🌹𝐌𝐞𝐧𝐮 𝐅𝐚𝐯𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐞𝐬: There is a separate gluten free menu and a separate vegan menu that you can request when you check-in! I suggest enjoying your tray from the bottom up - starting with the savory and ending with the sweet. I love the traditional tea! Traditional Tea Tea Selection, Gluten Free Tea Menu, and Seasonal House-made Scones served with Devonshire Cream, Lemon Curd, and the Huntington's Sweet Orange Marmalade. The scones comes out first to enjoy! Some of the other additions are the house-made soup of the day, candied walnut salad or cheese board with Marcona Almonds.

I love going to tea and looking for a chic and feminine outfit. A floral-printed midi dress or a flowy jumpsuit in pastel hues can add a whimsical touch, perfectly complementing the blooming roses. Pair your dress with comfortable yet stylish shoes for ease of movement in the garden. Once you enter The Huntington keep in mind that you will have to walk to the rose garden! Enhance your outfit with delicate jewelry pieces, such as dainty earrings or a layered necklace, to add a touch of sophistication. I went to the newly reopened Rose Garden Tea Room twice! The second time I opted to wear this 𝐀𝐛𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐫𝐨𝐦𝐛𝐢𝐞 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐅𝐢𝐭𝐜𝐡 𝐑𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐞𝐫 that has pockets!
