Jamul Haven
What a most wonderful 'total experience' my group of 9 Red Hat Ladies enjoyed at the Victorian Tea at the Jamul Haven! Marianne and her staff are dressed in period clothing, and every little detail is noted to perfection and more. The tables are gorgeous with delicate linens, beautiful china, covered chairs, and each guest has their own teapot on a heated stand. Every guest has their own name tag as well on an adorable little holder. The food....oh my...the food. Everything is homemade and so delicious and so much of it. Several in my group had to take their desserts home. We had the opportunity to have a tour of the Bed and Breakfast and it was amazing. Words just can not describe the setting and the surroundings that Marianne and her husband William have put into the Jamul Haven. It was so much more than having tea, it really was a total experience. I most highly recommend and enthusiastically encourage you to gather 8 friends and go and enjoy a few hours of pampering, dining, conversing, and relaxing at the Jamul Haven. You will be so glad you did....seriously. :)

The AubreyRose Tea Room
The Aubrey Rose is by far the most delightful tea house I've ever had the pleasure of experiencing!! Absolutely everything is..in a word..PERFECT! Every little detail is top notch from the personalized Welcome Card on your table, to the fresh flowers on the table and on every serving plate, to the unique way the bill is presented. The food and teas are wonderful, the presentation is unsurpassed, and the service is totally professional and caring. You have to visit the Aubrey Rose to fully be able to appreciate the detail, the artistry, the uniqueness, the warmth, the privacy, and the intimacy of this charming and relaxing tea room. Plus, there are so many lovely items for sale tucked in and around the room. Lorna, the owner, is just adorabe. You can tell from the moment you walk in the door that truly her heart is in everything that she does and hers is definitely a labor of love. It was my friend's birthday and she was presented with a lovely rose corsage as well. On a scale of one to ten, in my opinion, the Aubrey Rose just tipped the scale over on the high end. I can't wait to go back again, and if you enjoy this sort of ritual as an afternoon tea, then call today to make your reservation....you'll be glad you did. Thank you to everyone...you just made my heart happy today.
