Tea rooms
If you have landed on this page, it's because you love tea more than coffee... Good for you, it is said to be much healthier.
We found some really fantastic tearooms in the city :
Samovar
Tea lounge - restaurant. Their selection of white, green, black teas and herbal teas is exotic and endless. Tea is served in traditionnal ware. Amazing food too. Three locations in SF :
Yerba Buena Gardens, 730 Howard St, SoMa
498 Sanchez st, Mission-Castro
297 Page street, Hayes Valley
Tal Y Tara dans le Presidio.
Unique hidden gem! A British tearoom perfect for an early breakfast or an afternoon tea, located at the back of a "polo shoppe". They serve sandwiches and english scones as well. The inside is warm and cozy and the back outdoor patio is delightful. It is “so not SF!” or is it ?
6439 California St, Outer Richmond.
Opening at 6:30am for morning tea and coffee !
Leland tea company.
A welcoming place to enjoy a delicous tea. A loose leaf tea bar is at your disposal to smell and choose your perfect tea. Sandwiches, salads and pastries (madeleines, scones) are served as well.
1416 Bush street, Nob Hill -Downtown.
Lovejoy’s.
A antique shop transformed into a cozy English tea room. Warm scones and tea sandwiches are served as well.
1351 Church street, Noe Valley.
Crown and crumpet.
Candy pink from floor to ceiling, pastries and sandwiches, and 38 varieties of tea to choose from.
New location: 1746 Post Street
New People Building
Japanese Tea garden.
A quite place though a bit touristy. During blooming season (beginning of April), the cherry trees are beautiful. You can have a meditative cup of tea at the Tea House located right in the middle of the garden.
Dans le Golden Gate Park.
