Afternoon Tea with the Ladies

I finally got a chance to meet up with my high school friends Sam, Karina, and Tiffany. We decided the best place for our reunion would be Lovejoy's Tea Room in San Francisco. I've only been to Lovejoy's once before, and was eager to go back. It's a cute, quaintly decorated tea room in the heart of the city. From the mismatched tea sets to the unique knick knacks, you'll feel like you stepped into your aunt's cozy living room.

Each of us ordered High Tea, which includes two sandwiches, coleslaw, organic spring greens, two scones, preserves, Devon clotted cream, two biscuits, and a choice of tea. The service is phenomenal! The ladies who serve there are experts on tea and they refresh your pot of tea every half hour. They stop by often and make sure that all their customers get what they need and feel welcomed. Expect to pay about $25 per person. It's a bit pricey, but it's worth the treat if it's a special occasion. Definitely stop by for a spot of tea if you're ever in town.
