Rose & Blanc Tea Room
301 S Western Ave, Los Angeles, CA
Crema's Take
“This charming K-town tea room wraps you in soft pink elegance and offers a thoughtful escape for lingering afternoons, with standout matcha options and delicate pastries that justify the Instagram-worthy aesthetic. The staff is attentive to special requests like vegetarian tea sets, and the weekday afternoons offer a peacefully uncrowded experience perfect for catching up with friends or celebrating a low-key birthday without time pressure. Fair pricing and a genuine attention to detail make Rose & Blanc feel less like a trendy spot and more like discovering a friend's favorite hidden gathering place.”

Edit: saw the response and thought it was nice and then we got the fully story from the rest of our friends about how they were treated poorly from start to finish by this person. Updating review to 1 star and cannot recommend this place to anyone. I understand people have bad days but this behavior towards several members of our party was unacceptable. My friend had her bridal shower here and we had such a wonderful time for most of it. The drinks were delicious and the pastries and sandwiches were very good. We got to hang out and catch up and the women serving the food and drinks were so sweet and even took pictures for us. Things took a turn unfortunately as we were leaving and the woman in charge was incredibly rude to a few people in our party as we were leaving. Someone accidentally bumped into a display and one of the jars broke and the person running this place was very rude about it even when we said we would pay for it. She then told us we were way past our closing time even though we weren’t and told us we needed to go. It was an unfortunate way to end the evening when we had been having so much fun up until then.
I jad recently came with my cousins for one of their bday celebration. The experience was fun overall, and the pastries were delicious. They had a great variety of tea options, but I do wish we could've had the option to do tea refills.
Stepping into Rose & Blanc Tea Room feels like entering a quaint, intimate tea room with a lovely feminine touch. The soft pink walls and elegant decor set the perfect mood for afternoon tea. It was heartwarming to see so many enjoying high tea, complete with yummy and delicate treats and fragrant brews. And to top it all off, the customer service was excellent! I took my sister here! We enjoyed the unique experience and definitely think it’s something all the girlypops should try at least once! food/drink: • violette tea set: egg & basil pesto tea sandwich, cucumber & dill tea sandwich, smoked salmon & truffle aioli tea sandwich, pastrami ham & mustard tea sandwich, classic scone with jam & devonshire cream, 4 seasonal desserts - everything was yummy and so aesthetic • matcha lavendar iced milk tea - this is the strongest lavendar taste we’ve ever had, super impressed! • grand jasmine tea - light and floral! sugar cubes on the side to add sweetness
Small, cute, and affordable afternoon tea spot near ktown! We made a reservation for Sunday at 3pm for the rose tea set. I was also able to request a vegetarian tea set ahead of time, which meant that my friend got an extra egg sandwich to replace the salmon sandwich. The tea is located on the 2nd level of a business center and has a small free underground parking garage. We arrived 20 minutes before our reservation and luckily didn't have an issue finding a parking spot. The tea comes in a three tier tray with 3 types of sandwiches (egg, cucumber, and salmon), a scone with jam and cream, a cream filled madeline, macaron, and a cup of fruit. They also had a fairly wide selection of teas, including herbal and decaf. I went with Paris for Her, good though not as flavorful as I was hoping, and my friend selected Big Ben. The egg sandwich and scone were my favorites of the bunch. I wasn't as impressed with the desserts. Both madelines were burned and I was not a fan of the macaron, whose filling had the texture of a lemon bar.
Ordered the special tea set for two with the waffle add-on (+$4) as recommended by other reviewers. Went on a weekday, no time limit and was pretty empty after 3pm - many other customers were walk-ins. Honestly a hidden gem. Pricy, but cheaper than some other high tea places. Food: Liked the sandwiches and biscuits the most, egg sandwich was the best. Waffle was okay, only get it if you like lavender, because without the syrup to dip in, it's just plain. I think the only bad thing was that the macarons tasted slightly stale. The amount of food is good; if we hadn't gotten the waffles, we still would've taken home some leftovers. For tea, I got Paris for Her even though I don't like raspberries, and it was still delicious (lychee flavor was stronger). Service: Attentive and not pushy at all (contrary to what other reviewers were saying, though I went when there was no time limit).
