Rose Garden

Hello,

Remember those days when you were little and loved to play tea time? Well my mom and I went to the Tea Rose Garden in Pasadena the other day. This place is so adorable! When you walk into the store/place you feel as if you are outside kind of between some houses. The ceiling is painted blue with some nice fluffy white clouds. As you can see, the walls have like parts of houses on them to add to the outdoors feel. It is such a relaxing place. The music is all instrumental and calming. The seating seems a bit crowded, but it's just perfect. I think adding the street lights and the fountain make the theme.

Every time I go to the Tea Rose Garden, I order their cucumber sandwiches. They are to die for! My sister's mom used to make her little cucumber tomato sandwiches that she would bring for lunch and on the occasion be so kind as to share with me. Those are the closest I have had to the Tea Rose Garden's sandwiches. Mom and I both got the "English Tea" which is the name of the packaged deal. English Tea includes a cookie, fruit, choice of tea, sandwich, and a scone. I love peach so of course I chose the peach tea. For my scone I ordered the lemon raspberry scone. To the left you can see that they bring out the foods on a three tiered display. Each table has a cute little bunch of flowers, a glass of sugar cubes, and a table cloth. I can say that I thoroughly enjoyed all of my food. I had to pace myself with the sandwiches because I would have inhaled them all in a jiffy lol No matter how old I am I always feel more grown up when I pour hot tea into a beautiful tea cup on a saucer!

Since it is a flower shop as well, the back half of the store has a station where the workers put together arrangements. My mom and I sat next to this display case that held some of their vivid assortment of flowers. I love love love the pink/purple/magenta daisy in the top right side of the display. I mean wouldn't seeing that flower just brighten your day?

Before leaving I decided to use the restroom and found that they redecorated since my last visit. How cool is that? They added some decals, gems, candle holders, etc. makes it seem more fancy no?

If you are ever in Pasadena and in the mood for tea, definitely give Tea Rose Garden a visit!
