Leland Tea Company
Price: $25 for tea service for two
Okay, so we consider Leland Tea the Cheers of the S.F. tea scene. Seriously, pop in here and it’s like the staff already knows your name — or at least seems to. Walk in with the sniffles and out with handfuls of helpful and healthy beverages. The attentive service and kind-hearted staff are just a few traits that make Leland Tea Company so special — along with its homey decor and welcoming atmosphere. So, holing up, sipping, and chowing here is like kicking it at a friend's place, only with unlimited amounts of tea and lots and lots of tasty nibbles.
Leland Tea Company, 1416 Bush Street (at Polk Street); 415-346-4832.
