Tesserae Tile & Stone Works

Anthony did a fantastic job on our bathroom! He is a true tessor! He is so knowledgeable and friendly to work with and our floor looks amazing!!!

I was looking specifically for a 2×8 subway tile in stock and Tala was really helpful over the phone and upfront about what they had available. What a relief to find it so quickly (next business day) after the big tile shop quoted a week lead time.
Their shop is very inconspicuous in old town Orange but they’ve got a good 15+ ft wall of all shades of ceramic tile and I really appreciated her opinion on my color choice. I brought in my countertop and paint color, she helped me pick, and lent me a tile swatch. Pricing was also just around the same as the other shop. Contractors get a discount. The big tile shops have big showrooms but Tala provided me just the customer service I needed.

Ron and Tala are great to work with. Very knowledgable, patient and flexible.
When they have work to do for the day, they are on the job they clockwork, bright and early and ready to go.

Not just another tile store!
I use to design kitchens and baths and when I found Tesserae I went nuts! Tala and Ron carry some of the most amazing glass, ceramic and stone tiles I have ever seen.
Tucked back in a little retail center across the street form the Laguna Festival of Arts’ Pageant of the Masters it’s easy to miss.
The showroom is small but jam packed with materials from around the world. I really love the fact that they also represent several local tile artists capable of turning out one of a kind masterpieces.
Unlike most tile showrooms Tesserae is run by a couple of guys who understand design and installation issues related to high concept, custom jobs for over the top crazyass clients. It’s fun to see their eyes light up when you propose an outside the box design concept. Just ask Ron about his driveway project! My last trip to the BIG foo-​foo tile shop in WeHo reminded me that size does not matter! It all comes down to people. Ron and Tala are good people. Ummm Great people!
In addition to selling tile, Tesserae offers design help and installation services. I’ve used their complete services on several projects and I have never been disappointed.
Mention you saw my review on Unilocal and ask them to show you the tile I used to win HGTV’s Designers’ Challenge! LOL
Just another GREAT excuse to go to Laguna Beach!
