Madeline Garden Bistro Venue - Pasadena

I wouldn't recommend this place for a casual tea. The atmosphere feels more suited for parties and private events, as the staff appeared uninterested in catering to our needs as a party of two. We ordered a pot of tea, which was actually quite nice, along with two small scones, a few savory tea sandwiches, and a selection of sweets. In total, we ended up being charged $80, which I found to be outrageous for what we received. Perhaps they are more accommodating and offer better prices for larger groups.

This restaurant in Pasadena has a great location and we found free street parking without any trouble. We really enjoyed the afternoon tea; the food was delicious and beautifully presented. We visited on a Sunday and chose to sit outside in the courtyard, which was lovely. Inside, there was live guitar music that added a romantic touch to the atmosphere. I recommend making a reservation, especially on weekends.

We made a reservation for a birthday party of nine on Sunday, and it was my first experience with high tea. I was really looking forward to the occasion, and I think this venue is perfect for beginners. As for the food and drinks, I ordered the eggs Benedict while my wife opted for the English platter. The service was friendly and efficient, which was a big plus. The decor had a charming English theme, and everything was beautifully arranged. There was also live music, which added to the atmosphere. Overall, I would definitely return!

What a lovely brunch! My boyfriend took me here, and I really enjoyed the fact that there’s a live harpist! Such a quaint restaurant in a historic building that Einstein worked in. We both had the Brunch which came with a Scone (blueberry choice of beverage (we both got French Press coffee and an entree (pictured. thank you!

We had a bridal shower here. All the food was delicious!! Every dish received compliments and the staff was very kind and helpful. I recommend it 100%. Everyone in our party had such a blessed time.
