Visited multiple times and have gotten the matcha jasmine sweet cream, hojicha vanilla sweet cream and the ube wafchi. The drinks are decent for its price, light flavor of matcha and hojicha (would be better if the flavor was stronger) they're still good regardless! I love their dessert!!! The wafchi is a MUST TRY!!!! read more

We came here on a Sunday afternoon and the place had another couple in front of us. The menu is a short and sweet. The employees were knowledgeable of questions. They also asked if we were interested in a match waffle. We kindly declined as we were only in for the drinks. Each drink is hand made, thus there is a bit of a wait time. It is okay long as the drinks are good. I ordered the strawberry cream cheese and my boyfriend order the iced uji matcha with oat milk. The drinks were delicately made to order. There are little black stools inside for customers to sit and wait for their drinks to be made. There are small fake plants inside to create a calming and tranquil environment. Plus there are an abundance exterior seating that really makes the space larger than it appears. Overall, a great experience. read more

I ordered the Cream Corn Matcha and it tasted exactly like corn milk with matcha. A very unique drink, I've never had anything like it before and the flavors were surprising pleasant together. The drink actually tasted better the longer I let it sit. The matcha did not taste diluted at all, but the texture was a little gritty. The staff was super nice and walked over to hand me my drink. I understand that high grade matcha is expensive, but I am not a fan of how the drinks are priced. $10.70 after tax is more than what I would pay for a good matcha drink in the Bay Area. That being said, my drink was really good and I do want to come back here to try their other drinks. read more

The first time I came to Milk Tea People, I thought it was good but it was definitely not worth the drive and it was a pricier matcha than I have seen. But fast forward to 2026 and the era of tariffs and inflations, a $10 drink is the norm. And I'm glad I decided to give MTP another try. First time was good but didn't stand out. This time around, I left impressed. We were in Downtown to see Hell's Kitchen and I decided to bring my partner here since he's never been. This time, I ordered the ube jasmine sweet cream drink because it didn't look too powdery and artificial (the light purple color spoke to me). We also ordered the black sesame drink and both drinks were quite delicious and definitely worth the drive for the drinks (or at least the 14 min walk from the entertainment venues to here for a pick me up before the shows). They're not too sweet and I'm glad that they don't overload the drink with ice because I've been to some places where you get 90% ice. It's a modern milk tea shoppe but it's currently located in a plaza with plenty of outdoor seating and it's enclosed so you don't see the loudness of the city. I know they're relocating soon but I'll be back for sure. read more

This is easily the best matcha place in Denver. I first visited several years ago, and the quality still tastes exactly as great as I remember. It is definitely on the pricier side, but you are paying for the beautiful aesthetic just as much as the beverage itself. I highly recommend ordering anything with matcha here, since the employees painstakingly hand whisk every single drink right in front of you. The only downside for me was the cream cheese series, which tasted a bit too overwhelmingly cheesy. The cheese foam and the drink separate quite a bit, and it is hard to mix them together just by swirling the cup around. I am not sure if you have to explicitly ask for a straw, but I will probably request one next time to make drinking it a bit easier. read more

Milk Tea People is conveniently located in Downtown Denver. Went here twice for our girls trip. My verdict is that I recommend their frescas but not their matcha or hojicha. On our first visit my friend got the matcha jasmine sweet creme and I got the hojicha vanilla sweet creme. We both agreed that the matcha and hojicha were watered down and had a chalky aftertaste. This was definitely not worth $10. My two friends who got frescas instead loved their drinks. The second time we went back we all got frescas. They were extremely busy on a Sunday evening especially since it was the Dodgers vs Rockies game. It took awhile but service was amazing. Staff brought out our drinks. The store is definitely very aesthetic but there are no tables inside. Outdoor bench seating only. read more

I was craving some Boba tea and saw this on the map and had to stop by because of all the good reviews. Turns out they don't actually have any Boba, but they're milk. Tea options are unique and cover a range of amazing flavor combos. I went for the black sesame, it was absolutely incredible. They have an open " kitchen" if you will, grinding the Matcha by hand constantly, right in front of you. The entire vibe is very zen, it's a very small place but the entire front has very tall windows, giving it a larger field, and very natural, minimalist energy. Prices are pretty average a little under $10 for a drink read more

Great matcha and very cool interior. I just got a plain matcha latte with whole milk and no sweetener. It was definitely high quality and strong. $9.96 was very steep but it's ok for once in a while. They weren't busy at all when I came around 1:30p on a Sunday. I'm sure their flavored drinks are probably really good I would totally come back read more

I came to Milk Tea People after it was recommended to me from a friend in New York. Maybe my expectations were just too high but it does not live up to its hype in my opinion. I got the matcha wafchi, which came with lavender gelato, blueberries, and condensed milk. It didn't really taste too special and I would have preferred a different ice cream flavor but the waiter said they could only do lavender or vanilla. For my drink, I got the green Thai tea almond sweet cream. It was a bit too sweet for my liking. There are no tables inside -- only 4 stools. It made me unsure if these stools are meant for people to sit on while they are waiting for their food/drink or if people could actually stay and eat while sitting here. There are some tables outside but it seemed like it was for the public and not exclusively for milk tea people, and it was really hot outside. read more

Not quite as impressed as last time, but maybe I ordered wrong. We got the golden yunnan cheese cream which had a nice salty cream layer but I was recommended to not stir it which was hard because you only tasted the cream. The tea itself tasted very fresh and had a lot of depth. Very similar to a boba milk tea flavor. I also tried the orange blossom matcha (not my favorite, the artificial orange flavor covered the matcha completely) and the orange creamsicle which just tasted like ice cream so how can it be bad. read more

i think their syrups are exactly accurate, but the fundamental tea base is lacking. none of the matcha drinks tasted like matcha imo the orange creamsicle is yummy, tasted like a push pop the pistachio matcha had a strong pistachio flavor and same with orange blossom which started out tasting like cereal milk, but changed into a more artificial orange taste read more

Whaaatttttt. How have I not been here!? Tucked away in the Base Camp marketplace is an extremely aesthetically pleasing milk tea shop! The decor is simple, clean, and really beautiful. I ordered the hojicha milk tea latte and it was delicious. Hojicha is so toasty and nutty and delicious and mixed with the milk and sweetness, it was utter perfection. I think I need to get it hot too! I also ordered the coconut ube waf chi. Waf what, you say? It's a mochi waffle. It's fantastic. You gotta try it. I love the texture of mochi and I love waffles so there was no way I wasn't going to love it. I ate the whole thing by accident. Hahaha. Ube and coconut is a perfect combo. The coconut ice cream was delish. The waffle texture was superb. I need to come back and try all of the other flavors. Needless to say, 10/10 recommend stopping by you guys. read more

This is by far the most expensive matcha I've ever had -- $10 for a matcha drink! There are other spots nearby that serve matcha, so I'm curious why this one is pricier . Someone did mention that matcha prices have gone up due to tariffs, so maybe it used to be cheaper. I ordered the blueberry lavender matcha is very tasty. I also appreciate that they don't use much ice. read more

Both the matcha and service were great here. We stopped midweek around lunch time and here was a few groups of people ahead of us. We had more then enough time to decide what we wanted so when it was our time to order it was quick. I ordered an iced strawberry matcha with regular milk and the cashier was very friendly as she took my order. We waited a bit for our drinks to be ready but she brought them out to us when they were. The strawberry matcha was delicious. I really liked that it did not have the strong bitter earthy taste that matcha usually has. The strawberry flavoring was really good and not too sweet. There was plenty of seating outside and a few stools inside. read more

If you like, no, LOVE, milk tea, people this place is for you. Deducting a star mainly because every time I check out I nearly have a heart attack from the prices (this ain't no chubby Purple Cow cup either), because the location is terribly inconvenient since it's in the heart of downtown, and because the online ordering system doesn't really save any time. We actually got our drinks AFTER people who arrived after us despite already placing our orders while walking over. Milk Tea People takes boba to craft boutique level. The minimalist aesthetic of the store is probably enough to tip you off. This being said, it's nice not being assaulted by 100 different tea, fruit, milk, and topping options. The drinks they serve, they do well. Fragrant matcha drinks and earthy hojicha are whisked and brewed into strong concoctions that you'll struggle not to down in a single long sip. As is now custom, you can alter your ice and sweetness level, but not to quite the same titration level as other boba shops. Ice is just normal or less ice, and sugar levels are modified by pumps of cane sugar, similar to a Starbucks. Alternative milks are offered, but at a whopping $1 extra. If my drinks didn't cost a meal each, I might have room in my paycheck to buy one of their much hyped waffles, but this will have to come later. The wait for your drink can be long. An eye-catching display of Kinto drinkware is set for you to admire if you're waiting inside, where seating consists only of a few backless stools. You'll find some communal picnic tables and Adirondack chairs just outside though. Might as well enjoy some fresh air while you dream of your next drink. read more

BRO, massive L and miss for me. Probably since I'm a native the 626 which has boba as far as your eyes can see, this place was not that great to me. We were trying to find a boba place with milk/dairy free alternatives as one of my coworkers is vegan and this is one of the few places in Downtown Denver that have that option. It definitely is a fancier, high end place. Very minimalistic decor, Aesop hand sanitizer (this is how you know they're bougie), and they wash everything there with a thing they press the cups on and they heat up and whisk the matcha freshly in front of you too. I got their Green Thai Tea Almond Sweet cream, less ice, half sweet. It was super milky and very sweet, so I can't imagine what a 100% sweet drink would be like. My coworkers did enjoy their drinks and I probably just ordered the wrong thing as there are so many other places in SoCal to get delicious Green Thai Tea (looking at you, ChaTraMue) that this paled in comparison. Also doesn't help that many of the drinks here are around $9-10, and doing any additions or adjustments may make it cost even more. For that cost? You can do so much better. read more

Definitely in the upper echelon of teas offered in Denver. They whisk their ceremonial grade Matcha for each order. I opted for the Americano with light ice and unfortunately it came loaded with ice. Having waited a bit I did not complain about it. We were only 48 hours in Denver and wanted to make the most of it. I did not want to stay another 10 minutes waiting for a remake of my drink. My husband opted for a Hojicha latte with the black sesame cream top. The first time we went it was chef's kiss. Since it was so good, we opted to go the last night we were in Denver and when I watched the pour on the cream top, it was all liquid. It was not creamy at all, which was very disappointing. She tried to swirl it a little bit, but it did not make a difference. It was more like a black sesame creamer lol. Again, did not argue or ask for a remake. Inside is clean and front facing. You can see everything that they're doing and how everything is made. Since things are made to order, there was a bit of wait time both times we visited and there are always a ton of people. There are some Adirondack chairs outside if it gets packed inside. Regardless of the mishaps, the customer service is fine and we would be back again if in Denver. Hopefully third times a charm and they get our drinks right. read more

I was trying to find cafes to get a matcha from and almost every single coffee place was closed except for here! I walked here using google maps which was simple but also kinda confusing because the restaurant is in the middle of two buildings, but the entrance is on the outside. I ordered the blueberry lavender matcha latte and matcha wafchi which was pretty expensive but at least it is unique. The matcha latte was super sweet so I was only able to drink half. The matcha wafchi had blueberries and ice cream on it and was sooo good. Never tasted any creation like this before! The workers also hand delivered it to me and were so kind. There was limited seating inside the restaurant, no tables. Outside the restaurant had picnic benches read more

We had been hunting for Milk Tea while visiting Denver but kept striking out. Cue Milk Tea People. We found our way over to them, and FINALLY we were able to get some milk tea. They don't have the largest of menus, and the inside is very minimalistic. All of which I like - simple is better. Because what they do make, they make very well. Went with their classic Thai Tea, and it was delicious. Hit all the flavors perfectly. Ended up adding on one of their Coconut Ube Wafchis, and I somehow ended up liking this better than my tea? The mochi addition to the typical waffle really just brought up the whole experience and gave it a great, semi-chewy texture. And the ube was just the right amount of sweet so that it remained enjoyable throughout. As I said, very minimalistic inside so there really isn't anywhere to sit. But there were plenty of picnic-style tables outside. Overall, a great choice if you're looking for some great milk tea! read more

I don't live in Denver, but go at least once a year and I've been wanting to try the ube mochi waffle for so long ever since my friend sent it to me and it's to die for. Warm from the oven/iron/toaster, the texture is gooey and crisp at the same time. I opted out of the condensed milk, and added the blueberry lavender gelato which paired sooo well. The gelato gave off a Turkish ice cream texture, and the flavor's so nice. Also ordered the black sesame jasmine cream drink and you get the nutty flavor from the black sesame. The jasmine is very subtle, and the drink was creamy, but not too bad. Just have to be in the mood for black sesame, but would come back to try the other drinks (though the waffle is a now must-have for every visit to the city)! Parking's tough since it's mainly on the street. Tip: order online as wait times can be quite long read more

Overall rating: 5/5 Milk Tea People was a place I was highly looking forward to checking out when I visited Denver based on how so many people raved about their matcha and boy did it not disappoint! The shop is located between buildings with a walkway to Market Station complex in downtown Denver. There's street parking so expect to park a little bit away and walking over. The shop is modern, simple, and elegantly minimalistic. There is nice lighting and a few chairs inside where you can sit and watch the workers prepare your drink (somewhat like an open kitchen). There's also plenty of outdoor seating. The workers were patient and polite and had my drinks ready in a timely manner. I ordered: -Blueberry lavender matcha (5/5): very nicely balanced. The lavender and blueberry notes each came through and did not overpower the matcha flavor -Cinnamon matcha horchata (5/5): I actually liked this combo a lot and may prefer this over the blueberry lavender matcha drink. I was skeptical of this combo as both are strong flavors but they complimented each other well. Overall, I'd recommend checking this place out and would definitely come back whenever I'm in town! read more

If you love good matcha like I do, then you know how hard it is to find a place that really gets it right. Between the matcha and chai struggle, I'm honestly one bad drink away from becoming a barista myself. Starbucks uses that chalky powder, some shops use tasteless pre-mixes, others overdo the powder or underuse the water, leaving bitter clumps at the bottom of your cup. It's rough out there But let me save you the trouble--these folks do it right. At this point, I feel like I need to try everything on the menu. I found this place through someone's Instagram and made a mental note to visit. I'm so glad I did, what an excellent experience. What I've Tried (all iced with oat milk): - Matcha Orange Blossom (first visit): I was intrigued by the flavor profile, orange blossom is floral, and paired with matcha, it gave a light, bright taste. I enjoyed it, but I think I wanted something a bit more full-bodied. - Strawberry Matcha (next visit): This one was the winner. Truly one of the best matcha drinks I've had since I started drinking matcha regularly. The earthiness and fruity notes were perfectly balanced, just the right amount of sweetness, and gave me the energy boost I needed. I'm not ashamed to say I went back for a second one before my trip ended. - Lavender Matcha (final visit): This one didn't work for me. It was recommended by the staff, but I think I would've preferred the blueberry lavender version. The matcha overpowered the lavender, and I didn't end up finishing it. Other Highlights: Ambience: Super aesthetically pleasing space. Clean, cozy, and very Instagram-worthy if that's your thing. Service: Friendly and thoughtful. I especially appreciated that instead of just placing your drink on the bar, they come around to hand it to you directly. Not necessary, but a really nice extra touch. Location: Easy to walk to from where I was staying, great for locals and visitors alike. Extras: They sell tea and glassware in the shop. I didn't get a chance to try their hybrid waffles, but it's on my list for next time--l, along with the horchata matcha, which I've heard amazing things about. Final Thoughts: Tens across the board. If you're a matcha lover looking for drinks that are crafted with care and actually taste like real matcha, you need to stop by. I'll definitely be back the next time I'm in Denver and until then, I'll be trying to recreate that strawberry matcha magic at home read more

Ridiculously overpriced, but I'll give credit where it's due - that cream cheese foam goodness is absolutely amazing. Like, stop-what-you're-doing-and-savor-this amazing. I tried their signature drinks and the quality is definitely there. The foam has this perfect creamy, slightly tangy texture that balances out the tea perfectly. You can tell they know what they're doing with their ingredients and technique. But here's the problem - the prices are just nuts. I'm talking about paying premium for what should be a casual drink. I never went back because of the expense, but if you've got the money and want to treat yourself, this is definitely a yum place. The flavors are on point and they clearly put effort into their craft. Just be prepared to pay for it. If cost wasn't a factor, this would easily be a 5-star spot. read more

Super expensive place and definitely not worth it. Avoid this place if you want good hojicha. I paid ten dollars for a drink that the barista told me was not sweet but ended up being insanely sweet.

I just realized I never left a review for Milk Tea People since October! My production manager (we're not from here ) raved about this place, and since my daughter loves milk tea, we had to try it. Before going, I read the reviews and noticed quite a few mentions of unfriendly or impatient service. So we decided we'd walk in knowing exactly what we wanted. Were there still a few questions I wasn't prepared for? Yes, but it wasn't bad! The whole experience was a breeze. Super quick, super calm. Maybe they just have natural RBF... so what? My daughter ordered the strawberry matcha, and I stuck with my go-to Thai tea (creature of habit). This is definitely more of a grab-and-go spot, very limited seating inside, so expect to wait briefly for your drinks and head out. Both drinks were AMAZING. Perfectly balanced and not overly sweet. I'd include pictures but my daughter had went in on hers before I could take one. Lol I'd absolutely come back. read more
