Beer Garden - Pleasanton

This is a cute place to experience high tea in Downtown Pleasanton.It’s sort of hard to find this place because the umbrellas from the tables outside cover the sign. Just know it’s next to Baci’s. And it’s important to be punctual. If you’re early for your allotted time, you can wait outside or peruse the stores nearby.Once my friend and I were seated, a warm scone was on the table along with the lemon curd, clotted cream, and jam. It was pretty good. It was flaky and buttery. The tea menu is quite large. The tea is unlimited so you can try different ones. If you do, don’t be a newbie like me and try to finish the pot. Looks are deceiving because the pot holds a lot of tea. I was extremely stuffed finishing my pot along with the food so I didn’t get to try other teas.The food options had a good balance of sweet and savory. Out of the finger sandwiches, the chicken salad wrap was the favorite. It didn’t have too much mayo and the cranberries gave it a touch of sweetness. The egg salad also didn’t have too much mayo and showcases the egg. The cucumber one was a nice palate cleanser.The mini savory tarts were good, too. There was a pork sausage one, mushroom, and salmon. Out of the three, the salmon one was the favorite. The smoked salmon along with the cream cheese and fresh dill was yummy. I was stuffed by the time I got to the sweets but I ate what I could and my friend took the rest home. I liked the vanilla cupcake with cherries and this custard that had a stewed apple. The napoleon was okay, but my friend liked it.Service was prompt and friendly. The service lasts for 3hrs and we didn’t feel rushed. It’s small inside with a few tables outside, but I think it’s best to eat inside. The seating outside is narrow and next to the parking lot. There is a lot of plants but not enough to whisk you away to an English garden.The price was $65 per person and there’s a $20 deposit per person that is applied to the bill. Tip is included and I am one of those people that prefers a service charge over tipping. I’m not going to use this as my soapbox so I’ll just leave it at that. However, there’s a place where you can add more… it may be their POS but if the tip is included, then there shouldn’t be a place to add it.The price is a lot and I wonder if it can be lowered if there is an option to not have unlimited tea. But I enjoyed my food and time here. If you’ve never had high tea before, this is a good place to experience it.

The perfect spot for a girl's date! My friend and I enjoyed their tea sets: traditional for me and vegetarian for her. We each got to pick a tea to accompany our tea sandwiches and cakes. My favorite was the scone, served with clotted cream, strawberry preserves, and lemon curd. The food was all bite sized but quite filling. Service was friendly. We did not feel rushed at all, so it's a great option for catching up with friends. That said, the music was quite loud towards the end of our meal. Someone must have cranked up the volume. Reservations required. Street parking. Check in on Yelp for a sweet treat!

I love high tea's and I really had such'a lovely time here! There are soo many options of tea to choose from. Service is super fast and the staff is very friendly. They check in on you but not in a way to bother you since it's a time to really relax and chat up. They offer a variety of tea, different sugars and creamers are also available. But the flavors of tea really pop on their own, you don't need anything in addition. They also leave a scone for you to eat with butter or jam which was super delicious. The food was super delicious. I loved the different kind of sandwiches and bite sized goodies, my favorite was the fried shrimp and a mushroom baked dish. And they give boxes to go for all the yummy stuff, it tasted great warmed up later. It's a very cute spot with such lovely decor. From the time you enter to every little corner has so much cute decor, the ambiance is so perfect to have a nice little tea time with your friends or family.
