Love Joie's attic has everything a tea lover could ever possibly want. It's hard not to buy the whole store. Such lovely tea, accessories, and beautiful China. They also have a back room with - you guessed it- tea! I got a couple of packages to take home- Lady Grey & Gingerbread. So yummy! Also very friendly and helpful staff. read more

I have been coming here for decades since I first discovered their Lovejoy's Tea Room across the street during college. It's always a fun time looking through the shop and finding cute things that I don't really need but must come home with me. It's also close to the J stop, so if you need to kill time, browse through and take a gander. read more

After our tea service from across the street, we were offered a coupon to visit Livejoy's Attic. Lots of knickknacks and tea ware inside. This place reminded me of an Estate sale. In one room, we saw bags of chocolate chip tea so my husband got that for me to try, along with an ornament that I found pretty. Lots of mismatched dishes, saucers and cups for sale, so you too can have a tea party at home. The sales lady gave us a box of knickknacks to look through as a free gift and I found a tiny knitted sock for Biko. Service friendly. read more

My family loves Lovejoy's. Perfect on a warm sunny day or even better on one of our foggy days in the city. While I wish reservations didn't book up so early, if you get there right at opening time, you can usually get a spot in the adorable parklet. They even have cups for kids so the little ones can feel fancy too and very friendly staff. Worth it! read more

My mom and I came here after visiting the tea room across the street. They have a wide assortment of tea accessories - perfect if you want to have your own tea party. They also sell many of the same items that you have during the tea service, such as their lemon curd and cream, in addition to various desserts. They also have their tea cellar - which is where you can buy the various teas they serve in their tea room. Even if you don't go to their tea room, it's worth stopping by this shop, especially if you're into antiques or anything British. It's kind of a tight fit - so be sure not to knock anything over when you're walking around. read more

Lovejoy's Attic - Tea Rooms Near Me - San Francisco, California

When you think of an attic, you think of one that's on top of a house, dark..with unwanted, unloved items. Though, that isn't always true...another mans trash, is another mans treasure. Lovejoy's Attic is a small boutique of new/used tea related knick-knacks. Located on the corner of Church St & Clipper, it is also right across the street from Lovejoy's Tea Room. When I'm around the area, I love to check this place out. In front of the store, there are two 3-tier carts that have used tea cups, saucers, and plates (about $2-5 each). What a bargain deal!! Inside the store, I'm not sure if they're used items, but they look pretty new to me. In the back, there's a room that sells the tea leaves, 3-tier trays, and tea pots. The tea leaves are sold in a small amount or in a brown bag. I recently purchased the China Rose Petal tea because I enjoyed my experience at the tea room. The leaves have a nice floral smell to it and it was about $11 for 4.32 oz (122 grams). The store itself is small, and very cramped; I don't suggest going in if you have a stroller or a large bag. I think these tea sets are perfect for gifts, such as birthdays or engagements! Their return policy is store credit only, and you must have the receipt. If you're on a budget, make sure you ask about prices, because I didn't realize their strainer would be $16 (assumed it'd be like $5-10..). Definitely a great place to check out just for the funsies if you're in the area or if you're just into tea/tea sets! :) read more

I didn't desire the service and food quality from the tea room, but the lady here in the shop is exactly the fit of the vibe ! She's such a warm lady with a beautiful soul , heart of gold, truly kind and nice from the bottom of heart. Highly recommended ! read more

This is the charming shop located across the street from the tea room. The shopkeeper was very polite and tremendously knowledgeable about England, the food, and the unique traditions about English tea. Like the tearoom there is a charming unorganized flair that is cozy and welcoming. read more

Well , we did love this shop . And we have recently scored a few nice items . My only complaint is that , we had bought a cabinet a few years back , from the original owners , it was a good value and in fantastic condition. So we went looking for a similar piece . We found one & it was a bit over priced , and full of merchandise. We went w the purchase anyway , not realizing the condition it was in . $495 bucks . Picked it up a few days later & it was absolutely filthy . I was kind of shocked , that they did not even think to clean it up , dust and stains and the back of it falling apart . The previous owners were so wonderful, they would of never sold it at that price and the condition it was in . The new owner is supposedly good friends & they tell me , Lovejoy's will be franchised ," say what " How do u franchise a mom and pop quality place ? I think the new people do not have it going on . This was not a fair transaction. And we also enjoyed a tea less, after this experience. Integrity matters . If this was strictly second hand , I would be better about funky & dusty . But the cabinets are made locally & not at all antiques. I say , not a good business model . Still restoring a new cabinet that we thought was ready to go . Selling anything dirty is just plain lazy & indifferent to the customer . How easy to give it a once over , or call me & explain , the condition does not justify the price . Let us return some $ read more

I stumbled upon this gem after getting a hair cut right next door. I've always loved antique stores & I really enjoyed the diversity in their products ranging from modern to vintage. The set up really did look as if I was wondering in someone's attic - nonchalant, but not messy! The women there was welcoming & told me that the business had been there for nine years. She was helpful with any questions I had. I went home with some really cool items that weren't outrageously priced like other antique stores :) If you get the chance, CHECK OUT THEIR AWESOME TEA ROOM RIGHT ACROSS THE STREET! read more

Last Christmas, I bought my mom a "tea for two" gift certificate for Crown and Crumpet. This year, I decided to get another gift certificate but wanted to try another tea house. Lovejoy's was on the list and so I tried calling Lovejoy's Tea Room to order a gift certificate. I never got through to anyone. I am assuming that this is because they were completely booked and not taking any other reservations. After a few tries, the thought crossed my mind that I might be able to order the gift certificate from Lovejoy's Attic. I called and a delightful woman answered immediately and told me that I had called the right place and that she could help me with whatever I needed. The order process was quick, the woman who helped me was extremely sweet and helpful and she got the gift certificate in the mail that day. I went with the "high tea for two" ($34) but the woman also pointed out that their gift certificates can be used at the tea house or the attic for anything my mom wanted. When the gift certificate, menu and other information arrived, I threw it all in a cute bag with some tissue paper and a gift I knew my mom was going to love was ready to be placed under the tree. My mom did love the present and I am looking forward to a mother/daughter tea in the near future. I am also looking forward to ducking into Lovejoy's Attic and spending some time perusing their goods in person. read more

Craving that tea you tried across the street at Lovejoy's? It's much cheaper here. You can also get all sorts of tea sets and serving stands for snacks. (They're well priced, too. I was really close to buying one for $18). There are also posters and tea paraphernalia left over from Lovejoy's. There's even tea themed shirts (even for babies). The husband liked folding over letters to make them change from "Tea shirt" to "eat shit." Yeah, um, hand's off, ladies. He's mine. read more

If you have an afternoon tea lover on your Christmas list, a quick and easy gift idea is a prettily wrapped Lovejoy's gift certificate for a Queen's Tea for Two. (The hard part is not keeping the gift certificate for yourself!) read more

BREWING THE BAY: Victorian/antique-style teaware, flavored loose leaf teas This store is perfect for those who are looking for antique-style teaware. I'm not really a fan of that look (I prefer traditional East Asian tea sets), but this is where you should go if you want fancy porcelain teapots, teacups, saucers, spoons, strainers, plates and mug tree holders. There are also cute little knickknacks like whoopie pie-shaped pin cushions. Be sure not to miss the somewhat hidden back room full of tea blends. There are a lot of fun flavors like almond oolong, pumpkin spice, chocolate chai....You get what I'm saying. There are also gift sets of various flavors of tea, perfect presents for tea-loving friends. I don't think I'd ever purchase any for myself as I prefer pure, unflavored "true" teas, but this inventory was made for people who like fruity, flowery or sweet tisanes. Prices are reasonable and service is great. Definitely stop by here on your way to or from Lovejoy's Tea Room. read more

Are you a collector of teapots and associated tea knick-knacks? Do you love all things British and emit high-pitched squeals of delight when you see beautiful fine china teacups with wavy edges and hourglass shapes?! Have people ever characterized you as being an Anglophile because you cannot resist a cuppa and some biscuits in the middle of the afternoon?!! If so, then Lovejoy's Attic is the perfect shopping experience for you!!! Run by one of the sweetest women imaginable and stacked to the ceiling with adorable tea brick-a-brack, this is your best bet in San Francisco for finding gorgeous fine bone china at affordable prices (some second-hand, with especially affordable pricetags!!), quality loose-leaf tea, tiered tea trays, strainers, vintage glassware, and assorted edible tea-time necessities, such as clotted cream, lemon curd, and tea biscuits!! I've purchased many a teapot and teacup from Lovejoy's Attic, both for myself as well as others...the only hard part is reminding myself not to buy everything in the store!!! Lovejoy's Attic is definitely sensory-overload if you love beautiful, feminine things!!! As I stated in my previous review, my only criticism is that it's not WHEELCHAIR-FRIENDLY, even if it's technically accessible...it's so cluttered, it's barely accessible to the able-bodied bipeds, nevermind those who must resort to four wheels! That said, the proprietor is always more than happy to assist you with picking out items by bringing them to you!! I highly recommend Lovejoy's Attic to anyone who loves British tea-time!!! read more

Lovejoy's Attic - My beloved hot pink teapot, purchased at Lovejoy's Attic!! - Tea Rooms Near Me - San Francisco, California

Located right across Lovejoy's tea place. Thought we'd check it out after having delicious tea. Small boutique full of tea related knick-knacks; tea sets, loose-leaf teas, aprons, etc. But be careful - I personally felt this store was a bit crowded for my taste. I was afraid to make any quick movements in effort not to run into something or someone. I highly recommend NOT to bring little kids in the store. Prices were reasonable. read more

Their tea selection alone warrants 5 stars but added to that a quaint and adorable boutique with teacups, saucers, and teapots for even the most refined connoisseur, not to mention the hats, scarves, and handkerchiefs. Their loose leaf tea is some of the best I've ever enjoyed. My favorites include decaf mango, their black vanilla with lavender, and chocolate truffle.Their customer service is superb and their prices are very reasonable. read more

hopped over here after our delicious afternoon tea with my bestie - I love how quaint this shop is so tempted to get some tea service sets but alas I don't have room but! I did find a lovely cameo broach (which is now on my custom made hot pink wool coat) and a silver grey fascinator (now I just need to learn how to wear it) read more

I don't like walking in here because I feel like I'm an amazon woman and I'm going to break something. They sell cute tea themed tees though. read more

I love fancy-pants tea, with the little tea pot and the cozy and the cups and the three tier cookie ladder thing .... but not so much the bill. well, this is the place to go if you're looking to recreate the experience at home, on a budget. Think of it as an investment. A lot of the items at Lovejoy's Attic are antiques or homemade, so their stock varies every time you're there, but everything is pretty consistently in good condition. And the style is what you would expect from a little of lady named Estelle or something. She'd have all the right spoons, polished, five or eight different kinds of tea, real sugar cubes and she would still call it a facsimile machine or a cheque. She'd want you to have that tea pot with the matching cozy, because she'd be happy knowing you were happy and enjoying the teapot ... And since you're picking out a teapot anyway, go check out the closet in back; they carry a lot of different teas. I've never bought any, but I assume it's the same as what they serve at Lovejoy's. And since you're picking out some tea, you may as well buy an apron and maybe a bag of those broken china bits to make a mosaic or a little coaster for your new teapot. She's a cool lady, Estelle is, so next time you're in Noe Valley, stop by Lovejoy's Attic and take a look. Do it for Estelle. read more

I'm a self-professed whimpy coffee drinker, but I love my teas. They have a huge variety of them, in 2 package sizes - $6.50 or the $9 version. I bought a package of the blood orange. They have tiny tins of the tea for you to open and sniff and that orange aroma was intoxicating. There are tea cups, teapots, strainers, honey, sugar tongs and tiered trays that you fold down to put your crumpets and scones on to serve your Alice in Wonderland guests. My friend bought one that was a snowman and she was so happy to find out it was 1/2 off (about $10 out the door) to boot. No signs to indicate it was on sale. There are used towels and table linen. At $5 for someone's used towel, I'd rather buy new ones elsewhere without the stains. Feels like you "sort of" walked into an antique store. In the back bookcase, there are Alice in Wonderland decorated teapots and cups. Another adjoining room has more linen and stuff. It's like a semi-antique store. I spotted some cute Japanese-theme dishes with Mt. Fuji decorated on it and a Chinese dragon/gold decorated teapot which you can probably pick-up in Chinatown. They were selling it for $25. It's a good place to kill time if you're waiting for a table across the street at Lovejoy's Tea Room. The salesgirl at the desk wasn't very friendly & looked bored. Back home, I was anxious to try the blood orange tea. As I poured it out of the bag, I noticed there were no perceptible tea leaves, just dried orange pieces. It tasted tart and citrusy after brewing. The next time, I added some tea leaves and it tasted much better. It still smelled great, if you don't drink it, guess you can use it as potpourri. read more

Lovejoys to the rescue yet again!! The attic (sister store to the tea room across the street) doesn't just sell delectable teas and a million accessories to go with it. They RENT the expensive ones too! What does this mean? That you can throw beautifully decorated parties without having to clutter up precious square footage of a San Franciscan apartment year round! Yay!! If you're in a party crisis, they are your BEST friend. Shout out to Isabel for being Wonder Woman! :) That's twice you saved the day! If you're in the neighborhood, show Lovejoys some love. read more

Came here yesterday with the family to see if they had these cute little hooks they had last time we were here. They didn't, but the woman who worked there offered to check if they were going to get them again and call me and let me know. I thought that was very nice, a little above-and-beyond the call. We ended up buying some foldy, maybe vintage or just pretend vintage cake stands. They are so cute, can't wait to use mine. Really nice things to buy here, lots of gift ideas. They even had a small selection of British food products (HP Sauce, Yorkshire Tea, and a few other items) read more

I very much enjoy stopping off at Lovejoy's Attic on my way home after work on my scooter. My first vehicle I owned while growing up in San Francisco was a Vespa Primavera 125. I always wore vintage 3 button coats and vintage gloves when I rode my scooter. I've been an avid collector of vintage gloves since high school. Because of this, I ADORE Lovejoy's attic. Not only do they have a wonderful, affordable collection of vintage tea-things, but they also have vintage GLOVES! I'm typically the girl in the motorcycle helmet digging through the pile and trying on gloves they have in the window. Quarters ARE tight SO, best to get into the shop prior to the throngs arriving. If you DO have children ladies and gents, simply take time to have a chat with them just prior to going in and have your kids practice the following: 1) Look but don't touch. 2) Move SLOWLY through the store. Good opportunity to practice good manners like, "May I please?", "excuse me", "thank you". 3) Use inside voices. 4) Remind them that they'll each receive a memorable little something-treat if they're on their best behavior. 5) Always be respectful of others and repeat #2. Make sense? Oh good! ;)! read more

Wow, this place is smaller than quaint. Shopping here consisted of back peddling through narrow aisles around a large table in the middle of the store. I think I hit a four-year old (shopping with her Grandma) twice in her head with my butt. While turning to look at something, my purse draped over my shoulder provided near-miss delicate-china-teapot-on-floor mishaps. If you finally make it the back of the store, there is a small closet filled with loose teas you can buy. I opened one to sniff the contents, put the lid back on, and fumbled it outta my hands while it rolled on the floor and down the hallway under some cupboard to be lost forever. They have really cute stuff there but if you're clumsy like me, beware. Good luck. read more

they have some cute finds in this small store, but i can get whatever they sell here much cheaper at some other antique stores. prices are comparable to what you can find online (i.e. replacements.com). i do like how they have a sample tin of their tea for sale to smell. read more

I must say this is a super cute place for tea goodies like pots, teacups, strainers, and more! Although I didn't buy anything when I walked through after going to Lovejoy's, I just had a good time looking around. It's a small place though, so be careful when walking around. However, there's also a separate little room for all the teas they serve at Lovejoy's. The teas come in various sizes and prices. Some go for as cheap as $5 and some are much more. If you're not in a rush after having tea at Lovejoy's, stop by here! read more

I really like this store. They have cute things, great tea, and great customer service. I bought this frog tea thing and discovered after I drove back home to Sacramento that it wasn't in the box.

I have fond childhood memories of this place way back in the 90's at their old location. I think it was across the street from Eric's from what I can remember; where the nail salon is currently at. The displays then were always so nice to see. Even now it's enticing to observe the displays. You immediately have to go inside to see what's there. There's a lot of good stuff if you're a really big fan of tea. I'm happy something like this exists in the neighborhood. It's a tea lover's dream come to life! I just wish it had more room. It's a tad cluttered. read more

Difficult to navigate and not much to look at. I recommend not bringing kids in there because as an adult I already was having a difficult time not knocking something over. There are quite a few tea sets in there as well as some other antique type knick-knacks. read more
