The Tea House tea party table

A cottage with a century of stories

Our cottage has stood on Los Rios Street since 1911, a few steps from the train depot in the heart of old San Juan Capistrano. The floors creak, the garden blooms most of the year, and the tea is poured the way it has been for generations.

Whether it's your first visit or your fiftieth, there's a table waiting for you.

Worth gathering for

Some visits are a weekday treat. Others mark the moments you'll talk about for years. We're glad to host both.

High tea, done properly

Tea Sandwiches, loose leaf pots, and an unhurried afternoon in the cottage or the garden.

Birthdays

The kind of birthday table people take pictures of. Tell us who's celebrating when you book.

Celebrations big and small

Anniversaries, showers, graduations, or a Tuesday that deserves better — we'll set the table.
