February 7, 2026Sunshine16756833218Very Loud Music. Not a Quiet Cozy spot to enjoy a high tea.
Very loud. The piano, guitar and drums in such a small place made it too loud to relax and enjoy our lunch. I took my daughter as she was visiting from out of town for my birthday for high tea. We were not able to hold a conversation and felt like we were screaming at each other to talk. The place has incorporated more of a pub vibe than when I was last there a few months ago. The band played Freak, and some songs from Journey. They were out of the teas we ordered, the food was still good and the servers friendly. Our server never asked if we wanted desert or anything else but left our bill at our table while we were still eating. I was hoping we could order something for a desert for my birthday, but we just paid and left. I enjoyed this place in the past because of the quiet, cozy atmosphere but things always change.

Our group of friends have a history with Lovejoy's and have loved it. It went under new ownership, and that often is not for the best....but alas, we love the new owner! She has expanded things and has brought a new flair to Lovejoy's!!! Great food and fun! We are looking forward to our next visit soon!!! Dian

Posh with Personality!
The food here is GOOD. It's authentic. It's delicious. You will feel welcomed and want to eat everything. Be prepared to take your time and enjoy, as the service is not speedy, but why rush a good thing? The (new) owner is a bit raucous but welcoming and you'll feel like her new best friend. Don't let anything stop you from trying this place once! Delicious sausage rolls and tasty baklava! Did I mention the scones with clotted cream (yum)?

Royal Tea, a excellent experience
Royal Tea was exceptional! We were fortunate to experience the Royal Tea with Milly as our server, and the food and service was lovely. Tess, the owner made everyone feel welcome, sent us with some treats and we cannot wait to return....a gem in Florence OR you should not miss!

August 22, 2025george wRude, Dismissive and Abrupt.
My wife and I stopped by on a Wednesday for lunch. No where online or at the establishment did it say reservations required. Plenty of empty seats outside so we stepped in. No hostess or server or sign. We stood there for a moment and a staff member whisked by and stopped abruptly. Asked us “what we wanted”. We said two for lunch. She asked if we had a reservation and we said no. She turned and walked away and said over her shoulder that they were full and not taking anymore customers. In a very rude and dismissive tone. Maybe some think I’ll manners delivered with an English accent charming. But when it is directed at my wife who loves all things English and had us drive an hour to have some tea it’s just boorish and rude. Been there years ago and thought the food dry and over priced but wanted to make her happy and tried again. There must be other places to get tea that doesn’t come with an order of pretentious dismissive behavior.
