My wife is a fan of this mini-chain and has taken us here a few times. Unlike some tea places, you can come anytime between 11 and 4 to have tea and get a seat. It is a nice little location that has its busy times but you can usually walk in and get a seat. Their tea is more like a full lunch, and is set up in an atmosphere that feels like an event -- great for birthdays, lunches, etc. My mom is allergic to dairy and they were very accomodating with her food and even had a dessert she could eat -- peach sorbet served in a peach with non-dairy whipped topping. We have been very happy with the service, atmosphere and food. If you're looking for something a bit more Northern, the Menlo Park location is owned by the same people.
