Welcome to Crown & Crumpet

  A stylish room with tea and wit, located in fabulous San Francisco and right across the bay in Ross, Marin County. Our delicious food and libations will transport you to a classic, traditional tea salon in England, but the stylish and vibrant décor tell you this is not a stuffy, Victorian “ye olde tea shoppe.” Built on the love and consumption of many cups of tea the world over, owners Amy and Christopher Dean invite you to join them at Crown & Crumpet, a spirited, delicious, and sometimes cheeky, place, serving the world’s most popular drink … second only to water. We implore you to take a seat, relax and dive into the witty world that is Crown & Crumpet!

San Francisco Crown & Crumpet is Now Closed

We are so sorry to say that after twelve years in our little spot in the New People Building in Japantown we have had to close our doors. We all know that change is always occurring in San Francisco and we must move and pivot to keep up. We realized that in this last year its been pretty tough in lots of different ways and that having our other location in Ross, Marin County has been terrific so we have decide to concentrate on the expansion of that location.

We sincerely thank all our devoted guests who have supported us over the last sixteen years here in San Francisco, first in Ghiradelli Square and then here in Japantown. Lots of you lovely folks have ventured to Ross and given us a try and are loving it as its a beautiful spot with a large garden, a retail shop, expanded indoor dining and a delightful drinks menu with a plethora of delish champagne cocktails. We also have amazing coffee and morning pastries available and in  a few weeks we will be open on Mondays so Afternoon Tea will be available seven days a week again!

We will be hosting a fabulous Estate Sale on the mezzanine of the The New People Building throughout the month of October and into the beginning of November. We will have a delightful array of antiques, props, smalls  etc..from the world of Crown & Crumpet and from our retail and antique businesses. This is no ordinary Estate Sale ! We have super cool things at very reasonable prices so come on down starting Friday, October 11th! We will update information via Instagram and here and  in an email blast. If you are not our email list sign up below and get all the latest from your favourite Bay Area Tea Salon!

Once again, our many thanks to all of you Crumpeteers for your love and support, we could not have lasted this long with out you! But.. please remember, we are still here and having a great time creating amazing British Afternoon Tea experiences, catering, parties and fun holiday extravaganzas for you so don’t forget about us!

In Tea We Trust!

Holiday Tea Time is Here!

We are so excited to be easing back into the Holidays here at Crown & Crumpet in Ross in beautiful Marin County! All our plans are in place, a new indoor dining space is up and running and looking so charming. The garden is tented and is decorated for the season so you and your family & friends will be transported to a bit of British Tea Time fun ready to celebrate Christmas, Hanukah, Kwanzaa or even the Winter Solstice!

Our Afternoon Tea service  begins Thursday December 5th and continues thru Monday December 30th. We will be serving a gorgeous and delicious elevated Holiday Tea service and a small selection of lunch options. Afternoon Tea is always more elevated starting with a Christmas Cracker, a fancy libation, a house made cup of warming soup, unique tea sandwiches, scones and crumpets and of course pretty sweets and treats. Our Nursery tea will be equally fabulous for children eleven years and younger.

Outdoor  & Indoor Dining in Ross!

Update! We know have a larger dining room in Ross which is particularly helpful as the winter commences.. it gets a little colder and a little wetter in the Ross Valley which is part of the cozy charm! So have no fear, not only do we have the garden tented and decorated, not to mentioned heated but we can slso sit you inside in our charmingly decorated dining room.

We are most fortunate to have a lovely little garden patio in Ross where you can make a reservation to dine in with us. We also have a park-let in the front that is perfect for a quick coffee and a snack.  As you can imagine, there are a lot of tea-loving folks, so booking a table for your visit is a must. We also have
limited dining indoors too! Exciting news to come in  is that in the spring as we are able to expand our garden to have more tables and space. Start by making a reservation here.
