Great experience. Felt very at home with its charming environment. Excellent food and service. With all the niceties of a proper tea. Great for a girls day out.

Great place to eat (even if you are a guy). Have great portions and selection of sandwiches and hand-tossed salads.

Bloomsbury Tea Room offers its guests a relaxed and enchanting experience in the charming Averon Carriage House. Built in 1890, and part of the Castro-Lodge Averon Estate and mansion, the Averon Carriage House is one of the most historic buildings in all of Capitola. Home to a tea room for over thirty years, it has become a Capitola tradition and destination not to be missed.

You will enter into a wonderful world of hospitality where each room is decorated with an individual attention to detail, and a stately Magnolia tree stands watch over the lovely English Courtyard and English garden. You will enjoy the aroma of delicious warm scones fresh from our oven, hardy lunch selections and tea time delicacies made fresh daily with only the finest ingredients. And you will discover a large selection of the finest pure and flavored loose leaf teas steeped to perfection and brimming with goodness from around the world.

Bloomsbury Tea Room is sponsored by Concept 232 Incorporated, which is a non-profit public benefit volunteer corporation. The tea room is operated by volunteers with a minimum paid staff, which allows the proceeds to help support various community activities held at the tea room.
