UTL does more than tea parties. Hello! We do all parties baby. OK? Host your PROM dinner, reception, party, or other event at The Urban Tea Loft. We will rent out the entire Loft for your event. We will even do wedding receptions for guests of 75 or less. The first two rental hours are free provided food and beverage is purchased. If you are planning a dinner party..why have it at home? We can prepare whatever you’d like. I love it when 4-5 couples get together in one of our private rooms. Our rooms have flat screen tvs and IPOD docks so you can even bring your own music. And…we do all the clean-up. What could be better? Currently booking into May. Call to book your party today.

Ok, I know our dessert case is misleading as it is the first thing people see when they come into our restaurant or drive by. It is truly a beacon of light that calls the most discerning patron to come in and take a look. For this we are grateful. We realize they are appealing and appetizing. We’d just like to remind everyone that we are an Award-Winning, full service restaurant and bar. We serve breakfast on the weekends (open at 10 am), lunch, and dinner. Try us out for breakfast and dinner to see what you are missing.
Just posted some photos of foods from our lunch menu under the image gallery area on our website. I am no pro with websites so I need to get my web guy to post these correctly. We are excited that we are adding new items to our menu all the time. Our Executive Chef, Don Santos is doing a fantastic job bringing the flava. We got him from the Flemings/Roy Family. Our kitchen crew is fantastic. They include Don Santos, Tom LaVoie, and Angel Ortiz as the main players. Dinner photos coming soon. Look for coupons in the AZ Republic and the SanTan Sun News.

We are so excited. We hired Channelle Richardson to come and take photos of our foods so we can get them posted on line. Our new menu is fantastic and the response has been great! We have an Urban Cheesesteak that is served with peppers and onions and a chicken sandwich with goat cheese that is so flavorful. Those following us on Twitter received special offers and free teatinis this week. So its a great idea to get on Twitter and follow UTL.
We are proparing to get ourt new teas in. So far we have gotten in the following Rooibos Teas that are new:
African Ginger, Madagascar Vanilla, Rooibos Chai, & Natural Rooibos
We also have a coconut poochong tea and are very excited about our tea champagne coming in. It is fermented like a fine wine and taste like a white jasmine champagne. Wonderful. We hope it is in for our Saturday tasting!!
On the menu for Soul Food this weekend, smothered pork chops, macaroni and cheese, collard greens, catfish, ribs and fried okra. Good eatin’. See you at The Loft!

IT’S HARD TO SAY GOODBYE………
We learned this week that Art on Boston will close at the end of next month as they are not getting the level of local support to stay open. They have local art, jewelry as well as other unique items that are wonderful as gifts. They also have great art classes. They have been wonderful neighbors and great supporters and we hate to see them go. Please help keep our Downtown viable by patronizing our independent businesses. It is important and all that matters!!
LIVE MUSIC THIS WEEKEND AND WE HOPE TO SEE YOU SOON!!
Sincerely,
Eric, Glynis & Zhayer Legrand

I want to take a moment to Thank All of You who continually support The Urban Tea Loft. Those of you who came to celebrate the Presidential Inauguration and our Special Pre-Valentine and Valentine’s events deserve extra thanks. Although the times are challenging for all of us, together we will make it through. Hang in there!!
Yesterday we did an etiquette class for a group of 9 Girl Scouts. They were delightful and very smart. You could tell that their parents and troop leaders are doing a great job with these young ladies. I appreciate their enthusiasm for learning the proper fork, knife and spoon to use with different foods and the proper way to behave in restaurants. It was fun.
We started twittering this week at twitter.com. Go in and create your profile ..we are offering special deals to twitterers so start twittering!! Look up The Urban Tea Loft and get on board to some great deals. You can even be updated on what we are doing on your cell phone. You may want to get on this, There is a dinner special deal out there now. It may be well worth setting up your profile and following The Urban Tea Loft.

TEAse Me, Yelp!
February 17 |
| This Weekly Yelp brought to you by |
|
Yelp is full of hotteas!
|
The ladies of the Red Hat Society have the right idea drinking so much tea… there are plenty of healthy benefits to adding tea to our diets in our tender years. And while C.S. “Chronicle This” Lewis felt that tea should be taken in solitude, we’re much more the tea party type.
Tea lover Jason M heads to Scottsdale’s Mandala Tea Room for their soothing herbal elixirs and teas amidst a serenely modern setting. If you find yourself in Tempe, Tea Infusion gives you plenty to steep into, proclaims Kym C: “They have enough varieties of tea that I could come here 70 more times and never duplicate.” Prissy C swears that Urban Tea Loft in Chandler can compete with any chic Downtown tea shop: “You can brew it, buy it, sample it or have it loaded! That’s right… you can get Tea-Tinis! Like a martini, but one of the mix-ins will be a flavored tea.” Gives a whole new meaning to ‘teatotaler,’ now doesn’t it?
If you haven’t yet experienced bubble tea, Mark J exclaims, “you are in for a treat/adventure, or a treatventure.” Authentic Lollicup serves “boba” tea and other assorted Asian drinks, as well as a quirky (steamed pork bun, anyone?) assortment of food. Equally bubbly, Helen Y advises “Boba Tea House is a great intro. The black chewy tapioca balls sucked through an extra large straw are oddly addictive.” Her fave is “the green jasmine honey milk tea with boba… take that Starbucks!”
For you homebody types, check out Solo Cafe – it “feels more like someone’s study than a retail space,” declares Lesley C. Complete with a record and DVD collection, nice lighting, plenty of seating, power outlets, and free Internet, reasonably-priced caffeinated beverages are just the sweetener. And finally, if you’re looking for a for an authentic British tea party, follow Natalie D’s lead to The Phoenician, where “afternoon tea is served daily in the Tea Court and includes finger sandwiches, scones with Devonshire cream and preserves, pastries, a selection of fine teas, and classical music.” Hmm, wonder if they play Darjeeling Clementine? |
