My first afternoon tea experience for my birthday and it was lovely! The food, drinks, atmosphere, and service were all amazing and worth it. Servers are very attentative and sweet. I did the outdoor seating and watching the birds around the feeders was a nice touch. If you are visiting on a chilly day like me, don’t worry as they provide heaters around your tables to warm you up. If you are also wondering if the food will fill you up I guarantee it will (my partner and I came on an empty stomach and are big back certified and left stuffed haha).
Will come again on another special occasion!

We have had high tea at the Grand Del Mar, the Westgate Hotel the Saint Regis before it changed hands and The Ritz Carlton, but MARLENE’s TEA and CAKES has been the best High Tea we have had ! Started with soup it was hot and delicious, then the sandwiches were fresh and tasty., the scones were definitely the best I have had the pastries were excellent. We enjoyed all of it and still had a lot to take home. We will be returning here to enjoy again soon. Thank You Marlene and your attentive staff !

I took my mother here for her birthday. The aesthetic is perfectly her style
This is High Tea, with two seatings, 11:00 and 2:00 for a flat fee. Included is unlimited tea, a soup and your three-tier service of tea sandwiches, mini puff pastries, an apple cinnamon scone (with clotted cream), a few pieces of fruit, and mini desserts. The scone was moist, flaky, and out of this world good! I honestly didn’t know they could be that good
The service is wonderful! They are all very attentive, polite and accommodating. The food is fresh and full of love & care.
I would definitely come back for a girlie treat (The price makes it more of a treat)

This was a wonderful tea room. It was beautiful and elegant from the moment you walked in. Each place setting was daintily set with fine China. The tea selection was wonderful. I recommend the Paris or the violet macaroon teas. The treat tower was gorgeous and set with the most delicious sandwiches and warm bites, like their amazing mini beef wellington‘s and chicken pot pies, and scrumptious quiche. I have been to many tea services all over the world and tested many scones. That strawberry white chocolate scone was the best I have ever had. It was perfection in a bite. The desserts were super decadent and rich, just the right topper to the perfect afternoon.
To top it all off Marlene and Alma were so sweet and friendly. I am a lady of size and it was very comfortable. My friend uses a wheelchair and they were so helpful and accommodating to her as well. I highly recommend this beautiful spot for a wonderful afternoon lunch or special occasion.

What an absolute gem of a place. My mom and I enjoyed the holiday tea and we cannot wait to come back. The tea was delicious, the savory items were scrumptious and the sweets were delectable. We savored every bite. We sat on the patio and it was so peaceful and elegant. Jackie our server was just lovely. What a beautiful start to our holiday. I cannot wait to return.

Marlene’s Tea & Cakes is a hidden gem, not complicated to get to for North County folks, and they have plenty of parking!
We had a wonderful experience with “Afternoon Tea!” Calm, soothing atmosphere and the food options (sandwiches & sweets) were all delicious! They have a vegetarian option as well. Reservations are a MUST!

This was our first Afternoon Tea. We received an invitation to Marlene’s as a Christmas gift, and we weren’t sure what to expect. This whole experience was great! First impression started outside with a very peaceful garden, then as we stepped inside, the music was calming.
We enjoyed 3 different types of tea, and they offered more but we all liked what we had. The first course was a delicious tomato soup. Then out comes the 3 tier tray with the other courses. The savory tray had onion quiche, beef Wellington, and 3 different types of sandwiches. The scones, on the second tier were better than any scone we have ever had. And the dessert was the topper to the whole experience! There were 4 different sweet treats, and even though I’m not big on sweets, I had my full share of these delectable treats!
This was our first experience, but hopefully not our last!
Everything is made in house with only the best ingredients.

Absolutely stunningly beautiful place with amazing service. That she options were plentiful and delicious. The food was also all delicious It just leans heavy on the sweets and not as heavy on the savory so we still felt a little hungry afterwards. It’s a bit on the more expensive side of tea houses but still worth it for how nice and high-end it is. Dress fancy and go enjoy yourself!

I would like to think the pictures I posted say it all! However, they don’t tell you about the exquisite taste and exceptional service. Everything from the service, decor, china, tea selections, and food make the entire experience unforgettable. They have inside seating and patio seating, we went on such a beautiful day, which added to the ambiance. Even on a cold and rainy day you can sit on the patio and keep dry with a tent and warm with space heaters. I have been to other afternoon tea establishments from old town San Diego to Beverly Hills, Marlene’s Tea & Cakes is one of the best. The recipes are all her own and made in house. You can tell everything is made with love, which is evident in every bite. The only thing that made this experience even better was when Marlene came out to greet us, she is such a beautiful person that makes you feel like you were invited into her home for afternoon tea. I would also like to recognize her staff, I was only able to get the name of one of the ladies, Alma, but all of them were wonderful. This is a treasure to experience in the heart of San Diego, I will definitely be back!

Super cute environment and area. Delicious food and tea. Good service from staff.
My first time to tea ever, as I was skeptical for the price and the amount of food you receive and also not a huge tea person, but I will admit it was all great! Tea’s we’re delicious and had so many different varieties. The food was delicious! I left full (not having eaten before hand) and even had to take a couple desserts home. The scones inexplicably delicious! Overall would recommend trying!
