LA | Huntington Rose Garden Tea Room

After all these years in LA, this might just be the loveliest garden tea experience I’ve had—even outshines some hotel classics 🌸🍰 No wonder weekend reservations book up so far in advance! Important note: Buy your tickets early! Entry to the Huntington Library requires a separate ticket, which isn’t mentioned on OpenTable (check the official website) 🎫💡 Luckily, my friend and I arrived late and got in free—but that’s definitely not the norm 😅 The tea itself was exceptional. Their popular black tea had a naturally creamy, almost milky flavor, even without any additions ☕✨ The food looked simple but tasted anything but. The scones were life-changing—truly the best I’ve ever had 🥹 My favorites were the lobster tart and smoked salmon toast 🦞🍞 Even my friend, who’s usually careful with carbs, couldn’t resist finishing an entire scone! After tea, wandering through the expansive gardens makes for the perfect, picturesque end to the day 🌿📸 #Foodie #AfternoonTea #LAEats #HuntingtonLibrary #GardenTea #SconeLove #SpecialOccasion #WeekendVibes #TeaTime #HiddenGemLA
