Chado Tea Room

The Scene – This elegant dining room is appointed with delicate doilies, white linen-covered tables and a shopping array stocked with an impressive display of teas from around the world.

The pleasant staff comes and goes in a hush of efficiency. – – The Food – High tea offers traditional British-style finger foods delivered on a tiered tray.

Parking:: If the lot is full, try your luck on Orlando Avenue--both free and metered parking is available.
Look Good:: If you want a sandwich that's not offered in the afternoon tea, but is featured on the regular menu, ask your server to substitute it.

Cozy and cute - cucumber sandwiches anyone?

by Cityslouch

Stepped into this quaint and cozy spot with a couple friends a few weekends ago. They were cleaning up after a baby shower but still had time to showcase the amazing array of teas. The tasty tea tiers help to set the mood for a lazy afternoon of gabbing. The lavendar earl grey I had was a bit overpowering, but my friends loved the chai and chado teas. Overall thumbs up!

Pros: Cute place for showers, afternoon tea tier's the way to go
Cons: Service attentive, but understaffed

Best Afternoon Tea Place in Los Angeles

by kintera

This is a great place to catch up with a friend. The restaurant offers a wide array of tea to satisfy all kinds of tea lovers. You can order the tea cold as well as hot. Although I enjoy green tea, I enjoy sweet and creamy teas with my scone. I recommend the Phoenix tea which is has a sweet, caramel flavor. Definitely a must-try!

Standout scones and tea in an unpretentious atmosphere

by jhoolko

Chado tea room is a funny little place. Mostly classy with a hint of kitsch, the dining room is decorated in a traditional lacy tearoom style with unexpected touches, like a curiously executed painting of panda bears. But decor aside, this place is great. All of the good parts of afternoon tea with none of the pomp or snobbery, this tea room is perfect for a nice afternoon break with friends. The tea menu is unbelievable, and provides a great description of each tea and the perfect opportunity to try something new. I think my favorite part of the visit was the scone with Chado cream, though, served with fresh sliced strawberries and preserves. Absolutely delicious, and the perfect option for anyone looking to pass the afternoon in a relaxing place that won't break the bank.

Pros: Affordable daytime activity, Great scones, superb tea selection.
Cons: None! A complete delight!!

Good for both having tea and buying tea

by gregls

Three things make this place standout from other places to have "afternoon tea." First, you can have any tea they carry. As this is a tea shop, their tea choices make most high tea venues look deficient. Second, their sandwiches are traditional with a unique twist (not to mention very tasty and served on toast). Third, its more casual without losing the high tea atmosphere. The staff is very pleasant and they recognize their regulars (you become a regular the second time you drop by within a week). And the prices are great. If your significant other keeps bugging you to take her to a nice tea, this is the place. Good tea (they'll even make it iced for you), a substantial lunch, and a reasonable place.

Pros: Broad choices, good tastes, reasonable prices and friendly staff
Cons: Parking - its 3rd street

I am a frequent tea person,..always searching for new tea and dessert places. I have to say that Chado Tea room is the best. They have the widest tea selection out of any tea room I have ever been, their sandwiches are great and the scones come out nice and warm. Chado cream is delicious,..its very addictive. Good service, good price, I recommend this place to everyone!
