It's a Friday!
Not only Friday but a very special Friday. I turned 30!
Can you believe all the amazing memories I have built.
I sat with no plans when my sister calls me to say," Hey what are we doing for your birthday?"
In silence I think about all the things I could do, but there is one moment that comes back to me.
Sitting with my mother in a beautiful house built in 1985, we have conversations. We talk about the art works that surrounds us. The fresh baked goods with a mix of hot cup of tea perfect combination. I told her lets go to The Spicery in Glendale. I call to make a reservation and to our luck, we got a table booked for 3 and 2 children.
I spent all day thinking about what I was going to order. I mean look at their menu, So many options

Let's Explain the History
Listed on the National Registry of Historic Places, the house was built in 1895 by Victory and Lilly Messenger. In 1936 Harold and Mae Brewster purchased the home. The Brewsters planted citrus and pecan trees. Mae planted the original roses and a victory garden. In 1987 the four Brewster boys sold their childhood home to Martha W. Campbell Who had moved in Glendale in 1936.
Founder of The Spicery
Martha Campbell founded The Spicery three decades ago, one of the first tearooms, Martha restored the historic Messenger-Brewster home to this beautiful restaurant where you hear the “clink” of China and silver. Martha retired and sold the tearoom to Matt Borowski.
Matt grew up in Glendale and went to Unit 1 Elementary School and Glendale High School. Matt worked alongside Martha for many years. Upon her retirement, Matt purchased The Spicery in 2010 and made wonderful improvements to the restaurant. Matt retired in 2022 and the restaurant was purchased by Bud and Lorraine Zomok alongside partners Sue Berntsen and Kenn Clark.
The new owners
Bud and Lorraine Zomok, along with their dear friend Sue Berntsen and Lorraine's Brother Kenn are honored to continue the long-standing traditions of The Spicery, Glendale's Original Tearoom. The team is excited to keep all the treasured memories and history alive of this special place in Historic Downtown Glendale. The Spicery reopened on October 6, 2022.
I got to meet Lorraine she is so wonderful and cares so much
This place is filled with memories my mother had a beautiful Christmas dinner with my father when I was younger, my mother brought me, Then I brought my daughter. Thats three generations!
