This lovely tea room is right on the corner, you need to be on time or you will wait forever in line with the many patrons dying to come in and enjoy the quaint menu. I have been here five times now and want to return again in the very near future. The menu consists of small entries and arrangements of biscuits, sandwiches, cookies and of course, the tea. Many delicious teas served in delicate vintage hodge podge porcelains. The tea room has an old vintage feel, a little like going in to someone's grandmother's house in England. The sandwiches and cakes are delicious, my personal favorite is the traditional creamcheese with cucumber.

Had tea with friends and we thought we at each others grandma's living room. So many memories. If you go make sure not to eat before, the teas were wonderful and the food fabulous.

Love joy's is an interesting and eclectic mixture of your great grandmother's living room and a Victorian lounge. They have wonderful service, and their scones are absolutely divine. A superb deal of endless teapots and overwhelming platters of scones, crumpets, and finger sandwiches. Perfect for a rainy day!

This place is adorable and charming, and the delicious food is the perfect complement to the quaint atmosphere. The vintage dishware, art, and antique knickknacks are fun and create a comfortable vibe, and the staff is friendly and knowledgable. Guests are seated on low, plush antique chairs and couches. The presentation is phenomenal: dishes come served on stacked silver tiers. The scones and lemon curd, strawberry preserves and cream, and crustless cucumber sandwiches are amazing, and actually do fill you up. This is a great place to take friends or guests for a late lunch or Sunday brunch, because it is a new and different treat. Pros: cute atmosphere, delicious food, great service Cons: a bit overpriced

Lovejoy's is so charming, I went there 2 weekends in a row! So much fun having a tea party with the girls. The food is great - the scones are amazing and I don't even like scones that much. The ambiance is perfect, all the mismatched tea cups and plates, crocheted throws, furniture - everything! Pros: food, (especially) ambiance, service Cons: not open Monday-Tuesday

i love this place! i brought my sister here because she was having a bad day and i was craving some good tea. we came in and we fell in love. it was like when we were children, playing tea party. the ambience of this place is cozy and antiquish. the cups and mismatching in a fashionable way. the chairs comfie. and tables tiny. we sat down and ordered our tea and our waitress was helpful with the decision of which tea to have. the food was delicious.

I had family in town from SC and we decided to take them to LoveJoy's and they had such a good time. They could not stop talking about the ambience and the great service and the wonderful food. It does not look like much food but once you have it you are totally full. Also the teas were excellent and the waitresses knew what they were talking about when recommending the perfect tea. This is a place that i will take all out of town guest! Pros: Ambience, Service, Selections Cons: Parking

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. The Grandma in you will love the place for its civility; the prankster, for its psychedelic Mad Hatter angle. It's funny because some people take this place sooo seriously. Which makes the place that much more surreal for those of us who aren't accustomed to this sort of high tea.
