Tea Room Review
      Going to the Tudor House feels like going home.... though that's impossible owing to the fact that I was born and raised in Southern California! Still there is something so comforting and cozy about this tea spot. I love love love all the fresh baked British treats from meat pies to pastries and enjoy everything I have tried on the menu over the last 20 or so years I have been visiting this mainstay among tea rooms.
