The Spicery

We attended one of the monthly princess teas they offer. This is such a magical experience for little girls! My children love these events. The three course tea was wonderful and well curated to meet both a child’s palate and a separate offering for adults. Highly recommend attending at least once. The staff was beyond nice and attentive to all our needs. They do a different theme every month which keeps it exciting for return visits.

Cute home vibe. We had the Royal Tea. The scones and shortbread with Chantilly cream and lemon curd were delightful. The scone wasn't the dense crumbly type, more bread like, but very enjoyable. The only slip in our food taste experience, I felt, was serving a savory soup after a sweet course. My taste buds did not enjoy the jarring transition, so I didn't eat it, though my friend enjoyed it. It was chicken barley. The mixed baby green salad with candied pecans and strawberry with Raspberry vinegarette was a taste delight, but the greens needed to be torn, or a knife was needed, the lettuce was a bit unwieldy to get into your mouth without greens needing to be fork stuffed into your mouth. The mini sandwiches: egg salad, chicken salad, & quiche, were tasty but the salads needed more seasoning. The cucumber alfalfa sprout sandwich - the alfalfa was too grassy and the cucumber was too thick of a cut, again a knife was needed. Dessert was five bite-sized bar/cookie selections and a small cup of deliciousness; curd topped with strawberries, topped with whipped cream and crunchy sprinkles. We took the bites home, but the cup was clean. Overall I would do this experience again. While the antiquity vibe of the place was charming, the red plastic water glasses and cheap flatware detracted from the overall time-period tea experience. The decor, plates and serving vehicles felt more of the era. Fun experience!

Located in the historic district of Glendale with several quaint, cozy, and private tea rooms. The owner and hostesses were all so, so accommodating. Anything we inquired about or requested was granted. We were a group of 7 ladies and 1 child celebrating a birthday. We enjoyed the 3 course tea offering. The apricot tea was delicious and not too sweet. The lemon curd condiment and the strawberry parfait were some of my favorites. They will help you celebrate any occasion, and they have many unique themes for parties. Just go!

So sweet. We called and made reservations and they were able to get us in for lunch around 11:15. We were able to get street parking under a shady tree (very nice for Arizona) and walked up to the cutest little bungalow from 1895. Welcome signs, beautiful florals, and friendly staff greeted us at the front door. Our table was waiting for us next to a window with coffee cups as curtain tie backs. Loved the decor. The menu was simply perfect - we ordered a raspberry hibiscus tea that we shared, and they had delicious homemade dinner rolls to start. We ordered the quiche and a salad and ate every bit of it. Then we were shown the beautiful desert tray. Ahhh so amazing! We had the raspberry topped pound cake that is apparently a newer desert and it did not disappoint. Loved it!

The Spicery was absolutely lovely. We did the tea experience for my moms birthday and greatly enjoyed it. The old house, delicate tea cups, and doilies!! Made our time there feel like we were thrown back in history. Even my children enjoyed themselves. We will definitely be going again! Highly recommend!

Wonderful duchess tea. Everything was great especially the sandwiches, scone, clotted cream and pudding dessert. Lots to eat. Got the soup which was mushroom soup and very good. Had to take the multiple little desserts home because we were stuffed. Great choice of tea. Jasmine green tea was delicious. The house has multiple rooms each decorated with very pretty pictures and tea stuff. Service was paced very very well.
