THE BRITANNIA TEAROOMS
01
AFTERNOON TEA
At The Britannia Tearooms, our Afternoon Tea is a true celebration of British tradition, served with a seasonal twist. Each month brings a thoughtfully curated menu that reflects the flavours and colours of the season, from delicate finger sandwiches to warm scones with Devon cream and house-made sweets. Paired with our signature Britannia Blend tea or a glass of prosecco, it’s the perfect way to slow down, indulge, and enjoy a moment of timeless elegance.
02
THEMED TEAS
Throughout the year, we host a variety of Themed Teas that bring an extra touch of magic to your experience. From literary tributes and royal celebrations to musical afternoons and festive occasions, each theme is designed to transport you into a story, mood, or moment in time. With décor, menus, and details carefully tailored to match the theme, these special teas are a delightful way to celebrate with family, friends, or loved ones.

November Menu
Bonfire Night Afternoon Tea
“Remember, remember the Fifth of November,
Gunpowder Treason and Plot,
We see no reason
Why gunpowder treason
Should ever be forgot.”

Begin with Asparagus and Pomegranate Soup, followed by handcrafted savouries like Rosemary Thyme Turkey Finger Sandwiches, Roasted Vegetable with Truffle Butter Phyllo Cups, and Mini Sausage Rolls with Branston Pickle.
End on a sweet note with Raisin Scones with Gooseberry Jam and Double Devon Cream, Spiced Ginger Apple Rhubarb Crumble Tart, and Sticky Toffee Pudding with Toffee Shard, perfectly paired with our Featured Tea, The Britannia Blend, a fragrant black tea with berries and chamomile.

In celebration of our upcoming 2-year anniversary this August, we invite you to experience the wonder and whimsy of The Britannia Tearooms through the eyes of its visionary founder, Selina Stockley.
In this exclusive video tour, Selina takes you behind the scenes of San Diego’s most charming British escape, a tearoom built from a lifelong dream and brought to life with heart, heritage, and handcrafted imagination.
Begin your journey in the wild English garden, where roses bloom and fairytale surprises, like Cinderella’s hidden carriage — await discovery. Step through the entrance and into the Sherlock Holmes–inspired sitting room, where vintage décor and Victorian charm set the stage for a truly immersive experience. Along the walls, you’ll find stunning hand-painted murals dedicated to Selina’s grandparents, a personal and artistic tribute to the generations who inspired her love for teatime tradition. Enter the English Country Garden Dining Room, complete with the serene Lily Pond area, offering elegant seating for up to 17 guests, perfect for gatherings both grand and intimate. Don’t miss a stop in our Mary Poppins Gift Shoppe, a whimsical boutique filled with British-imported treasures and one-of-a-kind handmade gifts, including our specialty line of over 70 house-blended teas. It's a magical shopping experience like no other in San Diego.
For the young-at-heart, visit the Mad Hatter’s Tearoom, a storybook hideaway for private events and themed teas, adorned with oversized mushrooms, a chessboard ceiling, and a grinning Cheshire Cat. And yes, even the bathrooms are part of the enchantment, transformed into magical wizarding lavatories that surprise and delight guests of all ages. This tearoom was built with love, from the vintage teacups and repurposed wood to the hand-sewn curtains and custom murals, all lovingly created by Selina and her dear friend Jen Snead. Now, with nearly two years of memories behind us and many more ahead, we invite you to step inside and see for yourself why The Britannia Tearooms is fast becoming a must-see destination.
Watch the full video tour above and book your table today.
