We are SO excited to announce that By the Teashore reservations are NOW OPEN for Breakfast, Lunch, and Afternoon Tea!!
We will be open Wednesday through Sunday from 8:00am to 3:00pm
🩷🩵 We will be open starting Friday, September 5th, 2025!
Please go to our website at bytheteashore.com to reserve your space!
Lunch and Afternoon Tea begin at 11am with the last seating at 1:30pm.

The menu is also now live on our website and during our Soft Opening Era, the menu is a bit smaller than it will be once we get our “sea legs” here at By the Teashore. Thank you for your patience as we prepared to launch this beautiful new coastal tea house! We hope you feel very special when you dine here!
And remember, “Everyone is Welcome By the Teashore!” Hope to see you here!

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!
