I came here with my 11-year-old granddaughter. We both had a wonderful time because the service was excellent and the food was scrumptious. We enjoyed the peppermint/chamomile tea with our tea sandwiches and scones and will definitely be coming back for more.

The worst high tea experience I have ever had. The food was gross and overpriced. The tiny sandwiches were stale and one of the sandwiches I bit into had a thread of some cloth in it. I thought it was a hair but it was thread. This still makes me question the cleanliness of this place. We sat outside in a busy street with many cars passing by, which killed the ambience. There were ants falling into our tea as well. The gratuity was included probably because the service is so bad. I had to get up several times to ask for a to go box, as for the check and company the check. We were the only two people there and they never checked if we needed more hot water for our tea, so we drank cold tea! Never again!

I brought my partner here for a birthday treat and it did NOT disappoint! Maybe my favorite food items out of any afternoon tea I've tried in LA (and I've tried a lot!!). The scones in particular were a big highlight - especially the feta chive! Our server was incredibly kind and gave us some delicious freebies of things they were experimenting with in the kitchen (Rose lemonade slushie!! Yum!!). The tea was divine - I had the Koa and thankfully I could get some looseleaf to bring home! They even gave my partner a free birthday scone to bring home with us and enjoy. We sat outside and the decor was so charming - beautiful teapots and sweet mismatched plates (which I adore). I can't wait to come back again!
The only downside is it's by a road - it's not and incredibly busy street so it didn't detract too much, but that might not be ideal for some people!

Enjoyed the creative seasonal sandwiches, which are a bit unconventional. However, should add back the egg salad. The extra bonus (mini breakfast quiche) was delicious. Cost is a bit pricier than other tea rooms. Tea selection is a limited .

Afternoon tea is well worth the price! It includes a great variety and will fill you up. They offer unique flavors and seasonal options for their scones. The inside is small and consist of two table, but the outdoor area serene despite being on the main road. The trees outside provide a great amount of shade to keep you cool. Everything was very delicious.

Sugarbird Cafe provided my husband and me a delightful afternoon tea experience from start to finish. The table was wonderfully set like a floral bouquet. The selection of delicious tea sandwiches were unique and different from most tea houses. While the selection of teas could be expanded, we were able to choose something tasty. The scones were the highlight, with MANY different sweet and savory flavors to tempt us. The small dessert bites were varied, and were the perfect complement to the tea experience.
We cannot wait to go back.

Best variety of scones I've ever had at a Tea. Very pretty outside, the indoors is a bit small, so would only sit there based on inclement weather. Montrose is a cute city so it was worth the drive. Perhaps in the future they can expand their tea menu to include a few other varieties. Overall, I'm really glad my daughter & I tried this place.
