I never expected to find such a warm, British-style tea room right here in OC! The owner was incredibly welcoming and kind, and I loved the extensive variety of teas available. Best of all, the parking was effortless. If you're planning a visit to Old World Village, I highly recommend stopping by this charming spot!

A very home style cottage like feel in the Old World Village area. Walking in, you'll notice the old "grandma" feel and vibes to the place and its absolutely adorable. However it was a bright and sunny day, so the interior temperature was at least 80 degrees and fans were blowing. So not the ideal feeling for a delicate tea time snack. We got scones and crumpets with some tea service as well. The scones was delicate and crumpets were soft and delicious with the homemade butter and jam. The pricing was a bit on the steeper side of things, however it wasn't too outrageous for these days. Pamela's also has a small section for UK imported goods for the ones who are looking. I had a great time at Pamelas and they scratched my itch for tea time. read more

What a cute and authentic location. Perfect for an afternoon tea or a quick lunch. They have a full variety of freshly baked items and teas to choose from. I love it for a quick afternoon break or lunch with some friends. The scones are to die for and so are the crumpets! A little tucked away, but worth the adventure to find! read more

We like the place a lot, the ladies who run the place are very nice and good and all they do, the food and the tea was my favorite part. I love the sandwiches, they were all different and delicious, the tea was amazing also, and they do have a little store where people can get stuff from food to souvenirs. The place is very unique and is also clean. They take their time with the food bc the place is always full, actually as far as I know they just get reservations bc they are also short in staff. The only thing that I will probably point is a the price, I felt it was a little too much but I guess that is an option. read more

Was just okay. Food tasted good even though it didn't look very good. Amblience is just okay. The reason I am writing this review though was something that happened went I went to pay. Super sketch how she gives herself a 22% tip (on top of the check and tax) before she even turns the screen around for you to sign. She does this very very quickly before you can even figure out what she's doing. You cant see it until you sign and get your check. She did this exact same thing to everyone in my party. Hope this helps her next patrons and they point it out so she is forced to stop this practice. read more

My boyfriend took me here so we could enjoy a fancy English-style tea time--and it was such a cute experience! We ordered the Quickie and Pamela's Cream Tea, and they served it with milk and sugar, just like tradition. I'd definitely come back with friends or him again. It's located inside International Plaza. (68/100) read more

Located in Old World this is a quaint place for a spot of tea. Pleasant service that will let you relax and enjoy your visit. We had the "Afternoon Tea" which consisted of 2 scone biscuits (4/10 for density) with a dabble of jam and cream, salad (6/10 for taste and presentation) with a super thick creamy dressing, potato chips, and your choice of 2 tea sandwiches (8/10 for cucumber and cream cheese and cashew chicken). You also receive your own tea pot with choice of tea. I had the Christmas in a Cup one that had a hint of cinnamon (4/10). Overall a nice place to visit and enjoy. Moderately priced. read more

My best friend lives in Long Beach and any time I visit her we usually go out for afternoon tea, so I've been slowly trying all the places in the area. We hadn't done a ton of advanced planning, so I was looking for a place that had same day availability for a party of three and after calling around Pamela's was able to fit us in. I was a little nervous after reading some of the reviews however we had a lovely experience overall. There might not be as many "frills" as other tea parlors but the food was good, there were several teas to choose from and the staff was friendly and attentive. I also loved that they had a little store section at the back of the shop with all british goods. The location was nice as it was in a shopping village however the parking in the lot was quite limited on a Sunday afternoon so I would alot some extra time for parking during peak hours. read more

Excellent food and service. The sticky toffee pudding was great to find in California .

STEPH JUDGEMENT: Pleasant place for a relaxing spot of tea. I have a friend who loves high tea, and she suggested this place for lunch. I hadn't been to Old World in ages and had no idea where this place was, and ended up walking around the whole place before finally spotting it. We both decided on the high cream tea ($36 as of this writing), which came with the following; Soup du jour: Potato leek soup with a tiny piece of bread--piping hot and good 2 tea sandwiches: salmon salad and egg salad with cucumber (yummy), served with potato chips (crisps) and salad (the lackluster bagged variety). The salad dressing is this super-thick creamy honey mustard thing called Salad Cream, which was all right. Two Scones that were dense but flaky, served with clotted cream and jam. The interior was cozy and pleasant, and quite busy on the day we went. The service was a bit harried but fine overall, especially after the lunch rush. We had a nice time relaxing and lingering with our tea. Afterwards we perused their little market section with all manner of British goodies. If you're in the mood for a British high tea, this is a pretty good spot. read more

My daughter and I went for the Mother's Day Tea; we were so disappointed with the service and the food...not what we expected for a tea, especially a Mother's Day tea. The food was mediocre and the service was disappointing; I've been before with my husband for Mother's Day a couple of years ago and it was much better. I don't know what happened this time, but truly disappointing. read more

Our first tea at Pamela's. My friend and I have enjoyed tea at many, many tea houses all around Orange County for the holidays. Just found out Old World Village had Pamela's so of course we needed to try it out. My friend made reservations for a Saturday at Noon. We arrived and they were ready for us. There were other large and small parties already seated. The ambiance isn't anything fancy, just a real English tea house. However the service and personalities of Pamela, the owner and other servers were awesome!! Pamela and the server from Ireland were delightful!! We bought the high noon tea for $36 which included our choice of tea, small side salad or soup de jour which was either tomato bisque or oxtail soup on the day we visited. Both were delicious bc I didn't think I'd like the oxtail, but my girlfriend decided to try it and I got a little taste and OMGosh, super tasty. Apparently Pamela's husband makes it from scratch. Also you get to choose two different types of sandwiches (which equal about 1 full small sandwich). I chose the chicken cashew and ham & cheese which both were tasty but I would have preferred something other than ham & cheese. It was just okay. My girlfriend is gluten intolerant and she was thrilled they had gluten free bread and scones. She very much enjoyed the cashew chicken and egg salad but called egg mayonnaise. Her sandwich was served open face and equalled 1/2 of sandwich. Lastly it came with two scones apiece, clotted cream and jam. The cream was a butter consistency. I would have to say, I wasn't a huge fan of it but add the name to it and it was much better. The servers were great at checking back with us even though they were extremely busy running. Always loved chatting with Pamela and the Ireland server (I'm sorry we didn't get her name). Again super kind and friendly!! The tea house has a small market to buy various foods from England plus gift items and loose tea and tea bags for purchase. Parking at Old World Village wasn't a problem but then again we went early. They also have dining outside on their back patio or in front of the tea house. It was busy and constant with people coming and going. Definitely a lovely experience and I would love to enjoy it again. ps. only 1 bathroom read more

Went in for a tea during a weekday. sat for 10 minutes without a menu, 20 before we flagged someone down to help. place was super hot with them cooking behind a faux wall and looked like a sad garage sale tea room. after 20 minutes., someone asked our teas, then asked again and again because they couldn't remember. finally just got up and left as we still had not been served. only 3 tables in the place and 3 women running around frantically that couldn't handle what was going on. with so many great eateries in Old World, hard pass. read more

Located in Old World Village, this British tea room made a fun afternoon w friends for a birthday party. They have soups, salads, crumpets, scones, sandwiches, and lots of teas to choose from. I liked the lemon posset (special) dessert , Pamela's tea and Peach Apricot tea (this one was the group's favorite). My friends also enjoyed their scones, sandwiches (salmon, Coronation chicken, cucumber, curry). They do wish that everyone who attends orders some sort of meal be it small or big. If coming on a weekend, definitely make a reservation especially if with a group. @grace.loves.socal #grace.loves.adventures read more

They have a lot of potential but they need some help. The positive experience was their selection of teas. We got to try at least five different flavors and they were constantly refilling the teapots. Five stars for that. We just had a group tea there this morning and no one was impressed with the food. We started off with four tiny tea sandwiches and a little salad. The portions should have been bigger or at least an interesting tea sandwich. They were cucumber&cream cheese, tuna, egg salad, ham and cheese. Boring! The dressing for the salad tasted like Hellman's mayonnaise mixed with lemon juice. Nobody liked it. The desserts were a nice selection But again the portions were way too small. A little square of cheesecake, a quarter of a strawberry, a tiny lemon square, and a scone with jam and clotted cream. The clotted cream was overmixed and it had the consistency of butter. There's not a lot of space inside so we were kind of squished together. I will say that their grocery section in the back where you can purchase some specialty items was cute but they should utilize that space for more tables to eat. We all left hungry and were looking for another restaurant to eat at. read more

I love Pamela's. They had mulligatawny soup today- one of my favorites. I use to go when they were right off the 22fwy. Now they finally were able to open in HB in The Old World Village ( cute place)- they had dachshund races when we were there. Anyway, Pamela's is always a pleasure. The only not so good thing was checkout....small area that was very busy, can barely stand there had to keep moving out of the traffic way and the lady checking me out was frustrated and rushed- was irritated I took the time to change the tip on my check out, she obviously needed to be elsewhere right then, and actually was trying to push the buttons for me! That kinda of did surprise me. And I was patient waiting up front to even get checked out. read more

We came here for a Grandma/Granddaughter Tea time! We had been to Pamela's at their Garden Grove location. I didn't realize the moved! 2 years ago!

Frances was wonderfully accommodating and advised us perfectly! We loved our Afternoon Tea! read more

Located at the old world village. They were accommodating. The cool part about this place was that they were able to do free refills and able to change up the tea. Sandwiches and scones were OK but weren't impressive. It did feel like they were rushing for us to leave. Sad that our food wasn't served on a tiered stand like other places. It was warm inside as well. The biggest disappointment with this place was that the restroom was not accessible for people with disabilities. There were no handrails and will not fit anyone with a wheelchair/power chair. read more

This was a quaint, precious find tucked into Old World. I appreciated that this afternoon tea leaned towards and more authentically British and less Americanized and modern. It's two types of sandwiches and scones with a salad and crisps. I highly recommend adding crumpets for everyone in your party to try because they are delicious and you can't find tasty ones like these anywhere else nearby. And the lemon curd. The service is friendly and cozy and provides a fun atmosphere. The ladies are very helpful with what to choose on the menu. They periodically check the tea pots to ensure they never go empty. I loved the store in the back. It included plenty of British favorites for sweets, crumpets, snacks, etc. I bought crumpets and lemon curd and can't wait to try it at home! read more

I'm a huge fan of high tea and was trying this tea room with a large friends and I felt pretty disappointed with afternoon tea service here. First of all, the server wasn't as friendly and was very short with responses when we had questions and they seemed to be rushing us to make decisions as quickly as possible. The owner on the other hand was very kind and even stopped to chat with us so perhaps it was just that staff member that was a little bit short with us. When it came to the tea, some of the tea was very bitter and had an unpleasant aftertaste unfortunately, perhaps we just received a bad batch. For the actual meal I also wasn't a fan of the salmon sandwich it just wasn't on par with other tea places I've been to. I also wasn't a fan of crisps in my afternoon set, that's my first time seeing that in an afternoon tea set but I just wasn't for me. I also didn't like the salad dressing as it was just too sweet and some of the girls said it tasted like thousand island dressing. At one point they forgot to bring scones for some people at our table and even ran out of scones but they did bring us extra free desserts which was very nice of them. Overall, the tea room itself was very cute but I don't think the tea and food quality is as good as other tea rooms I have visited. read more

Well over priced! Its a good lunch place with tea. I would value you around $15 not $35. The scones were doughy and lacked flavor. I never add salt to my food, but I needed to today!

Was so looking forward to taking my daughter and granddaughter to enjoy English tea. Was very disappointed. Not at all what I expected. Atmosphere was not relaxing and the service was terrible. Two women next to us left after being ignored for 20 minutes. Food was average and very over priced for what you get. Would not recommend. read more

The tea and finger foods were yummy, but it was over priced and the ambiance was awful. The woman who runs the room was incredibly loud and used profanity while gossiping with another employee. She didn't pick up her feet when she walked and the whole room echoed all of her noise. I have never left a tea room feeling overstimulated. This was a first. read more

Everything about Pamela's Tea Rom is exceptional. If you can't get to London this is the next best thing. The tea and scones are fresh and homemade along with most everything else they offer The service is always fast and friendly , the girls are very helpful and willing to answer any questions you have Pam' s is the perfect place to celebrate special occasions birthdays wedding showers or just get the girls together for tea. Reservations are needed for large groups but walk ins are always welcome. We come for tea about once a month and have never been unhappy with our visit read more

Disappointing. Bad food. Rude service. My biggest problem is with the menu. Some items on the menu state they are priced per person and some items do not. For example the High Cream Tea says $36 and the Afternoon Tea says $31 (per person). This makes it seem that the High Cream Tea is to be shared since it does not indicate per person like the other tea options. It is not shareable. I was confused during the ordering process and tried to ask the waitress (Pamela) but she was kinda rude. We ended up receiving two high cream teas, which is fine, but fix your menu because it seemed like we were ordering one. Also, it is no where near $36. I would pay $12 for the quality & quantity of the High Cream Tea. read more

Such a sweet spot in Huntington Beach. I saw them in Garden Grove and then saw they moved. Went with my aunt and two daughters. We got 2 high Teas and two Princess teas. We left with bellies full.

Pamela's Tea Room, located in Old World Village, is so cute and cozy. We had a wonderful experience! All four of the ladies in our party loved the Afternoon Cream Tea. The finger sandwiches were very tasty, alongside fresh green salad and crisps. My favorite part was the delicious, tender scones. One plain and one lemon lavender; accompanied by clotted cream and jam, of course. We tried three different, delightful teas- all a great compliment to our lunch. The decor was so cute and the service staff took very good care of us. This was a super fun experience and we'll be back soon! read more

I was excited to find a local tea shop in OC. However I was extremely disappointed with everything from the tea all the way to the scones. I ordered the high tea and afternoon tea for my mom. Potato and leek soup tasted awful, coronation chicken was NOT authentic. Crisps were the only thing that had a decent taste. Tea for two was nearly $80 for two sandwiches a pot of tea and scones. Service was bad. I kept having to go to the kitchen area to ask for things and the younger girl was too busy making napkins rather than working. Decor was nice though but the food had no love!! The chocolate bar was $6 and stale . Food made my mom sick read more
