Tea Room by Ruky Mama — Restaurant in Wuse II

So we all know that since March the world literally switched to the upside down and a lot of things changed afterwards. I have been unable to go to any restaurants or go about my usual business. Now it’s October and the Covid-19 pandemic is still not over yet but things have eased up a bit. Tearoom wasn’t actually on my list of places to go after things eased up but somehow I woke up one morning and just felt like I wanted to go to tearoom .🤷‍♀️ @tearoomabuja has been one of the hottest spots in Abuja for a while now(especially for the pictures) but for some strange reason I never really felt like going but like I said earlier we have moved to the upside down and things have changed.😅 Here’s what I ordered and how it went! Coconut cream pie - NGN2,000 Chocolate cream pie - NGN2,000 Blueberry Muffin - NGN1,000 Cloudy lemonade - NGN1,500 Mint Lemonade - NGN1,500 • • • COCONUT CREAM PIE - the coconut cream pie tasted like coconut(obviously). It was nice but wasn’t really a banger for me. I wasn’t in love with it and I also didn’t hate it. What I liked about it was the coconut shavings in it but it wasn’t creamy enough and I wasn’t crazy about the crust also. All in all it was like a 5 tbh.

CHOCOLATE CREAM PIE - The chocolate cream pie was definitely a hit. It was very creamy and the crust oh my! 🤤😍 it had a delicious oreo crust which really blew me away. I don’t know if it’s because I love chocolate and my love for Oreo has no limit but it was definitely the best thing I tried on their menu.

BLUEBERRY MUFFIN - anytime I go to a new spot and there is a blueberry muffin or cheesecake you’ll always find me ordering it 😄. The blueberry muffin was nice(as usual you can never go wrong with a blueberry muffin). The only problem I had with it was the price, I felt it was kinda small for its price but then again everything is expensive now so I can’t really blame them. 🤷‍♀️

CLOUDY LEMONADE - I initially didn’t want to order this. I wanted the strawberry lemonade instead but it was unavailable so the waitress suggested I should have this. When she did I was like ‘cloudy lemonade’ hmmmmmm what flavor is that? What does it taste like?.......well I decided to find out and I hate to say it but I didn’t enjoy it. It was a very confusing drink, it tasted like lemonade but then I can’t really place the rest of the flavors & it was too sweet! I really didn’t like it but I loved the cute cup it came in though. .

MINT LEMONADE - This one I actually wanted because I’ve always been a lover of mint. I enjoyed the mint lemonade, it had very unique flavors infused into it which I loved. I had just 1 problem with it, it was also too sweet🤦🏽‍♀️ other than that, it was delicious!(I couldn’t get a good picture because I was in a hurry to meet up with a doctors appointment but it came in the exact same cup with the cloudy lemonade and the only difference was that the mint lemonade was green.

• LOCATION: No 7 Atakpame street, Wuse 2...

First time at the Tea room. It's in a building that has about 2 other cafe/pastry/cake shops. Really pretty and flowery. There's quite a bit of parking space outside of the compound so you can come with friends. I ordered the whimsical Chai Latte and the chocolate cream pie.

Whimsical Chai latte - the milk taste was prominent and then nothing else. There was little to no Chai taste if you know what I mean. I've had my fair share of Chai tea/Chai tea lattes and I could detect no similarities unless Chai latte is completely different.

Chocolate cream pie- basically a cheesecake, layer of whipped cream, followed by a chocolate mouse (can't spell lol), and then drum roll oreos. It was alright. Very rich.

Service was good, nothing extraordinary and no complaints.

Only problem is that either they didn't have a POS or it wasn't working so had to pay cash.

I'd go back again and try a bit more of the menu before I decide to write...

Peeked through the window as I had already had lunch at the sister establishment, Tulip Bistro, and it looked very picturesque with the floral arrangements. Definitely a hub for Instagram photo addicts as a photo shoot was going on when we arrived. If the service in Tulip Bistro was anything to go by, then this is definitely somewhere to try on...
