    If you're in Downtown Denver and craving boba or poke, Tea Cloud may be the spot you're looking for. Looking for a morning pick me-up, we stopped by for some tea with boba. The staff was friendly and accommodating and even adjusted the sugar level to our likeness. We ordered hot black tea, matcha almond latte, and strawberry with lychee for the kids. They even gave us extra in a small cup because they made a little more. And the kids received complimentary madeline cookies. We didn't end up getting poke, but they had a variety of fish options and toppings to choose from.

    Was looking for boba tea in Denver. Found this place where the owner was super friendly and made sure that the tea was made to order. Got a poke bowl as well for lunch. The tea and boba was freshly made and was tasty. The shop was nicely decorated with some quiet seating in the store.

    The sunrise paradise with light sweetness and boba was amazing. I really appreciate how they let you taste your drink and modify it before making it. It is a great boba spot in Denver!

    Strawberry matcha

    This place was a short walk from my hotel, so I decided to head over for some matcha! Originally I thought I'd try one of their other teas, but ultimately ordered a strawberry matcha. Madelyn was very patient with me as I decided, and even mentioned the flavors that are puréed in house. Before finishing my matcha, she handed me a sample and asked if the sweetness was okay (very kind of her!). I would absolutely come back here on another visit to Denver.

    FOOD Build your own Poke Bowl: Medium Salmon, cucumber, seaweed salad, red onion, Masago, cucumbers, nori crisps, spicy crab salad, furikake, onion crisps topped with House sauce, spicy Mayo, and sesame oil. The rice ratio was perfect and the poke was really good. Probably one of the top places I've been to in my life for poke. Rice to ratio portion also spot on. They are very generous with the portion sizes. Fresh ingredients and very good! VIBES Pretty casual place. There's no ramps for accessibility though which was a downside. There's tables and chairs for seating and a long bench for sitting. Pretty crowded place with limited seating but most people just grab and go. SERVICE Service was great! It's nice that there's a discount for medical professions and students. They also give you samples of the drinks to try.

    Also ventured into Tea Cloud during the past week. It has been in the red sandstone Boston Building for more than 10 years, probably longer than most of the other boba shops in town. The street art decor was kind of audacious, but the overall ambience was modern and cozy. They could serve their boba drinks in cold brew, vegan, ice, blended or hot and also served a varieties of loose leaf teas. They used jasmine green for most of their one of the kinds boba teas mixed with fruits and flowers. For the more adventurous and creative, customers could also mix and match their own flavors. Before they prepared the drink, they would mix a sample for customers to taste whether the sweetness and flavor were as expected. They prepared their boba in house and cooked it to the desired texture and consistency, so the boba was well done, chewy and lightly sweet. Besides the drinks, they also served freshly prepare pokes. Ordered their Sunshine Paradise, which mixed jasmine green tea with whole milk, mango juice, peach juice and boba. The drink was well balanced between the flavors of the green tea and the juices, with a light tea and fruit aroma. Quite different from the taste of other boba drinks I was used to, but very refreshing. Yes, the boba was indeed chewy but not half done or sticky. Glad to have this specialty boba shop right at the Central Business District.

    I'm upping this place to 5 stars because the more I come, the more I see how much they show that they care so much about their business and customers. They're experiencing some sort of family emergency but remain open and trying very hard to provide the best business to every individual customer. You may get a number when you're here, but rest assured, you're not just a number to them.

    Food: I showed up for lunch one day during work. Ordered a "build your own" poke bowl. The fish and ingredients were fresh. You got to choose 4 toppings but apparently you can't have two crab toppings without being charged extra. The small pile bowl was pretty small -- a little too small for the price but really delicious. I also ordered a "peachtini" boba. Apparently it was a vegan option, which was fine for me but my biggest complaint was she asked if I wanted milk and I said sure just regular milk. She said no it's vegan so you need to choose one of the milk alternatives. I chose almond milk and then was charged $.75 or a dollar extra for it. I don't understand why it's specifically a vegan option but then I'm charged extra for the milk I need to choose. Didn't love that. They do you have a pretty cute interactive thing with the bobas where they make the drink and then give you a little taster sample so that you can request it to be sweeter or not. Also very very expensive. I know poke isn't cheap but woof - $27 for the boba and a tiny small poke. I will be back but probably not for the $8 boba.

    Taro Milk Tea
    Stefanie C.

    Holy crap. I read a few reviews saying this is some of the best boba in Denver. I was immediately skeptical, especially after paying $10 to get Taro Milk Tea. That's INSANE!! But this really IS some of the best boba I've ever had. Made with condensed milk, there was a perfect amount of ice, and the boba itself was fresh. They gave me a sample before finishing the drink, which is a great way to make sure customers are happy. Service is great, and I would happily but brudgingly come back again for more.

    Boba menu

    I decided to explore downtown Denver and I came across this boba spot. I always want boba so I decided why not. The service is exceptional. It was two people but they are so personable and told me all their tea is in-house. James made my hi chew drink and let me taste it before I got it. He asked me if I wanted sweet or less but it was perfect. They don't use fructose and I could tell. To make it less sweet they would add more tea than diluting it with more milk like some other places. I love popping boba. They have lychee, mango, and strawberry. I didn't know which one and they put all three and it wasn't even a lot of boba but the right amount. I do plan on coming back tomorrow to try their food items. James said the bulgogi is really good. It's his grandma's recipe. Also, he recommended the salmon poke bowl. They import their fish from a really good place. I don't remember from where. I wished I was hungry to eat now.

    Large Build a Poke Bowl Large. Spicy tuna, tuna, salmon. White rice. Cilantro. Crispy onion. Furikake. Red flakes. And crab!

    I've been here a couple times now and their poke is so tasty! Fish seems fresh. Ingredients are refreshing. And just the right amount of flavor. The flavor is just enough to satisfy, but not enough to overpower your fish and other toppings. Love it! Generous portions as well! I recommend having their milk tea boba as well. They have a few really great options and they do a taste test before they mix the whole drink. So you can taste it. Make sure the tea is good for you. Make sure the sweetness is just right. And then they will complete your drink from there. Really unique. But makes sure it's right every time! Absolutely love this place. Very very nice staff. The owner (I'm assuming the owner, or manager) is so sweet. Her employees are amazing and very helpful. Love it. I am visiting Denver. But you can be sure every time I come back. I'll be trying to grab lunch here! Thank you for the good food!

    Tofu Signature Bowl
    Sapphire M.

    As usual, I was looking for a good boba spot and saw that Tea Cloud also had a good food menu. I recently cut out seafood, so I was happy to see they had tofu as a vegetarian replacement in their poke bowls. You can build your own bowl, but I ordered their signature firm tofu bowl and a hot Jasmine Dream tea. They offer the option to sear the tofu for an extra dollar, and it's absolutely worth it! The bowl was loaded with protein and veggies. Not only was the food amazing, but the customer service was top-notch. James even gave me a sample of my tea to see if it was sweet enough (it was, but I never say no to more sugar). After ordering, they bring the food out to you when it's ready. Drinks can be picked up at the counter. Overall, great value and quality ingredients!

    taro whole milk black tea w/ tapioca pearls

    Got a whole milk taro boba w/ black tea. Soo tasty just the way they made it, but they let me try it first anyway to make sure it was perfect! Service was very impressive and vibes were immaculate. Highly recommend.

For the price, the quality here is genuinely good, and I really appreciate that they have a sampler table set up.

As for the shop itself, checkout was fast, and there were two helpful employees working up front if I needed any assistance.

The location is in a historic building, so it's got a lot of visual interest, but it's also in the center of the sort of lobby area (not sure what to call it) and a bit tightly packed, so it also feels pretty exposed to whatever noises are going on, which isn't my favorite type of setting, but is certainly unique and would be enjoyable for those who don't mind. There was definitely a tour of the building that occurred during part of our tea, which brought some extra background noise, but not egregiously so. There was live piano for a time, as well, which was lovely, and the servers were quite nice. The tea service itself was good--my friend had called ahead and made the arrangements as she (being the local) was more familiar etc., and they were able to provide a vegan set for me and a gluten-free set for her (plus the normal set for her friend), and we all enjoyed the snacks. No idea if they are able to accommodate both vegan and gluten-free, but they might. Nothing was a standout to me, but I also liked everything on my tier well enough, which is itself an accomplishment. The tea was good as well, but as is typical in afternoon tea places, most of the variety comes from flavored teas, so if you prefer unflavored, your choices will be more limited (but there are still a handful to choose from). Overall, a really nice afternoon tea experience (if a bit on the expensive side), just be aware that if you have any dietary restrictions, arranging ahead by at least a day seems to be a must.

So make sure to plan accordingly if you would like the holiday afternoon tea November through January I did go on to open table and there was a cancellation which was relatively easy and straightforward to book. As a guy that never had afternoon tea, you definitely want to dress up. Atmosphere wise it's 90% women with maybe 10% families. I would absolutely recommend it if you have 4-Year-Olds and up. I got the signature experience which was $95 that includes 1T selection, a set of scones, finger sandwiches, and then desserts, and it also has an included menu. That's a little more robust. In hindsight, I probably would have stuck with just the classic. The signature was great but the classic is so filling. It's kind of Overkill. For the classic they even offered extra sandwiches. I noticed most other tables seem to enjoy their tea and the scones and maybe one set of sandwiches and then took the second set of sandwiches and desserts to go. I think I would have taken that route the next time. If you've never gone to afternoon tea, I'd recommend watching a short YouTube on proper etiquette, there is some pretty interesting information on the difference between high tea, low tea, and if you're supposed to be using a knife on your scone or breaking it with your fingers spoiler alert, you are supposed to break it. During the holidays the decorations are fantastic and perfect photo backdrop. Ultimately a really good experience and I'm looking forward to going again

We visited the day after Valentine's and things were still decorated for the holiday. The staff is very welcoming and we were soon seated after needing a bit of help with the Parkwell Web site. The rules for afternoon tea were quickly explained. Each person receives an individual pot of tea and can order as many different flavors/varieties as they wish to try. A traditional, vertical rack for each couple contains two plates of sandwiches, a plate of scones, and a plate of cookies and petit fours. This is a lot of food. We received three sets of sandwiches including turkey, cucumber, and curried chicken salad plus a bruschetta. These were all delicious, particularly the bruchetta which had a great mix of flavors. I love scones and we received both a strawberry and a traditional one with a plate of ramekins containing jam, clotted cream, and lemon curd. Very authentic and very tasty. Tea service included three timers to ensure the perfect steeping time, a plate on which to place the tea leaf basket after steeping, a strainer for each cup, and a little container to hold the strainer. Just be sure to keep a finger on the tea pot lid when you pour! We were stuffed at this point, so we only nibbled a bit of the chocolate petit four and were given a beautiful box in which to take home the balance of the desserts. We even each received a final cup of tea to go! Service was friendly and efficient. This is a great experience for my fellow lovers of afternoon tea and very authentic. We enjoyed every bit of it. The shop offers nearly 100 tea varieties plus cocktails, wine, and champagne. There's a happy hour from 4pm to 6pm daily. There's also a café menu if you don't want the full tea service and they love to host special events.

The decor strikes a balance between warm and minimal: nothing generic, nothing overdone. The coffee program is serious.

It's one of those places worth the detour even when you don't have a specific reason to be in LoDo.

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 place is not for everyone and that is honestly part of the appeal…read more I came alone and was seated right away, most likely because it is a small space. The hostess or employee sat me down, and I took a seat at the bar. I was immediately given water and a menu, which felt easy and welcoming. This is not a "background music while you catch up" kind of bar. The music is the experience, inspired by Japanese listening bars. The sound is intentional, the vinyl selections feel curated, and the space encourages you to slow down and be present. Located in the Arts District of the Santa Fe neighborhood, ESP HiFi is walk in only, so arriving early is a good idea since it fills up quickly. The menu includes seasonal cocktails, highballs, natural wine, warm drinks, non alcoholic options, and small bites, with tastings focused on Japanese whiskey and mezcal. I had a walnut mezcal based cocktail, and ordered olives and Marcona almonds as a snack, all of which fit the vibe perfectly. They also offer a daily happy hour or "social hour" from 4 to 5pm. It was also fun watching the mixologist seamlessly switch between making drinks and DJing, which added to the experience. Yes, it is dark inside, but that is part of the atmosphere. The staff is not overly talkative, but the music is the whole point here, and that focus feels intentional. It is a popular spot and definitely gives hipster energy, but in a self aware, well executed way. If you are expecting a loud, social cocktail lounge, this is not it. If you appreciate good sound and a focused atmosphere, you will enjoy it. Not trying to please everyone. Just doing its thing and doing it well.

We waited only about 10 minutes to be seated at the bar, which already felt like a small miracle for a weekend night in Denver. The interior is dark, intimate, and beautifully understated - romantic without feeling forced. The music (on vinyl btw) is impeccable and intentionally curated, the kind you actually feel, not just hear. Pair that with an excellent wine selection and you've got a space that's clearly designed for slowing down and being present. No distractions, just great sound, great drinks, and great energy. Easily one of my favorite bars in Denver now. ESP Hi-Fi understands atmosphere, and it shows. Already looking forward to coming back!

    Corinne is one of those good go-to spots. When we can't decide where to eat, we know it'll hit…read more This time we sat at the bar for brunch, which we don't do often, and Ryan was our bartender. He set the tone right away! Warm, happy to have us there, easy to talk to. I mentioned to my friend that I was thinking about a bloody mary, and a minute or two later Ryan asked if he should get that bloody started. He'd caught it in passing conversation, not because he was hovering. That's a hard balance to strike and he nailed it all afternoon. The drinks were great. Nothing fancy on my end, a bloody mary, a shaken screwdriver. Not too strong or weak. Sounds simple, but a lot of bartenders can't consistently hit it! We all got eggs your way, simple stuff done well. The roasted fingerling potatoes were crispy outside, fluffy inside, super good!! The strawberry jam was giving homemade, but I didn't confirm. Overall, Ryan made the visit. Calm presence, good company, and there's nothing better than a brunch seat at his bar next to those big open windows!

    First time there to this pretty stylish downtown location inside the Meridien Hotel at 15th and…read moreCalifornia. Great service from Mauricio and felt very well treated. This was just for lunch, but started out sharing the crab croquettes. Fluffy and lightly fried with a perfect mayo-based dipping sauce. A great start. I had the Koji fried chicken sandwich that was very good and we shared a spectacular gooey butter cake with a dollop of vanilla ice cream for a shared dessert. The stand-outs were the crab croquettes and the gooey butter cake. Both were incredibly good. Would definitely return and try some of the more entree-ish looking things for dinner. You should definitely give this place a try. Ciao, David
