The Hidden Tea Room in Lodi

I love this place so much. I’ve been going here since it opened. Great place for afternoon tea. Special events, birthdays, great for children’s tea parties. Great loose tea tea, several flavors. Has both outdoor and indoor seating. I recommending trying to get in on the weekends by doing a reservations weeks in advanced.

Update, we came back for my birthday 🎂 8/29/25 We had another lovely time, the ladies that take care of the whole tea boutique and just lovely, their scones are so delicious, everything was so good, they even sang me happy birthday ☺️ Added new photos I love this place!!!! Went here with my husband earlier this month and he didn't think he would get full with the assortments of food, we got the 3 tier assortment, sandwiches, fruit, quiche, desert all come on the three tier platter, plus our own teas, guess what, he got full 😂, the ladies that run this cute tea Boutique are absolutely wonderful, they are attentive, kind, we only been here once and can't wait to go back, reservations is highly recommended

Update: The Hidden Tea Room’s Alice in Wonderland Event! On 8/30/25. I decided to bring my son this time ‘round so come spiral down the rabbit hole with me! Atmosphere: I felt like I stepped into a mini Disneyland experience with the Tea Party Decor and Alice greeting me and my son. Customer Service: As usual, the ladies in this establishment are always so attentive and kind. Kaitlyn and Dominique were serving one area of the venue and me and my son were served by Elizabeth and Alice. Elizabeth and Alice made sure me and my son had everything we needed, chit chatted with my son which may not mean much to most but to see my son who isn’t fond of new things, socializing and has sensory complications actually trying new things, enjoying and expressing himself AND being social that was everything! So proud of him! The Event: I am still convinced our server Allison was in fact Alice. She stayed “in character” the whole time. Your not fooling anybody “Allison”! haha. Alice gave us a lesson on how to address the Queen of Hearts (she did a REMARKABLE job!) We did trivia (we bombed that so badly) but none the less was a blast, especially hearing my son’s thought process on why it took 7 years AFTER the movie for the Alice in wonderland ride to be created. Food/Drinks (see photos) Very thoughtful and beautifully creative variety of 2 fresh pre-selected scones w/spread *drool*, pre-selected food/treats and your choice of tea which is served as a WHOLE personal pot of tea. Yah, you read that right! Scones: Bacon Cheddar with herbed butter spread and peach with cinnamon butter spread Treats: Mad Hatter’s fruit salad fluff, Alice's Cake pop, Cheshire cat’s earl grey macaron Sandwiches: chicken croissant sandwich, cucumber sandwich, roasted veggie spinach wrap, quiche I had the Mad Hatter's Berry Black Tea. You could definitely taste the berry; I added 1 cube of sugar to bring out more of the flavor but it was still tasty without it. My son had the Hot Cocoa and decided to do the same with the cube of sugar (Hey why not!?) Accommodations: Elizabeth the owner and the Ladies behind the magical dishes Erika, Leilani, Gia, and Clara are always so accommodating when it comes to their guests. They honored a special request for my 10 year old autistic son by separating fruits by likeness and away from each other. He really appreciated it and immediately noticed what you did for him. SURPRISE!: At the ending of our meal we were asked by Alice if it was any of our Birthday’s to which we replied “no” She proceeded to present us with our very own cupcake with a candle and wished us a Happy UNbirthday! Very nice surprise and clever! Price: For $50 per adult and $25 per child (event pricing) Do yourselves a favor and give this place a visit! Whether for an event or just because; your worth it!. This is for the Disney Villain event I attended on Halloween 2024. I know, I know twas many moons ago but it deserves recognition. As usual amazing food, tea, atmosphere and hospitality. The themed treats and food are always a sight to behold. My favorite; the pumpkin scones (made by none other than Cinderella!) were so fresh, warm and soft and the butter just added that nice touch. It is definitely a challenge trying not to gulf these down! There was a new food that I got to try for the first time. A sort of pasta salad which was interesting in both looks and flavor. (and it was in a cauldron! So cool! Took a minute to get used to since it had a mixture of things I would have never thought of combining but I enjoyed it none the less. The tea here tasted exactly as it is described on the menu which is rare for me so that was a delight. Last but not least hospitality is on point here. A straw, such a simple thing yet in my case was a huge necessity due to my mask. They remembered me mentioning this and when I arrived on the day I see a straw at my table! I didn't ask for this nor did I even think such a small detail was noticed. Thank you all again for the amazing adventure! You are appreciated.

Adorable tea room with a gift shop containing loose tea featured in the room. Great place for special occasions or for a relaxing tea experience with friends! A pot of tea is enough for each person to share! There are also gluten free versions available for those who are gluten intolerant!

Such a cute and adorable place to have tea with great company. I have been here on many occasions and they are so accommodating. They have wonderful tea options and elegant petit four choices to chose from! Would highly recommend this beautiful place to have tea time!

Their shop is cute and they've got fancy hats you can borrow during your tea time. I highly recommend "The Royal" option. My apple cinnamon tea was great. I've been to plenty of tea times in the bay area but one of my favorite sandwiches is from here, the swiss cheese and apple! You also get 2 scones instead of 1 with amazing Devonshire cream & pumpkin jam (we visited in October). Their hummingbird cake was something I hadn't tried at other tea times and it was so good!! All of our tea pots were different designs and I loved that they weren't covered by tea pot wraps that some places use. Bring cash to dodge the credit card fee. The prices are pretty cheap compared to what I usually spend so this spot is staying in my tea room line up. Service from the 2 ladies working was very friendly. You can also purchase additional sandwiches to take home!!!

This was a great place for us to celebrate our 7th anniversary. We had the Queens tea: choice of tea, scones, finger sandwiches, quiche and cookies. It was a delicious treat. Everything was very elegant. Ella Fitzgerald music was playing. Our server took our picture. A wonderful experience. We will be back.❤😊☕ …

Beautiful setting! I loved my herbal tea and the food was so delicious! The staff was amazing with my daughter, offering her a choice of teapots and cups. They had a perfect kids menu with fruit, sandwiches, and desserts. Her "tea" of choice was chocolate milk, but they also had strawberry milk and lemonade. The gift shop was darling - we bought several items!

Omg! So cute! I went with a friend since both our daughters are older, but being autistic they're still super young mentally! The staff was awesome! The food & tea taste great even for simple finger foods! Can't wait to go back! I didn't get anymore pics cuz I forgot!

If I could give more than 5 stars, I would. Elizabeth and her crew run the most fantastic little tea shop. It was the perfect place for my daughter's bridal shower. The food was exquisite, the service was first class, and the atmosphere was elegant. And there is a little gift shop attached so you can bring home your favorite tea or get a souvenir from a local artist / vendor. The Hidden Tea Room is THE reason to go to LODI. I highly recommend.

What a "Hidden" gem in Lodi! During a visit with my sister in Valley Springs we decided we really wanted to enjoy a tea room. Elizabeth (who we later learned is the owner as well as hostess) graciously welcomed us in. It appeared to be a quiet afternoon which pleased us to no end. However, a group of mommies and little princesses soon arrived, which was adorable until they became quite noisy and excited. I had a discreet convo with Elizabeth and requested a table in the gift shop before getting served. She was absolutely wonderful and understanding and moved us immediately. The ambience and decor are exactly what a real tea room should be about; linen table cloths and napkins, fresh flowers on the table, smooth jazz playing softly and impeccable service. We indulged in the Royal menu offering and we're sooo happy we did!..I had the Milky Oolong served beautifully in a proper English pot and Sister had the English Breakfast. From the scones to the quiche and the properly made sandwiches and petite desserts, it was all elegantly done and served with grace. Highly recommend an afternoon tea at the Hidden Tea Room with a couple of your like -minded ladies who lunch. Supporting small local women-owned businesses is a fave of mine...you won't be disappointed! Kudos, Elizabeth!

Hidden tea room is a hidden gem. The scones were truly the best Ive ever had. Served with honey whipped butter, house made lemon curd and jam. There was so much food I couldnt eat everything. Sandwiches, quiche, fruit! I saved the red velvet cupcake until I got home. Red velvet its heavy to me. This was memorable. So light and the cream cheese frosting was perfect. They had several options of tea, iced and hot. The staff was attentive and accommodating. I was a walk in, but its probably good to call ahead. 💝

We had my baby shower here and it was an amazing experience. The setting is just lovely, relaxing and beautiful. The tea is delicious and the food made fresh. I absolutely love their cucumber and ginger cream cheese sandwiches! They are my absolute favorite. Tara was amazing to work with while planning our event. She made it easy and overall it required very little work and planning on our part. On the day of the event we felt welcomed and everything was set up perfectly. My guests commented on how this was such a lovely venue with delicious tea! I highly recommend planning an event at the Hidden Tea Room. You will not be disappointed. Thank you again, Tara, for making my day so very special.

This place is truly a hidden gem. It has a quaint feel with some costume pieces for guest to wear if they want to get in the mood for a tea party. The food is surprisingly filling for afternoon tea. The sandwiches are good as well as the pastries. The bake their scones in house and the honey butter that goes with it is delicious. They don't have a much tea options to pick from, and the quality of tea is ok. The staff and service are fantastic. The staff are attentive and responsive. I think at their current price point of $38 for the Royal, it's a good value when comparing to other afternoon style tea houses.

What an experience! The place adorable. Food presented beautifully and delicious. The scones and spreads were home made, each one delicious. And the tea. Omg, each are given a full pot of their choice. So smooth. The service was A1. Warm but professional. Highly recommended. I’ll be back!

The moment you step into The Hidden Tea Room, you're greeted by the warmest welcome imaginable—Elizabeth’s beautiful smile. She’s the owner and the heart of this lovely place. Her kindness and positive energy set the tone for everything that follows. The decor is elegant and sweet—soft lighting, vintage china, and charming details that make you feel instantly relaxed and at home. It’s cozy, peaceful, and full of character. The tea is absolutely perfect—expertly brewed and beautifully served. The sandwiches are fresh and flavorful, and the desserts are little bites of heaven. My husband and I love The Hidden Tea Room so much, we make the 45-minute drive twice a month—passing up another tea house just five minutes from our home. There’s just no comparison. The experience, the quality, and the warmth here are unmatched. One of the things we love most is how personalized it feels. The staff knows our names, our favorite table, and even our tea preferences. It's those thoughtful touches that make every visit feel special, like we’re part of the family. The staff is incredibly friendly and attentive. If it’s your first time visiting a tea house, don’t be intimidated—they’ll walk you through every detail, from selecting your tea to understanding how everything works. You’ll feel completely at ease. And men shouldn’t hesitate to visit! My husband loves coming here. It’s not just a place for ladies—it’s a warm, welcoming space for everyone. Elizabeth and her team have created something truly special—a place where you feel welcomed, cared for, and inspired to slow down and savor the moment. The Hidden Tea Room is a hidden gem in every sense.
