Time to Enjoy Holiday Teas, Christmas Ales and More
Holiday Tea Time at The Ritz-Carlton SF
If you need a respite from all that holiday shopping, head to the swank Ritz-Carlton San Francisco for some soothing tea.
Take a load off at the 3 p.m. afternoon tea in the lounge, available daily through Dec. 24.
You’ll enjoy a pot of tea, savory finger sandwiches, scones, macarons and other sweets while live music entertains.
Price is $65 per person.
The little ones are sure to love the Teddy Bear Tea, available 10 a.m. and 1 p.m. Dec. 14-15 and Dec. 20-24.
Children can bring their favorite stuffed animal to the Terrace Room to meet Stretchy the Elf, Holly Berry and the giant Ritz-Carlton Teddy Bear. They’ll also get to partake in holiday story-telling, sing-a-longs and a photo session with the Ritz-Carlton Teddy Bear. Holiday treats will be served, too.
Price is $110 per person. A portion of proceeds benefits the Make-A-Wish Greater Bay Area foundation.
For reservations to either tea event, call (415) 773-6168.

The event starts at 5 p.m. each of those nights. For $25, you get a commemorative Kerstbier glass plus four beer tokens.
San Francisco’s Roka Akor Makes Lunch On The Go A Breeze
Roka Akor, located in San Francisco’s Jackson Square neighborhood, just launched its grab-n-go Brown Bag Lunch option, offered Monday through Friday, noon to 2:30 p.m. or until they run out.
Each three-course lunch is $15. Selections change daily but include a savory sushi roll, salad and home-made dessert — all packaged to take along with you.
Wow, they brought back the tea service at the Ritz? 🙂
Yayyyyyy!
All tasty looking treats!
Lotta good stuff going on. Sometime we need to visit San Francisco during December – even more to do (and eat!) than usual. Fun read – thanks.
