We stopped at Dori's for breakfast on our way to Yosemite. I had read about it on Tripadvisor and couldn't wait to try this place myself! We got there as the doors were being opened and the man was so nice and as he was fixing coffee told us a little about Groveland and the restaurant. As I looked around,... More

Dori's Tea Cottage and Cafe was delightful. An abundance of teas to choose from as well as espresso if you are not a tea buff. We took Turkey Wraps in Sundried Tomato Tortillas as our lunch in the park (Yosemite). The owner Greg, was attentive and friendly and served us a great Chardonnay in the outdoor patio. Very nice establishment... More

I'm a tea lover and this place met all my expectations! My boyfriend and I stopped by for brunch and shared the Queen Jean along with a pot of Fruit Medley tea. WOW! The very nice gentlemen brought us some ice cold teas to sample -- Fruit Medley and Mojito. These are their famous ice cold summer teas. Delicious and... More

We had a delightful experience at your lovely and inviting cottage yesterday! We were charmed by all the special touches; the antique lace, the traditional dainty bone china, the precious rose sugar cubes. The venue you have created here is simply divine! Thank you!
