We’ve been half heartedly searching for a coffee bar for the past year. We were in Phoenix for the weekend and went to a couple different furniture shops. When I googled urban fraiche and saw consistent 5 stars my interest was piqued.
When we walked up the front walk and through the front door I thought we may be in the wrong type of store. But as we venture through all the different rooms I saw many different furniture pieces that were amazing.
At the rear of the store we found it. The coffee bar that could potentially be the one. The only draw back, was the color scheme. It was definitely not our style.
The owner, Dean introduced himself and confirmed he could refinish the piece however we wanted. After discussing an appearance we were after, Dean agreed to have the piece refinished and delivered within the next two days!
Dean kept us informed with text messages and photos, which allowed us to make minor tweaks during the refinished process. The piece was delivered on time, as promised and is now the focal point in our dining room.
During the sale process, Dean went out of his way to have a great conversation with us about his past work experiences, which has transformed him into the charismatic and customer focused person he is today!
Thank you Dean for such a wonderful experience with your shop....

Walking in, I was greeted by an eclectic mix of furnishings, plants, art, etc. As I wandered around exploring this and that, I smelled something delicious coming out of the kitchen. Curious, I peeped in and was immediately greeted by Dean who invited me into the kitchen to watch his culinary magic. What was on the menu today?? Butter Chicken which was outstanding and free for the community as they work to get the permits to officially become a cafe.
My stop by turned into over 2 hours of story telling, wellness coaching, culinary delight and more…not only with Dean but also others who stopped by on a whim like I did.
There is so much to the Urban Fraiche concept that you will have to come to experience it for yourself. Dean (and Heba) will take good care of you and don’t be surprised if you meet a stranger that...
