Homemade crumpets, scones, lemon curd, clotted cream and raspberry jam sp delicious as well as their finger sandwiches.
I don't know why they changed their way of doing things, but this was my third time here and I won't be back ever. As an aficionado who has enjoyed high tea all over the world, I was really disappointed in Lovey's Tea Shoppe. It wasn't just one thing. I didn't like that I had to pay in advance. The price for afternoon tea with tip is $70 USD, so I was expecting a small amount of fabulous. I will say my Darjeeling tea was delicious. What I really didn't like was that they serve your lunch one thing at a time. I like to choose what I'm going to eat when it's all in front of me, which is something every other tea shop offers - except this one. The sandwiches are all made from the same bread. When you're done, you are offered a choice of scones. Then you get one single scone. Mine was overcooked and flat. One scone? They actually wait for you to finish that before they bring you half a crumpet. I didn't want a crumpet (English muffin). But what put me over the edge is when they finally brought out the tray of sweets, you could only choose ONE. This was just too much for me. I choose a chocolate petit four which was mushy, so I didn't eat it. I understand that costs have gone up, but this was just ridiculous. No one came and asked if everything was okay. I swear I was annoyed about this for days afterwards, and it upset an otherwise lovely time with a childhood friend. I will never go back to this place. I felt so ripped off. For the price I paid for my sandwich, overcooked scone, half a small crumpet and one mushy sweet, I could host a tea for a dozen of my friends. It's not like you're paying for atmosphere either, it's a little dive shop by the freeway, they don't play music, they sell the jam for a few dollars more than the shop that actually makes it across the street. Do better, Lovey's. You used to be enchanting. And I think people who like your place just don't know any better.
Tea and vibes are 10/10
My best friend brought us here and everything was amazing!
Love the ambience of the place, it felt quaint and whimsical when stepping inside. I’m not a big fan of tea by any means but their caramel Scottish tea had me in a loop.
Really cute, down-to-earth place with really good teas and quite lovely people. I recommend the Midnight in Paris tea and the green apple/cheese/mustard sandwiches when they have them. Felt like having tea at a friend’s house.
Beautiful little spot! Very welcoming. Had a great time!
Such a delightful way to spend a lovely evening. Very thoughtful service, and enchanting experience.
Nice location. Staff was nice and very helpful. Teas are great
An adorable and authentic tea shop! After becoming obsessed with tea houses on a trip to the UK, I visited Lovey's and was impressed with how much it reminded me of tea time overseas. The tea selection is massive, their scones are out of this world, and the whole shop has an adorable and cozy atmosphere. This place is definitely worth a stop!

Charming and very friendly! Delicious ice teas.
Hands down no other tea place holds a candle to Loveys Tea Shoppe run by its wonderful owner, Gillian! As a family, we have prioritized celebrating many milestones and holidays/birthdays within her tea room. Whenever we visit, we feel quite welcomed and treated so well! The ambiance is exceptionally cozy and relaxing. Best sandwiches, scones, and sweet treats I have ever had, so delicious! Wonderful selection of teas as well. We can't thank Gillian and her staff enough for all that they do! If you are a tea enthusiast and are looking for a great place for tea this is it!
A very pleasant experience with amazing food and tea! A wonderful experience to share with others.
Every time I visit northern California, Lovey's Tea Shoppe is on my agenda! It is in a beautiful location with both indoor and outdoor seating. The tea sets are charmingly mismatched, the decor is perfectly cozy and the sandwiches, bakery and tea are delicious. The owner is always so friendly and generous of spirit. I always have to explore the little gift shop, and when I am home in Wisconsin, I order gift packages for myself and as gifts. Truly a gem!
Where to start, everything is favorite at this place, from fresh Excellent food and arrangment to Vintage vibes and items, kindness is in the air. We were taken with such care. The day was booked. I was kindly offered a table outside and I was given such an amazing gift to celebrate my birthday with my family. It was a beautiful day, perfect celebration. I am very thankful. I picked a couple of free items, my daughter did her shopping, the food is nothing short of delicious, fresh, and plenty, the tea selection and presentation beyond excellent. I can't thank the ladies enough for one of my
best birthday celebrations in a decade! We appreciate you, you are fantastic! We highly reccomand Lovey's. After your tea time, you scroll down and visit the beach. There are beautiful playgrounds in the area. Enjoyed it all. THANK YOU, WE ARE COMING BACK!
