I was invited to a bridal tea party at Mckenna’s this past weekend. What a delightful place to have tea and finger foods! The atmosphere was peaceful and the food was absolutely amazing. Probably the best peach mango tea I’ve ever had. I got hot tea on a warm day but it didn’t stop me from enjoying the yummy scones with my own pot of tea. They offer a variety of tea, coffee and herbal tea. Our group went with The Royal. It’s a 3 course meal of salad, soup followed by the most beautiful 3 tier arrangement of scones and an assortment of delicious desserts. I ate a lot but didn’t feel heavy. We sat outdoors with a table but you can also request a sofa. Karen checked us all in and she was most helpful going over the menu. They can accommodate large parties as well as intimate party for 2. Mckenna’s tea cottage is very quaint and serene. The antiques decorate the indoors as you walk in when opens up to another room and then the outdoor patio. I highly recommend coming here for a bridal party or female birthday party. You’ll enjoy the views all around.

Have to say as a Brit who stays in the area a lot, I discovered this cute place whilst craving a relaxed cup of tea and was totally impressed tea and scones tasted exactly like being back home:)
The clotted cream came really close !
A great warm inclusive place for anyone to enjoy which is what I love about it too

Such a charming tea house that has been a part of seal Beach for a long time. It quite literally felt like we were inside some grandma’s little home. It was such a time stamp of decades ago and the tea sets everywhere were absolutely adorable. Someway somehow all of the mixed match just made sense altogether.
We thoroughly enjoyed our vanilla almond and lavender rose tea. My toddler enjoyed the berry blast tea.
For someone who is so sensitive to heartburn the tomato basil soup was delicious and I felt no pain and no regrets from this consumption
Can’t wait to come back on a sunny day. We went there on a day. It was pouring outside and it was still such a beautiful place.

Went to Mckennas Tea Cottage and had an absolutely great time ! I got my deal from groupon which automatically is the Lady Hamilton, but they allow you to upgrade if you want. Our deal came with a pot of tea per person, finger sandwiches, one scone each paired with apple and strawberry jam and clotted cream. I just have to say that I had an amazing time!! The food was honestly great and so was the service. The woman who greeted us was very kind, and she made me feel extremely welcomed. They were even willing to allow me to choose a different pot of tea when I didn’t like the one I previously chose. The lady hamilton may seem like it won’t be filling but trust me it was ! All it all i had a great time and would definitely go again !!

This is our go to tea place. My daughters and I go at least once every year. The selection of teas is extensive, with seasonal additions. The service is attentive and friendly, the atmosphere relaxed. Dining out on the patio is so pleasant. We have tried most of the food items; we love the quiches, soup, and scones the most! Good selection of tea sandwiches and mini desserts, if you choose.

It was wonderful. So sweet and quaint. The tea and food was, in a word, superb. The Service was great.

McKenna’s Tea Cottage is a cute little place that serves yummy scones, more teas than you can imagine and finger sandwiches that are pretty good. The service is great and Karen is such a sweetie. My problem was that the plates decorating the wall have not been dusted in ages, and there were cobwebs hanging from the ceiling. This makes me wonder how clean their kitchen is.
I’ll probably try McKenna’s again when the weather is warmer so I can sit on their patio.

Mckenna’s Tea Cottage is an idyllic location for tea. I love the exterior, it’s almost like walking into a life-size doll house. The inside is just as lovely. The hosts make the entire experience cozy and inviting. I loved the teas my sister and I chose. The pastries and finger sandwiches were delightful! I’ll be going again to celebrate Galentine’s Day with friends, and look forward to trying the mimosas. I’m telling you, Mckenna is a definite must try! ❤️

I loved my time here. We got there 30 minutes early before our reservation and they sat us down immediately. The atmosphere is comforting and sweet and reminds me of home. The food was delicious and I left stuffed. I should have taken more broccoli cheddar soup and scones home with me! Service was wonderful and staff was very nice. I recommend getting there early just in case since parking can be hit or miss since it’s a busy area. We will be coming back!

I planned a baby shower for 15-20 guests for February, site charged a $215 deposit to book the tables and for “tablecloths”. I requested pink tablecloths, tables were not dressed any differently than other tables. Staff was very helpful on the phone beforehand, but day of event some of the staff was borderline rude. Party was scheduled 11am-1:30 pm, staff opened up after 11 am and had guests enter through a “storage area”. I told staff beforehand that my daughter wanted a cake, which we brought. I was told to “move the cake”, but staff was reluctant to store cake while tea was served. I had to ask for serving plates and utensils. Tea, scones and sandwiches were great , but “desserts” (cookies) and salad were fair. At the end of event, I was told $215 was not a deposit, but actually a fee for use of the room. So total event was over $1200 for 19 people, including their 20% tip. I would have tipped much less based on my guests’ comments about Maya. The 2nd server-busboy was very accommodating.
This could be a great venue, but it needs some TLC in the dining and entry area. Maya needs an attitude adjustment if she’s going to continue as a server. If you schedule a party to start at 11 am, you should be ready for guests at least 10 minutes or so before the scheduled event; or don’t start events until 11:30…
