    Turkey sandwich with brie, chips, and Yellow  Submarine iced tea
    Lauren T.

    Such a lovely spot to unplug! The staff is super friendly and knowledgable about the wide variety of teas (available hot or iced) and there are delicious sandwiches, scones, and other treats available to order. Call ahead if you have a bigger group because downstairs is sometimes used for events and there are only a few tables upstairs. Also allow plenty of time to get the full experience! This isn't a place to pop in and out of quickly if you're dining in. It was worth the wait for our food. My turkey sandwich was so delicious and satisfying. The Yellow Submarine probably would have been more flavorful if I ordered it hot, but I got it iced and it was still refreshing. My sister ordered the Vegan BBQ sandwich and said it was amazing.

    I really can't put into words the amount of love and joy my visit to TeaLee's Teahouse brought me. It was my last day visiting Denver for an extended business trip and I was super hungry but it was Mother's Day and many area breakfast spots were full. I decided on a whim to check out TeaLee's Teahouse. Parking was easy to find, which is a plus in downtown Denver. When I walked in a sweet woman asked if I had a reservation, which of course I did not, but I explained that my flight leaves in a couple of hours and happened to find her spot on Google for black owned areas. As I looked around there were "reserved" signs on all the tables, and she explained they had a special Mother's Day brunch event, and I fully expected to be turned away. However, to my surprise the nice lady seated me. I was approached by another beautiful lady, who took my order. For Mother's Day they had an assortment of quiche and salad available. The place is small so they don't have a major "kitchen". I ordered an amazing cup of Moroccan Honey Chai and their crab and shrimp quiche. While I waited I chatted with the ladies who worked at the store. The food...omg..that quiche was divine. I didn't taste a hint of egg, just loaded with crab and shrimp with a flaky crust. The salad was so simple but refreshing with a bed of mix greens, avocado, mango and pomegranate seeds in a very light dressing. To finish off the plate there were some baked sweet potato chips. Though, it wasn't heavy it definitely was filling. TeaLee's is worth a visit, whether to listen to their live jazz, or poets or just to sit and talk to friends over a shared brew of tea. The ladies who work there make you feel like you are family, their smile and generosity was so appreciated.

    I could have gotten a tea at the conference hotel, but I decided to roam and see what the neighborhood had to offer. What I found is this little shop with a few seats and a long tea menu. I got a chai latte and was given a choice of milk and milk substitute options (with no upcharge it seems). The chai I received ran a bit over the mug they used, but I received the remainder in a second cup. It was a robustly flavored beverage; not overly sweet and possessing a bite that seemed like black pepper perhaps. As I told them, with a good chai you don't necessarily want to know what you're drinking, it's about the discovery. They did have a small food selection, and an abundance of other tea options, and I thought them well worth passing up on the typical tea bags I had at my disposal.

    Amazing service! Awesome food with a wide variety , extremely friendly staff. 10/10 highly recommend! Definitely coming back when back in Denver :)

    First time visiting TeaLee, and I'm a fan. Came for the high tea, and it was very enjoyable. We were offered a choice of either bacon, veggie, or seafood quiche. All of us went with the seafood quiche. Not a crumb was left on anyone's plate. It was so good! The success quiche was accompanied by sweet potato balls and a side salad that had mango, avocado, and pomegranate seeds. The high tea tower consisted of cucumber sanwhich bites with a dollop of pesto and egg salad on crackers, as well as very moist blueberry scones and chocolate mousse flowers. Overall, everyone in my party was incredibly satisfied and delighted by the whole experience. This is now one of my favorite tea places in Denver!

    Such an amazing Mother's Day experience! The food was absolutely fantastic, sweet potato tater tots, the salad had mango, avocado, and pomegranate seeds on it, and the seafood quiche had crab and salmon. It was absolutely to die for and then the amazing delicious teas were fantastic. We got two choices of tea, and then they brought out this lovely tower with the small sandwiches, blueberry scones, and the chocolate mousse. Dessert was mouthwatering & amazing. The customer service was fantastic. The ladies were so friendly and so attentive, and the atmosphere was fun and casual. I cannot recommend this place enough. Please go and enjoy Tealee's. There is a parking lot right across the street where you can buy a parking ticket and it's easy to get to and very convenient.

    Broccoli quiche and salad. The salad dressing had sea salt and was so good!

    My daughter is going to college in Northern Colorado and for her 18th birthday, she wanted to go into Denver. It was my first time in the city. It's our tradition when we are in a new city that we have afternoon tea. We found TeaLee's and made a reservation. TeaLee's serves more than just afternoon tea with sandwiches, scones and treats, they also serve a meal. We had the choice of broccoli quiche or salmon quiche. We both chose the broccoli quiche. Just a note - this is not a place where they rush you through your tea service. Instead, they didn't even start making our quiche until we ordered! They smelled fantastic as they baked and tasted even better. The teas were delicious, and for our tea sandwiches, they were a curried egg salad and cream cheese with cucumber. Both were great! The scones were lovely and seemed just baked too. Thanks for a lovely experience!

    We booked a high tea for six and we had the most wonderful visit. A huge array of tea, sandwiches, quiche and desserts! Highly recommend

    Brunch menu
    Neleh H.

    Adorable homey spot- super glad we came here instead of the chain coffee places near our hotel. Parking was easy peasy Sunday morning right out front. The two Ladies working were welcoming & just lovely. There are tables inside & also some seating outside. Prices are totally reasonable. We had cappuccino & a pot of tea & a couple pastries. Brunch menu looked good & had vegan options too but we didn't have time for a whole meal. Downstairs has books & really beautiful art as well as tables set for use as an event space or small party area. What could've been better? Just a bit MORE- would love to see them expand the bookshop & gift item offerings ( there's some cards & jewelry) Scone was kinda dry. Totally wish I had more time in town to attend an event or try full brunch or afternoon tea set- will be back for that!

    Wow what a cute spot! This black owned tea shop is absolutely adorable! It's got a super sweet vibe with kind staff to match it. Everything that we tasted was decadent! I'm a carbs girl so my favorite was the blueberry scones by far. We were there for a birthday tea so they let us use the entire enclosed basement seating area for the festivities. They even stayed after hours and didn't rush us out of the space. Really great hospitality and great food and tea.

    Do not miss this small gem near downtown Denver! Whether your knowledge of tea is extensive or very basic, the staff seems happy to help you find a brew you'll like. I enjoyed my first matcha, alongside an absolutely delightful salmon sandwich. Allow some time to browse the eclectic book selection, and just enjoy the vibe.

    What a lovely retreat. Totally unexpected that I found this little gem. My scone was delicious and I thought the tea presentation and the table set with linen and fresh flowers was a touch that made the experience special. The staff was kind and friendly. Thank you for my little get away.

    Craft beer
    Dorie B.

    I ended up here by accident, we were looking for a place that was closed and because it was so hot we stopped here for a drink and to cool off. The wonderful lady that waited on us may have been the owner. I had a local craft beer and the purple rain tea infused drink. She took great care in her presentation and the drink was phenomenal. If I lived in Denver, this would be a lovely place to come and do some work, it has that coffee shop vibe. They have a lot of loose leaf tea for sale and pastries too.

    As an out of towner, I love visiting local bookshops. This one had to be one of the cutest I've…read moreseen in a while!! When you walk in, it's full of gorgeous decor and plenty of plants, true to their namesake. There is a lot of places for people to come in and take photos, read, buy books, and enjoy the atmosphere. In the lobby, there is complementary sparkling waters, which I thought was really great as I took my time shifting through the different books. The selection was pretty good. 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!

    Lovely little spot that is not just a book store, not just a gift store, but a community spot with…read morelots of tables in the back. I have wanted to come here forever and would highly recommend coming in for an event over a random Tuesday for the full effect. I will however say, if you're looking for a gift for someone you have come to the right place! Absolutely perfect grouping of things for someone special!

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.
