Chado Tea Room

Mayumi Arai EXP Realty

We just came back from London and missed to eat scones. Their scone is English style and tasty. The cream is good. We appreciate that they serve blooming tea and we could order as a pot tea of afternoon tea. Only thing I did not like is that the sandwich bread was a bit dried. You can enjoy an afternoon tea at an affordable price.

Amazing customer service, delicious tea and food! Some of the best tomato bisque I've ever had. Beautiful presentation, excellent service. The tea room was understaffed, I felt bad for the employees. The music could have been better. Overall good experience!

Very accommodating. I’m gluten free and dairy free. They had gluten free bread and dairy free cream cheese. If you’re planning on going, I’d recommend getting a reservation with dietary restrictions noted before hand. Huge selection of tea. No gluten free or dairy free options for the scones or desserts. But good otherwise.

Let me preface this review by saying I’m - and *especially* my partner who I visited here with - are pretty particular (aka; snobby) when it comes to tea. Especially when the label “cream tea” is attached to it I automatically compare it to my favourite tea rooms in Devon. My partner makes his own amazing scones and clotted cream and drinks a cup of tea on average four times a day. We’re extra ‘bout tea! Chado itself is adorable inside and a lovely way to escape off the hectic streets of Hollywood. There’s a whole wall full of quirky teapots! We were also introduced to the insanely expansive textbook-sized menu of teas which (who I assume was) the owner kindly started walking us through. He definitely knows his stuff that’s for sure! We wanted a pot of black tea and decided to give their namesake Chado breakfast blend a go. We also each ordered a plain scone with cream which the owner described as a light and airy whip and not sour like clotted cream (since when is clotted cream sour?) Our Chado breakfast was served in a cute elephant teapot with a little cat on top, the taste of the tea was a touch mild for our taste (we wanted something punchy so probably should’ve just gone with an Assam) or maybe it could’ve just done with a minute more brewing time. The texture of the scones was off because the dough was definitely overworked which I can’t necessarily fault Chado for since they get them delivered in. Maybe we got a bad batch? Taste wise scones were perfectly fine but really needed the cream because it would’ve been too dry on its own. Overall I would say we enjoyed our time at Chado not because it was a particularly authentic or truly delicious cream tea but instead for the calm ambiance of the place, a brief escape from Hollywood, and for the kindness of the people that worked there.
