Marlene's Tea & Cakes

Jun

beautiful outdoor patio that’s completely shaded and surprisingly cool despite the summer heat. love the tea pots and plateware. probably my favorite afternoon tea spot if you factor in food, service and ambience. the only downside is the tea selection is a bit limited and you have to preorder/prepay online (tax + tip included). they do allow you to switch out the tea after you finish a pot. the scones and clotted cream are worth making a trip out - takeout preorder required.

the decor is gorgeous, the tea is exquisite, and the little sandwiches are delicious! took our grandmother there for her birthday and she loved it :)

Absolutely delightful! The food is fantastic--we all agreed they were the best scones we've ever had. The location is easy to find, and has a decent amount of parking. I am definitely planning on going back!

Marlene is so talented and kind, this has to be one of my favorite places to go in San Diego. We went for my daughter's 6th birthday and have been back multiple times. She's following all the guidelines with COVID to keep everyone safe and we chose to sit on the patio which was beautiful.
