TeA'more — Restaurant in Pasadena

I was attending a training session at the HASC across the street from The A'more. I did not want to drive through the rush hour traffic after a day long of training so I decided to look for local restaurants near me.

The previous reviews piqued my interest and I'm always a proponent of supporting local, so I decided to spend an hour here instead of in traffic.

I'm so glad that I did. From the outside, the restaurant is pleasantly on display with a floral arrangement and an Instagram worthy atmosphere. Once you enter, you are met with easy listening music and a very welcoming smile from who I am assuming was the owner.

It is not a full service restaurant and there are only a handful of small tables, think small coffee shop style layout. Since that is the case, do not expect full service dining. You order and pay at the counter and then choose a table. Your order comes and then you eat, enjoy the vibe, and then leave. BUT, even though it's not full service dining, the small things they did spoke volumes of a 5⭐ full service dining experience.

Your drinks come out first, the food was timed exceptionally well after. They even set out your cutlery 🍴 that looks amazing. Very clean, stainless steel, with some decorations silverware.

THE FOOD! It was soooo good. From the first bite, the taste and spice was explosive. Really spelled the word authentic with every bite. I had the shrimp fried rice and I recommend you try it too. Not a lot of food for me but it's a good portion to share with someone if you're not looking to stuff yourself 😉

Their drink menu is amazing and I had a Green Fruit Smoothie. It was aromatic, sweet, and zesty. Very healthy! You would be missing out if you did not try one of their FRESH FRUIT smoothies. Also, I did not add ice as the ingredients were already cold and I do not regret it! You would be doing a disservice to yourself if you water it down with the ice. Absolutely phenomenal drink.

All in all, 10/10. Small "tea house" with 5⭐ restaurant quality vibes. Go there, be surprised, find your favorites and support local. You won't regret it, I...

I am absolutely amazed and blown away by the talent of TeA'more! My family and I have always gone here for pastries and smaller custom cake orders because we always loved the creativity and taste. So I called to order an Elvis themed TCB letter cake for my mom's birthday (she is an Elvis fan) and described the logo over the phone. TeA'more went above and beyond my expectations by googling the logo and they NAILED IT! I did not specify anything other than TCB letter cake with lightning bolt, so all of the creativity you see in the photo is purely TeA'more's! The best part is that it does not only look amazing, but it tastes incredible!!!! SO YUMMY! We usually struggle to finish cakes, but we destroyed this one!! This cake was truly a delicious MASTERPIECE.

Additionally, I ordered some gluten-free cupcakes and mochi donuts for my future sister-in-law who has a severe gluten allergy. I mentioned to TeA'more that she has a gluten allergy and they assured me it would not be an issue. Needless to say, my future sister-in-law was blown away by the look and taste of both the cupcakes and the donuts! On top of that, she did not have any adverse reactions (and she is very gluten sensitive). So TeA'more is celiac-friendly!!!

I highly recommend reaching out to TeA'more for anything, including innovative/custom designs and requests! I am super impressed. Thank you, TeA'more for making my mom's birthday super special and memorable! She could not believe...

The food is ok. I like the berry Smoothie. But i went through the drive thru and was never told the prices are different than advertised. When i mentioned it she said she doesn't have enough money to change the sign but regardless I should have been informed or there should be a note on the sign that the prices are higher than the sign says. That is false advertising

Edit: Hello Ma'am, You gave me a paper menu and explained after I asked and was already charged. When I was in person and said "this is not what I was expecting to pay" you made no mention of a refund or cancellation of the transaction but you do so on a review where everyone can see. Your explanation was that the prices have been different for years. Which I would think is plenty of time to find a way to inform customers of a price change. A simple sign taped on the window stating, "prices have changed, please ask for a menu" would have suffice. Furthermore, this was my second time to your establishment and neither times was I informed of your price changes. The first time I went I thought I read the sign wrong and this is why I looked...
