5.00My husband and I had an unforgettable "Tea by the Sea" at Mitchells Cove Beach in Santa Cruz. Alejandra’s setup was stunning—elegant table, fresh wildflowers, and premium teas paired with delicious local treats like scones and sandwiches. The ocean views and gentle waves made it a romantic, stress-free escape. Everything was handled perfectly, leaving us to relax and enjoy. Perfect for couples seeking a serene coastal moment! Many thanks Alejandra for a wonderful experience.
Alejandra serves up perfection with Tea By The Sea experience.

5.00Alejandra was an amazing host for my 17th anniversary date with my hubby. Everything was perfect. She greets you when you arrive and takes photos with a professional camera before she leaves. I received the photos while still on our date. Street parking was easy, we didn’t even have to walk a half block. Communication with Alejandra was great! She responds quickly when I would text her with questions about our booking. Alejandra couldn’t have been nicer or more professional. Like I said, everything about her, our booking the date, and our experience was perfection. Thank you Alejandra.
Tea by the sea!
