Rose Tree Cottage - Pasadena

I was with my grandson visiting my sister at the Californian. He needed a break and saw an open sign so we decided to ring the door bell. We were very rudely told were unwelcomed and they were closed. Very disappointing experience, will never go back or recommend to

I do not understand the good reviews. We came to pick up a few gifts for Mother's Day. We rang the doorbell and a man asked us what did we want. He was so rude. We told him we were there to shop for Mother's Day. We should have left at that point.We finally go into the store and start shopping. It was so uncomfortable because we were being followed and watched.Finally, we found gifts for our family. Out of the blue, an older lady asked us to move our car out of the parking lot because they were expecting a hundred people. Really?I will never step foot in Rose Tree Cottage

I've driven past the Rose Tree Cottage countless times, and always wanted to go visit and have afternoon tea. As someone who partially grew up in Australia, I have loved strong tea with cream and sugar, and plain scones with strawberry jam and clotted cream, and am almost always disappointed with what Americans serve for afternoon tea. I came with friends and I was so delighted to see strong hot tea served with milk, and although the scones had sultanas, it was the the real deal!We were seated in a very English Cottage dining room decorated with memorabilia that for sure had stories behind them, and looked obviously cared for. The linen, the dainty tables and chairs, the flowers, takes you to England, if for the duration of your tea experience.We started with fresh ripe berries and a cordial that the Queen used to favor (name escapes at the moment) it was so refreshing! Amazingly, more happiness came in the form of Yorkshire pudding cradling delicious Beef Wellington, sausages and other savory delights! And the sweets? Pretty and delicious! The service was superb! The cheerful and witty husband and wife duo makes you feel as if you're long time friends who've come for a visit! Cannot ask for a better, more authentic British Tea experience!Will definitely visit again, and will have to pick up some British pantry (and freezer) staples including Yorkshire pudding, scones, Cadbury's chocolates, Bisto gravy, Digestives, and of course, tea!

3 potato chips, half a strawberry, a scone and a savory petit four for $130 for two! I felt ripped off…And the premises are not very clean either.

Los Angeles is a city of teleportation, and this delight of an establishment is no exception. Stepping inside saves you a flight to the English countryside, where places are not numbered, but named, such as it is at Rose Tree Cottage. Edmund and Mary make you feel both at home but also supremely pampered. Their grace and wit accompany the fullest of tea experiences. Your Welsh Rarebit, Toad in the Hole, and other favorite savories are all here. The freshly-baked scones have nary a crumble. And yes, the tea is delicious.
