What a cute, relaxing tea house. My friend and were able to chat and relax as we indulged in the wonderful food. The scone was perfect! The rest of the food was yummy too. There were several party’s while we were there, so, we were left alone a little too much. But overall I would recommend BlissTea & Treats and I would go there again.

Highly recommend Bliss tea! I've been here a few times and it's always so charming and enjoyable. Great service and lovely atmosphere. Great for any holiday or catching up with friends. Delicious tea, sandwiches and sweets! After going to a number of tea shops in San Diego I have to say this is one of my top choices-if not my go-to option time and time again :)

From the warm and inviting welcome from the lovely staff who were not only inviting but were very knowledgeable in helping us select the teas, to the BEAUTIFULLY decorated place, and let's not forget the delicious savory sandwiches and sweet treats! And to top it off, its minutes from the beach! We will definitely be coming back!

Everyone was so friendly! Tea flight was incredible. Selection is varied and very welcoming to new and experienced tea lovers of all kinds. I’m really selective about tea (I don’t like most tea) and I found some I adore here, so I bought it loose! Doesn’t even need honey. (Hot Cinnamon Spice) Would totally return!

Loved this place, upon walking in and seeing the decor , you can’t help but smile. Our waitress was new, but oh so sweet and attentive. We also met and spent a ton of time talking to the owner. She is so nice, we enjoyed talking to her about her business and everything else. The food was fantastic. We were laughing at ourselves because even the salad was amazing and we were ilshoveling it in our mouths. The scones were super good and moist, not dry like most. The sandwiches were great, my favorite being the Salmon pin rolls, my mother-in-law loved the Brie and apple one. Now…..let’s get to dessert. Not only delish, but beautiful. Even if you aren’t going to do a tea experience, you MUST stop in for a dessert. We had so much food that we took most of ours home and bought more for the husbands to experience at home. Too good not to share.

Rushll was the most gracious host as evidenced by her understanding of us being stuck in traffic. She said it was no problem and that our table would be ready and waiting when we arrived and told us to drive safe. When we arrived we were seated immediately. Rushll explained how the tea time was set up and what to expect and was so welcoming. Her assistant Teresa was also kind and caring checking in on us through out the service. We were celebrating my friend's birthday and they made it really special with a candle on top of the serving platter and the Birthday song was played which included my friend's name. We were both surprised and it really added to the warm and relaxing ambiance. This place is welcoming, fun and retreat like. We'll definitely be back again! I am already recommending it to my friends for a terrific tea time! Thank you Bliss Tea and Treat's for such a wonderful experience!!!!!

The entire event was POORLY organized, starting with a mismatched venue for the performance scheduled there. Apparently, when it became obvious that booking outpaced space, besides adding a 2nd time, people with reservations for 2:00 were asked to switch to the 4:00 show... without regard for a 1st-come-first-served plan. I was among the first, with a table for 4. This absurd insult caused me to cancel.

While it was unusual to have tea in a backyard, it was beautifully set up and we enjoyed the time. The tea (iced, due to hot weather) was delicious and the sandwiches were the best of the food items. Disappointed in not rec'g a full scone (just a piece was served) and it was more cakey than a scone.

Service a little slow. Beakers for the tea samples were difficult to discern. Tea was very good, though. My apple Brie sandwich was very tasty. The plate needed a garnish. My white chocolate cake was good but I could tell it had a refrigerator taste so it was a few days old. I think that the teas could be better explained, something easier to read. I will come back. Great place to sit and drink tea!

The sandwiches were delicious! The place has really cute decor going with the Harry Potter theme and comfortable seating. The cool part about this was the tea selections in the test tubes. It was nice to be able to smell each type of tea before making a selection. Service could have been a little more friendly and cheerful. The glass tea pots were not the typical porcelain tea pots that we normally see at a tea place.

You need to cover the unsightly files in the window above your Bliss Sign at the front entrance. Even if it isn't your property, pay to put up a curtain to hide the racks of ugly files. It was a nice experience for lunch and we will return. First glance at menu was confusing, thought the only option was purchasing the $75 per person deal, which scared us. Server later explained we could order sandwiches separately and we did. All food was excellent. Interior design was so lovely! Thank you

This is apparently a great place for a kid’s princess birthday party! We went for the King Cake and were thrown into a Disney-Mardi Gras kids birthday environment, which was a surprise to us.

The tea room was empty on arrival, there was a mix of tikki style, ocean stlye, baloons, hanging umbrellas, fake ivy, it felt like a mish mash, no definite theme. The tea selection was excellent. The food was ok.
