About
Aperitivo with Friends
Our Story
Lovejoy's first opened at the corner of Church and 24th Streets in the early 1990s, moving to its current location in 2000. Originally an antique shop that served a good cup of tea, customers soon became more interested in the tea and scones than the antiques — and so the tea room was born. The name was inspired by Jonathan Gash's series of novels about an antique dealer named Lovejoy.
