Tal-y-tara Tea Polo Shoppe

Afternoon tea and equestrian paraphernalia...a fun and unusual combination. The host was very pleasant (I believe he is the owners' son) We sat next to the the owners who had stopped in for tea and had a chat about polo and the shop.The motorloaf sandwiches were delicious. I love the homemade brown bread with a hint of molasses flavor. It is a small loaf of bread, the inside of which is cut into enough slices for 6 sandwiches. My friend didn't like egg, so they let us substitute a second salmon sandwich. So that we could have the maximum taste treat, we cut each sandwich (other than the salmon) in half. The salad was fresh and the scone was delicious. All in all, it was a very pleasant afternoon.

Driving up the street you would never realize that there's this quaint, lovely place where you walk into a wonderland of horse world. And tea! You could almost smell the horses. How I wished I was a horse person, would have bought half the stuff...

I come from Canada where we have a strong British influence especially in Victoria. So I usually associate Afternoon Tea with one of the posher hotels in Vancouver/Victoria (Fairmont hotels). This is a refreshing change this unassuming little shop is in the middle of...

Excellent unique atmosphere family run interesting dialogue about the city of SF they are family founders. Wonderful homemade scones and tea sandwiches along with a great variety of teas. Outdoor bistro in the summer months. carole kealy

Lovely little place and homey. It can be a bit pricey so be prepared.
