Lovey's Tea Shoppe in Pacifica - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

It is always wonderful going to Lovey's for high tea. The food and teas are wonderful, the shoppe is very cut and charming and the service is always wonderful. Gillian and her tea room have been part of our families shared memories and many milestones have been celebrated there.

Cozy tea shop along the coast with an excellent assortment of teas, tea decor, and finger foods. If you're in Pacifica, stop by!

I love this place, it is the best location to have a tea party.

What a great cute little tea store! Homemade scones and delicious tea served with a great smile! So lucky we found this unique tea place!

My wife and I visited here and loved it. Huge selection of teas and great food (especially the scones). The staff here were so nice and accommodating which contributed to the homey, friendly feel. One of the better tea times I've been to!

Friendly staff but the food is only ok for the price.

I recently visited Loveys Tea House in Pacifica, CA, and had an absolutely delightful experience. The prices were very reasonable, but what truly set this tea house apart was the exceptional staff. They were friendly, attentive, and made us feel incredibly welcome. The highlight of our visit was undoubtedly the food and tea. Their scones were the best I’ve ever had—perfectly baked and delicious. We also tried the Mango Tango tea, which was simply amazing and full of vibrant flavors. Overall, Loveys Tea House provided a wonderful, cozy atmosphere with top-notch service and delectable treats. I can’t recommend it highly enough and will definitely be returning soon!

I’ve been to Lovey’s many times for their lovely scones and amazing chocolate truffles and petit fours…this was the first time having their afternoon tea. It was wonderful with attentive, friendly service, ensuring my pot of tea was kept hot and providing a considerate pace of the courses offered in a relaxed atmosphere. I had to purchase some chocolate truffles to go, of course!

I loved everything about this tea place. Me and my few girl friends came on Friday for high tea and everything was perfect . We each got different types of tea . I got white peach which was amazing with unlimited refill . The sandwiches were delicious and so as scones. Service was great , the ladies were attentive and friendly . We loved the little shop inside where they sell cutest tea pots, cups , teas , scones etc . I ended up getting lychee rose green tea to enjoy at home .

I’ve enjoyed scones, truffles and petite fours at Lovey’s many times, but today treated myself to an afternoon tea (eventually). What a pleasure! The ladies were so kind, attentive, and made it very special. A two-sided menu of teas to select from for your personalized pot of tea. A lovely selection of elegant sandwiches on varied bread (I liked that!) and a little salad. A warm scone, jam and clotted cream (always a highlight for me when they’re proper scones) followed by a warm crumpet with lemon curd. Topped by an option of a petite four, truffle or cookie. Make your reservation for an afternoon tea today!

Literally the cutest little place ever!!! I’m enjoying tea and sandwiches and scones with my sister right now and it’s amazing! Such sweet and attentive workers and delicious tea and food. So much variety, even chocolate tea which I rarely find a truly good version of! Love it here so much and can’t wait to come back!!

Lovely lil tea shop that’s in an unexpected location. They have an outdoor seating space as well as a small inside spot. The sandwiches were nice but nothing special. However, the scones are to die for!!! We ordered more considering they were so good!!!

It is truly Lovely. Best scones and tea. Bought scones to bring back with me to Austin. Highly recommended.

Lovey's Tea Shoppe is a great tea house. I loved the atmosphere, it's so charming and lovely. The tea is fantastic, the scones were so delicious, the sandwiches were also really good. I came here with my friends and we had an amazing time. Everyone is so friendly and welcoming!!

Describe this place in one word: "Delightful"!!! 😃👍 If you know tea, you know that the different varieties of flavors are more subtle than coffee. So it takes a little longer to learn what flavor matches your mood and pallet. Lovey's Tea Shoppe doesn't have the thousands of different teas available, but what they do have on hand (maybe 40 different varieties), should suit most people. It's not a stuffy, formal atmosphere, more light and quaint, and welcome drop-ins. The staff are wonderfully friendly and very helpful if you're not sure what you want. Lovey's is focused on English style tea, which means scones, cucumber sandwiches, and crumpets. They do a traditional English afternoon tea service which looks enticing! I'll have to come back for that for sure! This time around, I just did tea and a scone. I was surprised to find the scone (wasn't) what I expected: dry, very dry. No! Their scones are moist and utterly delicious!!! The tea I chose: Royal Blend, was...scrumptious, would be the word I'd use!!! They describe it as a black tea with a subtle bouquet of vanilla and grenadine. The aroma was sublime!!! If you like English style tea, you'll love Lovey's Tea Shoppe!!! Highly recommend!!!

This place is enchanting and serves delicious scones and tea. I even purchased a tea cup from their selection as a unique gift for a friend! 100% would recommend

This is one of me and my wife's favorite places to go in the whole world. You can either reserve a spot online for one of their "tea parties" for indoor dining, or walk in and order to eat at their eclectic and sweet patio. They have many different kinds of in-house tea blends, including black, green, white, decaf, and herbal. They offer lots of delicious tea foods, that are served in their different dainty teacups and trays. Additionally it functions a bit of an antique and locally sourced store, where they sell lots of tea sets, cups, wares, and their offerings from the menu in small jars. I cannot reccomend Lovey's enough for an occasion of any kind, they are friendly to all groups as I have seen kid's parties as well as corporate groups come together and receive exquisite service fron their kind and attentive staff that work to form one of the best experiences you will ever have.

Came here with my partner to get some teas to-go on our way to the skatepark 🛼. The inside is filled with stuff my Mom & Grandma would love, including the atmosphere which hits a nostalgic chord for me. Both of our teas were great and the owner provided FREE Oat milk! Why is that not standard? They do things properly here, I say.

The Tea House is a cozy and tranquil spot to relax and enjoy a wide variety of teas. The staff is knowledgeable and friendly, creating a delightful experience every time.

What a cool little tea house right on PCH. Incredible loose and bagged tea selection with friendly and knowledgeable staff. Yes, the homemade scones are delicious! Indoor and outdoor seating. A great place to treat yourself or find great gifts. Don’t drive by it, it’s worth stopping.

Quaint place to escape the rat race and enjoy some amazing teas and scones (or finger sandwiches, etc.). Was treated like I was one of the family!

I can't say enough about this place! If you want a personal, cozy, feel good time with a special friend or family member, this is the place! It can take you back in time to fond memories of the Good Ol Days! Thank you staff and company for keeping this alive!

It's a cute lil place. Amazing tea. Great service. You can sit inside or out. Lots of lil things to buy. Very friendly. Their scones and curd/jam are delicious.

After seeing the owner respond so quickly and reading the response; thinking back upon my travels and being told by servers that Americans have an abroad reputation as "serving ware" thieves that think they are entitled to these "souvenirs", I can understand why the trackable reservation may be required for the dainty cups and pots in the ritual, I revised my review to a neutral 3 because it should have been made clear before I ordered that it was being served in "to go" paper cups, as I would not have ordered if I knew that. As an alternative, I suggest one try the restaurant ware stores on Clement street in San Francisco, there one can find reasonable nice simple ceramic cups and pots for general use in house. Paper cups really taint the taste as well as the experience. the original review below... Disappointing experience - I have never in the hundreds of tea houses I have dined in all over the world and locally, both english style and asian, had "dine in/for here" tea served in a paper cup. What is the point of that for sit down dine in tea. Tea served at a table should be properly served in an actual ceramic cup, it does not have to be a dainty one, but not in a paper cup where the paper cup can be tasted in the teas. The irony is that there are, in this tea dive, hundreds of fancy used ceramic and porcelain tea cups for sale. When my tisane came, it was in a paper cup and when I told the server the tea was ordered "for here", obviously, I received an extremely curt reply stating I had to reserve online for the entire tea service if i wanted a proper tea experience with real cups... Um... so I cannot just walk in the almost completely empty tea house and have a proper cup of tea with just a scone... What I received was bagged tea in a paper cup, just like you would get at a fast food place. Hello, don't call yourself a tea house if you cannot do tea right. I wish I could say the tea was good, but it was not as the light tisane tasted like paper cup.

The scones are to die for. The tea with milk and some sugar tastes perfectly. And the service is very accommodating. The walk-up menu order is different from the full tea service that requires reservation in advance. Didn't know that, being the first time there on my mum's request. What would Alice think of this place, one wonders?

We got the lychee rose green tea and some kind of citrus black tea. Both teas were quite mild in flavor profile. We also got the Cucumber dill sandwiches which were fine. The currant scone was a bit dry and the jam that went with it was way too sweet. The lemon ginger scone is the star of the show, and makes up for everything else. I might come back for the lemon ginger scone, but everything else was just mediocre. Unfortunate location as it's right next to the main road and all you hear is traffic, despite them trying to cover the sound of traffic with speakers playing music.

The tea and scones here are awesome! The atmosphere can use some updating, especially outside.

Awesome spot for a pick-me-up with amazing service, tea, and food! Highly recommend the fresh scones and the hazelnut tea!

My most special tea room. It’s such a nice short walk to the ocean. Teas can be swapped out if you don’t like it. They do so great hosting groups!

It's a cozy tea shop with some light lunch options. It's kinda odd getting there but it's worth it. I got a lot of loose leaf black tea; its very good and strong 💪 👌

Tea shops are always the best. The best are always tea shops.

Came here with a group of friends after a hike. We ordered at the counter and sat outside since indoor seating was filled. Service was good. The shop was nice. Sitting outside was pleasant though next to parked cars next to very busy road. I ordered the (tea tray for 1) turkey sandwich which was good. The traditional scone was tasty and the clotted cream wasn’t too bad. My green tea with toasted rice was tasty.

What a disappointment! We were served our tea in a paper cup! When I questioned this and asked for a regular tea cup I was told they would be glad to cancel my order or I could BUY a cup and they would pour my tea into it! No tea drinker uses a paper cup unheard of. Scones were mediocre. Sandwiches were good. I will never return here and I will tell my friends to not go here.

It's been a couple of years, but we (6 of us) all had a great experience.

Lovely place cute gift all around but very small...4 tables only.

Cute place and the food and tea were quite good. They apparently only serve in to go cups since COVID, though, which is a shame and definitely detracts from the experience of going out for tea. They have a really cute gift shop area and the overall atmosphere is quite cozy. There are only a few tables inside. They have some patio seating, though I can't imagine it being very comfortable with the noise of the highway right there. Restroom is great for cleanliness/stock, but it's located outside, around the building, so you can brace yourself for a freezing seat and wet toilet paper during the winter months.

My and my cousin love this place. It's not too expensive for such amazing tea. The scones are wonderful as well. We come by every time they visit.

The cutest tea shop ever! My sister and I stopped here on our Pacific Coast Hwy road trip and it was one of our favorite little spots. The staff was so friendly. We stayed for tea, scones, and tea sandwiches. Everything was delicious.

Great variety of teas and snacks.

OMG..I'm not even a big tea fan, but this place is a-maz-ing! Very friendly, helpful owner with so much good stuff in her uniquely designed shop. Indoor and outdoor seating, even offers crumpets and scones and tea is served on trays, just like a proper tea time should be

Very good tea, cakes, sandwiches, and atmosphere.

Thank you Loveys for your wild strawberry herbal tea sample ( It smells heavenly! ) and replacement tea filters. What a lovely surprise! Such a wonderful little cozy tea shop right on the Pacific coast. For many years when I would visit I never had the chance to stop by. I finally had the chance and I was not disappointed. Check their website if you want to reserve a tea time for a larger party. I went two days and the first day it was just open seating where you could grab some hot tea, set a beautiful table and get a pastry. The other day there was a large party having tea and little cute sandwiches to eat. There are many wonderful blends of tea that you can purchase. They are all so very fragrant and delicious! You will not be disappointed with any of them. If you are a tea enthusiast, you must absolutely stop here.

Perfect place to grab a to go tea to keep you warm for an overcast or chilly beach walk. When we do to go from here there’s often a little bit of a wait. Enjoy the shop’s decors while you wait. Enjoyable for high tea too. It’s a cute tea shop on the coast. Fun eclectic vibes and delightful scones and petit fours. The staff is knowledgeable and helpful during the tea selection. I always get a fruit flavored tea of some kind. I have heard from others that chamomile here is good.

So many varieties of loose leave teas it was amazing. Had some really cute tea cups also. Love that they have tea samplers - trying the chocolate chai.

Scones and tea were lovely, quaint little shop.

We love Lovey’s! For nearly 10 years, since Lovey’s first opened, it has been a favorite of our family. Princess teas for our little princess, takeout as a treat to help us cope with quarantine, and now that we moved back to the east coast, a long-distance delivery and taste of our old home every few months, often with a sweet note or treat for our kids from Gillian. Lovey’s has been part of our family and provided some of our favorite memories for these many years and I will always be grateful.

The only thing i would change is highway noise. The staff is nice, they were even working on vegan scones, and they have a great selection of tea. Lovely stop!!

Stopped by here and got some amazing loose leaf teas, scones, chocolate, and a mismatched tea set. I just love this place!

It’s really odd having afternoon tea out of paper cups and paper bowls outside in the wind. Seems like this place is liquidating their tea cups and other assets. Seems like this place is going to close unfortunately. Service was chaotic. Afternoon tea was reduced down to a Starbucks experience here unfortunately.

Beautifully experience for a very busy day. Speaking with Gillian was a delightful pleasure.

Fantastic adorable tea shoppe. Delicious scones. Perfect crumpets. Yummy lemon curd and authentic Devonshire cream. To go tea or eat in tea available. Kitchen closes 1 hour before closing time. Adorable, antique, unique tea cups and accessories. I always find something to add to our tea party collection. Gillian and Rebecca provide fantastic customer service with restoration knowledge for antique tea sets.

Great hostesses providing an ecclectic tea, sandwiches, candies and scones selection to eat in a cute outdoor area. A bit in the pricey side but fun for an occasion!

A very cute restaurant! Service is excellent! Just a lovely place to shop and eat!

It's an actual place to have tea and scones, so...

Great scones, sandwiches and tea!

This place is adorable! The tea tray for 2 was exactly the joy I needed as we exit the pandemic. Outdoor space is inviting and a bit magical even with the adjacent highway noise. Food was delicious and tea options were broad and tasty.

The people running the shop are so sweet and the teas are tasty, especially the herbal ones.

Fantastic little shop! It's like a tiny front room with all manner of things tea-related. The staff is warm, friendly and knowledgeable. I overheard a phone call suggesting the caller try another tea shop as they may have what the caller was looking for. That is outstanding service, in my book. This was my first visit and won't be my last.

Owner is extremely hospitable and accommodating. The food is amazing and worth trying! If you want to do a picnic by the beach, you can stop by here

Really cute little shoppe at the entrance to Rockaway Beach. Wonderful tea service with fantastic scones, crumpets, and sandwiches.

Cute tea shop that offers English-style high tea. Best to order online in advance. We took ours to the beach around the corner.

Stopped by randomly. It was absolutely lovely. The food was delish as was the tea.

Super lovely place. Food is tasty. A lot of options for tea sandwiches. Great selection of the tea. And there are plenty of decaf black tea options like lady gray, Earle great, back vanilla and so on. Unfortunately due to covid they don't service it in cute China and only 4 tables outside to seat. No reservations.

Absolutely lovely! Lovely tea shop is a great place to have a cup of tea, and experience in American version of high tea.

Great food, the shop is adorable, and the ladies are sweet!

Great Service. Ambiance is fantastic. Always makes us feel important

Trying to visit for months , we finally made it this weekend . The tea flavors are amazing ... Specially the Blood Orange 🍊 husband and kids also enjoyed it ! Can't wait to come get more tea tomorrow morning. I'm sad I don't get to enjoy it in a nice cup and use their fancy teapots but , I get it ... Precautions Oh! Can't close this without saying , the scones are sooooo good too ...lemon ginger my fave . The ladies are so lovely and warm with every customer 😍

Very friendly owners, quality goods, and great support for local charities through their profits and partners. I enjoyed my scones, cookies, handcrafted bowl and recommended jams immensely!

We are so happy that Loveys does take-out. It is the sweetest little tea house in a very improbable location: directly on Highway 1. One can even order a two-tiered sandwich and tea-cake platter take away We look forward to enjoying the decorations inside the shop one day, and we are happy to enjoy the food now

Just the absoulte best place for all your tea loves and needs. Informative, knowledgeable staff, this store is a true treasure.

I had (what I assume to be) a traditional English tea with small sandwiches, crumpets, scones, a Petit four, and, of course, tea (multiple kinds). Everything was very tasty but I recommend the currant scones and the Chestnut tea.

Lovely place with an excellent selection of teas and treats. Warm hospitality.

The food is excellent including the atmosphere. It is very close to the beach in Pacifica. The owners , Muna and Gillian, are very warm and personal. The service is excellent also. My wife , and I, highly recommend Lovey's Tea Shoppe.

Lovely experience.. scones are mind- blowing. We got some additional scones to take home. The high tea is a good treat for a lazy afternoon.

Never liked tea before. This place changed my mind. Great personalized service. Proprietor gives great suggestions. Sandwiches, scones and teas were all delicious.

Great Spot not only for high tea but for a gathering with friends as well! Awesome customer service too! I WILL be back!

Such a beautiful experience! Fantastic service, food and teas! Will definitely be going back and telling friends about this place!

Tea at Lovey’s was a positive experience. Service was friendly, accommodating, and beyond patient. We had 5 children with us and they were great with them. Food was excellent. Everything was fresh. I will be returning.

Great service, super cute decor and delicious food. We will be back again.

Nice enough, spent uncles 80th bday here

Amazing service. Very unique shop. Tea lovers paradise

The Lovejoy's franchise continues to delight! This location is open on Sundays and Mondays which my favorite nearest place is not. The sandwiches are so good as is the tea!

Over rated over priced for tea! Very small venue and crowded with stuff!. Little sandwiches were bland!

I'm kind of sorry I went because now I will want to stop there whenever they are open on my way home. I stopped to ask if my dog Bogart could sit with me on the patio and from the first we were welcomed by friendly smiles. We really appreciate the service and attention. I had the high tea service, decided on the shrimp and mayo sandwich and the sandwich of the day which was a chicken chutney. The greens with dressing and coleslaw included were a good portion. The scone was fresh and hot. It is recommended to start with it to enjoy it as such. I had the mango tea it's perfect with or without milk. Everything was tasty and satisfying and reasonably priced. We will return.

I have been coming here fairly frequently since I discovered that the owner owned both Lovejoy's in SF and this adorable location in Pacifica. The main reason I favor this place is because they have a community table for those who don't have a reservation. If there is an open space available, you're welcome to sit for a bit. Another main reason is that their scones are absolutely to die for. They're dangerously good, so make sure to either savor your single scone or bring extra cash for that second scone. Their tea selection is quite vast as well ( a whole page dedicated to them) - I always end up getting the Chocolate Truffle or Chestnut (chestnut on this day). But I'm sure the other teas are equally as delicious (they are bottomless, so feel free to drink until you pop!). The only issue is to be careful of parking - it's a bit challenging to get in/out of the small lot. But a way around that is street parking behind the shop (if you can find some space). So check this out and enjoy!

Very attentive personal, very helpful. And a nice cozy tea house

Great tea time - a proper British tea ceremony!

Nice sandwiches & scones were very good

A lovely tea house with great selection of tea.

We came here and had the Queen's tea <3 very lovely service and fun atmosphere.

Super cute - a curious experience

This place was awesome!! Lovely people and everything was delicious!!

It's like stepping into an alternate universe. Sweet and quaint. The cute teapots and cups and saucers had me expecting the characters from Disney's Beauty and the Beast to appear. As a bonus the tea and little sandwiches are delicious.

Very friendly staff. Ready to answer any questions. Didn't actually spend time to taste the menu. There were a lot of choices (savory/sweet bites and of course different varieties of tea) . Bought some tea which tasted at home and it was flavorful. Atmosphere is very inviting and positive. Comfortable and makes you feel like home. Outside seats available. Would definitely come back.

Was just a quick stop but decent selections and a cozy place.

Loved the spot that we happened to change upon. The menu is exquisite and the quality of the food was great. I'll definitely come back. Do not miss the oh so warm scones.

Great place, great service, wonderful selection of teas.

Lovey feels like a throwback to midcentury in presentation, ambience, and decor. We thoroughly enjoyed the experience, the tea, and the snacks. Proper tea parlors such as this one tend to feel expensive compared to a Starbucks but the intended audience is quite different. Lovey is quirky and embodies a California beach vibe into its English character. It has some connection but is not exactly a rival to say the tea room at the Hotel Cafe Royal in London. We enjoyed the teas, the sandwiches, and the crumpet. Given the dearth of tea parlors and the preponderance of Starbucks, we count ourselves fans. The clientele was somewhat mixed. Some people seemed taken aback at the lack of similarity to a Starbucks. Others appeared to be repeat customers and some even came dressed for the occasion. It’s definitely worth a visit and children are welcome. There are even menu items dedicated just for them.

We had great customer service. The food and tea were amazing, but the portions of food are a bit small. The scones are some of the best I've ever had. The dining area is small, I would recommend a reservation but there is a community table if you haven't.

The peanut butter chocolate brownie was amazing!
