I was so impressed with everything at Babe's Tea Room! I planned an event there and they could not have made it easier to book the space and discuss details of what we were needing and wanting. At the actual event, they provided wonderful service, fantastic options of tea and food, and made the whole experience so fun. Highly recommend for tea parties with a group or just to pop in for some delicious tea! read more

I came with a group of 5 for afternoon tea and it was very easy to get a reservation. They called back the next day and asked about dietary restrictions. I appreciate that! We came in and were immediately seated--no problems. We got our tea and then our trays about 10 minutes later. The food was okay, nothing special. The cucumber sandwiches were mostly cream cheese, which was disappointing. The scones, however, are amazing and I highly recommend them. My best friend could not stop eating them! The clotted cream was weirdly crumbly, though, and I was confused if it had gone bad. On the website, it says served with unlimited tea, but no one came back to check if we wanted more tea and each person ended up getting one pot of tea, which was a little disappointing. I had the white lavender tea and it was amazing from the first cup, but was bitter by the second cup because it had over steeped. There were loose leaves floating in the tea and I think that if they put their leaves in a little mesh strainer ball, it would make more customers happy. No one likes a bitter tea. Overall, our party left feeling disappointed with the food and the service. I brought my friends and one of my friend's mom and I was slightly embarrassed to have brought her to such a place. We all agreed that we need to take her to Capital Tea. It is a nice, relaxing afternoon tea with plenty of tea variety, an attentive server, and amazing food at Capital Tea. It's much better and they steep the perfect pot every time. It's never bitter and you can try as many as you want. The owner is an absolute ray of sunshine as well. Maybe their other food off the menu is okay, but for afternoon tea, give this one a pass and head over to Capital Tea read more

UPDATE: since a new owner has taken over I've noticed such a positive change. I enjoyed the English tea room vibes but the staff was a weak point for me. Now the vibe has changed and I love what she's done (change can be good!!) and the staff has been so attentive and sweet. 5 stars service!! Thank you for your attention to detail, Allison! read more

The customers service was below average, especially under these COVID circumstances, I would have expected a cleaner environment. Not mention there was a bug in my food, and the servant was not polite about the replacement of the food. Also the lady who attended us was very rude when we asked her questions. She would answer us like if we were stupid, which I believe was because of the way we looked(different ethnicity) I would NOT recommend this place. read more

Poor experience here. We had to convert our in restaurant tea to a to-go tea but were still charged the $35 instead of $30. Then when we got back to our hotel room we found half of the food items missing! I called and the woman did offer to refund part of the bill, but didn't actual refund it until I had to call again 3 days later after not hearing anything. Definitely not worth the price, $4 for a white crust less bread sandwich with scant filling? The scones were dry, the pastries were TINY, and I can't comment on the macarons since I didn't get any. read more

We decided to check out this place for a little afternoon tea and we were pleasantly surprised! All of the finger foods were delicious! All of the little tea sandwiches were very tasty. We asked for recommendations for the tea and we were not disappointed! The staff was amazing and very knowledgeable with their tea recommendations! The floral decor is so adorable and fun! Would recommend without a doubt. We plan to bring my family and friends when they visit! Thank you for an amazing experience! read more

Loved the whole high tea experience! It was about $26/person, and for that, you got to choose your own tea and also got a tray full of pastries, scones, and sandwiches. I loved everything that I tried, but I loved the scones and clotted cream & lemon curd! - reminded me of my study abroad days in London! We made a reservation since we had a party of 9, and everything went smoothly. I would highly recommend making reservations for larger parties, as the place is pretty small and most of the tables fit 2-4, so they had to put tables together to accommodate our larger group. JFYI, they take $10/person deposit for the reservation, but that can be returned to you or applied to the total tab. read more

Visited yesterday to celebrate my sister's birthday - had the Balmoral - smoked salmon, cream cheese spread and cucumber. It was a double decker so I removed the middle slice of bread to save room for dessert. Served with a side of "crisps" The owner is very pleasant and warm. The tea service was delightful and the little touches of crisp linens and doilies made it feel elegant but not stuffy. At the end we had tiny, tasty pink frosted cupcake that the owner brought out with a candle - very much appreciated. read more

Babe’s Tea Room - Tea Rooms Near Me - Denver, Colorado

Pro: pastries and finger sandwiches were tasty. Very impressive selection of teas available. The cream and jam were also delicious. Con: service was surprisingly terrible. Looked like they were understaffed so the server seemed highly stressed. Had to flag down servers to get water, milk and sugar. And were basically met with the sense that we were bothering the server whenever we had a request. Helpful info: There is construction on the street so finding street parking will be difficult. Expect to park in lots either behind the store or close by for $5 all day fees on weekends. Reservation is only available if you order the full pre-fixe afternoon tea set for each guest. You don't get to pick from the menu. You only get to pick the pot of tea. (Whoever took our reservation did not note this on the phone.) You can switch the tea variety as many time as you want during your tea service. If you want to make any requests, you have to let them know when you make the reservation before you arrive. (The employee wouldn't pass on a guest's request on the day of.) Price was reasonable for a tea place. But afternoon tea is an outing where you go to relax and take it slow, and on that end this place did not deliver. read more

I came here for lunch on a weekend with my mom, we ordered tea and salads and sat outside. The tea and salads were very good, however the service was very slow. We waited a really long time to get everything. Once we finished our meal, we were just ready to pay and leave. We sat with the credit card on top of the bill for nearly 20 minutes. Finally, my mom had to take the bill inside with her credit card and find someone to give it to directly. They were crowded, and I try to be understanding, maybe I went on a day that they were short staffed, although they seemed to have enough people working. I will give them another chance because the tea and food was very good and I like to support my Platte Street businesses. I would suggest making reservations no matter how small or large your party size, the space is very limited in the restaurant. read more

The food was good, a solid four stars. And the tea was fine. I feel like I go to tea houses for the atmosphere and to socialize with my friends. They really didn't want us to socialize? It was very odd.I'm not quite sure why, but I and my four friends were treated as if us being there for our reservation was an inconvenience? The server was condescending and inconvenienced which was odd since they consistently had 1 or 2 tables that were the same size and empty. I love tea rooms but I don't feel like I'm welcome to come back so I wouldn't go back and wouldn't recommend it to a friend. 3 stars read more

My wife wanted to try a tea house so she decided on this one. We went one nice spring day for afternoon tea when neither of us had anything else to do. I had a mango tea and she enjoyed a green. Both were very good and light. Some places have teas that overwhelm you with flavor and some seem to have almost no flavor at all. The teas we had seemed to have the perfect balance. We also had the finger sandwiches and scones. Unfortunately for me I do not like mayonnaise and the sandwiches seemed to have too much of it. After scraping as much of it off as possible I admit the sandwiches were tasty. I really enjoyed the scones, which were also not overwhelming with sweetness but just enough to satisfy my sweet tooth. Our overall experience was good, the staff was friendly and helpful and the place was airy and light. Since then my wife has gone back several times without me :-( I guess I'll get back there soon enough. read more

I've been coming to House of Commons for the last few years with a friend, and we've always had an amazing time. The tea selection is wide and the assortment of food for high tea cannot be beat. I've had high tea in Ireland and London, and what you get at House of Commons is very similar. Service has always been prompt and cordial. Yesterday we had my baby shower here, and it was exceptional! We had about 20 people and the servers were wonderful, the food was delicious, and the atmosphere was perfect. We had several vegetarians in attendance and the staff made sure they were provided with an assortment of vegetarian options. Everyone left very happy! read more

This place is too cute! Come in and get high tea to be shared among your group of friends. Or they have a teapot special that is accompanied with any flavor scone! The scones come with jam and clotted cream and omg yesssss amazing. I got just this and I was not disappointed. Definitely come here!!! read more

I went on a Saturday; beautiful day with a bit of cloud cover. When I walked in, every table was full. My to be server, Ashley, greeted me with a smile and let me know right away that if I'd like a table, inside would be 45 minutes or so but outside was open, I chose outside and was given a tea list. Upon inspection, the amount of variety of tea is pretty damn good, although I wish there was more selection of green and white teas. After my meal I chatted with the wonderful servers, Ashley and Taylor, for a few minutes. They were very sweet. I will definitely come back, although I suggest during the week when they are a little less busy. read more

Came here on two different occasions. Once for just a cup of tea and sandwich, the other was for afternoon tea. The first time, I had a great 5 star experience. My cucumber sandwich was divine and my tea was great (Vanilla black tea). The next time was good but not as great. We went for afternoon tea and the food tower was beautiful and delicious! However, they put the black tea directly into the tea pot and it continues to steep until you have drank all the water. This means that the tea becomes very bitter and too strong towards the end. Because of that I would give the afternoon tea 3 stars. If they could figure how to not have the tea steeping the whole time, the afternoon tea would be 5 stars. read more

Overall, I was pretty disappointed in the afternoon tea "experience." My party of four was seated 15 minutes after our reservation time. The service was very slow for what I believe to be a pretty simple task. The tea selection is amazing, but the sandwiches were pathetic, underfilled, and bland. The tiny scones were stale and cold with miniscule toppings (cream, jam, curd). I didn't get the sense that any of the pastries were homemade. I've had some brilliant afternoon tea experiences in England and Dubai, and this was an expensive knock off. My whole party was a little annoyed to pay $30+ each for hot water and poor food/service. Also, I am SO glad we did not have the misfortune of being sat outside on a plastic picnic bench next to parked cars. That's unacceptable. read more

Our experience at Babe's tea room was mixed. The tea room is beautifully decorated and the food was tasty. We especially appreciated the vegan and gluten free options they offer. We thought the tea was weak-tasting across the board and speculated that maybe it wasn't fresh. Perhaps their biggest blunder was seating us 30 mins after our reservation, despite making it clear that reservations only last 90 mins. They gave us complimentary mimosas as an apology for their tardiness. Once we were seated, our server was exceptionally kind and attentive, even taking the time to write down the ingredients in their curry for us. The price of tea is comparable to the Brown Palace, but the quality is somewhat lacking by comparison. I would say that this tea room is better suited to people who like Instagram than people who like high tea. read more

We did a delivery order for our mom's bday and it was super disappointing (especially for the price). The scones were dry and salty and there was a very small amount of clotted cream and jam. We used to visit when it was House of Commons for birthdays and Mother's Day, but likely won't in the future. read more

I stumbled upon this cute little tea shop as I was walking around the area finding time to kill until the sushi restaurant opened for dinner. I'm so glad I found this place! It was a random Saturday and it was snowing and windy outside so I could not have found this place at a better time. This place is a small, and casual, and the ambiance was quiet so the overall experience was relaxing. They have pastries, finger food, and teas that could be ordered by the pot, or pay a set price and get unlimited pots of tea. I payed for the unlimited tea and used the opportunity to try many different teas I was curios about, but have not had the chance to try before. The service was fast, the waitress was helpful in recommending teas, and an all around wonderful experience. I will definitely be back. read more

Waste of find. Terrible customer services. Went there Saturday around 2pm & they stated they didn't have any openings till 5:30pm. We asked if there were any tomorrow, in which they replied "plenty". We got a reservation for 2 at 2:30pm. We showed up 5 minutes early & there were 3 open tables at the times, one for 8 people and two for 2 people. They sat the TWO of us at the 8 person table right smack in the middle of the cafe. When I sat down I felt SUPER uncomfortable & anxious as we were in view of everyone at the cafe. Two people. At an eight person table. When we asked if we could move to another table for 2 people on the edge of the restaurant the lady said "doubt it" then never got back to us. 5 minutes later two more "couples" come in & were sat at the two tables they stated we weren't "allowed" to sit at. We stood up & left. read more

I am so grateful to the staff of this lovely place! We walked nearly a mile over snow and ice in 18 degree weather from our hotel to eat at a nearby restaurant, who closed unexpectedly due to the storm without any announcement. Bewildered, we checked Uber and Lyft and saw it'd be a long wait for both, so thankfully we stumbled into this haven. We only ordered tea as we waited for our driver, but it was lovely. The tea was delicious, the service superb, and they probably saved us from frostbite. Please support this wonderful business!!! read more

Babe’s Tea Room - Raspberry herbal tea. - Tea Rooms Near Me - Denver, Colorado

I wanted to like this place soooo much! However, it was just "meh". I also felt manipulated a bit. I made a reservation and was told it was "required" that all tables on the weekend do a full tea service. Quite pricey, but I figured ok at least we get to try several teas. When I got there it was very clear that not everyone had to get full tea service. The table next to us just had 2 scones. That was pretty dishonest. We probably would have done it for the experience anyway but that made us feel manipulated. The teas are great, which is why the 3 stars. The server must have been having an incredibly bad day. She was sarcastic, ignored us and pretty rude several times. We were told we could get different teas but she ignored us when we requested a different tea but up a good 20 minutes later. There were only 2 occupied tables in the place so not sure what her problem was. The bread was also very stale on the tea sandwiches. Normally wouldn't care, but at almost $50 a person, at least have fresh bread? Wouldn't go back, but I hear there are other places in town to try, I'll keep trying! read more

I really wanted to write a good review for Babes, but due to the poor service, I can only give Babe's 2 stars. I made a reservation for Friday, December 17th. The reservation was confirmed on Thursday, December 16th. When we arrived, I was told that there were no tables available, but if we wanted to we could sit outside. I looked around and said these table are available and the woman said they are reserved. I said I have a reservation and you confirmed it yesterday so wouldn't one of these tables be for my party. She said, sorry, there is nothing I can do for you. REALLY!! In my book that is just terrible. We didn't walk in off the street looking for seating. There is a long table in the middle of the room and the woman said you can't have this table (i wasn't asking, as it seats 8) so you can sit outside or we can't accomodate you. I was so looking forward to having tea here as I had heard from a friend of mine who is from England that it is the closest to a tea room in England in the Denver area. We finally did get a table, but when we were told that they had run out of plates, silverwear, and that the dish washer had to take our order. This whole experience was disappointing. I was so hopeful that this experience would be better than my experience at the Brown Palace (over priced for sure). The scones were ok, nothing to rave about which I was hoping to do. I was dreaming of a great scone and devonshire cream and what I got was a sour taste I my mouth of poor customer service, and the fact that they seemed to blame me for their lack of planning. read more

Had afternoon tea with my sister in law last week. The location was close to a parking garage which is very convenient, and the place itself is inviting and has great light inside. There's lots of lovely flowers outside as well which is a great way to get into"teatime" mode. The offerings were scones, tea sandwiches and a couple of macarons and biscuits, they were tasty but didn't blow me away or anything. The bread seemed borderline stale but surprisingly the scones were delicious... and I hate scones lol. The tea I had was very good as well as the bubbly we ordered. As friendly as our server was we found the service to be lacking unfortunately. We had to remind them of our drinks and we never got the waters we asked for even though I saw other patrons being given water almost as soon as they sat down. Our bill was over $100 for some okay tea and snacks and subpar service. Would I recommend? If you have some cash to blow on a bougie tea afternoon sure go for it, just don't expect to much. read more

I've been looking forward to dining here for a long time and had a reservation at 4:30 pm today. I arrived 10 minutes early to check in and was told our table would be ready in 15 minutes and to expect a text message. 15 minutes pass and I didn't receive a text. I understand this is a hotspot so I asked what the wait would be. This woman tells me an additional 10 minutes. I check in again after 12 minutes and requested an honest wait time. Whether it be another 15-30 minutes I wouldn't mind, but she was rude. She gave me an attitude and said there were 4 tables ahead of me. I'm a half black and Japanese, I see another party of POC's standing outside in the cold. I just don't trust the sincerity of this business and how non POC people were the only ones seated. If you're looking to support a local business that respects your time as you do theirs, this is not the one. read more

Extremely disappointed in our lunch at Babes Tea Room, mediocre at best and extremely expensive for what we got. Firstly, myself and my 6 sisters had reservations at 1p. we had hoped to be seated outside but were told that a party of our size could not be accommodated on the patio, but when we got to the restaurant, there were 3-4 tops and a table that could have seated at least 6, outside, we are small in stature and could have easily sat the 7 of us. We asked again when we got there and were told that the tables were reserved, not true. The tables sat vacant the entire time we were there and all that needed was to pull 2 tables together but the staff put a kibosh on us sitting outside. no customer consideration at all, it wasn't right. even though there were 4 staff at reception, there was only one waitstaff working. it wasn't busy. again, a real lack of respect and customer courtesy. Also, the dining room was loud and not special. White walks, white tables, a very sterile feeling. And one sister was seated in front of a wall column, c'mon people, show a little decency. Secondly, it is a tea room and there were lots of teas to try, but believe me, there's only so many teas you can try at one sitting. that really wasn't an issue, the real problem was that because there were 7 of us, we were told we couldn't order off the menu (and had some enticing choices,) we could only be served the Afternoon Tea at $39 per person! Very pricey for what you get. 4 types of tea sandwiches, none of which were very good. Tasteless and uninspired. Then 2 choices of mini scones, one bite and I almost choked because the scone was very dry. Then a small assortment of cookies, again not good, nothing we ate was special, edible but not particularly good. Other than the bottomless pots of teas, which we tried a total of 7 different pots, one of us ordered a glass of wine. So other than tea and some tea sandwiches, some scones and some cookies, that was our lunch, boring really. Thirdly, our tab with tax and tip ($60,) was $360!!! For tea and some measly sandwiched a cookies, I was shocked. Never again, staff was rude and unaccommodating (our waitress was okay,) and the price was outrageous. Don't bother, don't go. read more

Came here for brunch with a friend and had a lovely experience! House of commons is quite quaint- with only half a dozen or so table it is small yet cozy. The whole atmosphere is very relaxing and during that day it was particularly cloudy outside which only made it all the more enjoyable as you sat and sipped tea and ate biscuits with very possibly the best Devonshire cream there is. We both ordered the Balmoral Sandwich- SO GOOD! With a pot of tea of course! Service was wonderful- made sure our pot was never empty and also made sure to check up on us and our food. Even though we were stuffed after eating our sandwiches we couldn't pass up on the scones so we got a cranberry and a blueberry scone... My goodness... You can't possibly come here without ordering at least a scone with a side of Devonshire cream. Trust me you'll regret it if you don't! Will definitely come here again- price is reasonable. Overall I think it was about $16/person. read more

A friend and I made a reservation for afternoon tea. As some have expressed, the place is hard to find. Because of the construction going on, it's pretty noisy and the view out the window at the workmen isn't too exciting, but I understand that is not their fault. I guess maybe it was that I had high expectations. I expected a well decorated, quaint looking tea shop. There were a few teapots sitting around but otherwise it looked like an ordinary lunch café. Looking in from the outside I wouldn't have even known it was a tea shop. The tea selection was good. I don't drink hot tea and they did have nice options for iced tea which was nice. The sandwiches were good, but a little dry. I have made and purchased scones many times and different places, I don't know about anyone else, but those "scones" are biscuits to me. The texture is completely different. The clotted cream resembled butter more than clotted cream, but it may just be a difference in tastes. The desserts were very pretty and tasted good. The service was okay but not outstanding by any means. When my friend is in town and we go to tea again we'll try a different spot. read more

On a sunny Sunday we stopped for lunch and ordered quiche, the Balmoral and tea. The tea was nice, with an option for everyone but the single serving seemed overpriced at nearly $5. The quiche was good. The Balmoral had too much cream cheese and the salmon was in large chunks, not delicate slices. And the baguette was more bread than needed. If we return it will be for the Afternoon Tea which most people we saw had ordered. It arrives to the table in a tri-level metal stand and looks like a wonderful selection of delectables. read more

Adds some nice variety to downtown Denver (which already has enough pubs, brew houses and traditional restaurants).

the staff was very rude and ignored us when they had clearly seen us standing there waiting to be seated or to even order. when we tried to ask about the menu and coffee she answered our questions like we were stupid. maybe because of the way we looked or dressed? that may not be the case but it's very hard to not think that way when they seemed to be very cheerful and happy to serve or others, its unfortunate because we were excited to try this place out. definitely will not go back or recommend to others. read more

This tea room is absolutely beautiful with quite a wonderful aesthetic quality. Our waiter was extremely knowledgable about all things tea and introduced us to new teas that we very much enjoyed.

Stars are for the tea and food. That being said, not a good atmosphere to enjoy oneself. I went with a few friends for Sunday tea, but we were treated as if we were not the appropriate crowd. We are all late twenties professionals. Perhaps we were too noisy for the tea house? We were talking as we typically do in a restaurant, but it did seem as though others were whispering when they spoke. If we had been told we were loud, we would have politely quieted down, but it was never mentioned. We w All around, the service was unfriendly to our group- we lingered at our table to socialize and were asked to leave for another reservation when there were plenty of tables available (at least 3 other tables to accommodate 4-5 people). We felt we weren't wanted there, which was unfortunate because it did have lovely tea. read more
