Tea House on Los Rios
I came upon the Tea Hiuse on Los Rios by chance after visiting the Mission in March, the week before the Swallows were to return. I sat on the porch in the afternoon sun on a cool day and soaked in the ambiance. Nice enough. The real hit was the Cottage Tea. Two large scones (Home made, of course - the owners own recipe) with plenty of rasberry jam and fresh cream. I chose the decaf Earl Grey and received a large pot of fresh, hot tea,whole leaf and well made - very tasty. The serving plate was well presented with fresh fruit and some fresh flowers to cap it all off. The service was excellent. The staff wasn't glued to your elbow, but was attentive while maintaining a discrete distance. With the sounds of flowing water from the garden fountain contrasting nicely with the occasional arriving train at the nearby station, this visit was a wonderful way to end my afternoon and my visit to San Juan Capistrano. I will make a point of returning the next time I am in the area.
