Taking your mom — and grandmother — to afternoon tea is an elegantly delicious way to celebrate maternal bonds. Pasadena offers a handful of delightful and delightfully different options.
Chado Tea Room’s Mother’s Day afternoon team begins with refreshers — wine-inspired iced tea and tea-infused chocolates—and ends with mini chocolate mousse cups with fruit and lemon curd tartlets.
