Such a lovely find for a local tea service. We enjoyed our high tea which had really great food pairings. All four sandwiches were really tasty from the bottom tier, the middle tier was probably my least favorite, the top tier had all the sweet treats. They also offer a children's tea service which had a lot of great options. The tea was fantastic (we ordered the Darling Darjeeling), but I wish we could have gotten one tea pot per adult instead of sharing one with the tea service. My daughter loved her apple and honey tea. Everyone who worked there was very friendly and they offered hot water refills more than once which was nice. The tea room was chic and very clean. Location was a little hard to find. Waze and Google Maps took me to the back parking lot, but the signage was on the street side of the building. read more

What a lovely afternoon tea spot! I've been to a few around the area and this place was quite small and quaint. They have a beautiful garden out front and they harvest the herbs and produce they grow there for their menu items. We got to try two recommended teas, the Darling Darjeeling and Moonlight Juhi. Both were delightful and full-bodied with the subtle florals complimenting each of the teas. I really enjoyed all the sandwiches and sweets that came as part of the tea set. The staff were welcoming and very knowledgeable as they described each of the food as well as the teas to us. I highly recommend coming here if you're looking to spend a lovely time celebrating something special! read more

We had an early tea service to celebrate our moms! I made reservations so when we arrived the table was beautifully set up. Pros: the bumblebee tea service for $50 has all the fixings savory and sweet! The sandwiches were lovely as well as the scone, and mascarpone and jam sides. The service was good, they were knowledgeable and shared about the food and tea. The interior is small but smartly decorated, cute and quaint. Cons: parking can be tricky and location hard to find read more

Great place for high tea in Lake O. Very accommodating to my rambunctious Toddler. I loved ordering her the kids tea that came with silicone tea pot and silicone cup. I also liked the shrimp and egg sandwiches that came with my order. And after our meal they offered us to go cups of our tea which I was able to take with me on my after lunch walk ! read more

Was looking for a spot to take my mother for her birthday and I am so glad I stumbled upon this place. The Afternoon Tea Menu is $50/per person with a 2 person minimum. Made reservations online. Parking is a bit tight and we parked in back where the dance studio is located. There is outdoor seating, but when we arrived it was raining and we were seated inside. Bumblebee Tea Time includes: 4 assorted finger sandwiches Fresh English scones with Bumblebee mascarpone cream and strawberry jam Assorted Petit Fours, tea breads of the day As for Tea, I opted for the Darling Darjeeling: 2023 Autumn flush red Oolong, rare premium AV2 from highest elevation, Gopaldhara Clonal, whole leaf, notes of muscatel grapes, honey, berries and slight rose. Lovely tea time with mom and I look forward to returning. read more

Bumblebee Flowers & Tea - Bumblebee tea time - Tea Rooms Near Me - Lake Oswego, Oregon

We visited last Saturday to celebrate my sister's birthday and left feeling very disappointed. We opted for the $60 tea time menu, expecting a special experience, but several things fell short. First, all of us were given just one pot of tea to share -- which I've never experienced before at any afternoon tea service. Typically, each guest receives their own pot. They said we can only select one tea. Once we selected the said it would be an up charge of $10 for the tea we selected? Like what? When the pot was refilled, it was simply topped with hot water, so we were essentially drinking watered-down tea for the rest of the experience. For the price point, I would expect proper tea refills -- tea is not a costly item, so it felt unnecessarily cheap. The sandwiches were decent but extremely small -- and very fishy. The salmon and shrimp has a fishy after taste. I'm a seafood lover and I had trouble eating it. Each of us received only four tiny sandwiches and a few desserts around 5 small ones. Afternoon tea usually feels abundant and indulgent, but this felt skimpy. Additionally, the kids' menu consisted of dessert and sandwiches with fruit but no protein option, which seemed unbalanced and not very thoughtful. For $60 per person, this experience felt underwhelming and did not meet the standard of afternoon tea service we've had elsewhere or heck anywhere for that matter. The decoration was cute so I added a star. The picture is for 3 adults. I didn't take a picture of the kids meals. read more

I was very excited to find such a cute tea spot outside of Portland proper. This spot is in Lake Oswego which fortunately was close to where I was staying with my sis. It was her birthday so this was a fantastic little adventure for lunch. We went with the tea service which included savory tea sandwiches as well as a plethora of sweets. My favorite things were the savory tea sandwiches (I'm not a sweets person). I did really love the scone with clotted cream and jam - that was really divine! The tea sandwiches were really delicious - deviled egg, smoked salmon on rye bread, cucumber/apple/mint, and our absolute favorite was the shrimp with the lemon aioli. My sister doesn't even like shrimp and that was still her favorite as well. It seemed to have a hint of Asian flavor to it which really elevated it. The service was wonderful - we enjoyed two different types of tea. They do have a parking lot which is helpful. There is also an outdoor patio which is quite cute - I'm really wanting to come back to try some of their Chinese brunch menu! read more

Loved the afternoon tea, large portions, we couldn't finish it all which is rare for this type of service. Super friendly knowledgeable staff. Super cute setting and sunlight. We will love to come back here. read more

We just discovered the weekend dinner (and brunch) option at Bumblebee Flowers & Tea and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and the meals! The service was amazing and felt very personalized. The menu is varied and has options for everyone - including dietary restrictions. We had one gluten free, one food allergy and two pescatarians in our party. We all particularly loved loved the crispy prawns! I highly recommend giving them a try! read more

Amazing and delicious as usual. The lobster tail was a special this weekend. Or a new menu item. It was so savory and delicious. It looks like it's sweet like sweet and sour. It's not. It's savory and so good. Excellent service. Great wine pairing. Happy Mother's Day read more

Food was ok. But service was kind of iffy. I felt like I was getting glares of annoyance from the waiting staff or that the staff was just ignoring me completely. Came with a friend that required some assistance for seating and when we booked she had told me she wanted to sit outside. I got there first as she parked and moved our reservation outside, to realize the chairs outside were probably not going to be stable enough for her. But as I was asking them to move things outside it was very weird energy. When my friend arrived and looked at the arrangement she immediately said she couldn't sit outside. Luckily they had seating available inside, but it was a bit cramped. The food was decent and the environment was whatever it was, calm I guess. Might try again, but will be hoping for better service. read more

Craving for a hot soup this Fall? A seasonal treat, udon in a hot soup based on a unique recipe that combines a subtle taste of tea!!! What a creative take on udon, and It was amazing, definitely coming back for more while it lasts on their menu! Yums! read more

We stopped by here thinking it would be a coffee/tea shop, perhaps with some food. It is, but it is hard to pin their business model down. They provided table service. Prices were high. The service vibe was honestly a bit pretentious... I mean, sure, it's Lake Oswego, but not Paris. I think they should back off from the table service a bit, moderate prices on food, and become more of an upscale tea/coffee shop. They were clearly proud of their tea (dissuading us from an initial attempt to order coffee... they'll make a pourover on request, but really steered us to the tea). Though the tea that we ordered (Chai) just didn't hit the mark for me. The chai came with cream only on request. I'm sure that the quality of the tea itself was high, but honestly just didn't have the flavors of a beverage that I've come to expect. The food was good. I had a vegetarian dish with steamed vegetables in a sort of miso sauce, and my partner had a soup and sandwich. read more

This is a little hidden gem! The teas are lovely as are the scones and other baked goodies! We've been there multiple times for lunch on the patio which is really relaxing, as well as for food to go. Everyone who works there is wonderful and the service was quick and friendly. The owner is also very sweet. read more

Been here several times. Food is amazing and they go above and beyond with service. Great place for getting together with friends.

A lovely little place to have a special cup of tea with delicious house made items to enjoy. We have also had dinner and found it equally delicious and enjoyable. read more

Update: We've since returned and love the new caffeine free tea options. Of course the food is great, as always, but the tea options have improved as well. I brought my two year old and the staff was super welcoming and kind, with great recommendations on milk tea options she loved. I highly recommend this place. read more

Bumblebee Flowers and Tea is a small, but lovely little boutique tea house in Lake Oswego. My mother and I visited for breakfast and tea back in December. They had an assortment of pastries and desserts in a display case and were currently making scones in the oven. I ordered the Izumi Dreams tea and the Asiago bagel with avocado, tomato, and cream cheese. I wished the tea would have had a bit more flavor, and it came out lukewarm, however, our server did refresh the tea with hot water. My mother ordered the scrambled eggs, and we both shared a scone. The scone was delicious, fresh out of the oven, and we enjoyed the mascarpone cream and jam on the side. Our food was served on China plates which added a nice touch to our experience, After breakfast, we looked around at the plants and books for sale. They had books wrapped beautifully in paper and a couple of plants, but for a place that has flowers in the title of the tea house, there were limited options...Perhaps because it was winter?? Bumblebee was still a nice experience, and we look forward to tea out on their patio during the summer. read more

A new Asian inspired restaurant has arrived in LO! With over 2 decades of experience as a restauranteur; owner and private chef Sunny Shin has brought her talented team to share a special journey with the folks in LO. Bumblebee Flowers & Tea is a place where friends can gather to enjoy conversations in a relaxed leisure setting, while dining on exceptional cuisine. During the daytime, you'll be able to sip tea from a varied menu of Eastern or Western teas and order a light selection of sandwiches, salads, or pastries. If you're looking for a local tea house, look no further. I brought a friend to Bumblebee for afternoon tea, and we ordered Hong Kong style tea for two which included a variety of dim-sum (savory/sweet steamed dumplings). The food is made on-site and be sure to try the Hong Kong egg custard since it is made daily. Our lunch date was so memorable, my friend returned with her husband the same day for dinner. Bumblebee transitions into Sungari Nights for dinner. My husband and I recently enjoyed a 'family-style' dinner which started out with the flower garden salad rolls (it was fresh as if just picked from a garden and served with Sungari's special fish sauce and was absolutely delicious). Next came the Salt & Pepper Prawns- - - the prawns were large yet served tender and savory; while the Mongolian Lamb was tender and salty/sweet. There's something on the menu for everyone. We already have dinner reservations when my daughter visits from the East Coast. We will be placing an advance order for Peking Duck, since the owner has shared that Sungari's longtime chef prepares this exquisite dish utilizing ancient traditional methods no longer followed by most restaurants. Please note, the restaurant chef and wait staff pride itself on providing you a memorable food experience by offering exceptional high quality food and excellent service. Enjoy your dining experience! read more

The tea was a bit on the bland side. Could have used more tea leaves in the pot. I thought it was just mine, but when I tried my friend's tea it was also bland. The scones and egg custard were good. That made up for the tea. A staff member, not sure if she's the owner or not, but she wasn't pleasant. She was very curt and snotty. The only time she talked to us was when I grabbed a table, she wouldn't allow me to sit where I wanted, moved me to a small table. After moving to a small table they made us leave because there were other reservations coming up. I didn't like that at all. They need to figure a way to accommodate all their guests. After being told I couldn't sit where I wanted, then asked to move, then asked to leave.... Not sure I'll be coming back because they aren't welcoming. Now I'm revising my post because it was flagged although I was only sharing my personal experience. Sorry if not all experiences are like mine, but this was based solely on my experience as their customer. read more

I met a girlfriend here for lunch one Friday. I noticed it driving by, with the flower-filled courtyard catching my eye. I'm a big fan of high tea, so I am happy to see this little spot in Lake Oswego. The food and tea were all delicious; a bit pricey. The staff were all very friendly, attentive, and accommodating. I liked that they do grow a lot of their own herbs and garnishes right there in the courtyard. I know they offer a chef's dinner option, which I would love to try, when I can save up the $$$ read more

Be aware this is not your typical high tea service. We went for a birthday and were very disappointed. The ambience was cute but our tea was Luke warm and not hot. When we asked for hot water we were given an annoyed look and no response. The sandwiches were very fishy. Bay shrimp on a thick bread is not something you expect at a high tea. We had no less than 3 people ask us why we weren't eating the shrimp or salmon sandwiches and were blaming us for not telling them we didn't want seafood sandwiches. One server's top was so low every time she leaned over our table to serve us you could see down her shirt. Unprofessional to say the least. The pastries were fabulous. But I won't be back for tea serv read more

We went to the Bumblebee for a friend's birthday celebration. It was my first visit there and I have to admit I was floored. The food, we had the Peking duck was absolutely delicious and so were the starters. The service was impeccable and friendly. We also enjoyed the small setting of the restaurant. It almost felt like eating in someone's dining room. But the very best thing was, that the owner, a very nice lady, explained to us the preparation of the duck and when she brought us a little pot of tea, how they source the tea, its medicinal value and how fresh their crops are, This was certainly another highlight of our visit and I can definitely recommend it to all food and tea afficionados. We will be back and try the afternoon tea! read more

Breakfast Tea experience was very good. We started with Purah tea and a honey simple syrup. Then a three tower breakfast tea treats. Bottoms tier had yummy sandwiches, middle tier had biscuits, marscapone and jam, and pound cake, and top tier had the sweetest treats. Service was friendly and always attentive. The ambiance is clean, floral, bright and inviting. Originally came for the egg tart and Hong Kong Tea experience but we came before 11:30a so we got the traditional tea experience instead. read more

Our favorite place in Lake Oswego. Food and service outstanding. Quality Chinese food Friday & Saturday nights. Highly recommend.

I only go to the restaurants exquisitely good. This place is one of them. Food, service, ambiance, and tea (of course!) are all here. The lady owner took care of my careless mistakes so personally. Thank you so much!! read more

This restaurant is perfect. Talented chef, large menu, small intimate space, kind staff. Each dish is carefully prepared, visible in the kitchen that takes up half of the space. There are only 5 tables. We chatted with the couple next to us--it feels honey and that you are really all were invited to a special occasion together. The duck was delicious. In the top 2 Peking duck dishes I've ever had (I think the only more impressive one I've had was at Mr Jiu's in SF--and they have a Michelin star for comparison!). Dessert was also delicious, I already asked my family if my birthday cake can be the banana cream cake from there. I haven't been yet for tea, but I am so excited to go back. Truly wonderful, I hope they do well because there is so much art in their cooking that deserves to be shared with others. read more

The place is so clean and adorable inside. However, when you are in a tea house/pastry shop type place, smelling smoke from cooking certain dishes doesn't sit right. I feel the air shouldn't be filled with smokiness. It doesn't match the clean crisp tea house vibe. I might be wrong here. When you're seated they state it's primarily a tea house with pastries but there is a menu with a few food items. They didn't offer a wine list at lunch. We had to ask about it. There were 5 employees hanging around and 4 patrons. I felt a little on stage. It was very quiet and maybe some light background music would help. The food we ordered was good. I would go back for tea and pastries some time, I think. Give it a try! read more

I so wanted to love this spot! A very cute location and tasty pastries. We went for tea and were so disappointed that the tea didn't have much flavor. The tea sandwich was a fermented cabbage sandwich. Both my mother and I had to spit it out- I believe it had gone bad as it tasted rotten and spoiled. I was not able able to enjoy the rest of the tea after that read more

I had the pleasure of visiting Bumblebee Flowers & Tea twice, once for dinner. Both occasions were exceptional. The space is very pleasant and inviting, small but beautifully decorated. Each of the wall pieces and the dinnerware on display appear to be antiques. The service was friendly, professional and competent. The owner was there, both in the kitchen and with the patrons, making us all feel welcomed and valued. The food was marvelous, harkening back to the great experiences we used to have at Sungari Pearl. Freshness, deft handling, and artistic presentation were surpassed only by the elegant flavors. Highly recommended! John C. read more

The desserts are over the top so don't skip it. it's a must try. read more

We like going to tea rooms and came to Lake Oswego to visit Bumblebee Flowers and Tea for lunch and pastries. The restaurant is very nice and well decorated. The service was outstanding. We liked the selection of teas. The turkey sandwiches were very tasty and there were a lot of freshly baked pasties to choose from. The tartlets with fresh fruit were delicious, but pieces of cakes were made with butter cream and frosting and reminded wedding cakes, nothing special. We expected to find the kinds of pastries there that are not possible to buy in any bakeries or patisseries like Pavlova dessert or rum cakes with Chantilly cream. Other than that the food quality was appropriate for prices. read more
