    Peach white tea
    Anna B.

    SO CUTE! Definitely sit on the patio - the warm tea is perfect for a cool day! Beautiful views of Golden. Service was so friendly and helpful with recommendations when I asked. The gluten free scones were sooo good and came with lemon curd, jam, and an English cream. Don't skip these! Cucumber cream cheese tea sandwiches fit the vibe perfectly, though I wasn't a huge fan of the cucumber vinaigrette. Hugo spritz was perfection, and the peach white tea was delicious!

    What a fun place to wrap up my birthday weekend celebration. Babe's Tea Room is a small, cozy, comfortable and bright tea room with an excellent, friendly staff. My daughter had booked the full afternoon tea experience. There were 4 of us, including the 2 Littles, and our main server, Caleb, made recommendations with no caffeine for the kids and brought us 3 separate towers of goodies. He brought the Littles specially sized princess tea cups. Everything tasted fresh and delicious and Caleb made sure to explain each item. We probably tried 8 different teas and he told us how to use the timer on the table to steep each one perfectly. Each tower of goodies had 3 levels with sandwiches, scones and desserts. I hadn't heard of a carrot cake scone before but it turned out to be a favorite - with lemon curd. The cushioned bench with pillows was so comfortable that I didn't want to leave but since they were full the whole time we were there, and it had been almost 2 hours, I knew they needed the table. They sell a huge variety of loose tea as well as bakery items. Its a great place for a special occasion and I look forward to going back.

    fun morning date for Valentine's Day or with friends/kids. I've been about 3 times and the tea is great and the sandwiches are always delicious. I will say the service varies each time I've been. Particularly when they choose to explain how the tea service should work, which is really a part of the experience for newbies. It's also a tad loud.

    I had the most wonderful holiday tea at Babe's Tea Room in Denver! The moment I walked in, I was greeted with a beautifully decorated, festive atmosphere--sparkling lights, elegant florals, and a cozy winter charm that made the whole place feel magical. The afternoon tea set was absolutely lovely. Each tier offered something delicious--from soft, flavorful sandwiches to freshly baked scones and an assortment of delicate sweets. The teas were fragrant and comforting, perfect for a chilly day. The staff were warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. It felt like the perfect way to celebrate the season. If you're looking for a charming, festive, and delicious holiday outing, Babe's Tea Room is definitely worth a visit. I can't wait to go back!

    Safa is the sweetest and the kindest person to have serve you. She really makes you feel like you are her friend even though she met you two seconds ago. The overall experience was absolutely lovely from the beautiful decor and the wonderful food and tea. I would definitely recommend Babe's Tea Room for any special occasion or just a fun experience.

    Lemon bar

    What a cute little bakery!!! LoHi area. I definitely want to come back for tea service! Great staff and cute ambiance. The lemon bar was delicious and we tried the chocolate vegan cheesecake. The macrons look delightful.

    Turkey Brie sandwich with arugula salad

    Was in the area, saw the beautiful entrance way so decided to stop in. They were fairly empty for a Thursday morning. Got the seasonal matcha latte which was lavender peach and ube. It was delicious! Also got the turkey Brie sandwich with arugula side salad which was good. my friend got a seasonal scone. The lemon curd served with the scone was delicious as well as the cream/butter. The server was friendly and we enjoyed ourselves.

    This was my first time at a tea house and what a fun time. The inside is very crowded and rather loud so we opted to sit outside. It was great at first, but then it got chilly (they have blankets), the wind picked up and dust was flying around since its technically in the street so be aware of that and the weather that day/ We did the 90-minute experience on a Sunday around noon. Mads was our server, and they were great! We were able to try 6 teas and also bought a bottle of prosecco. The tea sandwiches were not my thing minus the turkey. But my friend really enjoyed the cucumber one. The chicken curry salad was a very unique taste. The best bite was the scones! I loved both of them but the plain with some jam was to die for. Delicious. It was $48 to start and then we added a few things, so it ended up being around 70 per person which I thought was fair. Lots of great picture moments here. I would be happy to come back on a less busy day and try to eat inside. Overall, 4/5 stars!

    Ballerina tea
    Michelle K.

    My friends and I went for an afternoon tea and were overwhelmed by the various tea options in the menu; they all sounded good! The staff immediately greeted us and was very friendly and knowledgeable. We ordered the ballerina white tea, strawberry tea, and blueberry tea (not pictured). The teas were delicious! With an addition we got various of treats such as tea sandwiches and desserts. It was delicious and very filling! We did the $60 afternoon tea and it came with various pots of tea of our choices and delicious desserts and sandwiches. Definitely would recommend this place for a get together with good friends or any occasion!

    Made my usual stop at Babe's Tea Room for high tea. Delight and beautiful as usual, though a few things were forgotten for our table (jams, lemon curd, Devonshire cream and tongs for our sugar) the staff were very helpful in remedying that. I made my way home with a cute little to-go box and loose tea afterward. Great for catching up and taking photos. Visit Babe's!

    I brought my teen daughters to the Denver location for a mother/daughter date. Their Valentine's menu that was $60 a person for the afternoon tea experience which tours unlimited tea samplings. It was NOT worth it. You have a timed reservation and service was slow so, we felt rushed. They only allow you two pots at a time and it took a long time for the server to come back and check on us so we were rushing to get in a few more pots of tea at the end. So, for nearly $200 - we only got 5 tea samples and a small tray of sandwiches and cookies. Not sure what kind of "experience" this was supposed to be but, it was not even close to worth the price.

    Mango black tea

    Such a wonderful experience! Went here with a friend visiting from out of town and we loved it. They explain everything and give you time to make your selection. There are so many tea options to choose from. The ambiance was spot on and plenty of photo ops!

    Excellent afternoon tea with the girls! I brought my mom and daughter here Sunday afternoon for a little ladies celebration. I am glad I had a reservation because it was pretty crowded and I am not sure we'd been able to sit without it. It's a complete Instagram dream at Babe's Tea Room. We were sat inside but given the change, we would have loved to be sat outside amongst the beautiful flower decor. We ordered the strawberry tea and a lavender tea. The strawberry tea was very delicious and the lavender one was just ok, honestly, it didn't taste like much. The food was incredible. We loved ALL of the sandwiches especially the curry chicken salad and the cucumber sandwiches. The chef was kind enough to bring a sunbutter and jelly sandwich for my 4 year old. The food was bountiful and we had to take several of the sweets and biscuits home. My daughet devoured all of the macaroons - they must have been tasty. I hope to return to Babe's soon - we had such a lovely time!

For the price, the quality here is genuinely good, and I really appreciate that they have a sampler table set up. I previously bought the pu-erh sampler box, but I struggled to figure out which flavor was which because the website doesn't specify which wrapping color corresponds to each flavor, and there weren't any instructions inside the package. I am sharing a photo of the breakdown here so other people won't have to guess. As for the shop itself, checkout was fast, and there were two helpful employees working up front if I needed any assistance. I didn't get any brewed tea to go this time, but the setup is definitely geared toward a quick grab-and-go experience if you are ordering a fresh drink. Since the shop is located right inside a shopping plaza, finding a place to sit nearby is incredibly easy.

I ordered an iced London fog and opted for coconut milk, which is not typically available as a milk alternative. It came with vanilla syrup by default and was very good. I also tried the bacon, egg, and cheese breakfast sandwich on an English muffin. This was the only disappointing part of my visit. It seemed like a premade sandwich that had been reheated, so the bacon was soft rather than crispy, which is my preference.

They were not malicious. They simply performed the transactional ritual of caffeinating a stranger with the exact emotional investment of a parking meter. The beverage itself was perfectly adequate. Bad coffee inspires anger. This coffee merely inspired a quiet acceptance of my own mortality. It was average in that completely forgettable way that makes you wonder why you parted with currency for a specialty drink in the first place. If you need a nice chair to sit in while the world falls apart, you will find it here. If you are looking for a memorable cup or a warm human interaction, you will probably leave remembering the furniture.

It's a longer "narrower" restaurant that spans the counter where you walk past to build your poke bowl. Neat that they have like a loft seating like area next to the window with pillows. A couple tables and chairs here and there and an interesting small stair area. There were people hanging out and studying when I visited. There's something charming about this place. Reminds me of what SoCal was like before the giga overseas boba franchise take over and everything becoming minimalist concrete, bamboo wood, warm light (if you know you know). I love the little cute faces for the sealed lids. It's nostalgic of a lot of the mom and pop tea places we'd go to after high school. The Tiger's Blood Boba milk tea was an interesting mix of pineapple and rose sencha milk tea and the other was a honey flavored Hokkaido milk tea. You can do lots of customization and added toppings, but if you order online you can't really adjust the sugar unfortunately and the drinks do run a bit sweeter than what I normally would have liked. You can either build your own poke bowls or pick from the signature pre-builds. It's a heaping helping of a meal and it's definitely more than enough for a hungry adult. You can easily share a medium bowl as well. It is a bit pricier than what I'm used to for poke bowls, but then again California isn't as land locked as Colorado. I think an issue I had was how mushy the rice was, but other than that the other ingredients were decently fresh. Overall not bad, probably pretty good for this area, but not my favorite from my Denver visit.

The location is in a historic building, so it's got a lot of visual interest, but it's also in the center of the sort of lobby area (not sure what to call it) and a bit tightly packed, so it also feels pretty exposed to whatever noises are going on, which isn't my favorite type of setting, but is certainly unique and would be enjoyable for those who don't mind. There was definitely a tour of the building that occurred during part of our tea, which brought some extra background noise, but not egregiously so. There was live piano for a time, as well, which was lovely, and the servers were quite nice. The tea service itself was good--my friend had called ahead and made the arrangements as she (being the local) was more familiar etc., and they were able to provide a vegan set for me and a gluten-free set for her (plus the normal set for her friend), and we all enjoyed the snacks. No idea if they are able to accommodate both vegan and gluten-free, but they might. Nothing was a standout to me, but I also liked everything on my tier well enough, which is itself an accomplishment. The tea was good as well, but as is typical in afternoon tea places, most of the variety comes from flavored teas, so if you prefer unflavored, your choices will be more limited (but there are still a handful to choose from). Overall, a really nice afternoon tea experience (if a bit on the expensive side), just be aware that if you have any dietary restrictions, arranging ahead by at least a day seems to be a must.

As a guy that never had afternoon tea, you definitely want to dress up. Atmosphere wise it's 90% women with maybe 10% families. I would absolutely recommend it if you have 4-Year-Olds and up. I got the signature experience which was $95 that includes 1T selection, a set of scones, finger sandwiches, and then desserts, and it also has an included menu. That's a little more robust. In hindsight, I probably would have stuck with just the classic. The signature was great but the classic is so filling. It's kind of Overkill. For the classic they even offered extra sandwiches. I noticed most other tables seem to enjoy their tea and the scones and maybe one set of sandwiches and then took the second set of sandwiches and desserts to go. I think I would have taken that route the next time. If you've never gone to afternoon tea, I'd recommend watching a short YouTube on proper etiquette, there is some pretty interesting information on the difference between high tea, low tea, and if you're supposed to be using a knife on your scone or breaking it with your fingers spoiler alert, you are supposed to break it. During the holidays the decorations are fantastic and perfect photo backdrop. Ultimately a really good experience and I'm looking forward to going again

The concept sounded perfect: a traditional three-tiered tray of finger sandwiches and sweets, a plated item like quiche, and bottomless tea over a three-hour reservation. To start with the positives, the staff were kind and polite, and the owner was accommodating when our group size increased closer to the date. The tea was good, and I appreciated that the teapots were kept warm with tea lights. The space itself is charming, and we genuinely enjoyed having time to sit and catch up. The food was delicious, they are amazing cooks. The biggest issue was the timing of the food. In every afternoon tea I have attended, the three-tiered tray is brought out shortly after being seated so guests can graze while enjoying tea. A plated item may follow later, but there is always something to snack on early in the experience. Here, we went almost two full hours without any food at all. The quiches arrived around the two-hour mark, and the three-tiered tray, which is the centerpiece of afternoon tea, did not arrive until about fifteen minutes before our three-hour reservation ended. No one was rushing us out, and we did enjoy being together, but waiting an hour and a half to two hours for any food simply is not reasonable. We were genuinely hungry for the first half of the visit and then suddenly had a large amount of food placed in front of us near the end. Instead of grazing leisurely, we were left trying to eat everything in a short window of time. With a reservation made weeks in advance and only one other small table present, it was surprising that nothing was delivered within the first hour. Even reversing the order and bringing out the tiered tray first would have completely changed the experience. We also received only one three-tiered tray for six people at a price comparable to other Denver tea houses where each guest receives their own. When we asked for boxes to take the remaining items home, we were told they only had paper sleeves. Afternoon tea items are delicate by design, and paper slips are not suitable for transporting layered finger foods without crushing them. Given that the tray was delivered minutes before the reservation ended, proper takeaway containers should have been available. Tea service was steady for much of the visit, but toward the end all three teapots sat empty for about ten to fifteen minutes, and I had to go upstairs to request a refill. This was secondary to the food timing, but it added to the overall sense that pacing and oversight were lacking. I truly wanted this to be a special afternoon, and I appreciate the kindness of the staff and the availability of vegan options. However, afternoon tea should feel thoughtfully paced, with food arriving early enough for guests to graze comfortably. Waiting nearly two hours for any food and then receiving the full tiered tray minutes before the reservation ended does not align with what high tea is meant to be.

    Stopped in here after dining at Buckhorn exchange down the road. It's a great spot with awesome…read moremusic and great ambiance. The staff were attentive and they had a nice selection of drinks including sake and cocktails.

    This place is not for everyone and that is honestly part of the appeal…read more I came alone and was seated right away, most likely because it is a small space. The hostess or employee sat me down, and I took a seat at the bar. I was immediately given water and a menu, which felt easy and welcoming. This is not a "background music while you catch up" kind of bar. The music is the experience, inspired by Japanese listening bars. The sound is intentional, the vinyl selections feel curated, and the space encourages you to slow down and be present. Located in the Arts District of the Santa Fe neighborhood, ESP HiFi is walk in only, so arriving early is a good idea since it fills up quickly. The menu includes seasonal cocktails, highballs, natural wine, warm drinks, non alcoholic options, and small bites, with tastings focused on Japanese whiskey and mezcal. I had a walnut mezcal based cocktail, and ordered olives and Marcona almonds as a snack, all of which fit the vibe perfectly. They also offer a daily happy hour or "social hour" from 4 to 5pm. It was also fun watching the mixologist seamlessly switch between making drinks and DJing, which added to the experience. Yes, it is dark inside, but that is part of the atmosphere. The staff is not overly talkative, but the music is the whole point here, and that focus feels intentional. It is a popular spot and definitely gives hipster energy, but in a self aware, well executed way. If you are expecting a loud, social cocktail lounge, this is not it. If you appreciate good sound and a focused atmosphere, you will enjoy it. Not trying to please everyone. Just doing its thing and doing it well.

    Have tried many places near DPAC but have not been to Corinne. So happy it was an easy walk about 3…read moreblocks away even with the summer heat. We made our reservation for 5:30PM and showed up at 5:05... glad they were able to seat us at 5:20 even though the restaurant was not busy and had many open tables. Maybe they were staggering for kitchen staff reasons. Marcos was very attentive and made tremendous amount of amazing recommendations. All of us decided to order the short rib from the prix fix menu and we all ordered some sides. We got the French onion soup, the bread pudding and the key lime pie. Also shared some mushrooms, asparagus and creamed spinach. The short ribs was very tender, the key lime pie was perfectly tart and sweet, the bread pudding is a little bit on the harder side as it came in a cast iron dish like a cookie... but the flavor was amazing and tasty w the vanilla ice cream. All in all we had a great time with our girls date after we saw a musical and really helped us wrapped up the day so sweetly. Thanks Marcos and team!

    I was excited to take my friends here who were visiting from out of town. It had great reviews and…read moresaid it was child friendly which was a must as a single parent. We arrived and the hostess took 10 minutes to even acknowledge we were there then said she needed more time to clean off some tables which she did very slowly. She then said she would seat the 4 of us at a 2 top with a high chair. She told us to wait until the table was ready. They set the table and brought over a high chair and then suddenly took the high chair away. In true "see you next Tuesday form" the hostess did not say anything to us and instead sat another couple who had just walked into the restaurant. They still said nothing to us until I walked over to the host stand and then blurted out that the couple they sat had been waiting before us for 50 minutes but got "lost in the system". Mind you, the couple had not been in there at all when we got there and we were told we would have the table. I am sure that we were profiled because we had a toddler with us and they decided to seat others in our place that they had set up for us. Not only that, but nobody ever came to talk to us and inform us about what happened. And then to top it off they told us we could order to go and sit in the lobby of the Meridian. Their behavior and attitudes were absolutely atrocious and definitely discriminatory based on us trying to bring a child during happy hour (before dinner seating had even opened). 0/10 do not go here if you enjoy polite hosts and wait staff and are looking for a family friendly establishment. The hotel lobby bar was everything Corinne was not. The bartenders and servers were friendly, food was delicious, and service was fast. They saved our evening which Corinne had done everything to ruin.
