Absolutely a hidden gem pun intended! I was looking for things to do with kids in town and this popped up. Enjoy walking around the beautiful gardens first and entrance to museum is free. The staff are quite delightful and offered a tour for our family and really engaged our kids. I'm never one to buy souvenirs but ended up getting some here to support the museum and there were some interesting items. Recommended visit for the family and so glad there are affordable family fun and educational that still exists

Tealightful cafe is San Diego's best kept secret! Highly recommended hidden gem with high quality, gorgeous drinks that looks more expensive than it actually costs. I'm a tough critic when it comes to fancy Asian drinks since I feel most places have overly sweet or bland made for social media hype that isn't really good. Tealightful's drinks are an exception. Packed with high quality ingredients you can see and taste you know the owner hand craft each drink with love.

It's a charmingly clean cafe, heck even the restroom is clean so you know they have high standards. You're immediately welcomed by friendly staff and be sure to check out specials. For sure you can't get a delicious bowl of authentic bun bo hue at any boba shop! I had to try the elderberry because it was unique. That's a definite must. I rarely go back twice to a shop when I'm visiting out of town but I loved everything I tried ..it was so good I think I'll come back to try the rest of the menu a few times before I leave. Please expand to other locations Tealightful to really show the others how it's done!

5+ stars for value, quality, presentation and service.
