Crown & Crumpet Tea Stop Cafe

Afternoon tea is all about the frills, and Crown & Crumpet is delightfully decorated. However, located in the lobby of the New People building, with only a flimsy banner makes for an uncomfortable setting.
The tea set is priced at $ 28, coming with a large pot of tea that can be refilled. 2 types of sandwiches, salad, a mini quiche and sausage, a scone and crumpet, and a few sweet items. The food isn’t spectacular, especially since it’s pre-​selected, but I did like my tea.
Overall, this isn’t my favorite place for afternoon tea.

I can’t say enough good things about this place! The décor is adorable. The food is delicious. The staff is so friendly. I have a few food allergies to preservatives, and they were very helpful in identifying any foods that I might have a problem with. The first day I stopped by, they were booked, so I made a reservation for the next day. They were apologetic and even gave me a free cup of tea to go!
I had the Afternoon Tea for one with Marie Antoinette tea (a black tea with rose and strawberry). Everything was delicious and beautifully presented. My favorites were the apple cinnamon scone with clotted cream, chicken salad sandwich, and Earl Grey truffle.
I honestly cannot find anything negative to say. You need to check it out yourself! You will be glad you did!

Cutest place ever! Been to couple high tea places, and this has to be the cutest place I’ve been to. Service and the food is A++ !!
The owner went around every table greeted everyone, it was very personable and homey! Super nice!
We left with all smiles :)

The décor at Crown & Crumpet is so pink and frilly and adorable! I would love to bring my baby sister here sometime (they have a special kids high tea set) :)
My bf took me here on a date and we had the best time! The waiter was very attentive and friendly even though he was the only person serving all the tables.
We ordered the high tea set (~$ 30/​person) which was presented on a 3-​tier plate and was surprisingly filling. Overall the food was pretty good, but I would totally come back just to order the scones… they were definitely the best part of the meal. The savory food was not nearly as memorable as the scones and the sweets on the top tier! This was also my first time trying crumpets and it was rather dry/​flavorless so I don’t think I’m a huge fan

Went here for lunch on my birthday. Such a cute place!!! Enjoyed the tea, and cute snacks. Definitely will come back again and have tea time with my girls.

I have rarely had tea outside of an Asian restaurant. Heck, I’ve never even had a crumpet. Another first. How that has changed.
Our party of 4 each had the Tea for One, at $ 28 each. While that may seem like an astronomical amount, it is a huge amount of food. Top that off with Sausage Rolls, which I didn’t even see on the menu, my dining companion knew to order. Be sure to ask for brown mustard.
With the tea service, you get several sandwiches, sweet and savory scones, salad, and desserts. For the sandwiches, we had egg salad, and a concoction of turkey salad with bacon. I was partial to the turkey. The salad was simply dressed and satisfying. The scones and crumpets come with lemon curd, and a few jams. Also available was a basil pesto tomato sandwich. I think that was my favorite.
The pastries and desserts are simple and not overly sweet. We had a few cookies, tarts, palmiers, and chocolate dipped strawberries.
Service was great and they will be able to steer you to a tea to your liking depending on your taste. I am partial to green teas and they have several kinds.
I had no idea what to expect but I had a nice time with good conversation. It’s a quiet place to catch up where the staff will let you be in peace so you may enjoy.

This is my favorite tea place because the food is the best here and overall good tea selections. I know that high tea is on the lighter side, but most of the time I am still hungry. Not bad here. :D
PROS:
–Friendly and courteous staff
–Good location
–Cute décor & presentation
–Great selection of teas and food
–LOVE their mixed berry scones and crumpets
–Fresh tasting desserts
–PERFECT for large parties or even if it’s just you and a friend!
CONS:
–Should replace some of the older and faded logo plates

My roommate and I are going around the city searching for the best high-​tea restaurant. We went to Crown & Crumpet about an hour till closing time on a rainy afternoon. It was the only reservation left. And I’m not surprised. The food and tea are fantastic.
I was really hungry, so I ordered the turkey BLT salad along with high-​tea. The savory sandwiches, scones, and desserts that came with the tea were all delicious and fresh. I ordered the Marie Antoinette tea, a black tea with a hint of rose. I ended up drinking two pots so I was on a caffeine high and couldn’t sleep that night!
The Crown & Crumpet has an awkward set up because it takes up the lobby of a mini-​mall in Japantown. It’s roped off, and there’s a constant flow of people. The flow was particularly heavy that afternoon as there was a JPop/​film festival event. But it didn’t deter from our fun-​filled afternoon.
And I love the feminine «Mad Hatter» décor and welcoming atmosphere. Our waitress was very knowledgeable of the different types of tea.
I definitely recommend getting reservations because it’s pretty popular. Out of the few high-​tea restaurants I’ve been to, this is by far my favorite.

Whether it be for a friend date or romantic date or something inbetween, Crown and Crumpet is an adorable little place to sip some tea and snack on some cutesy food while you relax with good conversation.
The dishes and décor are all matching and very cute, contributing well to the overall theme of a tea shop. The café is, however, located inside of the New People building, and it detracted from the experience a bit to see people walking in/​out and gawking as they passed by.
My friend and I decided to get the afternoon tea for two ($ 28/​person), although the menu does offer other separate lunch entrees. The afternoon tea consists of salad, sandwiches, savory pastries, and 4 different small desserts on top. It didn’t SEEM like a lot of food (I daresay I could’ve eaten both of our portions combined), but I actually felt reasonable full afterwards! My favorites were the sandwiches, quiche, and pastries (I just like carbs I guess), especially because the lemon custard and clotted cream were so good! I wasn’t as impressed with the desserts; I do think they change this up every so often, but one of ours was just a simple cookie with sprinkles… kind of underwhelming.
As for the tea, they have an extensive menu of black, white, fruity, and more. Afternoon tea allows you to pick a pot of your own. The descriptions sounded intriguing but the tea itself was not very strong nor flavorful. We got our tea over ice because it was sweltering outside, but were disappointed to find it came in plastic cups and not in a pot, therefore we had no reason to use our dainty little cups with our pinkies out…
Service was great however — our waitress answered any questions we had in detail and stopped by periodically to see if we needed refills on our tea. Food came out surprisingly quickly as well. We did make a reservation but it was not crowded at all on a Saturday afternoon (I’d err on the side of caution if there was an event going on in Japantown though). Overall, a tad pricey but very adorable and the stuff of dreams for your inner 7-​year old princess!

Had some afternoon tea on a date. I think it is nice to go to for the ambiance, the tea and food was pretty good, but not out of this world. I would go back just to enjoy the experience.
Good
— quaint, cute decorations
— very friendly and attentive service
— good tasting food
Not so good
— the tea was ok, but a little weak for my taste

I love this place! But mostly because I think the décor is adorable. What can I say, mid-​twenties and I still love teatime.
The Marie Antoinette tea was good: roses with a hint of strawberry. It was good with milk and sugar.
I got the afternoon tea for one, it came with a couple crumpets, condiments (clotted cream, lemon curd, strawberry jam, 2 small sandwiches, and a few little sweets. The crumpets were great, however the sandwiches didn’t blow me away. $ 28 is a bit steep for what you’re getting, but it’s fun for the atmosphere and having tea and small bites with friends.

This place is so whimsical and cute! Service was quick and attentive. Prices are affordable, too. We ordered the afternoon tea for one, nursery tea for my daughter and the chicken Apple sausage rolls to share. Everything came out quickly and tastes delicious! The Alice tea and Paris tea were both so tasty. Wonderful taste and aroma. I highly recommend this place!

Would you like a spot of tea?
We came here for my nieces sweetest 16^th birthday. All the girl family members were in attendance to celebrate with her. We were all lady-​like for a day in our summer dresses, cute shoes and adorable handbags. No white gloves and big fluffy hats were needed, as the décor and tea sets made for a girly fun time of tea and crumpets.
Let me start by saying that all the chinaware are adorably cute and very English-​like. The tea was of high quality because you can actually taste the fruity sweetness from the black tea leaves of Darjeeling, one of my favorite pots of tea. No sugar or cream required, just taste the full body flavors from the tea.
Here’s where I was a tad disappointed. The tiny cucumber sandwiches, which were impeccably cut tasted dry and a bit stale. The crumpets, were weirdly mushy with an odd chew texture. The scones, which are supposed to be dry and crumbliness were too dry and crumby. I guess the food didn’t give me the same joy as seeing all the sweet decoration. I love the table clothes and cute table sets but it was in a weird location, right at the entry way of the building. It didn’t quite fit in and felt forced. We ended up sitting close to the doorway where all the passerby’s were going in and out of the building. High traffic was throwing off the cute mojo. I think adding a white picket fence with flower pots may had made a difference instead of having barrier ropes that look like your going to a nightclub instead of having High Tea.
Don’t get me wrong, the overall idea of a tea party is always fun! It’s just a few things need improvements to make it an ultra wow experience. Customer service was great. The owner was so nice. She even complimented us on our handbag choices, which is makes any girl happy.
NOTES: Street parking is tough, save yourself a headache and pay the high price parking lot fee. Plenty of sight-​seeing and shopping to do in the same building. Don’t miss the Harujuku store, so unique, so fun, so so!

My family surprised me to an early birthday, mommy and me afternoon tea date. We were cheerfully greeted by Amy — she was very friendly, welcoming and engaging.
Our actual server was not. She was a bit robotic and just asked for orders etc.
Amy returned to our table went over menu options, took our photo, put my flowers in fresh water much appreciates hosputality. Not sure if she since our service was a bit drab but she saved the day.
We ordered 2. High Tea’ and a chicken sandwich of some sort everything was surprisingly delicious. The décor was very cute but more coffee shop like than tea room.
Over all fun time.

Finally got to take my daughter here along with my friend and her daughter. Not at all as I imagined – I thought it had it’s own store space, but was still a fun & cute experience with mothers & daughters and/​or friends.
It is inside the People’s building to the right as you enter, making it seem like a kiosk café at the mall with some tables. Sort of awkward, but after sipping on tea with delicious scones, you forget all about it :)
Everything we ordered was delicious & worth the price. At first thought, you’d think it to be pricey, but everything we ordered was worth it.
–House Salad
–Chicken Mozzarella Salad
–Chicken Pot Pie
–Rooibos Chai Tea
–Cranberry Scones
–Blueberry Macaron
We can’t wait for another visit

It’s been about 5 years since my first visit to Crown & Crumpet at their old location in Ghirardelli Square. I miss their old location which was more spacious and even had a fireplace. Their new location is more like a casual café.
I called several times to try and get a reservation for a bachelorette party in their private room. I don’t know how my messages got lost, but finally someone put me through to their event coordinator Amy. Unfortunately I didn’t get the time that I wanted but I was still able to book the day that I wanted. Amy was very accommodating and thoroughly explained their process to me.
I chose this place because my girl wanted high tea and this place looked really cute. It had a nice private room for guests. It can be hard to find a venue for 10+ people in SF. I also liked that party favors were included with the price. Corkage fee was $ 10 per bottle and included flutes for all the guests.
There was more than enough food for everyone. Although I felt some of the bread on the sandwiches were a little stale. The desserts weren’t as cute as they were the last time I had high tea with C&C. We enjoyed the privacy of the room and it was quite spacious. The bathrooms were all the way down the stairs in the basement. They have bidets, which is weird. But the seat warmers were nice.

This is one of those things that you have to at least try once in your life just for the fun of it! I liked it better when there located near the ghirdelli factory because there location was superb because you get to sit outside with an ocean view on a warmer day. This new location is inside the new people building across from Japantown which is bit hard to find if you didn’t know it was inside new people. This is considered high tea with small bites and teas which too me is cute but a bit pricey since many of these stuff you can whip it up yourself for a way cheaper price. They do have a good variety of small bites ranging from cookies, crumpets, scones, salads and sandwiches and etc. They also have lots of different flavor teas to choose from too! I don’t think this would be my ideal afternoon thing unless I am feeling super fancy and want to be fancy so I go high tea. Overall this place is ok and nothing to really be excited about since it is a bit on the pricey side compared to other tea places.

«Gossip is the best sweetener for tea.» No truer words have been spoken on a tea saucer. My cousin took me to Crown & Crumpet because she saw it in a YouTube celebrity’s video. I don’t think I would have found this place otherwise! I was immediately enchanted but it’s quaint and dainty atmosphere, as we sat down for some afternoon tea.
We settled on the Afternoon Tea for One which is $ 28 with a split charge of $ 6. We should have gone for that split charge but instead got two orders of that special. Lots of food, including scones, crumpets, tea sandwiches, green salad, and three pieces of sweets.
I chose the Alice «Drink Me» Tea which is blended with champagne and tiny sugar crystals. Once of the best teas I’ve ever had! Would definitely come back for that. The teapot has so much tea, too… so all I would want for a future afternoon snack is that tea and perhaps a scone. The food, however, was gross. I physically had trouble downing the sandwiches, and the sweets did not look appetizing. Next time I’ll just be back for tea, scones, and gossip!

Very cute place in Japantown for high tea. Make a reservation beforehand on Unilocal or their website. We got the afternoon tea which included sandwiches, a salad, scone, crumpet, mini desserts and a pot of tea of your choice. The food and service was great, just wished they kept their other location open, this place lacks the privacy the other spot had.

My mom and I stumbled upon this place while in Japantown. It’s located in the New People Building, right when you walk in. Although it’s not enclosed (not it’s own separate café), it’s still really cozy. I love all the decorations and they really all blend well together to fit the overall theme.
I ordered the Stardust tea, which comes with little speckles of silver dust! It was really delicious! Their blueberry scones are some of the best that I’ve ever had… Really, I have been dreaming about them. They’re big and fluffy, and so incredibly tasty. They are served with three spreads, lemon curd, strawberry jam, and clotted cream. All were delicious and I especially loved the strawberry jam + clotted cream combination!
This is a great place to stop by for breakfast/​lunch. They also have an Afternoon Tea, which I will definitely try next time I’m here. The only con is that they are pricey. My scones were $ 8 (but so worth it!), Afternoon tea for one person is $ 28 and any split plate is an additional $ 6. Also the place is relatively small. I would expect a line on weekends when they’re busy.
I think this place is great for any special occasion. Definitely check out this place next time your in Japantown!

Came here about a year ago with a friend to catch up, and we had wanted to come here for a while. Cute interior (that clock on the wall– very cool and a nice touch to the place). My friend and I didn’t really know what to expect, so everything seemed interesting. Their tea selections were very light and fragrant, and the finger foods were divine! Only thing that I wish I could have changed was going to their previous location (before they moved to the New People building) — having distractions (e.g. people coming in and out to check out the VIZ theatre and the New People store) lessened the tea party/​tea shoppe atmosphere.
Overall good place to check out and a nice place to enjoy your time catching up with a friend :)

My sister and I stopped in to this shop with a Groupon deal in tow, which actually was a surprisingly great deal.
The first few things that struck me: I wasn’t a big fan of the fact that the shop was situated in the corner of a larger department store. Didn’t quite have the feel of an afternoon tea place. However, the service was excellent and because there weren’t many customers at the time my sister and I went, we received a lot of attention.
The Groupon deal includes two types of teas and an afternoon tea set of three: finger sandwiches, blueberry scones, and of course, sweets.
We ordered the Alice Drink Me tea and the Stardust tea. I was a bigger fan of the Stardust tea– I’m a sucker for Chai teas in general so this particular type was right up my alley.
The finger food was interesting. Some unique morsels on the plate including a sandwich with a curry meat of some type (Chicken?). My sister wasn’t a fan. I consumed both egg salad sandwiches as they were delicious! The sweets included lavender cookies, which were a tad too hard for my taste, meringue, and a variant of Rice Krispies. I was unimpressed with those Rice Krispies which definitely seemed like fruit loops…
I think the winner was the blueberry scone though. Eat it warm and the crumbly insides will make you melt. So so so good. My sister and I wished we got a whole plate of just those scones!
Overall, average place for afternoon tea. The Groupon made this shop a great experience but I’m not sure I would return without a good deal.

Honestly with all the meager reviews, I expected the food here to be disappointing and the service to be shoddy. But today was anything but.
I made a reservation a week in advance for 10 guys — no special occasion, we just wanted afternoon tea. I got a phone call no less than three times asking about our party and whether we’d like to place pre-​orders. I think Crown & Crumpet must be used to getting crap about food arriving at different times, because my group was constantly reminded that they have a «tiny kitchen» and orders that are not tea services might take longer.
Well, they didn’t. Tea, the food services, and other menu items all arrived promptly, with only one waiter (that I saw) serving our table. Moreover, the other menu items were really good! I remember specifically two friends getting the sausage roll plate and thinking it would be little microwaved pigs in blankets. But these were actually full sausages with salad and chips.
The tea was good. I didn’t ask them to fix this, but one thing that sucked is the teapots don’t fully contain the loose leaves, and some of them end up at the bottom of your cup. Restaurants typically will have a filter to put over the cup, or maybe our waiter could have replaced us with fresh cups.
The other thing you should watch is how much tea you’re getting. We didn’t have to pay extra, but I did notice they capped refilling a teapot to just once, which I think makes sense on the business end of keeping tables rotating. But especially for expensive services — even though this one runs cheaper in SF — the whole darn point is the tea, so I don’t think Crown & Crumpet should be stingy with the refills. It’s not something that actually was an issue for our group, but customers should watch out for it anyway!
Definitely a place I’ll come back to someday, and sort of a gem considering how easy it was to make a reservation.

My friend and i were craving for some tea. We wanted to go to Lovejoy’s tea place but they were overbook and couldn’t make reservation there so we decided to come here instead. You will have a hard time looking for this place since it is inside the New People clothes store and they don’t post the name of this tea place on the outside.
While looking at the menu, you can either pick whatever food and tea separately or get the afternoon tea for 1 which is a preset of foods that the worker will pick for you. We decided to get the afternoon tea for 1×2 since we can get 2 of everything. It costs $ 28 per person. If you only get one set of afternoon for 1 but want to share plate, it’ll cost an extra $ 6. Thought its kinda expensive for the amount of foods you get.
Anyways, i thought the foods were good. I got Peach crumpet as my tea. I like the taste of this tea. You can get refill of water if you run out since the tea pot is small if you order the afternoon tea for 1.

I heard good things about Crown & Crumpet when they were at the Ghirardelli location. They have been at this location on Post for 3 years now, and we were in search for a place for high tea for my MIL for December 26. Of course, Love Joy, Palace Hotel, etc., were all booked, so we decided to try this place. We booked a 11am reservation and apparently it was the first reservation of the day. We had difficulty finding the place, it wasn’t in its own stand alone shop and it was in the middle of Japan town. An unusual place for an English Tea shop, in my opinion.
We opened the front door of 1746 Post Street, which seemed to be a mini mall of small shops, a tiny cinema, and Crown & Crumpet … right in the lobby. It seemed like a pop up location and very odd set up. We arrived 15 minutes early and the were still setting up. It was a little awkward.
At 11:01am, we were finally asked to be seated. I honestly don’t know why they couldn’t have seated us 5 minutes earlier as a courteous. It’s not like there was comfortable seating in that lobby, as we watched them set every single table. Bad points for not so great customer service thus far.
After we were seated, I felt a little more comfortable… and we looked over the menu. They had a lot to offer, but we came for the holiday tea — scones, crumpets, tea sandwiches etc. We placed our orders and tea selections. My SIL asked about the difference between the Chai and Roibois chai (sp?) and was told one was caffeinated and one was not. The answer from our waitstaff seemed a little short and snarky… and I was expecting a tiny bit of feedback about some sort of different… but perhaps not.
In my past experience with high tea, we typically select our own tea sandwiches, where this place it is all pre-​set. The scones were good, but likely store bought… the crumpet was flat like a pancake and not what I was use to, but both were OK. The tea sandwiches were only OK… and the bread seemed a little stale to me. No petty fours… =(
I won’t be coming back. I do not recommend this place. Despite all this, we had a nice time and I’m a little embarrassed I recommended we book here!

$ 83 plus tip for two people. I rather go to Dartealing, neiman Marcus, or love joy for that price. Even the places I named don’t cost as Much and they’re actual tea rooms. This place has too much of a modern contemporary feel. The food was mediocre, too.
I’ll pass. Won’t come back.

This was overpriced.
The pots and décor were cute but the amount of food we received was not worth $ 97 after tax and tip.
There was a limited selection of tea and we didn’t get to choose what sandwiches we wanted. The meringue was tooth achingly sweet. Shortbread cookies were ok. Sandwiches were meh. My peach tea wasn’t as fragrant as other places. In fact, it was a bit bland.
$ 38 for one is more costly than other bonafide tearooms such as Lovejoy and Dartealing.

It was a cold and rainy day in San Francisco, so an inside hug from a cup of tea was just what I needed. Crown & Crumpet is located on the ground level of a mixed-​use building in Japan town that includes a movie theatre and eyelash extension spot. It’s cutesy and modern with lots of wall to wall windows that invite the sunlight to bathe over you.
My friend and I each got the afternoon tea special which included a pot of tea, three chef’s curated tea sandwiches, a warm scone, crumpet, pig in a blanket, quiche, and dessert. Looking back, it probably would have been best if we split just one order even if there is an additional cost to do so.
When the owner was around it was obvious that she was super excited and passionate about giving each individual a great experience but the level of detail was not provided by the other servers. The service provided was not terrible, but you could just see the stark difference in energy.
To be honest, the food was okay. I was not a fan of the tea sandwiches, quiche or crumpet. My clotted cream had a weird bitter aftertaste. The sweets and freshly baked mixed berry scone were are all winners however.
Pot of tea was not refilled which I found surprising. An okay experience but you can find better for your money elsewhere in the city.

Tucked away inside a nondescript building in Little Tokyo, is this tea room that is the epitome of cuteness! You would wonder when you were transported into Wonderland.
I came here to celebrate a friend’s bridal shower, which was held in their private room in the back. Cute plates were hung on the walls and various trinkets decorated the room.
Amy, the owner, personally served us. She described each tea and what we should taste, whether or not it’s recommended to add sugar or cream. Her and Mimi came into the room periodically to see if we were ok and if we needed our cups refilled. They were quite attentive.
The food was served on nice 3 tiered servers. Scones, biscuits, tea sandwiches, and pastries. I liked one of the ham sandwiches and was informed that the ham was actually made in house. The pastries could have used a little more work. The tastes, textures, and color were a little off, but I was quite pleased with everything else. We were allowed to all pay separately, which made it easier on us to split the bill.
If you are a sucker for cute and frilly décor, or if you are a gothic lolita, this place is for you. There is no dress code, but it adds to the experience to look the part for tea time!

I came here a few years ago to the Japantown location, but this review is for their Pop-​Up at Sir Francis Drake. YES! You can have high tea while doing your holiday shopping!
Came here with a few friends, and it’s an amazing place to have high tea during the holidays. You should make a reservation, since it’s a pop up and they need to ID how much stuff to have on hand for you. Everything was delicious, but things that stuck out in my mind:
Egg Salad Croissant: super flavorful and perfectly made. When I bit into it, I didn’t get egg salad everywhere. Messy is good for a giant sandwich, not for high tea.
Cucumber Open Faced Sandwich: Hella nicely made. The cucumber was paper thin and perfect.
Salmon: Just delicious. It might look like very little salmon, but when you bite it, its delicious and just perfect.
The sweets were all amazing, but my favorite was the little chocolate cup. They made a little winterscape out of the cup. HELLA CUTE!
I had the Alice tea, and it was delicious. I actually don’t like milk or sugar in my tea, so I base this on plain tea (its the Chinese in me).
And the staff were awesome. The winter high tea comes with presents (ornaments and meringue!). If you have any issues or concerns, ask a staff and they’re great about addressing it.

Came here on Sunday for afternoon tea. Well, this place is located right next to the entrance of the mall, unlike other tea rooms making you feel cozy and intimate.
The tea was good. We got one pot of Alice and another pot of sth I don’t remember. Desserts are not quite impressive. And other savory options are just okay. Hmm.
The service was. interesting. I think maybe the waitress had a bad day. I almost wanted to comfort her.

I came here today to celebrate my mom’s birthday, she wanted to go for a English tea. I was surprised how small it is and for the price I was expecting a tea service in a full scale tea room or restaurant for the price per person. The tables are so close together barely enough room to move in between the tables. There was a bridal shower party at the table behind our table and they were taking pictures, I felt that I was in their way. But the place is too small nowhere to go. I felt like I was in a lobby or a hallway.
The service staff was nice and helpful, explained what was what on each tier of the serving plates. I would give them 5 stars. I don’t like that they charge $ 6 to split the tea plates and you don’t get to pick what sandwiches you get, its pre-​selected. I am not a kid who can’t make up my mind. For 2 people including tip was $ 71, so 36 per person for tea. They have tea for one, it should be tea for 2. It was worth to try, but I don’t think I will go again until they find a new location downtown that is an actual restaurant.

FYI, IT IS LOCATED INSIDE THE FREE PEOPLE BUILDING. Just wanted to emphasize that because I got lost trying to find it lol… It is not it’s own store, but sectioned off. When we went there, there was a Naruto movie screening or something, and they were selling Naruto stuff on the side. It was noisy, but I don’t think happens often though.
Anyway, came here without a reservation for two. We came at 11:40am and only two tables were occupied. We ordered tea for two and our food came out in a timely manner. Our server was nice and checked up on us. The sandwiches were OK; some were soggy and others were too hard. I’ve been to better afternoon teas. I ordered Happiness Is tea; it smelled really good, but tasted like hot water.
What I do like are the plates/​pot and décor. They have logos on Crown and Crumpets. Very cute.
Oh! And they gave me a delicious glittered strawberry macaroon for my birthday! I told them to hold off on the singing though. :)
Overall, I like this place, but I would like to try other places before coming back.

Came here for a high tea afternoon with my girlfriends. I was surprised upon walking in as the location of this place is at the entrance of a building so you take a second or so to click that it is the tea room itself, and not just a waiting area.
The place has a mix of cutesy and modern as it is located in the middle of Japantown. I was pleasantly surprised with their customer service. We had to change our reservation size and were met with grace, willingness and friendly smiles. The guy working at the register was specially attentive and quickly came with an extra chair upon observing that a new friend had joined the table.
But let’s talk about what really matters, the food! It was absolutely delicious. We had the afternoon tea option where you pay $ 28 and have a sample feast of delicious baked goodies, sandwiches, your own tea pot, fruits and desserts. It was delicious and very satisfying. My tea of choice was caramel vanilla. It was sweet and perfect.
Definitely looking forward to a repeat as my first experience was wonderful. Thank you to our server for being so sweet, attentive and patient with our large group of chatty women.

Would you like a spot of tea, my dear?
I’ve been to Crown & Crumpet once when it was at its old location in Ghiradelli Square & remember really liking it alot. I’m so glad that my bestie took me here today to celebrate my birthday. She had bought a Groupon, and she knew this would have been perfect for us since we’re so fond of tea time & sweets. :)
This new Crown & Crumpet is definitely smaller, but it’s still adorable nonetheless. Located in New People, it’s definitely a bit easier as far as parking goes than at Ghiradelli. We had the Tea for Two and we picked Alice Drink Me & Marie Antoinette. I definitely loved the Marie Antoinette more than the Alice Drink Me Tea. There were 3 different kinds of tea sandwiches (egg, roast beef, & chicken), blueberry scones, crumpets, and assortments of desserts. All were yummy.
My only gripe is since the door is left open, you can smell when someone is smoking outside & sometimes buggies fly in. But I definitely enjoyed my sweet tea time with my bestie at this lovely cute place. :)

I was invited to this place for a birthday afternoon tea. I have walked by it on several occasions and have always wanted to stop in. It is located in the lobby of a small mall which is kind of weird, you don’t have any privacy. However, the set up is adorable and quirky at the same time. We had 3 pots of tea at $ 7 dollars each. We had Earl Grey which is my all time favorite. Paris which was OK and Alice’s Drink Me which I did not like. Now the fact that I was not a fan of the latter two is not a reflection of the business. My other tea drinkers loved the other two.
We also had the Sweets and Treats plate and it was not enough for us and a second order still did not do it. Each plate had 4 tiny little treats. Albeit they were small in size but the taste was delicious.
We also ordered two macaroons for each girl. The girls absolutely loved them,
They have a very cute décor as well. Beautiful table clothes, large tea pots, cute little sugar bowls and real roses in tiny little creamers. There is a curious but creative clock on the wall. It says time for tea under it. There is a different tea cup for each hour of the day.
I would definitely return.

Pricey, but worth it for an occasional treat.
Today me and 3 other girl friends came in to celebrate a birthday. For a Sunday morning, it wasn’t very crowded and we were served quickly.
We ordered:
–peach tea
–earl gray tea
–2 three layered platters
(bottom layer: 6 half sandwiches, 2 egg quiches, 2 mini sausage rolls, salad/​middle layer: scones with assorted spreads /​top layer: assorted desserts)
Overall, the four of us were full off of the two platters and even took some food to go. Service was amazing. Our waiter took lots of pictures for us and made sure we were taken care of. The bill turned out to be a little over $ 100 hence the 4 stars.

I’ve always wanted to have tea and me and by SO’s sister couldn’t think of where to have lunch and she mentioned tea in Japan town so we decided to give it a try. It’s in a weird location. Inside of a building, out in the open where many people walk in and out of the entire time you are dining. I would suggest getting a table more towards the inside wall to avoid people staring a your food.
We got the tea for one and a sandwich to share. Everything was so cute and presented in such a cute way. So much girlishness to the whole establishment. Although the food was cute, it wasn’t that great. I didn’t have any expectations but it was pretty disappointing. The finger sandwiches didn’t have much flavor. I did enjoy the crumpet with their lemon curd. For the sandwich we got the chicken pesto panini and that was decent, probably because we were so hungry.
Service was very slow but friendly. Overall, I probably will pass the next time someone cares to go to tea.
