Dartealing Lounge

The Best Afternoon Tea In SF - San Francisco - The Infatuation

"Going to Dartealing is an opportunity to see something rare in SF: frilly armchairs, floral wallpaper, and shelves of mismatched china. The SoMa lounge serves an afternoon tea prix fixe for $42 that includes a fantastic rotating lineup of finger sandwiches and petit fours, as well as a pot of tea with free refills. Just note that tea service is only available on weekends, and each reservation lasts 90 minutes. After that you'll have to gather yourself and re-enter the real world where the closest thing to a petit four is a rogue Tic Tac rolling around in the abandoned corners of your backpack. Dartealing’s tea service is offered only on weekends. Make a reservation request on their website. The 90-minute slots book up quickly, so it’s best to plan at least a week out and to be flexible on timing." - ricky rodriguez, julia chen 1, lani conway, patrick wong
