Living in Denver for eight years I became quite a fan of the Tattered Cover. This is a terrific chain of independent book stores which has grown over the years and now includes at least two satellite locations at Denver International Airport. Don't go in expecting anything like the LoDo location (make sure to visit if you have not been) or the old Cherry Creek or new Colfax stores. It's also not huge. But, they have a reasonable selection of New and Bestselling books and a decent selection of Periodicals. They also have about 10 additional shelves of different genres. Not bad for an airport bookstore - and I'll be honest, Concourse C at DIA used to be a pretty desolate place. This was a welcome addition in my book. (... eh? eh?) I fly into Denver at least a time or two a year, but I pass through on Southwest at least as much. Delays happen when the airports involved are DIA, SFO and Minneapolis-St. Paul. I always feel like DIA is a bit of a mini-vacation. Tattered Cover, even in a very much scaled back format, brings back good memories of my time in Denver. Two last notes: They also have a few kids toys if you're on the way to see nieces or nephews (check). And, they have a handful of grab-and-go food items if you're in a hurry and don't want to make two stops.

I love this bookstore. Or at least the original, which I visited for the first time about 30 years ago. This is a tiny version of the original but it has the same feel as what I remember. It's a real bookstore in an airport. I didn't have time to browse too long. But the selection is great for an airport. Don't miss out on these stores.

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.

As an out of towner, I love visiting local bookshops. This one had to be one of the cutest I've…read moreseen in a while!! 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!

Lovely little spot that is not just a book store, not just a gift store, but a community spot with…read morelots of tables in the back. I have wanted to come here forever and would highly recommend coming in for an event over a random Tuesday for the full effect. I will however say, if you're looking for a gift for someone you have come to the right place! Absolutely perfect grouping of things for someone special!
