Ever since I heard about Crown and Crumpet in San Francisco, I knew I wanted to go. It’s the most adorable little tea room, decorated in a whimsy, quirky style, reminiscent of Alice In Wonderland. I’ve been obsessed with this place for over and year now, and yes, as the title of this post says, it is on my Life List.
Yesterday, Elizabeth and I embarked on an adventure to Renegade Craft Fair in San Francisco, which was awesome and completely inspired me to come home and make cute stuff before heading on to Ghiradelli Square to meet up with Kristin, Amber and Nicole for some tea and crumpets.
The tea shop was SO CUTE and we enjoyed tiny sandwiches, scones, crumpets, and an adorable little plate of sweets. It was a perfect afternoon of girl time and delicious little snacks.
Some photos:
It was a really great afternoon and definitely one of the most fun things I’ve ever done in San Francisco. While it’s been checked off my Life List, I’ll definitely be going back again as soon as possible.

Oh my gosh, that places looks adorable! What a divine way to spend an afternoon. I wish I had known about this when I was in San Francisco!

Oh how cute! In Munich there is a tea salon which is decorated very traditionally and they serve tea and scones. I am going to go there again when I’m back there, to belatedly celebrate my best friend’s birthday with her there (the birthday was in February but I haven’t been back home since then).

Yum! My mother send me crumpets for Christmas every year, and I gobble them up right away and start waiting for the next year.
