By the Teashore is planning to open its doors the first week of September! Please sign up on our “Get in Touch” form at the bottom of this page to be the first to know when reservations are open, 24 hours before we post it on our social media platforms!

Everyone is Welcome

By the Teashore

We are an un/traditional breakfast, lunch, and afternoon tea restaurant located in the charming Northern California coastal town of Half Moon Bay.

You’ll find some traditional menu offerings that you might expect from a tea house, and then there will be some surprises!

And although the restaurant is in a 1903 house-turned-restaurant, you’ll not only see Victorian decor, we hope you enjoy the pieces from other eras (for example, we love Art Nouveau and Art Deco!). We’re busy painting the outside and inside, and will post pictures very soon! (Feel free to say hello if you see us covered in paint, haha!)

We also have a HEATED, DOG-FRIENDLY PATIO! (This makes us VERY happy!!)

Our greatest wish is for you to feel SPECIAL when you dine By the Teashore because we genuinely appreciate you visiting our restaurant!

Breakfast

By the Teashore will have a lovely selection of traditional and non-traditional breakfast items such as Custard-Baked French Toast, Quiche, Oatmeal with Stewed Berries, Yogurt Parfaits, Scones, and other delicious treats.

Lunch
