A very pretty one! Could you take some close up views of the leaves and stems?

Bucida spinosa, or may also be Terminalia mantaly, both are wild guess base on branching habit from the distance

Is this plant in San Francisco or did you find it on the internet?

yes I don't have any close up photos because I did find it on the internet and thought it was a very lovely tree. I'm really just looking for wild guesses. I'd be happy with a tree that was similar enough.

Plant ID app identifies it as a Fukien tea tree, which has tiny, shiny leaves and showy white flowers.
It grows to a height of 8-12 feet.

Zylvert has it right I think.
We see these in the SF Bay area occasionally in high-end retail and office settings. They are quite pricey.
