Lovejoy's Restaurant & Tea Room

We loved our trip to LoveJoys last summer. I promised to write this review and so I’m keeping it now, albeit a bit late! What started as a request for a cup of tea ended in the proprietress giving our children a sample of every tea cake she sold and truly keeping us riotously laughing the whole time.
She is brash and bold and unapologetic and 100% the reason 90% of her customers were in that day. Say what you want about the contrast of a Cajun fish boil sign on the sidewalk and the teacups on the inside, but…
We left with a new favorite tea and also feeling like we’d been taken through a few comedy shows on the BBC. It was a delicious riot, just like its owner.
Thank you for the best time!!

since you don't have an email to contact you personally I will have to ask you this as a review: Why would you think 4 quarters of one type of sandwich is proper tea fare? When delivering the tea it needs to be piping hot! ,not lukewarm and when presenting a tiered plate with items you need to provide a small plate for each person to place our food. It is never proper to put one's tea sandwich on the table or expect us to hold it in our hand until finished . Also the staff needs to be dressed professionally not with the tummy protruding from under the shirt. Will give it another chance in case this was a fluke but definitely NOT impressed.

Best thing I’ve had ever 100% recommend

Such a beautiful environment with great staff. All the pastries looked amazing and the macrons we tried were fantastic. They had so many unique flavors. They had many different teas to try from and even coffee if you prefer. Definitely recommend stopping by for a unique experience! Pricing was great.

This was the most unique restaurant I've ever been to. The owner test and her helper Sylvia were incredibly attentive. They even gave us hats to wear while we drank our tea, and the food was more than excellent. It is a must stop when you are in Florence.

I chose lovejoy's as the location for my bridal shower. As I'm keeping everything small for my wedding, I didn't fuss much with planning and simply made a reservation for tea, mentioning it was for bridal shower.

The party went beyond my wildest dreams and I felt like a pampered princess! They did an amazing job decorating the table with fresh and dried flowers and silk petals. Turning on Bridgerton tunes, and loaning us tea hats. The owner and servers were personable and entertaining. The soup, tea sandwiches and sweets were all delicious and the tea was of course wonderful. I was so grateful for them making everything feel special.

We will definitely be back for some of the other menu items and to visit our new friends. Thank you!

Gorgeous tea room and elegant restaurant, a wide selection of delicious teas served in a cozy chair. Cheerful relaxed atmosphere with friendly staff and delicious menu options. The best scones and cinnamon swirl buns.

It’s a beautiful English tearoom experience, but be sure to plan at least two hours. Reservations are highly recommended and they are only open in the morning and early afternoon. I had the scone with cream and jam with an Americano. Delicious! My husband had the chicken and apple sandwich with black tea. He loved it. The atmosphere is very laid back, and the staff is friendly. It’s a fabulous experience, but don’t be in a rush. This is a relaxing, English experience! Enjoy!

After being recommended I try to chowder while travelling through Oregon, I came across Lovejoy’s restaurant and I’m lucky I did, the Chowder was delicious and the staff were super friendly and helpful. Being from the uk, I loved the British theme. I would highly recommend people in or passing through come to Lovejoys. Thank you so much! Dan from the uk

Always a wonderful place to eat and relax.

Adorable tea room, delicious food and great service! Such warm and welcoming staff, highly recommend!

We site says open until 4. We got there at 245 and we're informed they quit serving at 230. Would have been nice to know. Maybe should be on their website. Saw 6 other people go in and come right back out.

Miranda, the employee was so sweet and very professional and kind. She made this place even more delightful.

Pleasant tea shop, friendly but non-intrusive staff.

Not a place for a large group is all I'm gonna say.
