I had an iced coffee with a splash of cream. I'm not sure what The Hubs got, but we both enjoyed our coffees. The barrista/bartender was very nice and the shop was clean. We made a mental note to stop here again the next time we're in this area.

STAR #1: Location is prime, parking is decent and the space itself is cool. Seating is both indoor and outdoor (via huge tent) and vibes are on point. Decked out in a steampunk theme, the space screams cool, interesting, and is a talking piece in itself. So fun! STAR #2: Inventory is insane, ample and so fun to seek out, smell and sample! Upon entry, is a welcoming shelf filled with different teas! We sniffed our way through, asking questions to the staff and they were so welcoming and friendly! STAR #3: The drink menu is fun - allowing for all kinds of hot and iced beverages and unique! My husband opted for a hot orange tea - with just the right amount of sweetness. I landed on an iced peach tea latte, with fresh peach puree and YUM! so refreshing and delicious! STAR #4: Prices are on point for the quality and quantity! Locally made items are for sale and definitely a fun way to shop local! I know we'll return!

10/10, what an amazing new tea shop in downtown Castle Rock!…read more First, I recommend trying something new. All the Teaology originals look fantastic, and several drinks can be made hot OR cold! They also sell loose leaf varieties, AND some locally roasted coffee beans! I tried the Oh, Canada (hot) and it was 10/10. Sweet but not TOO sweet, great blueberry flavor. I was worried it would be too sweet but it wasn't, it was wonderful. I also tried the ube cinnamon roll, which was enjoyed by my husband more than I, but still very good! My husband enjoyed the latte with oat milk, even more so than local coffee places in Castle Rock. The ambiance is great. Steam-punk vibes, cute and clean interior, and a perfect tented outdoor area. It will be absolutely perfect for sipping a warm tea on a fall day - I can't wait to return! The staff was also so kind. My friend and I didn't realize they closed at 3 - just an air head move on our part, and they were just really kind to us and I appreciated it. They are just absolute gems of people. Please give this new spot a try, we need to keep this local business alive! It's a perfect fit for downtown castle rock, and the manager (or owner, I'm not sure - he just looked like he was in charge!) is just a gem of a human.

You're lucky if you get a space in front of or near their front entrance. There is a parking lot located behind or adjacent to the Pizza Hut. The only drawback for me is the dining room is often filled with patrons and the noise level isn't favorable. Hence why I usually opt for a to go beverage and a pastry. They have great fresh baked pastries. Staff is always friendly. Sometimes their staff can learn to speak up and to speak with confidence. It doesn't take that to get my beverage and be on my way. I also like how this coffee shop is relatively close to I-25. So if you're traveling up or down 25, consider this place a pit stop. Also, I like their gift shop. It's setup near the register. So when you're waiting in line it gives you an opportunity to browse items, pickup a bag of coffee or other item before ordering. Looking forward to my next visit!

I needed a late night coffee shop as I waited for some friends from out of town and I stumbled upon…read morethis one. It was a little out of the way in terms of the normal hustle and bustle of Castle Rock as it's not near the outlets or Main Street, but I'm actually really glad that I did stop by because this space is so beautifully decorated and has such a welcoming feel that it made the drive worth it. Because I had been on the road for a while, I did have to use the restroom when I first arrived and I'm happy to say they were extremely clean and they had a changing table. They're definitely welcoming to littles as I did see a few kids under five so thank you for considering families. They have a very large menu that's contains coffee and coffee based beverages as well as some Italia sodas and some energy infused Red Bull drinks, smoothies and non coffee drinks. I asked the barista for a recommendation and she told me to try the maple bar, which was a white mocha with maple and I'm happy to say it is fantastic. I would order it again. They do offer sweets and savory treats. I just ended with a cake pop but would be interested in trying other items. The price of the coffee was about $13 including tip, my drink, and a cake pop. I think it's reasonable for the area and for what I received. They have a drive-through so if you are in a rush in the morning, it would be a very easy stop and they have a lot of seating space for people to work and converse. They also have these really cute swing chairs that I enjoyed. They have a rooftop bar and ample outside patio seating however it was really windy the day that I came so I stayed on the main floor. The only thing that would make the space better is if they had some sort of couch or relaxed seating. I was looking for something a little cozier than metal chairs I would recommend this place as a cute date, meet up spot, a place to hang with friends, or a place to work. I will definitely be back.
