    Came home with some goodies!

    I dropped in one Friday afternoon with my father-in-law and fell in love with this shop. Same owners as the beloved Lovejoy's Attic in SF, same great energy, and amazing tiny store that packs a punch. Staff were lovely, offered genuine advice including recommendations to check out non-affiliated alternate stores! If it wasn't so far from where we live, I'd be here all the time! Def recommend and will be coming back when I can!

    Group of friend and I made reservation for this unique tea and Felting class to make a mushroom. I have never done this felting before and it wasn't that hard. I was more focus on making it and almost forgot to eat the teatime sandwiches and drink tea. We shared with others at the table. So it important to eat your portion or others will eat your portion. This was a different unique experience. I don't mind doing another one. The tea service is a bit different from a the original tea service without the class in regards to type of sandwiches but other than that it was good to meet new people and chat or not chat is up to you. Atmosphere is nice and cute. As have been to this place a number of times. Friendly service.

    To sum it up: Experience high tea holiday style in a cozy setting while chatting away and drinking many pots of tea. You get thirsty from all the talking but it's replenished with the tea. :) My girlies and I tried their Christmas Tea Special ($75/pp) which they require it prepaid in advance to reserve our spot. So when we get there, all we do is pick the tea. There are many tea options, and after thinking out loud with the girlies, we decided on White Peach, Peach Bellini, Mango Tango. Doesn't it sound delicious already? My White Peach tea smelled amazing and also tasted like white peach. I probably drank at least 3 pots of that. When the server brings out our teas, she lets us know how long to steep it for. The Peach Bellini tea tastes great but not as flavorful as my White Peach (I may be biased here lol). The other tea was the Mango Tango and after we trying it, even though it says mango, the hibiscus flower taste overpowered the mango taste. Interestingly, after putting some sugar in the tea, the mango flavor came out. I guess it's called Mango Tango for a reason lol Overall, I really liked the many different teas they offered, but the hard part is trying to decide on one. I'm not sure if I can smell the teas before deciding on one and I didn't see an area at the shop that offered that. But I'm glad I chose a great one :) You can also purchase teas after your tea service. The Christmas Tea special started out with a rustic potato soup, which was thick, filling, and comforting, especially on a cold day. From my photo, you can see the bread that the soup comes with had a heart-shaped butter. So cute! Then came the sandwiches, salad, and clotted cream and jam for the scones in a 3-tier stand. The sandwiches were: 1) Cucumber with dill and cream cheese; 2) ham and mincemeat; 3) goat cheese w/ persimmon and hot honey; 4) smoked salmon with cream cheese/capers and lemon slice on top; and 5) Turkey and cranberry (sorry if I made a mistake; I inhaled that one lol) Each were unique, but we all agreed the open face sandwich with goat cheese and persimmon was our favorite! We then each had a scone and we got to choose our flavors: either lemon/ginger, black currant, honey apricot, or pecans. My black currant scone was warm and paired perfectly with clotted cream and gooseberry jam. We were also able to ask for more cream and jam if needed. The end dessert was a sticky pudding that was very sweet with caramel sauce, I believe. My tooth was actually aching from how sweet the pudding was after a few bites. This place actually sends us the menu ahead of time so we know what to expect to eat, so even though I knew sticky pudding was going to be the dessert item (and in theme with holiday tea), I would have preferred some classic high tea desserts such as petit-fours, macaroons, shortbread cookies, etc, especially for the price of the holiday tea. And unfortunately, we are unable to add any additional items into our tea special (like an extra sandwich or other desserts). Overall, experiencing a holiday tea special is a must, especially if you're a sit and chat, sip and chew, kind of person. It will be pricey, but that's the uniqueness of it. I enjoy the coziness of the shop and you can check out their shop after your high tea. Oh, and also, there is additional parking in the back of the tea shop instead of parking right in front because it is definitely harder to back out of a fast highway.

    We had the best Mother's Day Tea at Lovey's today. The service was impeccable and friendly, the food was delicious and the ambience was lovely. Gina was fantastic and thoughtful and went above and beyond to make our day special. Everyone there was just great and I highly recommend stopping by and enjoy this place. We will definitely be back! Thank you Lovey's for the wonderful Mother's Day memories!

    We celebrate all important occasions at Lovey's Tea Shoppe. The ambiance, the food, the service from the owner and her staff is exceptional. We had the Queen's Tea and honestly the endless pot of tea for each of the Queen's Tea was wonderful because we tried each other's tea and the teapots were refilled so we could drink to our heart's content . For dessert, I had the Red Velvet Truffle and the other two had their choice of petit fours, one lemon and one chocolate. It was a wonderful way to end an enjoyable tea and a birthday celebration!!

    Tea Sandwiches

    We visited Lovey's Tea Shoppe on a Saturday, as walk-ins. The space was small and cozy, with half being a seating area and half a gift shop selling china, packaged foods, jewelry, etc. I liked the floral wallpaper and gold-framed art and mirrors - really fitting for a British tea shop. We were seated right away, given menus, and told to come back up to order at the counter. Unfortunately, they didn't have tea stands available - those are only for the pre-booked afternoon teas. However, all the items on them were seemingly available, which was a bit confusing. My friend and I both ordered Tea Trays, which included 2 Tea Sandwich selections, 1 Warm Scone served with clotted cream and preserves, dessert, and a choice of tea. Most of the Tea Sandwiches that day included ham, so I chose Cucumber Tea Sandwiches, a Black Currant Scone, Macarons for dessert, and Black Vanilla Lavender Tea. The tea came out first, and was surprisingly served in paper to-go cups. When I asked if we could get some tea cups, our server pointed to a bin where we could choose our own. Despite the presentation, the Black Vanilla Lavender Tea was super tasty! The food items came out on plastic trays, which could've been cuter. The Cucumber Tea Sandwiches were very standard - white bread, pretty generous portion size. The best items were easily the scones! They were warm and not dry at all, and I loved the clotted cream. I believe mine came with raspberry or strawberry preserves, but my friend's came with lemon curd, which looked amazing. I wish we got to choose! The Macarons were also very standard and tasted store-bought. Overall, we had a good experience but I'm assuming the pre-booked afternoon teas are better than just coming in as walk-ins.

    LOVEY'S TRAY 2 Tea Sandwiches; 1 Warm Scone with Clotted Cream & Jam, a Petit Four or Truffle plus your choice of Tea

    Lovey's Tea Shoppe is a cute little British tea house, literally a standalone house at the charming seaside town of Pacifica. It's on the side of Pacific Coast Highway 1. Don't drive too fast or you'll miss it. It's always a lovely drive for us. There's limited parking in front but plenty more in the back. We usually get the LOVEY'S TRAY, which includes 2 Tea Sandwiches; 1 Warm Scone with Clotted Cream & Jam, a Petit Four or Truffle plus your choice of Tea $26.50, but everything is sold À la carte as well. Honestly the tea sandwiches are a bit dry and bare, but the scones are FANTASTIC. With the Clotted Cream & Jam on mismatched China, it instantly reminds me of the classic tea room I visited in English. Lovey's Tea Shoppe also hosts many events so be sure to check out their website.

    Such a fun way to celebrate your birthday with a High Tea. We had spent my last birthday in Ashland Oregon and went to Loveys Tea Shoppe up there and had a fantastic time so were so excited to find another one in Half Moon Bay Area. We each got our own pot of tea-you choose flavor from a wide variety. Assorted finger sandwiches, salad, scones and crumpets are the main meal. You finish with your choice of sweet and in addition I received a birthday macaron with a candle to blow out and a birthday song serenade. They have a darling patio and a really cute gift shop-you can also purchase your favorite tea! Such a fun, delicious way to celebrate!

    A quaint little old fashioned British tea shop off the highway that's a definite stop if you're on a road-trip. Reservations are recommended but not required and walk ins are welcome if they' have space. We had their tea sandwich platter with a couple of other extras and deliciousness was in full effect! They have a nice selection of teas and some flavors I haven't seen before so now it's an excuse to come back. In addition to the full service tea they also cater to the kiddos with their Wee Tea service. They have outdoor seating as well and this is first come first serve. Overall it was a nice little experience and their service was good. And that's my take, Peace...

    Tea here is served in large paper cup with a hideous teabag sticking out large enough to poke your eye.

    I visited this tea shop with my daughter on Sunday as a walk-in. Typically, walk-in seating is outside, but they had a small table for two available inside, tucked in the corner, while they prepared the other tables. We were informed that we had an hour before a reserved party arrived, which we agreed to. Upon entering, we were directed to review the menu at the counter and place our order upfront. I ordered tea and added extra macarons for my daughter. After we sat down, I had to request basic items like napkins, cutlery and a stirrer spoon for tea, which should have been provided without asking. The food was a mixed experience--the sandwiches were just okay, but the scones were tasty. I also expected the service to come on a tiered tray, as it does at Lovejoy's, but that wasn't the case. The most disappointing part? The tea was served in a brown paper cup with a teabag sticking out high enough to poke your eye. When I inquired about this, I was told that walk-ins don't receive a teapot--only those with reservations do. Frankly, I was shocked. This is a tea shop specializing in tea service; presentation should be a priority regardless of seating arrangements (see pic). Throughout our visit, no one checked on us or offered to refill our tea with hot water. The lack of attentiveness and poor service made what was supposed to be a special mother-daughter tea experience memorable for all the wrong reasons.

    Afternoon tea for 2

    A cute, quaint place to have afternoon tea in Pacifica right off the Coastal Highway 1. I've been to the SF location and used to frequent the Redwood City until they closed August 2021. Glad to have an opportunity to bring a friend to enjoy a relaxing treat: Tea sandwiches * Cucumber with Dill Cream Cheese * Roast Beef & Horseradish * Bay Shrimp & Mayonnaise * Green Apple w/ Cheddar & Marionberry Jam delicious scones, crumpet and finish off with a sweet treat of spiced petit four. So happy to know the owner, Gina who operated the Redwood City location own this cute spot! Always accommodating with my online orders, responsive, hospitable and very friendly. There was another person there helping today and she was so sweet and explained everything as items served. Thank you! :) Pricing reasonable and highly recommend a stop to enjoy simple and light, yet satisfying treats...items are available to go with tea packages and scones available online. Plan ahead and make it a trip to Pacifica for afternoon tea, peruse Downtown, walk the Municipal Pier, or go for a 1.5 tour of Mazza Castle about 10 mins away. You'll learn some local history and see some wonderful views. Make arrangements for tea and the tour online beforehand :)
