English Tealeaves Review

An adorable tea spot with homemade goodies and lunch items!

My husband and I came in for lunch for the first time today, and it was awesome! The inside was adorable and cozy, and felt like a very nice relaxing tea room.

We split a pot of the raspberry black tea, which was delicious, and each got a sandwich. My husband had an apple and cheddar melt (with ham) and a salad, and I had a tuna melt with fruit. Everything was fresh, filling, and delicious!

We will definitely be back soon! #lfthx

Super cute! From out of town and I wish there was one back home!

Love, love, love this tea house! We have been going here for years and adore the staff and service.

I absolutely love Tealeaves! I go at least once a week! Everything on the menu is great, and they know how to make a wonderful cup of tea! Not to mention they have hundreds of tea to choose from. The employees are the nicest people , and they work really hard. It's practically my home away from home!

Relaxing and quiet, in a weird way it reminds me of the central perk from friends but with tea, kind of pricey but in my honest opinion its quiet worth it.

Pricey everything, but tea leaves to buy are tasty.

It took forever to get our sandwiches. They said they were waiting on bread. I actually think they were waiting on it to bake. it was very fresh. There was very little meat on the sandwich. Very disappointed, esp since it came on a baguette. The soup tasted oh so good. I am sure it was high in calories.

Fabulous place to just hang out and enjoy wonderful teas and good food. I love all of their great teas!

This place is fantastic! For my first time going to English Tealeaves, I had a great cup of Hawaiian Pineapple tea, and the staff took the time to explain what exactly I was drinking. Very friendly, attentive and welcoming staff and atmosphere-- I will be coming back!

We enjoyed a quaint brunch for a friends birthday party and the tea set up was very elegant with a little fire to keep your tea warm. Everyone enjoyed the food in the tea options we're fabulous and if you didn't like it she was willing to give you the new choice

I've pretty much been here every day this week. The staff is so nice and helpful, their food is tasty and like what a mom would make. I've tried at least 11 of the teas they offer and they do not disappoint. I highly recommend their smoothies as well, I've never had a more flavorful one in my life.

Loved my experience here. The staff was amazing with their suggestions of the perfect tea. The food was so good! I will be back.

I worked at English Tealeaves for almost 6 years. The staff here is more than just a group of coworkers--they are like family, and they extend that warmth to their regulars. This is not the Brown Palace, so don't expect a grand ambiance. But the cost for the amount of tea and food you get is more reasonable. The international tea selection cannot be beat, there are many options for lunch or for a high tea on reservation, special events like chocolate and tea pairing tastings after hours, and the place is packed with families on Mother's Day! There is also an incredible, always changing selection of merchandise for the tea lover, or the tea amateur. Robin, the manager, is one of the kindest, most hard-working people I have ever met. Michele will teach you everything you never knew you needed to know about tea. I will always recommend Tealeaves to anyone.

Great variety of teas and the customer service is top notch.

This is a great authentic (as far as I can tell) English tea shop. Nice place to have a cup o' tea.

Did not expect to see such great food! Happy to have come across this gem!

I have been a devotee of English Tea Leaves since they first opened.
I always bring out of town guests to visit the tea room and they always say that this is one of the best, if not the best tea room they have ever visited.
You receive a learning experience about tea while there and they always go home with tea as a souvinier as well. And you can't beat their gespacho soup on a hot summer day.
If you appreciate the proper way to prepare tea, you will go to English Tea Leaves
again and again.

Love it! Great service, comfortable place to meet friends

Delicious food and tea! Excellent servers who know about all the available teas! Relaxed atmosphere. Delightful outing

Everything was delicious, my first time having crumpets which were very tasty. The ambiance was perfect.

A relaxing bit of civilization in the middle of Parker. Who would have thought it?

After visiting the UK and getting hooked on afternoon tea, we found a great spot in Parker to have a pot of tea and a scone. Traditional English style food is also available. The atmosphere is bright and modern. And the staff are never over bearing. Great place to have a conversation with a friend or get in a few chapters of the book you just can't find the time to read.

Amazing tea ( I ordered the Dragon Well Green Tea ) loved the tea here and friendly staff as well. For the food I ordered the ham and cheese sandwich. Never thought it gonna taste that good paired with a tea. Feeling little British now after dining experience here. Thanks to Robert for opening such an amazing place here in Parker.

July 30 review: went today with my daughter and had an extremely horrible experience, complete opposite of my previous review, 3 months ago. The menu had a lot of items crossed off, as they had an unusually busy Tuesday afternoon. Items not available: salads, one of the soups of the day, rosemary chicken pot pie. Needless to say, this left little my teenager would eat. When we ordered, the gal behind the counter seemed annoyed at us, especially when we asked what the soup of the day was and that we had an offer we were using. We ordered the hot ham and cheese sandwich and at 25 minutes when the employee walked by she must ve realized we d been sitting there longer than the 17 minutes the menu says to allow for making, as she hurried into the back. She brought us a sandwich that clearly had been sitting and was cold. She told us all items are made to order which is why it took so long....but 25 minutes to make this sandwich is obviously not needed. Will most likely not return after this visit.

First time visiting and won't be our last!! Kim was super helpful, answering all our questions! The menu has nice options and the variety of teas are great! We had the chicken rosemary pot pie and the salted caramel tea, both very good!!

I visited this cafe with my friend who was visiting from England. We spent a small fortune trying as many teas, sandwiches, desserts as possible to see how English they are. Per my English friend, the cucumber sandwich (how much more English can you get than that?) wasn t authentic at all because it was served on a French roll instead of white bread cut diagonally. It also had no butter, which doesn t pass muster either. The battenburg cake was the English equivalent of taking a bite-sized Twinkie and serving it to a non-American while implying that you just baked it yourself. They charged $4 for a 2 cake that had clearly been in a package (with 3-7 others) that all would ve sold in England for the equivalent of $1.50. It was just as preservative-laden as a Twinkie too. The teas were good, but my English friend said no place in England that bothered to bring out leaves and a mug would offer to rebrew the same leaves. All in all, this is an ok approximation of an English cafe and they re counting on no one knowing any better.

This place has been the favorite pplace to go for me and my sister for at least 10 years now. We are on a mission to try every tea flavor they have and their ham and cheese omelet croissant is just perfect every time we get it.

Try the earl grey cream when you go there, now my favorite tea

This place is adorable! Amazing crumpets and superb selections of teas. The soup is hearty and seasoned so well, that you might order seconds! The grilled cheese sandwich is just as delicious as the soup. The whole experience is well worth the modest price!

I have to say.... not my favorite place. The sandwich's and tea were good. The side salad and dressing left A LOT to be desired, as well as the scones. But the part that really disappoints me is the service and atmosphere. Nothing quaint about the place and the tea cups aren't anything special. The service has been disappointing both times I've been in. No big smiles or welcomes. We came in today just for lunch and tea. We wanted to menu at our table to decide what we would like. Well the worker said there weren't enough printed and that we couldn't take the one at the counter..... ok..... it was obvious we needed some advice on what to order... no help....not even, 'let me tell you about some of our teas' .... just no smiles. Instead it seemed like we were just in their way. Anyways, definitely will be exploring some other tea houses in Denver. Bummer cause we are close to this one.

Favorite place to go for lunch, I have been going here since 2008! The ham/egg/cheese croissant is delicious, also love the chai tea smoothie. Had the Russian caravan tea last time I was there and it was also good.

Love their tea choices, love the friendly staff! The food is yummy too! I recommend this place to everyone! You can book a Tea Party ahead of time (complete with tea sandwiches and scones), or stop in for a less formal lunch & tea (Tea Party options as well as soups, salads & sandwiches). The staff is knowledgeable, but don t come here if you are in a rush. ;)

I think the English tea at English Tea Leaves is really some of the best I've ever had. As a regular drinker of Celestial Seasonings, I was quite amazed at the qualities and differences that could be explained by people who really know their tea.

Definitely a nice place to take Mom and Grandma for a special day out.

Yesterday I made a reservation for my wife and daughter to go here. When my wife arrived the shop told her she didn't have a reservation. Not shocking to have a reservation lost, but they worked it out. The hostess then said she had to have a Groupon for the time we attended, which we proceeded to buy, but then she realized my daughter wouldn't have an adult tea and that wasn't the same package, so it wasn't needed. (Groupon to be returned). They sat down and it took over 20 minutes to get the first tea and longer than that to get any snacks and food. What's even more odd is when I made a reservation they told me they prepare the food in advance. All in all it took longer to get to food than they would have liked but my 3-year-old is very patient and enjoyed her undivided attention from my wife. They said the tea was amazing, but the issues with the reservation, buying a groupon that we will have to return, and then waiting about 30 mins for food goes to show that not everyone hits it out of the park every day, every time. Hope things get figured out as these types of places are great and hope to try it out when my daughter is ready to take Dad there.

They have a great selection of tea and the menu is full of delicious items. I love the salted caramel crunch cake and the house dressing on their salads!

I had lunch on the patio earlier in the year, and this week my family had the Holiday Tea as a take-away lunch. Both times everything was absolutely scrumptious! The staff is friendly and knowledgeable, and they packed everything up with More

Loved this place so much the first time came back again. Lunch was incredible, the staff is spectacular and I bought that beautiful black and gold tea set I d been eyeing since my first visit. I ll definitely be back again, so many more menu items I want to try. So, so many more flavors of tea I needed to taste.

Too expensive. Go there for the tea only. Scones rock hard and devonshire cream doesn't resemble
anything that I had in the UK. Tried twice

One of our regular date places when we lived in Parker, and now we drive there from Aurora once a month still. So cute especially on a Saturday morning.

Such a sweet cafe! A wonderful place to sit, relax and enjoy conversation with your girlfriends or daughter. Such a wide menu of teas-you re sure to find something new to try and delight your tastebuds.

Such a cozy, warm and exciting place. Tea was great! Friendly and helpful staff. Cafe is a new FAV

Worked at Tealeaves for a year and absolutely love it! Great quality tea and healthy food, wonderful atmosphere, and Rob and Lynne are amazing! Definitely still one of my favorite places to go!

This place is so cute and the staff is so friendly. The food was delicious, but the main event is definitely the tea! The mango pomegranate was absolutely divine!

My sister and I enjoyed a fantastic afternoon at English Tealeaves. Excellent selection of teas, yummy finger foods, and knowledgeable, friendly staff. They accommodated my little kiddos, and even provided them with tiny tea cups...so cute and very appreciated. I will definitely be returning. It's a great place for conversation, cozy atmosphere, and delicious tea!

My daughters and I love coming here! There are LOTS of herbal tea options and the food is delicious. Very calm atmosphere and we enjoy trying all the different foods.

I took my daughter here for the Royal Tea and we had such a great time! They let us try as many teas as we wanted, the food was excellent, and the server was wonderful. We will definitely go again!

Cute and perfect little spot to enjoy an afternoon lunch and some delicious tea. I would love to bring a friend back with me next time to enjoy:) I loved the glass tables and the server was very kind and helpful. Thank you for a lovely experience! Making tea time important to me:)

Excellent service! So many varieties of tea to choose from. We had the Royal experience and I would highly recommend it.

It is great! Gluten friendly, great service, happy, friendly people. Wonderful selection of tea and accessories. Love going here!

A massive selection of teas and a tasty variety of food. Combine that with friendly, helpful staff and this place is definitely somewhere I will visit often!

Had a lovely birthday lunch and tea celebration for our 92 year old friend. Great coffee (served in French press) and truly exceptional teas; the birthday gal loved the Irish Whiskey Cream Tea. Food was delicious, and grateful for the gluten-free options. See you again soon!

This place is so charming! The employees helped me decide which teas to order and they were both amazing. I recommend trying the Apple Cheese Melt! I had it with turkey and it was one of the best sandwiches I ve ever had. We loved the scones as well. I can t wait to return for High Tea!

Really great service, very relaxing, so much tea to choose from and great food. Love it here.

Amazing place for authentic English teas. Also great service and knowledgeable staff.

The staff is friendly, the variety of the tea is exciting, and the food is delectable.

Quick, friendly service with delicious tea and scones makes a great mid-day break from work. And I love that they have so many cafe offerings for those of us that are intolerant or allergic to gluten. I ll definitely be back again.

Brought both my daughters ages 6 and 2, it was a great treat and the tea was amazing!

Not bad. Basically just a tea shop. I had shepherds pie and it was ok. The crust was inedible.

This place is an old favorite. Tasty light lunches and lovely teas in pleasant surroundings!

Great service and fun place to have tea. Love all the different places to sit including outside

The tea party, food and service was excellent and is highly recommended. However, the experience was slightly spoiled by a misleading promotion. There was a 'Tea Party Special'' advertised of 25% off ALl mugs. However this actually seemed to exclude many of the mugs offered for sale including the infuser mugs. An uncharacteristicly deceptive practice, ALL means all Shame. However, a fabulous place for tea and I recommend it highly.

Really cute place, so many teas to choose from. The staff is super nice. Will definitely come back!

Excellent place. Great tea selection and food was delicious and fresh! Employees were friendly and helpful. I was visiting from out of town and had to go back a second time. Had a great experience both times.

Charming and cozy cafe with nice outdoor seating options. Although the food was a bit overpriced, the tea was superb, and I appreciated the great selection of both.

What really stood out is the service and the staff here. They went out of their way to make my seating comfortable on a cold morning, and I wasn't expecting it. Highly recommend visiting this local gem!

Very quaint, cute little tea spot. Large selection and willingness to help. Large gluten free menu was a big plus. Quiet and affordable. Highly recommend.

Great place for a baby shower. We tried teas I didn't even know were teas. Will definitely return.

Lovely spot with delicious tea and yummy soup. Everyone we met on the staff were delightful. It's a long way for me (45 min. drive), so I doubt I'll be back. But, if I lived closer, I'd probably come. Be prepared, it's a bit on the pricy side....$16+ tip for tea, and "soup+half a sandwich. More of a"special occasion" place.

English Tealeaves is a lovely tea oasis in the middle of a world of coffee. It's very easy to get coffee wrong and convince people it is ok enough to consume. Tea is a might but more difficult. English Tealeaves is a wonderful spend with wonderful tea, lunches, biscuits, desserts and tea accoutrements. I highly recommend their high tea for two. My wife and I bought it on a whim from Groupon and found that it was well worth even paying full price. It is a great place to unwind and hit a decadent pause in your day...in the most civilized way known to mankind

This was my first experience and it was wonderful! I highly recommend English Tealeaves

Great place to buy an assortment of tasty teas. Staff is very knowledgeable and helpful.

The ambiance is very relaxing- no loud music or workers being loud. This is definitely the kind of place you can go and study/read while enjoying some delicious tea. The Mint Vanilla is wonderful! Also the jam that comes with the scones is quite delicious. #lfthx

Absolutely delicious food and tea in a cute atmosphere. I recommend the sausage roll and the scones because it s what I ate but the dishes on other tables looked equally yum.

We loved this place! We had an awesome lunch and drinks. They had so many different tea flavors, the staff was really helpful explaining the menu and all the different options. I finally decided to have the peach pomegranate iced tea and a vegetarian quiche. My daughter loved her berry berry smoothie and creamy tomato soup. She asked me to get her one of the children s tea sets for Christmas! Lovely place, amazing fun and a great experience!

Very nice afternoon tea. Lots of choices. The tea was perfectly brewed.

Michele was so so wonderful! Kind, warm, and attentive without being intrusive. I met a friend for Tea for Two. Delicious! Cucumber sandwiches: so good and super cute presentation. Lovely teacups, delicious scones, tea, jam & CLOTTED CREAM! I ll be back

My daughter and I love to come here. The tea is delicious, the tea selection unparalleled, and the atmosphere is very enjoyable.
