Sorry I have been absent, but I finished up my summer school class this week, so hopefully my posts will be a little more frequent! I'll start with the next installment of my San Francisco trip. Friday afternoon after my last conference session, I hopped on a street car and headed to Ghiradelli Square.
I had really been looking forward to this part of my trip because of a delightful little tea shop called the Crown and Crumpet!
I enjoyed my afternoon tea alfresco!
Isn't the china darling? The menu is to the right. I indulged in Crownberry tea and it was so yummy!
The entire tea set complete with tea pot and sugar bowl! :)
My favorite part is the quote on the saucer.
I'm afraid the photo is a bit blurry here, but it reads, "Bread and water can so easily be toast and tea." Isn't that darling? What a cute quote for a kitchen!
Such a fun surprise when you lift your cup to take a sip of tea!
What a feast! The sandwiches were divine. They offered such an assortment and I enjoyed getting to sample the different kinds. I'm afraid I still dream about the scones. They are on the second plate along with a crumpet, which I believe must be a close relative to the English muffin. One scone had currants and the other one was plain. Both absolutely melted in my mouth! The third plate had a delightful variety of desserts. They were all delicious, too!
To accompany my scones and crumpet, I was afforded a lovely tray which included such delights as jam, creme fraiche, butter, and lemon curd. Oh my heavens, how decadent! :)
Oh, and bless my heart, here was my view!
Even the birds couldn't resist!
I had such a wonderful time at the Crown and Crumpet. I can't wait to return.
It will definitely be a must on any future trips to San Francisco! :)
