Rosemary And Thyme High Teas

Crema's Take

Rosemary and Thyme is a nostalgic tea house in Monterey that transports you with its lovingly curated vintage décor and unhurried afternoon tea experience, perfect for lingering with friends or family over carefully chosen specialty teas and pastries. While the dining room can get lively, the intimate private spaces and charming on-site vintage shops create pockets of genuine tranquility, though be mindful that their gluten-free afternoon tea offerings differ significantly from the traditional multi-course experience. This is a place where the ritual of tea matters as much as the brew itself—ideal if you're seeking that rare café where no one rushes you out the door.

Went for the Christmas tea and enjoyed it. The food and tea were lovely. I do think there are a couple ways that the ambiance could be elevated to match the price. The prep area is in full view—if it can’t be hidden, the industrial plastic tubs holding the prepped food and cleaning chemicals, like the bottle of 409, should not be visible to customers. The cold drinks are served from dirty-ish plastic pitchers, which felt a little bit like school lunch. Just think about the details to bump up the elegance.

Was not informed that the gluten free version would be so different from the regular (the salad is the whole "afternoon tea") that you will really be missing out on the experience. The portion size is also very stingy for the price. Tea was good though. Hard to find any tea places where the actual tea does not taste like water anymore.

We had a lovely afternoon. The service was wonderful. We had a private room. The large dining room seemed to be very noisy. There were many little shops inside the tea room with vintage items for sale. The little shops were in alcoves outside the large dining room. There was a restroom at the end of the The large dining room. The mismatch China was charming and the food they served was was prepared at the tea room and was very delicious. They flavored their own sparkling wine. We had peach. It was so good. I would love to go back the shops around the tea shop on the same block mini vintage stores. Very fun for walking around and shopping.

Beautiful and nostalgic tea house filled with charming vintage elements. The atmosphere is calm and elegant, with every detail—from the teapots to the décor—evoking a sense of timeless grace. A perfect spot to slow down, sip tea, and soak in the tranquil ambiance.

Me and my gal pals had such a comfortable experience. We didn't feel rushed. It was a pleasant fun space. The Teas were delicious! We got 4 pots, 4 different teas. They so many to choose from. Then we finished with a bottle of peach sparking wine. The cookies, desserts and tea sandwiches were all so amazing. Only question I have is if we can purchase the tea pots the tea was served in. The tea sets were gorgeous and cute!
