| - Last night was my first visit to The Urban Tea Loft, and I was glad that I went.
First of all, I have to tell you, I'm not a foo foo, girly, tea and crumpets type person. And, to top it off, I don't really like tea!! I prefer coffee with lots of cream and sugar so it tastes like syrup!
I have gone to a "tea party" at one of those foo foo tea places, and it wasn't for me. The cups were pretty, but I don't wear gloves and boas, and plus, those little cucumber sandwiches may be cute, but they leave me hungry! Hey I grew up on a farm where we ate meat and potatoes every day!
Anyway, The Urban Tea Loft is not like any tea establishment you have ever been to. It's more like a modern bistro or restaurant bar, similar to a Bamboo Club, or Ra or something like that. It's decorated modern and elegant and comfortable for both men and women to visit.
It is owned and run by a lovely couple. Glynnis has a miraculous story of which she so kindly shared with us. Her husband Eric isn't much of a server, or so he said, but he sure knows how to recommend chocolate cake! I almost foundered in it it was so rich and delicious, I couldn't eat the whole piece!
Some of our party had fondue, others had red pepper hummus, or salads, another had chicken pot pie. Every meal that came out was fresh, plentiful, and dare I say, healthy!? I had already eaten dinner but I tried the hummus and it was delightful! Just the right amount of flavor, fresh and creamy, served with pita triangles and fresh cucumbers! All of the food was beautifully presented too!
What I also liked about the Urban Tea Loft was that they have two private rooms. One is called the VIP room, luxurious, intimate, leather seating, warm, inviting colors, comfortable surrounds, great for a private party. Seated about 12 or so. The other room called the AV room, seated over 20, had a private bar, LCD TV which hooks up to your computer and a long conference table; a very private comfortable place for a business meeting, or family dinner.
Lastly, I have to talk about the tea. Since I'm not a tea drinker I was skeptical, because it all tastes the same to me. But I had a berry tea which was quite refreshing. Not too strong, but not too weak. And me being the sugar fanatic I am, I didn't even need to put sugar in because it was naturally sweet!
Anyway, what a treasure of a find in downtown Chandler! If you haven't gone there, you should!
Enjoy!
