Came here for their afternoon tea experience and I love the selection of teas. I had the osmanthus oolong and it was perfect. The employees are helpful and nice and explained everything you needed to know about the experience. The pastries were unique and delicious and the decor inside was beautiful! read more

Chaffee - Afternoon tea set - Tea Rooms Near Me - Temple City, California

My wife and I came to this place based on the pictures of Tie Guan Yin ice cream, but when we arrived and saw that there was an afternoon tea experience, we decided to book an appointment. We both were impressed with the care, detail, and most importantly the tea! We had a choice of 15 tea's, varying from light/floral to dark/bold flavors. Our tea menu provided steeping times for every pour to maximize taste and the assortment of snacks was aesthetically pleasing in preparation and taste. Our server was kind and offered suggestions depending on the flavor profile we were looking for. To top it all off, the space we were given to sit in had A/C in a well lit room. Soft piano music played which gave a relaxing, spa like vibe. Our sitting arrangement was nicely decorated in a modern, Asian chic. I highly recommend this experience for tea lovers who want a cozy 2 hour experience. It was lovely for my wife and I, but the seating can accommodate for up to 6 people. read more

Went to Chaffee for the first time today and it was surprisingly empty. We sat in the back and there was plenty of seating. I liked the quaint piano music that was playing in the background. Unfortunately, they didn't have the 913 King's Oolong soft serve today but the matcha soft serve was still great. I like the subtle sweetness and silky smoothness behind each bite. I also ordered a drink - the 913 King's Oolong Milk Tea - since they didn't have the soft serve. It came with agave syrup, which was a bit sweet for me. Next time, I will ask for less syrup. Overall, good service and worth checking out if you are in the area! read more

My wife and I came here for afternoon tea so this review is based on that experience: Ambiance 10/10, there is a private room away from the main store. The room is lovely with a large window which is great for photos. Food 7/10, heavier on the sweets vs savory items. Doesn't always pair well with the tea, but very visually appealing. Choose your tea wisely. Tea 10/10, tea selection is great. They care about their teas - how it is made (timing) and taste (oxidation). read more

Came last week to hang out with a friend and finally try the tea experience at Chaffee | Ten Fu's & Ten Ren's Tea Boutique. It's located upstairs in Camellia Square Shopping Plaza, right by the iconic floating teapot fountain. Walking inside felt like stepping into a traditional Chinese tea house. The space is beautifully designed with elegant décor, display cases filled with various teapots, and an impressive wall of teas available for purchase. We were led to a quiet semi-private room featuring gorgeous mahogany and cherry elm wood tables and chairs, intricate carvings, abalone inlays, and beautifully crafted wooden partition panels separating the rooms. Our room also had views overlooking a portion of Rosemead Blvd. and a nearby side street. I did have to wait a little before being greeted, but it appeared the staff member was assisting other guests in the back, so it was understandable. The menu offered a wide variety of teas to choose from, and we each selected our own pot. Alongside the tea came a beautifully presented assortment of traditional Chinese tea snacks. Everything was thoughtfully arranged, and the staff explained the proper steeping times for the first, second, and third infusions. An electric kettle maintained the perfect water temperature throughout our visit, allowing us to fully enjoy each subsequent brew. The entire experience felt relaxing, elegant, and unhurried--an excellent way to spend an afternoon catching up with a friend. The teas were enjoyable, the setting was stunning, and the service provided a nice introduction to traditional tea appreciation. My only downside was the price. At about $65 per person, I felt the tea snacks didn't quite match the premium cost of the experience. Overall, it was a fun and unique experience to try at least once, especially if you enjoy tea culture, beautiful surroundings, and a slower-paced afternoon with friends. read more

Kind and patient service for afternoon tea; server explained the tea menu and recommendations for tea Food was good, nice variety in the menu and not super sweet Ambiance in the tea room is calm and bright Overall, a nice experience and would come back again read more

Chaffee tea house offers such a unique Chinese high tea experience. The set comes with 10-11 small bites with your choice of tea. The treats are quite small but cute. Their presentation is so adorable. One tip: try your tea before diving into the treats because the sweets will overpower your tea. Mine at least. I ordered Bai Hai Oolong. The interior of this tea house is also so beautifully designed. I visited on a Friday afternoon and peaceful and quiet which I love. Our server was wonderful and helped recommended options. At a $65 per person, is definitely a splurge, but for the presentation and overall experience. It's worth giving it a try! read more

When we first came in we were given a sample of one of their teas. Once you order your drink, you go to the back and wait as that is where the drinks come out. there are chairs. The milk tea here taste so healthy. But i guess its a good thing. You can taste the 3 ingredients they add to the drink. The only bad thing was 1 of the teas ran out and it wouldve taken 30 minutes to brew up more. You can also buy from their tea selection and i suppose the many types of pots and cups then have for the tea. They have pretty cute ones. It looks like they also do afternoon tea which is a cute event with friends since you might get a private room. read more

My friend saw this afternoon tea option and it was located in the Temple City and named Chaffee so we decided to check it out. It is located in the same plaza that has many tasty food options and also a beauty store on the bottom. This place is located on the second floor and it has a super cute interior. The place is quiet and also very Asian oriented. We sat down on these traditional Chinese chairs that are made with wood and look handcrafted. We were sitting in a nice spot and then our tea service started. Each person gets to decide which tea they would like to have and there is a list. I picked a black tea that was full of boldness. Then came the dessert and cakes. It was super cute and overall each one was a different taste and flavor! I like the setup of it and it was very nicely displayed. Overall we both had a fun time here and it was good to be able to catch up with your friends here! Perfect spot to do so. read more

The Vibe: A hidden gem that feels like a cross between a high-end tea shop and a curated museum. The furniture and atmosphere are incredibly peaceful. The Standouts: The Cassia Tea Latte and Oolong Ice Cream are both 10/10. Dine in and enjoy!

The afternoon tea service at Chaffee isn't bad, but for its price, it's very disappointing. This service is priced at $65 per person, and with tax and tip, will run you closer to $80. Although the snacks are plentiful and presented nicely, their quality seemed like the treats were taken from packaging and simply placed on the tray. I did like some items like the custard taiyaki, but some items such as the spicy peanuts and spicy bean curd were not very good at all. The bean curd in particular was hard and not palatable. The tea selection was good. Each member of your party gets to choose their own tea. I chose the pearl jasmine oolong for myself, but my favorite was the Bai Hao Oolong (Oriental Beauty). The seating area is pretty, and you'll get some nice pictures, but I believe this tea service is overpriced as none of the tea accompaniments felt freshly made. read more

I recently visited Chaffee Tea Room in Temple City and had a good experience. The atmosphere is elegant, cozy, and relaxing, making it the perfect place to unwind with friends or family. The tea selection is great (if you're a tea connoisseur). The staff were welcoming, attentive, and knowledgeable about the menu. Edit: if you give 5 stars at the tea room, you would get free ice cream-- which is what I initially gave. But for the price, you're better off getting something else. read more

Made reservations for a Saturday tea session at noon. The process was a breeze and they are very responsive with reservation details/confirmation. Chaffee is located on the 2nd floor of the plaza. When you first enter, you're greeted by the staff and a showroom of their teas. Then you're led to a tea room. The staff explains the menu and ask you to make your choice for tea selection. We did the $65 tea experience. Each person gets a variety of snacks and pastries to pair with the tea. The snacks were delightful. Their decor is beautiful. Each piece seems to be thoughtfully selected. The rooms had lots of natural light. Staff were attentive and knowledgeable about teas. Teas were great. Overall, not a bad way to spend 1-2 hours. I would come back. read more

I love their oolong soft serve but I usually come for the Chaffee tea latte, which is an iced oolong tea with espresso and agave. Delicious! Came in today and it seems like they are finally getting more business. The main appeal is the vast collection of teas and you can even relax in one of the many rooms with a nice aerial view of temple city, haha. Very good, quick and friendly service! 5 stars. read more

This is such a cute spot for an Asian afternoon tea. There's a great selection of well-known Chinese and Taiwanese teas to try and they're legit. The snacks themselves were pretty, fun to try, and nicely presented. But...they weren't that special if I'm being honest. For the price point, I expected something handmade but most, if not all, tasted store-bought / pre-packaged. Food composition also lacks thought. Nevertheless, the ambiance stood out to me and made the experience relaxing and peaceful. Just don't expect too much from the food. read more

Wanted some dessert after dinner. This establishment is on the 2nd floor right above Mikiya. Super busy strip mall, even on a tuesday evening. You know what wasent busy? This place. Our group was the only one in here the entire time we were there. You can reserve one of their private rooms for a tea ceremony or afternoon tea sampling. But the problem with this place is that theres no where to sit (as all the tables are reserved) for those who are just ordering at the counter. So we were relegated to just walking around aimlessly in the front of the store looking at things, while eating our soft serve. We almost felt like we were in the way or just loitering. All their tables were reserved for tea tasting. Problem was, no one was there for that. So why not open the tables up to those who were actually there so we could sit down? Yes theres a lot of interesting teas and tea paraphernalia that they sell here. Good for a tea connoisseur or an avid tea drinker. But for me, everything seemed overpriced. We ordered there chaffagato as well as 2 matcha icecream soft serves. On certain days, like a tuesday, they have a buy one get one half off offer on their soft serve. The orders do come out quickly. Their chaffagato is their 913 kings oolong with a shot of espresso. It is creamy and good. Taste the bitterness od the tea, then that real bitterness of the espresso. But it was good. Their matcha soft serve is bitter as well. They have other drinks available for order also. Such as milk teas, coffees, iced teas and their signature teas. For those who really enjoy traditional teas this is would be a nice experience. But for me (someone looking for a dessert or a sweet treat), its gonna be a hard pass. I do love the decor and all the teas and tea things they sell. But its just not for me. read more

Eye pleasing was my first impression as soon as I walked in. It's such a gorgeous boutique and tea house that I feel my pictures don't do this place justice. They have a tea tasting experience as well as afternoon tea. Since we went on a whim we were lucky to get a spot as soon as they opened up. The afternoon tea set up is a delicious and a beautiful work of art. I'm not going to write everything we had but my personal favorites were the Custard Taiyaki and Nougat Flaky Pastry oh yeah and the Mung Bean Sesame. So the tea menu was overwhelming for me so I just went with the 319 Kings Oolong that had too many ingredients to name but it chose it for its deep roast. Service was ok and I feel they forgot us and I'm only saying that because I ordered soft serve and twenty five minutes later it came out melted. Sad Face in Effect. So they also have private rooms available and a lot of interesting stuff for sale. I'm still going to say it was a cool experience and hopefully better the next time. And that's my take on this tea house, Peace read more

Although I occasionally come to this Temple City plaza, I never took notice of the businesses on the second floor. It was a rainy afternoon when I met up for some tea here. I ordered a hot 913 King's Oolong, an aromatic and invigorating flavor. We sat in the properly lit tea-drinking area, surrounded by ornate decoration and wooden furniture. As others have found, the service here is attentive and understated. I also wanted to try their Tie Guan Ying soft serve, but alas! they were out, so I went with their 913 King's Oolong flavor. Double the oolong! 1826 if you will. I came back on a separate visit to see if their Tie Guan Ying soft serve was available, and luckily it was. The to-go cup seemed fairly small portion-wise, but the flavor was incredibly rich. Would come back for some more during warmer weather. read more

Located on the second floor of the teapot plaza, chaffee is a tea leaf store/afternoon tea/ snack/ tea shop. The interior was well decorated, service was extremely kind and helpful but I don't see myself returning. I ordered the Cassia tea latte and was disappointed with the lack of tea flavor. The tea wasn't strong and was overpowered by taste of milk foam and half and half. The barista was extremely nice and offered to add more tea for me, but it really didn't change the overall balance of milk/tea. read more

Relaxing place with beautiful decor, it made me feel like "i'm at a very chinese time in my life." Got the oriental beauty milk tea and the chaffee tea latte. Tea was very floral and light, good for when you want something refreshing and not too heavy. The ice cream was good too! Love the atmosphere in here read more

I forgot which tea I got, it was one of the oolong milk teas and I enjoyed it. The star of the show tho is the oolong tea soft serve!!! Had I not eaten dessert already, I would have opted for that. Strong tea flavor and creamy without iciness! I also enjoyed the oolong milk tea. Service was fine when attentive, but it's also a little hard to get their service cuz there was one lady working the front and she'd help out guests and talk to them about the tea. I didn't wanna interrupt her spiel so I had to wait a bit. Gorgeous spot, wish it was closer to home tho. read more

5/5: for amazing tea and fancy vibes It took me a second to getting to writing this review, partly because I wanted to do it justice but also partly because I was admittedly gatekeeping my favorite tea spot from becoming over crowded. But considering I've been frequenting this spot over the past 2-3 months, it is about time I've written a review! Chaffee is located on the second floor of the "Floating Kettle" plaza on Las Tunas and Rosemead. When you walk in, you're greeted with many loose leaf teas, tea adjacent ceramics that range from tea sets and other items, and some Taiwanese and Chinese afternoon tea snacks available for purchase. The menu is simple as they focus on bringing you quality tea brewed with real tea leaves and organic milk and non dairy milk alternatives. I usually opt for just pure tea made less sweet because I enjoy the real tea flavors. If you don't like what's on the menu, you can also select any tea from the store to be brewed. Their chrysanthemum is quite good, but as of Jan 2026 they are out of stock! Aside from their teas, they also have a full afternoon tea set which I believe has a minimum of 2 people to order. There's also special tea rooms for folks who reserve the afternoon tea, so it's a great place to bring guests you want to impress, and reminds me of the afternoon tea service spots in Taiwan. They also have some of the best tea soft serves around, with my favorite being their oolong flavor, but they have matcha as well. The store itself is ornately decorated, with high ceilings, lots of lights, and heavy emphasis on Taiwanese and Chinese culture. There's also a small room full of fancy displays of clay, ceramic, and glass tea sets that are also available for purchase. All their staff and their owner are very friendly and have only made me feel welcome the many times I've frequented the store. Parking is plentiful but can be a struggle at peak hours. Still I've always found a spot in the underground lot downstairs. There's also wheelchair accessible elevators to bring you to the second floor. read more

My friend and I did the Afternoon Tea Set. The idea was super cute while we sipped, snacked, and enjoyed each others company but it wasn't worth the price. Everything seemed to be previously packaged...like snacks I would look at from the asian grocery store, nothing made in house (except for 1-2 items) and everything was arranged really beautifully. The teas we selected weren't bad but I wish there was more in depth explanation for them. I suppose that is what the tea tasting is for but I would skip this experience. read more

Chaffee is located inside of the TeaRen store. The store is so beautiful and decorated all over with display cases of tea pots and tea cups that you can view and purchase. They also sell tea leaves that range from black tea, oolong tea, Jasmine tea, osmanthus tea, pureah tea, and white tea. Staff were friendly and they even offer tea tasting samples. I especially appreciate that they leave you alone to look around instead of following you everywhere. While here, I had to try their ... 1. King's Oolong Tea Ice cream (5/5) Finding good ice cream made with tea is rare to find. The ice cream had a very pleasant, yet strong roasted-nutty tea flavor. It was not too sweet at all, which is another star. If you like fragrant tea, you'll like this. 2. Tie Guan Ying oolong tea ice cream Another non-sweet tea ice cream. I found this one to be stronger in tea flavor than the King's one. Both are good though. It pairs well with any tea or latte drinks you get here. 3. Chaffee tea latte A bold fusion of their house special King's oolong tea with a shot of espresso, which was strong. It is topped with a lightly sweetened whipped creamy milk There's some seating inside for you to enjoy your drinks and desserts. read more

Food - 5/5 - Ten Ren's always has the best teas so I am not surprised that when they added Chaffee as an extension to the tea room, the treats here will be just as high quality. The Tie Guan Oolong Soft Serve is phenomenal. I love the rich and creamy and really felt like a frozen oolong milk tea without being icy. I highly recommend this or getting a milk tea. Price - $$ - This is definitely a "treat yourself" price range. it's unfortunately normalized for the price to be this high but it is pretty worth it for the treat. Service - 5/5 - The server and barista are super sweet and helpful! Ambiance - 5/5 - BEAUTIFUL interior with wonderful tea rooms to sit in. I highly recommend this for groups as you can sit and enjoy got atmosphere while vibing. Location - 3/5 -the teapot plaza is almost always crowded. there's parking but like...no parking at times too. ____________________ **Note: Location rating does not affect yelp review, this is just for informative purposes of other patrons only. read more

This is a great new addition to Temple City's teapot plaza! This place is bigger than I expected. There is such a great assortment of teas and ice cream from this place. I ordered two drinks, jasmine green tea and oolong milk tea, as well as the 913 King's Oolong tea ice cream. I loved every drink and ice cream selection. Every flavored tea had enough flavor without feeling so sweet. In addition, the ice cream hit perfectly. The service was also pretty fast. I would highly recommend this place to folks who want great quality tea and want a clean place to hang out at. read more

Chaffee is an interesting new-ish tea spot in the SGV with lovely iced tea lattes and tons of unique gift items, snacks, and tea pots. They offer a fun new spin on a traditional afternoon tea with an Asian-fusion influence. They keep the vibes elegant and exclusive with sleek decor and several intimate VIP rooms. On my visit I grabbed two of their iced tea lattes to go for me and hubby. I got the 913 Kings Oolong iced tea latte which was complex with a roasty flavor profile. I got it "less sweet" and it was still pretty sweet but smooth. I got the hubby an Oriental Beauty Oolong iced tea latte which was much sweeter with strong honey notes and more floral - it was very nice. The iced tea lattes are plain teas with a cream top which was a thinner cream than most other places but very nice and subtle. They also have regular style milk teas as well as a "Chaffee tea latte" that comes with espresso. The interior almost feels like browsing a museum with all the beautiful tea pots and gifts. They even had an adorable persimmon tea set that I loved haha! This would be a great place for some unique Christmas gifts. Prices for their drinks are reasonable for the area. Their afternoon tea is $65pp so a little steep - and their gifts are a tad pricey as well but seem like one of a kind gifts of good quality. According to the staff helping me (maybe the owner?) it's still the Ten Ren company but with a rebrand to make the name "easier". I visited about 10 mins after they opened for the day and she initially seemed a little put-out that I came in around opening time - but she warmed up a little after I offered to come back later. They seem to still be working out their new opening a bit. They're located on the second floor with stairs on either side - I didn't see any elevators nearby so handicap access may be an issue but it's a large shopping complex so I'd be surprised if there wasn't an elevator somewhere. Parking is a bit of a challenge as this is clearly a popular shopping center and the spaces are also very narrow. The signs above the door still say Ten Fu and Ten Ren with an acrylic banner saying Chaffee so the location may be a little confusing at first if you don't know that they're all the same company lol. All in all I really enjoyed my teas and would like to return to try their unique afternoon tea service! read more

I decided to try Chaffee with my bf. I had this placed bookmarked for quite some time already. What drew me to this place is the matcha soft serve. I usually drive to Diamond Bar to get some. The reviews for the matcha ice cream were mixed but I went for it. I'm happy to say that I approve of it. I can taste the matcha. It isn't too strong. I soft serve is not sweet and you just continue scooping more of it. My bf ordered the oriental beauty milk tea with less sugar. I noticed that the brewing method is a bit different and I think it makes all the difference because the tea taste really good. I'll be coming back with my mom and sister. One thing is that the sign outside is Ten REN's and can be a bit misleading. They also have afternoon tea, which looks like a lot of fun. The ambiance is nice. You surely don't want to leave, but rather sit down and enjoy it. read more
