It's a lot to remember when you've never been, but they do have signs. We were instructed to select 3 different types of teas and then bring the jars directly to the table. You do get charged $5/person for the tea ceremony service. We were to also fill out a card with the type of dimsum we wanted and hand it to a server at the counter before sitting down. The dim sum was decent but I've had better for less. We were a bit disappointed because some of the dishes were overcooked. The service was friendly though, and we had a nice experience when they came to pour our tea. The teas we chose, however, were pretty good! What may have made our experience better is if we were handed a card with the instructions. We did have fun smelling the teas and picking them out. But it was a bit confusing at the start.

We parked, unintentionally, in the back lower level, so entered through the "dungeon," where we met Kelly, the friendly, tiaraed Duchess of the Dungeon. We were early for our seating, so she regaled us with stories of her childhood adventures in the Castle, where she met "residents" (of the spiritual kind). I use a walker, and there is a back staircase equipped with a chair lift--a new experience for me, and much appreciated. The Queen's Parlor Tea Room was tastefully decorated for Halloween. My friend and I donned slightly outrageous hats before we were seated. The china is lovely, small arrangements of fresh flowers are scattered about, and the afternoon light was heavenly. Our server, Kayla, was delightful, dressed in Victorian style. We made our tea selection from the extensive menu: Pecan Caramel for my friend, and Chai for me. Both were delicious, and the tea pots hold four cups, so there's plenty to share. Light Victorian Tea is three courses: Scones, Savories, and Sweets. The selections vary day-to-day, but all is fresh and beautifully presented and delectable. The scones were of generous size and served right from the oven. Yum! We happened to have the room to ourselves, but Kayla didn't rush us. Instead, we were made to feel welcomed guests. The tiny powder room has the lowest toilet I've ever encountered anywhere, but luckily there's a grab rail. It was needed! At the end of our time there, I decided to descend the outside stairs rather than use the chair lift again. Another employee, Kate, obligingly carried my lightweight rollator down for me. Really, it's apparent employees are happy here, and love their Castle. And so did we. I can hardly wait to return.

And it was a bit complicated getting up to the castle, but once we were there, the scenery is amazing and so so beautiful. As soon as you enter the castle, it is old vibes all around. It's so vintage and cute. We got sat early and when we sat down, we realized it was a set menu, which honestly had to be our favorite part. We hate deciding what to eat. Everything they brought out was so delicious and we never waited too little or too long for the next course. The tea was absolutely amazing and even though they're a little portions, I definitely was full and satisfied. We visit the gift shop where if you provide your receipt, you get 15% off your purchase, which I thought was a really really nice touch.

My favorite dishes were hands down the scones. You get to choose 1 tea, and I loved the Sakura cherry rose tea. Pricing is also quite affordable, considering how expensive high tea is usually. It came out as around $50 per person. All around great experience, and you really can't beat the views. It's literally a castle.

They have just about anything you can think of/need in here. I do have to confess I'm somewhat of a beginner so from my point of view I should say, they have everything. To wrap this up the store was absolutely stunning, the lady working that day was wonderful (she even gave me the name of her stylist because I've been looking for someone who can cut curly hair!), and I can't wait to come back again already.

We also got the Olde St Joes and Vanilla Hazelnut Coffee which were both delicious. They had the perfect amount of flavor, it wasn't too sweet but you could taste the difference in each coffee.

The place was POPPING on Friday evening with a long line so I didn't linger but I came back on sat in the AM and it was quiet. If you order tea they do have sweeteners available (monk fruit actually, I had not seen that before!), but they don't do lattes and things of that nature. I was having a stomach ache from eating too much sugar that morning and I got a cup of their peony honeydew tea which I think is new (it was on display when I came in). They prepare the tea bag for you and heat the kettle then you add water and steep your own tea. The flavor was GORGEOUS, I was very very tempted to buy a bag of tea ($12 each I believe) but I had already bought way too much and was trying to travel light - so maybe next time. The cup of tea was $3.50, and it settled my stomach very quickly. The worker who prepped my tea was also super sweet and nice to talk to! And in addition to tea, they did seem to have some other small, gift-y items. I saw a sign advertising afternoon tea as well, and they have large communal tables that invite you to sit and have your tea and study or work or read or just hang around. Overall it's a good thing this tea shop isn't in Austin because I would spend too much money here... it's got such an excellent vibe, I would ABSOLUTELY recommend a drop in to anyone who even remotely likes tea while you're visiting CO springs. It's an absolute gem of a shop :)

It's a walk-up counter with some seating inside, though most of the tables were full when we came through. They have pastries and other things we didn't try.
