My friend made reservations for High Tea at TeaLee's tea house. This is not your typical, run of…read morethe mill, high tea. The atmosphere was amazingly calm and welcoming. The owner herself, Miss Risa was taking care of creating this unique culinary experience. The first service we chose a peach oolong. This was served with a green salad and broccoli quiche. Wonderful! I cannot tell you what the salad was dressed with, but the flavors!!!! The quiche was absolutely perfect from crust to cheesy top. Second service was Yellow submarine. This refreshing chamomile was infused with dried pineapple and mango. The first cup was good, but the second was delightful. The fruit had time to meld with the chamomile and created an epic infusion. The third service was a Moroccan mint. This was just as wonderful as you would expect. We were served an open face curry egg salad and a homemade fermented cucumber on a seasoned cream cheese. The flavors were wonderful. The sweet serving was a blueberry scone with Lemmon curd, apple cake and macrons. Service was top notch, the owner came over to chat with us. We even had a chance to spend time with one of the guides from the local Black History Museum. This was a delightful end to our amazing day! Thank you for the hospitality

What a cute tea house!…read more We accidentally stumbled across this place as we were heading north of downtown, looking for a place to satisfy our thirst from being in the summer sun, our throats parched from walking 16th mall and strolling in museums. As we came in we were greeted right away and sat at the table by the window where there sat many cool antique teapots. We were instantly wrapped by the coziness and ordered a pot of the Ginger Peach Rooibos. As we waited for the freshly craft to brew, we bopped and grooved to the beats of soulful R&B vibing the space. So chill, so peaceful, so relaxing. When we got our pot of tea, we got a little stand with a candle that kept the pot warm allowing us to take our time sipping on tea. We opt for honey with our tea which went really well with the ginger peach tea. It was so good, we ordered a cold version to go. Lovely place with lovely tea!

We were tagging along with him while in CO visiting, and since my husband and I both enjoy reading, we happily dove into browsing the aisles for ourselves too. Upon entering, we were readily approached by an employee who wanted to help us find what we might be looking for, guiding us to our respective areas. I was after queer nonfiction, which they didn't really have unfortunately, but they did have a whole queer fiction section, and I got one of the more promising looking books. My husband managed to find not one but three books for himself on the subject of various religions he's been wanting to study (one of his current hyperfixations). They also had CDs, DVDs, even a few VHSes (hooray for a resurgence of analog media, amirite?), puzzles/games, and trinkets/gifts. Beyond the helpfulness and friendliness of the employee, I liked what this place IS at its heart. Because all purchases help fund the local library's children's literacy program, and they also accept public donations. So basically, a WAY BETTER place to source books than say Barnes & Noble (or god forbid, Amazon *barfs*). Support independent bookstores like this one! I also liked their color-coded dot system. Everything here is on a big discount from MSRP, but depending on what color dot sticker is on it, the bigger the discount. So it adds a fun little element to your shopping experience of how much you're saving but also the feel-good of supporting a good cause at the same time. Win-win!

This is where I fell in love with books again…read more I put a first edition Charles Dickens "A CHRISTMAS CAROL AND OTHER STORIES" on layaway after I graduated from college. The chaos is its charm. You can't really find what you want, but end up finding something you never knew you could live without. The staff is eager to point you in the right direction and give you their in person two cents. I was shopping with kids, families, and students doing research. There is a book for every budget, from investment grade rare, signed, and first edition books to the paperbacks from new and obscure authors.

Although I wish they'd rename the outdated "women's interest" area to "fashion" or similar. The coffee shop has its pros and cons. I enjoy sitting down to peruse a magazine over a coffee. The coffee quality and service leaves a little to be desired though. I was excited, however, to finally see they offer a gluten friendly cookie - after all of these years! I was mystified as to why they have them smack bang in the middle of the display cabinet, right next to all of the gluten-containing bakery items. These need to be kept separate so there's no cross contamination.

From a former teacher's perspective there are also so many traditional teaching aids available from pre-school through high school.

When you walk in, it's full of gorgeous decor and plenty of plants, true to their namesake. There is a lot of places for people to come in and take photos, read, buy books, and enjoy the atmosphere. In the lobby, there is complementary sparkling waters, which I thought was really great as I took my time shifting through the different books. The selection was pretty good. There were a lot of books that were "hot" right now on social media, as well as ones that were hidden gems that you may not have heard of. The price was equal to what you'd pay at a big book store chairs (so why not support local!). They also have a selection of used books that are greatly discounted. The person that was working when I went in, was very kind and gave us some recommendations, and also talk to us about our day. I found out that they host quite a bit of community writing events as well, which was so cool to learn!

I love to buy cards and I found so many really nice ones! Some cards had beautiful Colorado scenes, my favorite! This lovely shop is easy to find, with very reasonable prices, and feeds your soul, I highly recommend a leisurely visit soon!
