Colonialism is alive and well here in San Francisco at Lovejoy's Tea Room. Scones, crumpets, jams, funny sandwiches sans the crust, and of course, big steamy pots of tea, all served on silver tray and mismatched flowery china.

Which makes the place that much more surreal for those of us who aren't accustomed to this sort of high tea.
