Lox bagel, Dutchess hour scones, tea sandwiches, charcuterie cup
Bri S.

The cutest elegant experience in Fort Collins! From the decor, to the food, down to the service everything is so tasteful from the moment you walk in to the moment you leave. The elegance of the decor, and how delicious all of the food was on top of such flavorful tea. Check it out if you have a chance. Going to make this a place to visit everytime I'm in town, I have fallen in love!

We had a party of 12 people. Colleen and Valeria were our waiters and they did a fantastic job. They were attentive with our party. I know it can be a little overwhelming when it's large parties, so we appreciate that they accommodated our party. Thanks to them, my friend's birthday celebration went wonderfully. Highly recommend for girl time with your friends. I got the pomegranate hibiscus tea, loved the floral flavor. Lavender mimosa? Give me 4!

Such a lovely presentation of tea, sandwiches, scones and desserts. Table setting was appealing and the waitstaff were helpful and friendly. My friends and I thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.

The setting and deco was outstanding. The staff are so friendly and willing to ensure you have a wonderful experience, which we totally did. The English scone, cream and jam brought back so many childhood memories.

Plush seats, top drawer everything.

Enjoyed tea and scones with a friend here to celebrate the holidays. Absolutely delightful...the food, service, and atmosphere. Our server Colleen was exceptional. Thank you, Duchess Tea Room !

Thanksgiving Afternoon Tea Service for two!
Amy A.

Decided to check this tea house out after visiting its sister location in Estes Park. My husband and I got the full Afternoon Tea and loved our tea selections and the scones. Our host was super accommodating, constantly checking if we needed any refills on our pots of tea. The decor was bright and sleek, and made you feel like royalty drinking there. While I found the dessert portion of the tea service a bit too much on the sweet, it was a great time out and will definitely be revisiting!

An extra little treat for my birthday...t Shorcake

As someone who absolutely loves going to tea, this little tearoom in downtown Ft. Collins is ADORABLE and such a wonderful little gem with Bridgeton Regency Vibes...as some passers by said as we waited for our table. My daughter brought me here for my 65th birthday and we loved everything about it! From the aqua and pink walls and curtains and crystal chandeliers, to the velvet cushy chairs and settees it was just a sweet, quaint and a lovely atmosphere to sit in. Our server, Sammy, cousin to the owner, I believe she said, was absolutely fabulous and so accommodating and sweet and a wonderful host. And despite how busy it was, she even took the time to chat with us. She was a very sweet lady. The menu is lovely and you get a choice of three different teas: all with finger sandwiches, sweets and scones and with an upgrade that comes with a small bowl of soup, which was delicious! (They also have dairy free and vegetarian options if you call ahead) which is what my daughter had. I had the upgrade with the soup, a lovely creamy tomato based roasted red pepper soup. The finger sandwiches were egg salad, curry chicken salad, (QEII's dish of the day for her wedding way back when), a salmon canapé, cucumber sandwich and tomato, salami and pesto sandwich...all delish (salmon was my fave I think...or the curry chicken salad...let's be honest, they were all excellent. It also came with a little Lavender Pot de Creme, I believe it was, and a square of lemon blueberry cake (which I brought home with me), and two lovely large scones, one plain and one raisin. All in all, it was a delightful and memorable experience for my 65th birthday. To me, nothing beats a PROPER English tea for a late lunch and I highly recommend this place for a Mother's Day luncheon, a bridal shower, or birthday or a nice mom and daughter lunch date. They even have a Princess Tea for the younger girls. I would even fair to say that some men would enjoy this place as well. Although, I LIKE the feminine atmosphere of a ln English tea...All thanks to the Duchess of Bedford who essentially had the first tea to stave off the afternoon munchies! Oh! And almost forgot, you get all the tea you want here. The Irish Breakfast tea was lovely but they have lots to choose from and you get your own pot! This is a great little relatively new spot...if you love Jane Austen or Bridgeton, and are a Regency or Georgian era buff like me, this place will bring you back to a simple time of elegance and beauty. The Duchess Tearoom in Ft. Collins is a treasure! (They have another tearoom with a different name up at Estes Park as well.)

If you cannot finish your treats, you can take them home in a pretty pastry box.

Fort Collins has a new Tea Room and it is lovely in every way. Sammy and Shai obviously love their new business and are eager to make everyone happy. The tower of treats that you receive for tea is very tasty and attractive. And there are dozens of teas to choose from. Each customer gets their own tea pot with the tea of their choosing. We ordered the Christmas Tea with a delightful mix of sweet homemade scones, and tiny sandwiches of egg salad, cucumber cream cheese and open faced toasted cheese with fig jam and thin slices of apple. (I am going to copy that recipe at home, yum!) The top layer of desserts were little chocolate mousse shots, apricot thumbprint cookies and a frosted cranberry orange cake. The cake was especially delicious, perfectly dense and the frosting tasted nicely homemade. We actually could hardly finish the top layer of desserts. We were pretty full after two scones each and the sandwiches. So they tucked our leftover desserts into a dainty pastry box. The shop has been decorated in shades of pink and white. It is an escape from work or shopping where you can relax and enjoy a cup of tea and conversation for a couple hours. The service is impeccable, as I said, Shai and Sammy want you to have the best experience and are attentive to your needs. Besides numerous tea towers to choose from, there is a full lunch menu with salads, sandwiches and soups. The chicken noodle soup we saw at another table looked great. If we weren't so full we would have ordered more. The Lox Sandwich on the menu looks good. And we saw one tower go by with charcuterie on it, nice pieces of cheese and grapes. I will definitely be trying that. As my daughter and I walked up, we saw Encore Bridal Store next door and we thought it would be a perfect afternoon to go wedding dress shopping and make a reservation for tea next door at The Duchess Tea Room. It is a little girlie and we love that. But while there we saw two separate tables with men in their party. The men were getting in the spirit and each had a head band and fascinator hat on their heads. Such fun guys! The store has a hat rack with fascinator hats you can borrow while you have tea. This tearoom is the perfect place to hang out on a rainy of snowy afternoon. Enjoy!

Inside of teapots are filthy.
Natalie B.

As someone who has worked at 3 different tea houses and loves to try new tearooms, I was pretty disappointed. The teaware was filthy on the inside. There's really no excuse for that, sure tea can stain, but if washed and scrubbed correctly there's no reason for a tea pot to look like this. The vegetarian options were limited, and the vegan options were non-existent even though we were assured they would make something work for us. Nice ambience, but too pricey for what it is. Not impressed. Not coming back.

Dessert sampler and scones

I've seen this place on instagram before and I just happened to walk by it today. It's so cute in here, and lived up to the expectations. Courtney was super attentive and so positive and helpful throughout our experience. We got a little dessert sampler and they are the perfect size and delicious.

A happy place! I discovered this wonderful tea room and enjoyed a pot of tea and scones one afternoon. It is such a lovely place, with friendly staff in a beautiful environment. Great variety of teas and menu options.

Excellent service but a bit pricey. The decorations are very cute and I imagine bringing a little girl for tea would be magical.

Hilari-tea with friends.

The shop has a huge variety of loose leaf tea of all types, sold by the ounce, from mid-range…read moreprices to more expensive rarer teas. They have matcha too, though I didn't really look at the matcha selection. There's something for you whether you're unfamiliar with different teas or a seasoned tea-drinker. The person that helped me with the loose leaf was very knowledgeable about the different teas. We had a great conversation about what we liked to drink, and they gave me a sample of a tea they thought I'd like based on what we talked about in addition to the three teas I bought. I went home with an ounce of Nepal Pokhara green, China lingering clouds green, sticky rice tuo-cha (pu-er), and a sample of Glenburn moonshine Darjeeling oolong. I haven't actually gotten to opening the two green teas yet but the pu-er and oolong are fantastic. On the teahouse side of the shop, you can get any of the loose leaf teas prepared for you, tea lattes, matcha, bubble tea, and some baked goods to go with your drink. I had a ceremonial matcha bowl (usucha). The matcha was good, but if you're just going to get one drink there, I think my recommendation would be to go with one of the loose leaf teas instead, because the matcha, while prepared very well, was just a run of the mill matcha, and they have so many unique teas. If you're in Fort Collins and have an interest in teas, this is a must-visit spot!

The tea options are so plentiful so you can try before you buy. The service was fast and they…read moreoffered kids temp so it is not too hot to drink. The ambiance is casual and love the bookstore next door.

Tip Extortion Been…read moregoing there occasionally for 5 years. Service was hit and miss. Some staff friendly, some merely aloof, some seemingly hostile. Never could figure it out. Gave them the benefit of the doubt. I always support independent shops when possible. Friends don't let friends go to Starbucks... A few days ago it became clear. I ordered a bagel and requested it be toasted enough not to be raw inside. About half the time that's what I got. I paid and saw they wanted a tip upfront. I feel asking for a tip before earning it is unethical. So I selected no tip. I would gladly leave a dollar after. One of the staff, let's call him "Beta Boy", toasted my bagel and delivered it to me burnt. No overdone. Burnt. As in mostly black. I said it was burnt. He replied that I requested it "double toasted". I looked at him like he was speaking in Swahili. I explained that I merely wanted it toasted and not raw inside. He insisted that I ordered it that way. He did not take my order. I said she wrote it but I did not say it. He insisted that I, the customer, was somehow so stupid as to not know how to order a bagel. I said "would you eat this"? Amazingly, he said with a straight face "yes". I replied that he could eat it but I want what I ordered. At this point "Beta Boy" leaned over and told me I should be nice. Nice? Nice! I was flabbergasted. I was being scolded by kid a third my age. I was stunned. Was this a joke? Yes, but he was serious. It was an absolutely stunning display of passive-aggressive behavior. Delivered with a condescending smirk and self-righteousness. I replied that I am not nice and so what. He then insisted that I be nice. I said I am from the Midwest and we tend to be direct. It's not rude. It's the way we communicate. Honestly without hedging. This sailed right over his head unacknowledged, Then the truth. You didn't leave a tip he said. How did he know I didn't tip on the little checkout screen? I tried to explain my view on tipping that it needs to be earned. "Beta Boy" was adamant that they expect tips as they are not paid much and work "hard". I reiterated my view and called tipping up front unearned and possibly undeserved as like Socialism. "Beta Boy" did not like that and said that "people of my generation (Boomers are Bad!) don't get it." He further lectured me on how underpaid they were and that the "need" and thus "deserve" tips regardless of what service they offer. He then declared that a dollar tip was entirely insufficient. I replied that $1 on a $4 bagel was a 25% tip. He repeated that it was too little regardless. I said then how much is fair. He did not answer. My guess is that he knew as much about the mathematics of percentages as he knows about Swahili dialects. I offered that if they were to ask for tips after, the honorable way, they would earn more. People are motivated above all by fairness and would hedge on tips not knowing if they would be earned. "Beta Boy" gave me the obligatory hourly-wage employee response that "that's the way it is"... The self-declared creatives have the ingenuity of cows munching grass. Then a kid decided to be a hero and intervened saying "WE don't have a problem with the tipping". In a stunning display of sociotropic behavior, he elected himself to defend the shop and represent all other patrons. I ran out of patience and told him to STFU. At this point the heroine server, who decided I like burnt bagels, told me to leave. So I did leave. I regret every penny I spent there to support their shop. So now I know why even as I liked the layout of the place, and all their countless little books promoting a myriad of pretentious woke socialist utopia topics, I never felt comfortable there. The all-inclusive did not like me invading their "Safe Space". Instead of just telling me "hey, this is our space not yours Boomer Boy" they instead were a case study in passive aggressiveness. A coward's way to feel all smug and self-righteous. Since they present themselves as fans of "literature" here is a literary quote (Kurt Vonnegut Jr. in Slaughterhouse Five... said to the character Billy Pilgrim in a hospital upon his return from being a prisoner of war in Dresden, Germany... "I can carve a better man out of a banana" So I see that they have high ratings from their intended audience and I am a mere interloper. My little One star rating will not be noticed. By the way, I am from Michigan and the state animal is the Wolverine. It is ferocious and righteous. No other animal messes with it. Your business does not deserve the name. I suggest you change it to Weasel Farm.

I'm new to Fort Collins and have already been to The Little Bird Bakeshop twice for business…read moremeetings. Both visits were great. Excellent coffee, seriously good food, and the staff has been incredibly kind and welcoming each time. The atmosphere is one of the best parts -- cool historic building, relaxed vibe, and just a really comfortable place to spend time.

Today, the croque monsieur (the SO cringes at the way I pronounce it when I order because it sounds kind of like "croak mon-sewer") was particularly good. The SO's mushroom quiche was custardy with a good amount of mushrooms. The walnut chocolate chip cookie was an excellent thick homemade type of cookie. The sourdough loaf was spot on. As an every day black coffee drinker, I have to say, they were having a really bad coffee day. After a few sips of my coffee, I went back to counter and put a bunch of half and half into my mug of coffee. The barista was looking at me with an expression that said, "You should have ordered an espresso drink". They are forgiven for one bad coffee day.
