5.00Our host, Alejandra, was absolutely wonderful—warm, welcoming, and attentive. She made the whole experience feel effortless and enjoyable. I truly appreciated her kindness and thoughtfulness.

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!

5.00Just Wow!! Everything was absolutely perfect!! Booked this experience for a weekend with girlfriends. The location is incredible, right above the ocean. The tea itself was gorgeous. The food was as tasty as it looked. The tea sandwiches, fruit tarts, fruit, nuts and assortment of teas were in abundance. Alejandra took such good care and thought of everything. We needed a setting for five and she easily accommodated and set the table with china & silver for five people. She was in frequent contact and her directions to the location were spot on. Thank you for an unforgettable afternoon!
10/10 will book again!

5.00I am not the best planner so this experience was perfect because everything is done for you. Alejandra is amazing, she really communicates with you from start to execution. I mentioned my gf is pregnant so she was thoughtful enough to bring comfy chairs and chose blue decorations to celebrate our baby boy who is on the way. Her desserts are delicious and she provides you with a huge selection of tea to choose from. The location is breathtaking. You get a great view of the ocean while being surrounded by flowers. It is a public place but the picnic spot is kind of tucked away so you still get a good sense of privacy. There are plenty of free parking spaces right next to the location so there are no long walks or hiking necessary. We had the best time! The experience was so elegant and romantic and we didn’t even have to lift a finger. Alejandra’s set up combined with the view allows you to capture the best pictures and videos. I would highly recommend Tea by the Sea.
Such a cute experience!
