    I was craving matcha and my partner needed coffee so we looked up a place nearby and found Panda Coffee House. The location is pretty cool. There's a lot going on in the space but if you come early in the morning, it is pretty chill. I think they have pastries from Black Box (I could be wrong) but the pastries are really good. They're very buttery. No photos of food cause I devoured that. There's plenty of seats and parking spaces. The matcha was quite good. It wasn't too bitter or sweet. It still tasted like a solid matcha drink unlike the siren chain. If I'm in the area, I would stop by. I don't think this is Panda Coffee fault but the music was so loud.

    Black sesame matcha, seasonal
    Jenny S.

    Located inside the FlyteCo Tower! Cute coffee shop that looks like it offers much more in the evening hours such as alcohol and games ---iced chai (spicy) and the seasonal iced black sesame matcha were both good lattes! I came back 2 days during my short trip to Denver ---plain croissant: flaky! Sad the next day it looked like they didnt get a new batch of baked goods delivered so I didnt try a 2nd pastry

    Located in FlyteCo Tower, this coffee house offers a selection of pastries and beverages! Plenty of parking as FlyteCo offers a large parking lot. Panda Coffee House is to the left as you walk in. My friend and I got there in the mid morning beginning of the afternoon and there was still a good amount of pastries to choose from. I got the chocolate chip croissant! They warmed it up for me as well. It was light and fluffy but also flaky! The chocolate in the center was delicious! We sat at a table near the coffee house but looking around there is plenty of open seating. It did get a little loud but we got up to explore too. All the staff were very friendly and asked if we needed assistance. I think this would be a great place to gather friends to hangout and chill, plenty of food options for everyone!

    Double Matcha Top
    Crystal Z.

    Ambiance - hidden cafe that's part of a residential building, front of the building is the cafe and back is a restaurant Service - baristas were nice & speedy with our drinks Food - the double matcha top is to die for, you could really take the matcha in the drink

    This business is inside the Tower. Baristas were warm and welcome. Coffee flavor was lacking. I was expecting the cold brew to be smoother than it was - didn't quite hit the mark. Might come back to try an espresso based drink instead.

    Bakery items

    One of the best coffee shops in Denver nestled inside the FlyteCo Tower (also such a cool concept). Friendly staff agreat coffee & attention to detail. Love that they carry black box bakery items & the burritos are also solid!

    The vibes were great and the seating options were probably the best I've seen in Denver...SO MUCH ROOM. Unfortunately my chai was way too spicy for me so I swapped it out for a mocha. The mocha (pre me mixing it) was awful. The taste of the coffee alone was so bad (my go to is an unsweetened latte so it's not an issue of whether I like coffee or not) but once I mixed the chocolate that was on the walls of the cup in, it was okay. We got some cinnamon sugar pastry and the flavor was okay but it was VERY dry. I do still want to come back to try their matcha but pretty bummed this place isn't better.

    THE BIG: Located inside the FlyteCo Tower in the Central Park area of Denver. Apparently the name Panda was inspired by the owners dogs (pepper and archer). Plenty of indoor seating and a beautiful outdoor area for kids to run around. Parking lot available. THE BLACK AND WHITE: We came here before our pickleball game (recreationally of course) and was in need of a caffeine fix. Panda coffee house is a unique name but serves some damn good coffee and matcha. I usually get my coffee black but was really curious about their oat milk latte. It turned out to be super delicious. The wife got the matcha mortado, which is a lighter matcha latte and is a play on for matcha cortado. That was super yummy. THE FINAL BAMBOO: Overall, the price for a matcha mortado and a coffee was around $12. Definitely a must try if you're aroudn the area for your caffeine fix.

    Strawberry matcha
    Megan H.

    Such good quality matcha and they put 3oz in both the 16 and 12oz matchas - one is just stronger. They also don't charge for alt milk but were super fast. It's not too sweet and super well balanced

    Lattes
    Lauren L.

    Finally tried the strawberry matcha! It's delicious, of course. I've also tried the cortado since my last review. It's served really nicely, as a sort of coffee service. My only less than perfect experience has been with the chocolate raspberry latte. It had too much syrup for my taste, but hey, at least it's really good syrup!

    Menu to choose my beverage.

    It's in the Fly Co Tower on the ground floor all three workers were pleasant, & helpful. I chose to take my drink to go since I wasn't impressed with the inside.

    Aaamazing!! Didn't know this opened up in the fun Flyte Co until recently. They have all the usual coffee and tea drinks but also an incredible selection of unique drinks. I enjoyed the mango kulfi delight with matcha - so incredible! It's such a fun family friendly place with video games, bowling, mini golf, etc. My children love coming here - as does my husband! Now we have an excuse to come in the morning to enjoy some fun especially when the weather is questionable. Everyone was super friendly and sweet to my daughter. Such great vibes!

    Strawberry Matcha

    Best Strawberry matcha in Denver! I've never been here but really appreciated the large amount of parking and seats inside. This looks like a cute date night spot with the mini golf and arcade in the back. Was a great spot to come do some work and did not feel overly crowded. This matcha was hands down the best matcha I've had in Denver! Not too sweet and the strawberry milk was perfect! Also probably the most beautiful drink I've ever been handed, I almost did not want to shake it. The matcha itself was very delicate and didn't have that bitter aftertaste that a lot of matcha brands can have. I appreciated the variety of matcha a ok the menu and am already dreaming of coming back!

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

He explained all the "tea things" that I wouldnt have otherwise known (how to use the strainer and where to place it). We had 4 teas only, but wish we could have tried more. If it weren't so busy, I think we could have rotated a few more in. It was pretty pricey all in all $80 pp and they did include tip on our check

Try the toast and jam, and the turkey sandwich with pesto. They serve the fantastic Mid-State coffee. On this Saturday morning, it was a pleasure to sit and have a conversation in this space. The noise level was quiet. I expect the sound level to be different during happy hour. This tucked-away gem is a great place for locals and the perfect stop to take out-of-town guests. Street parking is $4 for 2 hours, and the expensive parking lots and garages are just $5 during the summer. There is plenty to do right in this one-block strip of amazing downtown Denver!

    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

    I made a reservation several weeks in advance for high tea for myself and five girlfriends because…read morewe were excited to try something new together. 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.

    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.

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!

It sits conveniently near the Convention Center, possesses a polished dining room, and harbors ambitions that deserve encouragement. On the Fourth of July, however, time itself wandered off to watch fireworks. Six coworkers and I arrived for our 7:30 reservation. We were seated immediately at a comfortable table in the back. The dining room was only about two-thirds full, which made the evening's upcoming mystery all the more impressive. That prompt seating, as it turned out, was the fastest thing that would happen to us all night. Our server greeted us, took drink orders, and brought out some warm Parker House rolls with Amish butter, alongside a bowl of French onion soup. This part was good. The rolls were soft; the soup was rich and comforting. Spirits were high. We ordered our entrees. Then the clocks stopped. Twenty minutes passed. Then forty. Then an hour. At first, we assumed our meals required extraordinary craftsmanship. Perhaps each potato was receiving a heartfelt, individual farewell before being mashed. Maybe the cows for our burgers were being transported from the farm where they source their meat in Wyoming fresh to order. But then we noticed something unsettling: nearly every table around us was waiting, too. Plates were strangely absent across the entire room. We had all been trapped inside an intermission with no second act. Our server, looking more exhausted with every trip from the kitchen, assured us our meals had "just been fired." I believed that he believed it. Ten more minutes drifted by. Our dinners finally appeared roughly ninety minutes after we had ordered. I felt bad for the man. He stayed friendly and professional while serving as the lightning rod for a kitchen catastrophe he had nothing to do with. Sometimes the person carrying the bad news is the one who deserves the most sympathy. The food, at least, tried its best. One of us couldn't stop talking about how excellent the pork chop was. Another declared the salmon outstanding. Three of us ordered the Brush Creek Wagyu burger. Mine arrived a perfect medium-rare. The other two, ordered medium, arrived practically mooing. But after waiting an hour and a half, nobody had the stomach to send them back into the void. They just ate their rare meat and kept quiet. To the restaurant's credit, our server chopped twenty-five percent off the bill without us having to ask. It was a decent, quiet gesture. It acknowledged that the evening had gone entirely off the rails. Corinne clearly has potential. The location is great, the space is nice, and when the food actually makes it to the table, it's mostly quite good. I suspect we simply wandered in on a spectacularly bad holiday evening. Even so, a ninety-minute wait and some undercooked burgers are hard to ignore. I hope our night was the exception, but I'm not entirely sure I'd gamble my evening to find out.
