Dark wood, white walls and filled with natural light, Café Chloe was a perfect spot to share “Urban Tea” with my husband. French inspired, the owners gave much thought to the surroundings. The kitchen was delayed, so we were given complimentary Prosecco (and a refill) and enjoyed the ambiance. We selected ‘In Pursuit of Tea’ Darjeeling and Assam, served in Brown Betty pots with big white cups. The service was pleasant and the high-energy owner was engaging and excited to talk about tea. Savories began with absolutely delicious mushroom soup served in a demitasse with a tiny spoon. A three-tiered tray included various tea sandwiches and sweets. A small critique, the food was good, but repetitive: two different fish sandwiches, mushroom soup and mushroom tart, apple muffin and apple tart, two types of croissant. I’d return for the delicious tea, friendly service and lovely urban atmosphere.
