Always a pleasure to return to Lovejoys for tea. Lovely, comfortable setting, generous portions. We had a queens tea and high tea with salmon, chicken apple walnut, ham and roast beef sandwiches. The High Tea consists of a selection of two sandwiches, mandarin orange salad, cole slaw, scone, and a small sweet treat. A pot of tea as well. This is quite substantial for me! The Queens tea is the High Tea plus fruit, a crumpet and dessert from the tray. A quaint room but cozy enough to have a small party. Street parking is a bit of a challenge. There is parklet seating as well. Reservations are required to ensure a table. My favorite place in the Bay Area for tea! read more

Lovejoy's Tea Room takes you into the world of British high tea and dining. The tables both inside and outside are beautifully adorned with floral-patterned cushion, doilies that cover every table, and serveware collected from the UK. The service here is very quick - our waitress was kind to explain different menu items and give us recommendations for our first time here. We went with an assortment of high tea specials, tea sandwiches, scones and crumpets. The baked goods came out warm and fresh, which was deliciously paired with the creamy butter. The sandwiches were all very refreshing and light! Some of my highlights would be the sandwiches paired with cucumber, and the selection that included chutney. They have an expansive menu of teas for you to choose from, whether you prefer black teas or those that are more floral. I would say you can't go wrong with sharing and it makes for a wonderful experience. My time here was amazing and I really loved coming here! read more

Upon entering this decorative tea room, there's a sign, 'No Phone Zone,' so there are no photos taken in compliance to this request. My daughter wasn't hungry so she ordered à la carte the scones with jam, cream and fruit, and I ordeted roast beef and horseradish finger sandwich. Our tea of choice was passion fruit. As per their own website description, the food was average. People come here for the tea experience and setting. Therefore, it makes sense little girls gather here for a tea party, mesmerized by the teapots and cow shaped milk containers. This is a popular place, so reservation is highly recommended. Cost lean towards the pricey side, but you get to wear one of their hats hanging in the store free of charge! read more

The tearoom is a bit cramped which can make it loud and hard to hear. There are a lot of tea options and they do use real clotted cream, which was a nice surprise. They also let you pick which sandwiches you want which is a nice touch since they are usually preset at other tea parlors. Overall though, the food is not the best. The sweets were bland and the crumpets seemed store bought. This is a fun experience for kids and a good price point. However, I am a bit of a tea snob and lived in England for years so this didn't quite live up to my expectations. read more

I booked a reservation for me and my friends and it was so worth it! I enjoyed the decor in the place and the tea options. I was a bit confused by how the food was set up but it was easy to comprehend after 3 minutes. This is for sure a meal that's meant to be light so if you have a big appetite I recommend eating beforehand! The staff were super kind and helpful. It was nice finding an area that is boosted for their ambiance while also having yummy food. read more

Lovejoy's Tea Room - Petits Fours - British Near Me - San Francisco, California

I don't even know where to begin to write how disappointed I am in the service I received yesterday from LoveJoy Tea Room. I reached out to have LoveJoy Tearoom cater my company's International Women's Day Luncheon because my predecessors used her services the year before. Unfortunately I could not speak with them or get any reviews on how well the service was, I just remember how beautiful it looked in passing. Well, I'll never let a beautiful aesthetic allow me to make that mistake again. I requested a full high tea service with tea, dishes, sandwiches, etc. She let me know that she was able to cater for my event. I asked that she give me an itemized payment receipt and her version of an itemized receipt was typing out each individual thing she was bringing and how much it would cost in total on a word document. It is very hard to get that through compliance at my company. I should have known then, I was in trouble. When she arrived, she complained about finding the parking as if we didn't validate her for parking in our building. Once she got up to the floor she came in and set up the tea which took about 15-20 minutes total. I signed her payment receipt, tipped her and as an avid high tea patron I asked her how long each tea she brought needed to seep, ALL FOR HER TO TELL ME SHE DOESN'T SUPPLY THE TEA!!!!!!! Excuse me? Why would we cater from a Tearoom that didn't supply tea? The gag was, she provided us with sugar cubes but no tea. Further, she completed the 'ready for use' set up all for us to notice the cups were dirty. - to the point when washing the cups in our sink, a large spider jumped out of one of them. We wasted 15 tea bags that I am extremely happy we had in our office already because we also notice, only after putting the bags in the pots, that they were dirty as well. We had to wash the entire rental within 20 minutes before the event began. Another thing that really bothered me was there were no sandwich description tints letting people know what was in the sandwiches as a food allergy precaution. Not only that, I'm more than sure she didn't bring all of the sandwich options I requested. She also charged me $40 for checkerboard cookies (although the invoice says "tea biscuits") that she picked up from Sprouts for $5.99 per box. There were no petit fours, no cream for the "tea biscuits" etc. This whole experience was a disappointment, and I truly feel ripped off as I paid $919.00 + tip for what I thought was going to be a High Tea experience and ended up being a horrible catering experience. I'll never work with her again and I suggest you don't either. read more

Let me start with the good things first. - The staff was very nice and made sure we were well-served. - We were a group of 8 people, and they were accommodating to our special dietary restrictions. - The food was good, and the teas were delicious. Things we didn't like: -It's a little old place, so we saw spiders lingering behind our chairs. -The food quantity is comparatively less. read more

Lovejoy's is a long time favorite for my family and I. Since my children were barely toddlers, we gave been enjoying high tea experiences at this cozy, eclectic tea room in San Francisco's Noe Valley. Reservations are typically booked out weeks and weeks in advance, especially for prime time weekend seatings. But, we were able to snag a same day reservation last minute, by sending an email. We were seated in the outdoor parklet area - which by the way is not heated -- but the tea keeps you cozy! Some of the fun of the visit is the eclectic assortment of dinnerware - everyone gets a different plate and tea cup set, and a different tea pot. Super cute and fun. It's like being at your aunt's or grandma's house. Very home like. Service is very accommodating and pleasant, timely and attentive. You can order various grades of tea service, from a Queen''s Tea that includes everything you could want including a Petit Four for dessert, all the way down to light tea for just the basics - sandwich, scone and fruit...plus a bottomless pot of tea. There is a fee to share - but that's reasonable. Crumpets can be added - with lemon curd and marmalade - and they should be! They are delicious. The sandwiches are made to perfection - our favorites are chicken apple walnut, cucumber and cream cheese, roast beef and horseradish and turkey with Dijon mustard. The scones need their own paragraph. They are perfect! Served wam with double Devon cream and jam, these alone are worth the visit. Salad has a delicious dressing, I've had the sausage rolls before and also - perfection. There are a wide variety of teas to choose from - from traditional English blends to Rooibos and herbal assorted teas. Something for everyone. You'll have to map it and find it - but it's all far worth your efforts. Make reservations well in advance if you can. The J Church MUNI line stops right outside, so transportation can be easy and you can avoid the search for parking! If you visit SF - or you live here - either way, it's a must visit spot. Many thanks to the team at Lovejoy's for giving my family so many memories over the years. read more

Came here for afternoon tea~ it's my first time here and we came to celebrate Women's day (March 8th). I love the cute little smoke salmon sandwiches, the fruits on top are fresh and sweet, the pastries on the second level were okey and slightly to sweet for my taste. Overall, I had a great experience here. All of the waitresses were very kind & helpful. They took the time to answer our questions~ read more

I know people come here for the experience and ambiance but I really expected a bit more in terms of the food. The menu was a bit confusing but the server was super friendly and explained everything. She had suggested we get a few towers to share and each tower was really pricey so I assumed I would be more out of it. But overall I paid about $50 for 1 sandwich is that made with regular sandwich bread and some ham and spread, a scone and some tea. Which is wild. I came for a friend so it was alright but I don't think I would come here again for myself or for my events. read more

My friend recommended this as one of her favorite high tea places in the city and my sister and I thoroughly enjoyed our experience. We weren't able to make a reservation as it gets booked up pretty early on but we got there around opening time at 11 am and they were able to seat us at an indoor table. What really stood out to us was the decor all around the restaurant: the eclectic art, different tea sets and fun hats you can wear for your time there. We loved that each table had unique table sets and we ordered the Queen's Tea Set, adding a small sharing fee and an extra scone to try another flavor. They have a whole list of tea you can choose from and we opted for the chamomile tea to pair with our tower. The Queen's Tea Set came with two flavors of tea sandwiches we chose, salad, a scone, a crumpet, a biscuit and a petit four with some toppings of lemon curd, jam and cream to use. Our standouts from the set were definitely the scones. We got the lemon ginger and black currant which were both very flavorful, hot, light, and flakey. Topped with the lemon curd, cream or jam, it was such a refreshing light touch and we couldn't get enough of the lemon curd. The sandwiches were simple and fresh as well and everything was a perfect shareable amount for the two of us. After our meal, we went to their attic store across the street where you can buy your own tea sets and loose leaf teas that they have at the restaurant. We loved the chamomile so much we bought a pack for home along with a tea ball. It was a great experience and we would for sure come back again. read more

Food okay but serving sizes even smaller than last time. With the high tea choice, how does one person share a humble sized cup of coleslaw? Or a few leaves of lettuce (comes with the original sized salad dressing amount)? Servers should ask patron if they'd like more hot water poured in the tea pot, not visa versa. 1 1/2 hours sitting time might also suggest an offer of starting a fresh pot with fresh tea since ours was bitter from tannins. They're still not giving each person their own tea strainer. Bad form. Yes same wonderful decor, but come on. read more

I can see why it is call Lovejoy. Full if Live and Joy. The people working there are super nice. Celebrating two birthdays. They give you a tiny cheesecake with a very tall candle. Several tables were celebrating birthdays! We are inside, much warmer. Yes, mismatch china's. These are bone china, very thin. The teapots aren't very full. We had the lady Grey with apricot decaf. It was lovely. Pomegranate green tea, very very subtle Pomegranate. We got the Little Tea (one choice sandwich. 3rd person pays $3.00 surcharge. and the queen's tea (2 choice sandwiches). I love their scones choices of lemon ginger and cranberry or currants. I got the first two. The waitress (Mikyla, mispelled) said she is partial to chestnut tea. Got to try that next time. There are at least 30 teas to pick from. Mandarin orange and cream cheese sandwich was delicious. Smoke salmon is always a hit. The blueberries, exceptional sweet.love the jam and fresh cream. Yummy.. read more

Magda took very nice care of us! We came on a Saturday afternoon. We had a resy reservation - reservations book up in advance! I think especially for the indoor spots. I had been here years ago with my work team, but inside. This time, I tried the outside parklet. It's a cute ambiance as well! Feels like you can breathe a bit lol, in contrast to the inside where there's a lot going on (but in the best way! Very quirky and it's happening with all the tea parties.) There's one bathroom so you may have to wait. We enjoyed the food and tea. We did ala carte sandwiches and foods. We shared an unlimited white peach tea. We especially enjoyed the sausage rolls lol I'm a savory girl and just love the buttery flaky goodness combined with seasoned sausage. The sandwiches were also tasty and light. I like the added cucumber. But after a few, even those tiny sandwiches can be filling! Especially with all the tea you end up drinking too. The tea sets and the lacey linens and all the thought put into the dishware and decor is top notch lol. It is a nice old timey tea time vibe - you're temporarily transported to the good ol' days - probably we're riding horses around lol. We had a very pleasant time and hope this gem continues to thrive! read more

Lovejoy's is a great experience! It is a charming location and the people are lovely. My only complaint is that some teas (like some blacks) need to not sit in the teapot. They get bitter. It would be better if they had a tea catcher that you can take out when the steeping is done. Otherwise they are very generous and are always asking if you need more hot water. The tea goodies are also yummy. read more

I have come here a few times with my stepmom and step cousins as well as step aunt. I enjoyed the teas and sandwiches. Each person can have their own tea in a tea pot and choose sandwiches that they want to have as well as try the other sandwiches. I feel perfectly ok wearing jeans and running shoes. The place is located right by the j church line stop. The ladies who work here are always so nice and helpful. The place is decently priced where you get enough food to get it to go because you are full. I feel like I am in my grandma's living room with the tables and couches. read more

Really enjoyed my first ever high tea experience here! This spot is nestled in Noe Valley and I came here on a bright weekend with a couple of friends. We got the Queen's tea set and the presentation was immaculate, and the sandwiches were pretty tasty too! The cucumber one was especially refreshing (we also got smoked salmon and cream cheese). The fruit was a nice touch. Scones were good though had a pretty dry exterior. I also enjoyed the tea we got (can't remember exactly which one, but we got two different types - one was a variant of earl grey, and the other had more flowery notes). We sat outside, but the inside was super cutely decorated too so was fun to explore after. Service was good and overall felt pretty chill and not too stuffy -- prices also felt reasonable for SF. read more

Stumbled upon this place through a recommendation from a local, and I do not regret coming here one bit! This place is a total vibe, in a quaint little town. Upon arriving, I was the first one (10 min to open) but quickly people started arriving for their reservations too. Even a bus load of senior citizens were dropped off right up front with their party of 10+. When arriving in this type of situation, you need to be a little aggressive, or perhaps, very assertive or else you're going to be pushed to the side. There's a small podium up front right when you enter the door, to which you check-in there. Reservations are highly recommended. There's seating outside and also inside, though they filled the inside seats first. Me, myself and my party of 1, quickly got serviced. I ordered the High Tea set which came with a choice of 2 sandwiches to which I had opted for the daily special (tuna and tomato) along with the salmon and cream cheese. I also chose the apricot tea which was delightful! The set came with a scone which was a lot bigger than I had anticipated, but it was very yummy. My only wish, is that it came with lemon curd (came with a berry jam and clotted cream instead). Though I ordered a jar of that lemon curd to take home and I was not disappointed. The lemon curd was probably one of the best I've ever had with lots of lemon flavor and not too much sugary fillers. All in all, I had an amazing time! If you feel like treating yourself, get that Queen's Tea Set, you know you deserve it! read more

This was a lovely and cute place for afternoon tea. Heads up there is only one bathroom available, so there will likely be a wait. The décor was fun, and we enjoyed seeing the variety of dishware. I really enjoyed the food here, but I felt very "meh" about my tea (Tea Room Blend). I actually preferred my friend's Black Vanilla with Lavender, and since there's unlimited refills, that worked out well since I could share with her. I will say I wasn't used to filtering the tea as you poured it out, since other places will usually have a filter built into the teapot, so a few times I forgot and ended up getting tea leaves in my teapot, but that was just user error. The lemon ginger scone as well as the smoked salmon with cream cheese / chicken pesto sandwiches were delicious. Light Tea was a perfect portion in my opinion (and I appreciated that it came with fresh fruit as well). After you pay your bill, you'll get a slip that says you can present it in order to get a free gift with a purchase over $25 at the antiques shop across the street. Speaking of which, the antiques shop does sell the tea from Lovejoy's, so my friend was able to pick up a bag of the Black Vanilla with Lavender tea. read more

Very cute restaurant, homey! Came here for my friend's party and while the service was great, the menu was confusing and the food was subpar given the price. One of my friend's had a dirty tea set and on top of this there was a sharing fee. I thought the sandwiches were okay at best, nothing special and the portions are small for the high tea. The tea itself is delicious. Good ambiance and nice to experience if you want tea, but overpriced. read more

The family and I enjoyed afternoon tea at Lovejoy's Tea Room yesterday. It was a rainy morning and our reservation was for outside so we weren't sure how our experience will turn out but the ladies at Lovejoy's do an incredible job. Our reservation was for 11 a.m. along with all the other parties that had an 11 a.m. reservation. We were seated in an enclosed outdoor seating area like the many others you see around San Francisco. The only difference is this one had creature comforts such as throw pillows, cushioned banquettes, nice tablecloths. Lovejoy's really went out of there way to make the environment comfortable and inviting. The chill in the air finally went away once the other tea enthusiast joined us. Magda arrived to take our order. We each chose the Queen's Tea which included a choice of two sandwiches, served with cabbage salad in a Caraway cream dressing, organic spring greens, a scone with preserves and Devon Cream, a Crumpet with Meyer Lemon Curd, fresh fruit, a Petit Four and a Tea Biscuit. We also ordered some sausage rolls which I have to say are a MUST with tea at Lovejoy's. For my tea selection I ordered Earl Grey(I'm a purist.) I also buck the tea drinking establishment and have the audacity to put milk in my cup before tea. The Mrs. ordered Lovejoy's tea room blend and kiddo ordered the White Strawberry tea since she isn't a tea drinker. Shortly after our tea arrived this massively beautiful tower of goodness was delivered to our table. Even for three people it was a lot of food but we enjoyed it. The cost of the Queen's Tea was $38.95 per person. A bargain compared to some of the other places in the area that offer afternoon tea. Getting to Lovejoy's from the Financial District where we were staying was easy. We too the MUNI J train which passes right by the place. The train used to stop at Church and Clipper which is intersection where Lovejoy's sits. The MUNI has discontinued that stop and you not have to get off the train one short block down on Church and 26th. read more

I've been trying to get a specific tea mailed to me from Lovejoy's for over 2 1/2 months. I originally bought it while visiting in person and wanted to reorder once I got home. During this time, they've answered my calls but never actually sent the tea. I've followed up multiple times with no results. Very disappointing and unprofessional -- I expected better. They should do better. Their ongoing excuse is that they're under new ownership (as of about 4 months ago). While I see many great reviews, when it comes to mailing tea to customers, they completely fail. Most recently, they promised to "get it going" and call me back -- that was over two weeks ago. I've made at least six calls over this period, and not once have I received a return call. If you live out of state and want tea by mail, do not count on them. To make matters worse, I found both Millie and the owner quite rude in my conversations, especially after I grew frustrated at the delays. I even shared that I'm a stage 4 cancer patient and that the tea meant a great deal to me -- still no follow-through or compassion. This was not a small order either (over $100). Just an epic failure in both service and basic human decency. Truly sad. read more

Where can I fancy a cuppa tea for myself? I wanted to super like this place so bad. Yes, the tea is stunning... But here's why I can't get with it. If you want strictly high tea with no food, this is your spot. Tea selection is wide, porcelain plates and cups are beautiful, and the ambiance inside will have you feeling like you're in someone's antique grandmothers house. But you want food with your tea? Hard pass. I came here with my coworkers and made reservations ahead of time for a party of 10. We sat outside and ordered tons of sandwiches, salad, the lemon curd crumpets, the sausage rolls, and the notorious clotted cream raspberries scone. I'm gonna tell you the sandwiches felt like children finger food. Wonderbread would have been a much better choice than whatever they got going on here. It was such a disappointment, especially when they cut the crust off but so many pieces had lingering crusts on them. It was funny and wild to me at the same time. Salad was ok, the lemon curd carries the crumpet, the sausage rolls also just ok, and the scones would be nothing without the clotted cream. Happy this was sponsored by the company because those knock off sandwiches are not worth. Tea yes tho! read more

Over the Christmas holidays, we visited Lovejoy's Tea Room to enjoy high tea. We booked on Resy. I had this place bookmarked for the longest time and so happy to finally try it. Very cute, slightly ole fashioned in an endearing way. Love the eclectic vibe of mismatched cups and saucers. Tea was fun. Went with the hubby who although not into high tea, gave his best effort to enjoy this occasion with me. We got the Light Tea + additional items. We both enjoyed the tea sandwiches. He was enjoying more of my picks than the ones he picked out. Highlights are the cucumber sandwiches and the yummy scones with the Devon cream! Tea was delicious and service fit for Royalty. They actually have a cute sign saying Reserved for Royalty. Very fun and cute! Perfect for birthday parties and any occasions. Around the time we visited, the decor was holiday decor with emphasis on Alice in the Wonderland's Cheshire Cat. read more

This was my first ever experience having high tea and I'm so happy it was at Lovejoy's. This is a great spot to celebrate a birthday, special occasion for all ages! I loved the variety of decor and the different options. For high tea, it was affordable, delicious, still special and fun! The service was fantastic, great recommendations, super kind. I started with the tea room blend (the tea is essentially bottomless) and it was warm, light, I couldn't get enough! I got the high tea with the black current scone, the daily special tea sandwich and the apple chicken one. Tea sandwiches are small so keep that in mind when choosing the type of meal! Tea was served first then the food. I really liked the sandwiches, super light. The salad paired well with the tea sandwiches. My favorite part of the meal was the scone served with Devon's cream and jam. The cream was super thick, creamy, sweet paired with the jam on a light scone (aka biscuit bc I'm from the South) WOW. Changed me- so good, so memorable. It was my friend's birthday so we also got little mini cakes/desserts, such a great variety from a raspberry macaroon to a matcha strawberry cake. I was super surprised that I was full after the tea. I am 100% coming back- such a positive experience!! read more

Have been wanting to come here for two years. My party and I finally coordinated the time with one another to make it. They're only open on selective dates/times, so it's important to make reservations ahead of time. Inside, the interior decor is so warm, cozy, and vintage. We were seated at a nice table in the back where there were bonnets for people to wear if they wanted to. We got the complete tea party experience, bonnets and all! Their menu had plenty of veggie options with yummy goods like tea sandwiches, fresh scones, crumpets, and plenty more. I got the chocolate chip black tea, which was also served with sugar and/or milk on the side. They had a nice expansive list of various teas they offered. Our server was kind enough to teach us the proper etiquette of how to use the tea strainer properly. As a vegetarian and someone who didn't want too much food, I ordered a couple sandwiches a la carte, rather than getting a tea service. The tea service is more like a bundle/package that comes with more to share with the table. I got the cucumber cream cheese and tomato cheddar sandwiches, and they did not disappoint. Everything was so yummy. I enjoyed the different tea pots everyone individually received at the table. They were all so unique. I appreciated the kind service as well as all the unique antiques inside. It makes you not wanna leave. read more

The most adorable tea room for afternoon tea! Ambiance & Service: The interior is incredibly cute and cozy, featuring a large variety of unique chinaware! Our server was very friendly. However, she offered sweet treats on a tray without mentioning they would be an upcharge. Food: We both ordered the High Tea. I had the English Breakfast tea, which was lovely! The Cucumber and Cream Cheese and the Pear and Stilton sandwiches were nice, though the bread was a bit dry. The tea biscuit with jam and cream was delightful! TL;DR: Fantastic place for an intimate afternoon tea! Recommend the High Tea with the Pear and Stilton sandwich! read more

Went there with my wife for Valentine's Day for lunch and had a great experience. We had the high tea with à la carte sausage rolls. While the sausage rolls were a bit different to what I've had in the UK and Australia, it was still delicious. The high tea was great - I had the black currant tea and my wife had the vanilla rooibos and both were excellent. Sandwiches were solid, and the scones were excellent. Only thing they could have improved was having the salad plated but otherwise a great experience read more

My very first time here and it was amazing! What a beautiful setting to relax and chat with friends and have some wonderful sweet and savory treats along with an endless pot of tea! There were 5 of us, so we ordered a variety of things to share and all of it was delectable. We had two different types of scones, currant and lemon ginger; both were delicious, but I preferred the lemon ginger. The devonshire cream and lemon curd were both delicious, so much so that licking it off spoon was a special treat! The sausage rolls were really yummy... flaky crust wrapped around a drool worthy sausage. Yum! The sandwiches (turkey with cranberry chardonnay mustard and cucumber) were dainty and a nice contrast to the sweet treats. The frest fruit (strawberries, pineapple, oranges, grapes, blueberries, and blackberries) provided a nice balance to the scones, cookies, sandwiches, sausage rolls, and chocolate cupcake and mint truffle. What a wonderful way to celebrate friendship and the holidays! Oh, by the way, they have a little parklet that's very cutely decorated that would be perfect when the weather is better ... perhaps a spring tea?? read more
