Columbia Kate's Teahouse

We enjoyed a wonderful meal with tea. The portions are very generous. The Buttons tea is a favorite. The Almond Orange rooibus or black is extraordinary. And if you're getting tea (which you really should), then the apricot scone is a must pairing. Service today was cordial & helpful, but on the slow side.

This was my first High Tea, but my wife has been to many. We found the service good and the food excellent. We liked the iced tea so much my wife purchased some loose tea to take home.

We were walk-ins as we waited for our session on with photographer. We were seated outside in the shade. We did not do the tea service as we did not have time. Iced black tea in the heat was great. I ran over to the bakery while we waited for our savory bread pudding, chicken salad sandwich, and cowboy turkey sandwich with butter not mayo and two scones. When I came back from the bakery, we were relocated to the air conditioned interior . We enjoyed our food. We will come back. My sister and I brought back half a sandwich . The bread for the sandwiches was made at the bakery ( they do not sell the loaves, the brand goes to Kate’s).

I LOVE Columbia Kate's!! Any time we have a visitor from out of town/state, etc I take them there! It's such a cute little, relaxing place to have tea and lunch with friends and family! They have such a wide variety of teas and have descriptions with them all! The bakery items come from their bakery right across the street. We got the 4-6 cup pot of "Butte Tea" (has health benefits for heart, stress and tummy!) and had plenty left over after about 4 tea cups each!! My Mom and I had the cowboy sandwich on a croissant, she had the salad and I had sweet potato soup. (I believe it was the daily soup provided) YUMMY! I LOVED the soup!! And my Grandmother had the Three Tea Sandwich Trio with salad. You can mix and match the sandwiches for that one. (Egg Salad, Cucumber and/or Chicken Salad) Thei

Honestly, best food in Sonora and Tuolumne county. My wife and I frequented here quite a bit. Their sandwiches, tea, and french onion soup are worth it every time. Also both of the owners are amazing.
