We held our wedding reception at AubreyRose Tea Room, and it was absolutely perfect in every way. When I first started wedding planning, I had no idea they could do wedding receptions — and I’m so glad I reached out to ask, because it turned out to be the best decision.
From the very first conversation, the owners (Missy and Heather) were incredible to work with. Their communication throughout the entire planning process was thoughtful, responsive, and reassuring. They welcomed us in to visit the space, patiently answered all of our questions, and walked us through layout options, menu accommodations, floral arrangements, music, and the overall flow. At every step, we felt heard and supported in what we wanted for our reception.
One of the biggest surprises (and reliefs) was how reasonably priced AubreyRose was compared to other venues and vendors we considered. So much was already included — tables, chairs, décor, place settings, staff, music, florals, and day-of tea and food service — which meant we didn’t have to coordinate or pay for a long list of outside vendors. Aside from a few signs, a card basket, and favors, everything else we needed was provided, and it made planning feel calm and easy instead of overwhelming.
On the day of the reception, everything ran seamlessly. The service was attentive and warm, the food was delicious, and the space was set up beautifully — intimate, elegant, and full of charm. Our guests absolutely loved the experience, especially the tea service. Many had never been to a tea room before and were delighted by how unique and special it felt, and we received so many compliments on both the service and the overall atmosphere. As the newlyweds, we so appreciated feeling like we could actually relax and enjoy our celebration with our family and friends.
AubreyRose Tea Room is truly a hidden gem for couples looking for a unique, welcoming, and thoughtfully run wedding reception venue. If you’re hoping for a beautiful, stress-free experience with incredible value and heart behind it, I can’t recommend them highly enough.

The atmosphere is cute and fun and a change from the norm. The tea is delicious. The soup, tea sandwiches and croissant that comes with your soup is delish. The sweets are alright .

Scheduled an afternoon tea to celebrate my best friends birthday. We were a little frazzled because we didn’t know La mesa changed the parking lot to paid parking and we didn’t bring coins so we had to find street parking.
If you know a tea lover i highly recommend having them come here for afternoon tea! The place was decorated brightly and they offer different hats if you’d like to wear them during tea time. Plenty of cute tea cups and all items needed for tea time for purchase. Our waitress was great, highly knowledgeable in the tea opens and great with suggestions. She stayed on top of keeping our teapots filled and moving us through the courses.
I will definitely be back to try more teas and for the delicious accompaniments with the tea. I highly recommend the almond tea and loved all of the savory options.

Lovely place – ambience was great, tables were spread out and neatly set with beautiful china. The stacked food tray had a lot of variety – especially loved the bread pudding, scones and fresh fruits- wish there was more of the fruit tho. Huge selection of flavorful teas. Service was quick and polite but not overly friendly.

I spent a lovely afternoon here for the first time recently. I was very pleasantly surprised by the gluten-free spread I was able to enjoy! I didn’t feel like my dietary restrictions inhibited my tea service at all. I were served just as much food as my non-celiac, full gluten companion and the food was delicious!
The ambience was just what you’d expect for a nice afternoon tea.
While it is a bit pricey, I enjoyed the experience, so felt it was worth it.

It’s so difficult to describe how amazing this experience was. The food and desserts were so delicious. Please give the eggplant and red pepper soup a try, you won’t regret it. The tea selection was so good that I bought some to take home. I recommend Strawberry Fields and Paris, they’re definitely a must try. The tea room also has hats prepared for you to try on to enhance your experience. Overall, I can’t wait to come back again. This would be a really great gift to someone who enjoys drinking tea and feeling like a princess/queen.

This place exceeded my expectations. The atmosphere, decorations, dishes were beautiful. The tea was some of the best tea I have ever tasted. Aubrey Rose and Peaches and Cream were to die for. The tower of goodies were all delicious as well. The service was 10/10!! It was worth the price. Thank you for an amazing experience I will be back 🙂

ArbouryRose is a really cool spot if you’re into a classic tea experience. The place has an old-school, vintage vibe with fancy china and a cozy setup that makes it feel pretty unique. Good finger sandwiches, tasty scones, and some nice pastries to go along with a big selection of teas. It’s a nice place to relax, especially if you’re looking for something different from the usual coffee shop or bar scene. Definitely worth checking out if you’re into tea or just want a laid-back spot to hang out.

We took my daughter to the AubreyRose Tea Room last weekend. She had always wanted to go to “fancy English tea” and the entire experience was amazing. There was potato leek soup, a variety of savory and sweet small bites, and unlimited tea pots. They even have fancy hats you can wear. Everyone was very nice and not snooty at all. We will definitely be back.

Very cute tea house with amazing decor inside. We were seated outside which was quiet, but is directly on the sidewalk so felt a little exposed. The inside gets pretty loud when all tables are full. With our afternoon tea we had unlimited tea of any flavor (two pots at once) during your 2 hour window so we tried many flavors. The set came with a soup which was really good, sandwhiches, seasonal scones (pumpkin for fall), and desserts. The soup and scones were very good, but didn’t love all the desserts (although my mom did). It is a little pricey but had great vibes and can act as a light meal. Parking can be difficult but there is a lot behind the building and street parking on the side streets.
