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.

The sandwiches included cucumber & cream cheese, egg salad, and chicken salad. The sausage rolls were amazing!!! I've never had a sausage roll before. The clotted cream was yummy. The scones were perfect - good flavor and texture. The food portions were generous. I thought the pricing was fair. The ambiance shouldn't be compared to the castles. They're just different styles and should be enjoyed as such. There was a young woman playing the harp which was so beautiful. I enjoyed her selection of music. Such a nice touch. Again, we couldn't have asked for better service. Highly recommend.

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.

This review is solely about my tour experience. I did not do tea…read more I discovered this property unexpectedly while traveling through Colorado Springs. I live in Denver and had no idea this spectacular place was here. I signed up for a last-minute tour on a Thursday afternoon. The whole experience from start to finish was very memorable. My tour guide David was exceptional. One of the best tours I've ever had, honestly. He was passionate, knowledgeable, friendly, and kept a great pace for a group of 24. The only turnoff for me was the heavy religious undertones. I understand this is part of the property's history, but it was everywhere from the gift shop to the check in desk, quotes on trails, etc. As a non-religious person, it felt pushed and unnecessary. Also, if you're physically able to, take an extra 2 hours and hike the property. It's breathtaking. And they have hammocks to lay in- great touch. I would definitely revisit this whole experience again.

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.

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 :)
