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 is what you want out of a bookstore. Years of pedigree even if it's a space they only moved…read moreinto in recent years. A whole lot of history tied to local teachers and conveyed forward to a well curated store. The overall design is one that I prefer, stocked but uncrowded shelves, clean and easy to browse. Some feature tables and easy to find sections. Used books in the back and a lot of interior space to not be crowded or darkened when exploring the shelves. The type of spot you should patron as a small bookstore supporter.

We came during the week so it was quiet but also thrilled to know they have a weekend storytime option. Storytime itself was great - mix of books and crafts with ample toys for the little ones of varying ages to play with and a huge children's room. Comfy places to sit and read or work abound in Bookies. They even have a coffee machine in one corner that looked like it was open to whomever. Being a bookstore there were of course... Books! I found everything I was looking for and then some (i.e. a fun hat and some puzzles) and bonus points for them having a good amount of bilingual books for the kiddos. So happy to have found this spot and I can't wait to become a regular - both for myself for some "me" time as well as for a fun, safe indoor space for my little one.

A fantastic place for parents, youth and gift givers alike. This store is mostly stocked with…read morechildren's titles, but there is an adult corner to satiate your literary tastes as well. Buy books. Read books. Give books as gifts. In an era of ai-uncertainty, it's never a bad idea to fall back on the time-tested and proven method of book-based learning. It's healthy, enjoyable and always activates corners of your brain leading to increased mental capacity, creativity and thought processes unrelated to what you're reading. I'm a proponent. And, if we all read a little more, it would lead to greater quality thinking, capacities and contributions to the world around us. I recently met someone in their late twenties who said they just started reading. Great idea, but where have you been all this time? Better late than never, I guess. A note to those who don't read, don't read enough or need encouragement. Start small. You don't have to start and finish a tome in a day. 15 minutes here and there is enriching and might commence your literary journey. Anyway the Tattered Cover is a great avenue to your book-loving destinations.

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!

This one has old books, newer books, a large kids section, reference, cooking, every genre you could want. And it's walking distance from my house.

Do recommend shopping here though.
