The Huntington's famous tea room reopened in late May—and online reservations promptly booked out completely for the summer. If you're willing to wait until reservations release for the next three-month period (and buy a $28 admission ticket to the gardens), however, the tranquil setting and high-quality fare easily make this one of the best afternoon tea experiences in Los Angeles. Both the $62 traditional tea service and $75 premium option feature delicious scones, well-made sweets and marmalade made with citrus grown on-site, and you can also sip tea made with flowers from the rose garden right next door. The pricier tea includes sparkling wine, lobster salad and a housemade bonbon.

Time Out says
OpenTable reservations for this serene afternoon tea in Pasadena go quickly, but the tasty treats and beautiful ambience make it worth the hassle and wait.
