I always enjoy a visit to Teaology, so I had to update my review to note they are still killing it!…read moreA home run every time. Tea lattes and matcha, both hot and cold options. My personal fave and rec: Oh Canada - hot! (Cold is ok, but hot is superior! I can really taste the blueberry more) but everything is wonderful! Try some of their baked goods or their lunches. Very reasonable prices. They also sell their teas by the bag!! The staff is ALWAYS incredibly welcoming and kind. It's not crowded, though it sits so conveniently in Castle Rock's downtown. There's outdoor and indoor seating, and even a little event venue you can rent! Steampunk decor is very fun and unique. Everything is always spotless clean. Overall, 100/10 - would highly recommend, even if you're not a tea connoisseur! I will definitely return.

STAR #1: Location is prime, parking is decent and the space itself is cool. Seating is both indoor and outdoor (via huge tent) and vibes are on point. Decked out in a steampunk theme, the space screams cool, interesting, and is a talking piece in itself. So fun! STAR #2: Inventory is insane, ample and so fun to seek out, smell and sample! Upon entry, is a welcoming shelf filled with different teas! We sniffed our way through, asking questions to the staff and they were so welcoming and friendly! STAR #3: The drink menu is fun - allowing for all kinds of hot and iced beverages and unique! My husband opted for a hot orange tea - with just the right amount of sweetness. I landed on an iced peach tea latte, with fresh peach puree and YUM! so refreshing and delicious! STAR #4: Prices are on point for the quality and quantity! Locally made items are for sale and definitely a fun way to shop local! I know we'll return!

Seemed mostly families and my friend mentioned something about people doing bible study. Coffee was okay and the burrito was pretty not okay, but all in all it was okay. Didn't like that everything was on throw away products. I like my food on real plates and in real cups if I am paying to eat there. Likely won't be returning here since it didn't seem it was worth the drive out here.

The service was also great, 5 stars there. My drink, however, not so great. I ordered the cornbread latte (specialty drink). It sounded so unique and they make homemade syrup with jiffy mix! The flavor was not really there for me. It was kind of...crumby still? And the flavor I could taste was good but I think it needed more syrup. For such an expensive drink, I don't think this place is my new spot. I may come back to try something else in the future out of convenience alone.

Darwin's chocolate mousse a few months ago was an impressive dessert! It appears everyone is very well trained before they step out into the "front of the house." I've never had any issues with the food or the service. This café is nestled among the shops in the Emporium which makes it a fantastic location! If you find yourself in Castlerock and would like to be pampered by some very dedicated and kind folks... Stop in to the best buddies café! They also have fantastic dog treats!

The tea selection is very broad, as is the lunch menu. The food was amazing. Everything is homemade and delicious! From the mushroom soup to the quiche, the Monte Cristo sandwich and the scone, every bite was divine! Each room is decorated differently and the tea cups are beautiful. My aunt and I enjoyed every minute of our time there and are looking forward to returning!

I have had lunch here and the high tea. I prefer the high tea because you get such a wonderful variety of foods. The owner, Christine, is friendly and very attentive and goes out of her way to make sure that each customer is happy. The place setting and individual tea cups are unique. There is a large variety of teas to choose from. I highly recommend Carriage Shoppes Tea Room!

LaLa's is a favorite pit stop of mine. I usually opt for their Cortado because it's that good. I…read morelove the setup of the place. Parking is a little wonky. You're lucky if you get a space in front of or near their front entrance. There is a parking lot located behind or adjacent to the Pizza Hut. The only drawback for me is the dining room is often filled with patrons and the noise level isn't favorable. Hence why I usually opt for a to go beverage and a pastry. They have great fresh baked pastries. Staff is always friendly. Sometimes their staff can learn to speak up and to speak with confidence. It doesn't take that to get my beverage and be on my way. I also like how this coffee shop is relatively close to I-25. So if you're traveling up or down 25, consider this place a pit stop. Also, I like their gift shop. It's setup near the register. So when you're waiting in line it gives you an opportunity to browse items, pickup a bag of coffee or other item before ordering. Looking forward to my next visit!

The ambiance is really charming with a ton of cute decor and Christian music playing in the background. There is a ton of both indoor and outdoor seating options. We ended up trying half a dozen each of the Sunday Brunch (lemon curd and blueberry), the Kennedy (cinnamon sugar and apple pie filling) and the flavor of the month which was a take on bananas foster with fresh bananas and caramel drizzle. The cold brew jars are a great idea and were fresh and had great flavor. We will absolutely be back! We love supporting local businesses and we will definitely recommend this place.
