It is my duty to direct you to this article in the Chronicle describing five California tea rooms. I believe it will also be my duty to visit these tea rooms and ensure their quality and gentility for you, the Infusion reader. Such is my devotion to your well-being.
Of those five, I've been to Lovejoy's only and it was perfect - exactly what I thought a cozy tea room should be. I felt like Miss Marple was going to walk in any moment.
ReplyDeleteyou are going to take your mother aren't you????
ReplyDeleteI see Mother's Day and your birthday as opportunities for sharing.
ReplyDeleteThe Tuck Box can be difficult to get into. Choose your time carefully... unfortunately, this indicates a somewhat less than proper tea time, but don't be inhibited. And you cannot miss having a lovely day in beautiful Carmel (although it has been spoiled by having been utterly boutiquefied, I think,--my dad grew up in the area and my grandparents lived there until they passed away--however, that is merely my own thought on the matter).
ReplyDeleteOf course, if you REALLY want to treat yourself, save up for a night over at the Cypress Inn.
I suggest this particularly for you BECAUSE it is DORIS DAY'S Hotel, and DOGS ARE WELCOME as GUESTS with their owners!!!!
Que sera sera!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the tip!
