I had the iced jasmine pearl green tea with a little honey and I thoroughly enjoyed the tea. It was quite refreshing in the heat. The store not only had hot or iced tea that you can order to go but they also had boba, matcha tea latte, lemonades, and spritzers. They also offered some milk alternative. This place was not just a place to get a cup of tea. Here you can purchase loose leaf tea and there is quite a large selection. Around the store, they even had descriptors of the different types of tea which was quite informative. It was very well organized with signage for the different type of tea that section of the wall was housing. They also had other items, tea related, for sale like mugs. The people who work there seem to genuinely enjoy working there which really made for such a positive experience.

Ku Cha was only a 10 minute walk from my hotel, so I hurried to get there before 7 pm when they closed. I was so happy seeing the interior with so many teas to smell, I thought their system was very well organized and labelled! They had a great variety & teas that I never got to try or were interested in. I decided to go with an iced Dong Ding Oolong Milk Tea, asking for it to be sweet. This is a drink I commonly get whenever I see it (favorite is Chi Cha San Chen), so I was really looking forward to trying this since this place is also so highly rated. Now, I know oolong does not produce a pigmented color as traditional black tea, and so when it is made into a milk tea, it's not going to have a lot of color. But I couldn't help but be surprised when I received this after only 2 minutes. Pale, small bits of melted iced ice, and the saddest looking drink I've ever seen. The taste matched the look: barely any tea flavor, and more like waterly oolong scented milk. I was super disappointed, and geniunely could not drink it after a few sips. Sad, you could probably buy the leaves to steep your own tea the proper way, but avoid getting a non-black milk onsite.

my partner and i were visiting denver for the first time recently. we had an evening flight home --…read moreafter checking out of our hotel, we decided to spend the day working from a space in downtown. i'm a big matcha lover, so the night before, i did research on the best matcha in the city. seattle has an abundance of good matcha (maybe i'm spoiled in that way) so i needed to see what denver had to offer. milk tea people came up consistently throughout almost every list or influencer video that i could find. the spot my partner and i chose to work from happened to be close by as well, so i dropped my stuff with him and went over to milk tea people myself. not gonna lie, it was a little hard to find in the sea of the mostly empty market station building. the workers probably saw me circle by like two or three times lol. but once i found it, i was so happy i did. it's in a larger space of market station. it is quite minimalist, so it's definitely for grab-n-go. mostly grey inside with some seats to wait for matcha, some shelves on the right near the register that have items for purchase, and a long countertop with the workers behind. i browsed the menu briefly and decided on a lavendar matcha latte with oat milk (shocker). service was great, everyone inside was super nice and definite honed-in on perfecting every order. this was incredible matcha. i took one sip and knew i needed to take a jar of it home with me and that is exactly what i did. this will have to be a must-visit every time i'm in denver, because ohhhh my goodness it's too good. i have yet to try the wafchi, but that'll be next time for sure. i always love a sweet treat.

We weren't sure if this particular spot would still be open or if their new space/iteration would be open. Clearly this space is still opened and still lives up to the hype I have explained in my two other reviews. It's a no-brainer for us to visit and we will be visiting a handful of other times before our trip ends. If you are looking for top notch beverages made from quality ingredients with friendly service look no further. We have not had a single bad thing here. Staff is always so nice and helpful to answer anything. I believe we have had both before but my wife got the Blueberry Lavender Matcha (her absolute ideal flavored matcha) and I got the Matcha Chai Sweet Cream. Both were expertly crafted but you can't go wrong with anything on their menu! Definitely a spot worth adding to your list to check out! Can't wait for next trip back to see the evolution of Milk Tea People that they have called ONOMMA!

The three cozy pods were already occupied, but I was able to grab a seat at one of the two communal work tables, which gave me easy access to an outlet to charge my phone. They also offer free wifi. There were plenty of other seating options too, including lounge chairs and bar seating. They even have a billiards table! 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. Overall, Vibe Coffee & Wine is worth a quick stop, but it is especially nice as a place to relax, hang out, or settle in and do a little work.

There are towering ceilings and comfortable chairs. There are enough electrical outlets to power a small army of laptop philosophers who are pretending to write important books. It looks like a place where profound human connections ought to happen. Mine did not. The baristas handled my order as though enthusiasm had recently been made a felony by the federal government. 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.

Fantastic customer service and delicious boba. We tried the spiced chai with almond milk and…read moreregular boba, and the taro milk with strawberry popping boba. Both were excellent!

Small family owned business with boba and poke bowls. Lots of personality and wall art inside…read more Probably popular with the community and locals since a lot of the customers I saw coming in and out knew what seemed to be the mom and son duo (I'm just inferring here). 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.

Met up with a friend I hadn't seen in a while and one of her buddies for afternoon tea at the Brown…read morepalace, and it was a really nice place to catch up and chill! 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.

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.

This charming spot for afternoon tea could have appeared straight out of an English village, but is…read moreconveniently here in Denver instead, right on Platte Street. Don't be confused, the building address may be 15th Street, but the stores on the main floor mostly face Platte Street. The tea shop is near the far east end. There is validated parking in the Parkwell lot behind the building. The shop is cozy and very cute with seating for about three dozen. We visited the day after Valentine's and things were still decorated for the holiday. The staff is very welcoming and we were soon seated after needing a bit of help with the Parkwell Web site. The rules for afternoon tea were quickly explained. Each person receives an individual pot of tea and can order as many different flavors/varieties as they wish to try. A traditional, vertical rack for each couple contains two plates of sandwiches, a plate of scones, and a plate of cookies and petit fours. This is a lot of food. We received three sets of sandwiches including turkey, cucumber, and curried chicken salad plus a bruschetta. These were all delicious, particularly the bruchetta which had a great mix of flavors. I love scones and we received both a strawberry and a traditional one with a plate of ramekins containing jam, clotted cream, and lemon curd. Very authentic and very tasty. Tea service included three timers to ensure the perfect steeping time, a plate on which to place the tea leaf basket after steeping, a strainer for each cup, and a little container to hold the strainer. Just be sure to keep a finger on the tea pot lid when you pour! We were stuffed at this point, so we only nibbled a bit of the chocolate petit four and were given a beautiful box in which to take home the balance of the desserts. We even each received a final cup of tea to go! Service was friendly and efficient. This is a great experience for my fellow lovers of afternoon tea and very authentic. We enjoyed every bit of it. The shop offers nearly 100 tea varieties plus cocktails, wine, and champagne. There's a happy hour from 4pm to 6pm daily. There's also a café menu if you don't want the full tea service and they love to host special events.

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!

My mom, who usually scoffs at fancy restaurants and their fancy prices, absolutely loved her $10 ginger sunrise juice drink (I made her get it) and said that her sweet corn eggs benedict ($19) was one of the best things she's ever eaten. Our server Julie did an amazing job taking care of our party, some of whom arrived on time and some of whom didn't. The 20% large party gratuity was well-earned. I loved that the restaurant being connected to the hotel meant that the lobby was a beautiful space for those of us who got there early to gather and for us to all chat before we went our separate ways. Many of us were enthralled by the Moët & Chandon vending machine in the lobby, as well as the super cool "fire in a glass box" art piece. I had the $19 chicken philly skillet, which was tasty, but my family members who got the $29 steak and eggs knew what they were doing. My husband, who is incredibly picky about bacon, thought his $6 side of bacon with his $18 buttermilk pancakes was perfectly cooked and not overly seasoned. Thinking about this family meal makes my heart smile. Thanks to the Corinne staff for making it delightful.

This is a fine spot in a hotel downtown, sure, but yikes the pricing was totally out of control!!!…read more Brunch, you know simple cheap stuff like eggs and potatoes, was $130 for TWO people. I don't think I've ever spent more on brunch in my life. Yeah, we got a couple drinks, too. Thank goodness it was my partner's bday and we got the dessert for free. A fine place, but be ready to thin your wallet if you choose it! I wouldn't go again for that reason. I'd find another brunch spot where I can spend $100 or less. Which is still A TON for brunch!!! Restaurants complain so much about business, but then price it to the point where they get less business. What's gotta give? Hotels have the luxury of being more expensive since they have people staying & paying on the company dollar. But, I didn't pick the spot, and I got a bougiea$$ partner! Lol.
