🫖 Lisa’s Tea Treasures, 305 S. Winchester Blvd., Ste. 110, Campbell
Find your happily ever after… This fairytale-themed teahouse’s Victorian decor and English sandwiches + sweets are inspired by famous storybook fables. The “Cinderella Scone” and “Prince Charming’s Delight” are just a few of the menu’s fantastical items to make guests feel like royal-tea.
🫖 K Cafe Patisserie & Tea House, 923 Bascom Ave., San Jose
We’ve previously covered this Instagram-worthy cafe, but beside its floral ambience, it’s also a popular tea party venue. If you’re feeling fancy, try the three-hour, High Tea service at your next private event — just be sure to book well in advance to secure a spot.
