Arden

Small boba shop in strip mall just north of Hampden Ave and west of Wadsworth Blvd. They are primarily a coffee and tea shop plus items for pre-teens like writing pads, pens, and bags. Odd merchandise for a coffee, tea and milk tea shop. Only 1 bench to sit on inside. They do not accept cash. It appears to be a franchise location for Arden which was established in 2020. You order at the counter and your drink is ready quickly. I got a Thai Milk Tea with boba. No choice of boba flavors and the boba was black, not translucent. It tasted ok.

I stopped in today today as I had a real craving for a good green tea. I ordered a green tea with strawberry purée and boba. My wife ordered a rose milk tea with boba. Both drinks were beautifully and tasted wonderful. The lovely Asian woman that helped us was friendly, helpful and professional. The building is immaculate and adorable. The decorations are lovely as is the color palette. The drinks were a bit on the pricy end but not terribly so. They don't have a customer restroom at all and that's a little annoying. My only complaint really is that the smell of air fresheners inside is overwhelming and would give me a headache if I stayed inside too long. I opted to wait outside for our drinks. All in all, it's a wonderful small business but I'd sure like to see them ease back on the air fresheners.

Such a cute and dainty place! I loved the aesthetics of high tea/library feel indoors. Their staff was friendly and helpful I got a yummy ube cofe late and sticky toffee pudding. The late is really refreshing and creamy with just the right amount of ube flavor. The sticky toffee pudding is so delicious and light! Great place to get your quick quality coffee or boba fix or snack time with friends!

Look to be Asian women-owned business, the decor and drinks are so pretty, they are pastel and gradient in color, respectively. Probably the prettiest after the famous Milk Tea People's drinks. I so wish the drinks taste up to par, but unfortunately they're not "milk tea people" (pun intended). Something is missing from the sips: probably top notch ingredients and hand-spun effort. It just did not taste as pretty as it looks. I think if they were to re-locate to a more modern spot, they'll have more business. I couldn't help but smell the sewer when I'm in this really old strip mall building. That did not help with the appetite. In the end it is the warm smiles and greetings from the owners make it worth 3.5 stars.

found this place after searching on maps as always trying to avoid giving my money to Starbucks what a gem! The staff were super friendly and helpful. Their drinks were unique. It's hard to surprise me having been a coffee drinker for as long as I have, but they manage to with their inventive concoctions. the shakerado was Out of this world and like nothing I've ever had in a coffee shop their Ube latte was also top-notch and unlike other Ube lattes that I've had this one was bursting with flavor. Sidenote, they had a huge selection of San Rio. items and stationary at a reasonable price. You normally have to pay to ship these things.

I was so happy to see an Ube drink on their menu- I got the ube latte, really good,. but almost all their drinks were only iced! They did not have the option for hot drinks except 3 maybe - hence the slight disappointment! Also, this place has really dark tinted glass/doors and hence we weren't sure if the place was even open! Maybe a few more signs outside would make it more evident that they're open for business! Recommend the Ube drink though!

If I ever find myself in the Littleton or Lakewood area, then I force whoever is with me at the moment to grab a drink from Arden. Luckily, this past weekend, my husband and I had an errand to run in Littleton so I gently persuaded him that everyone at home needed a drink AKA I needed at least 2-3 drinks. And alas, my wish because a reality.As always, the tearistas were incredibly kind and patient especially when we ended up ordering another drink on top of the seven we placed earlier. My favorite is their strawberry matcha latte with or without boba. My husband likes their lychee milk tea whilst my kiddos love their Thai milk tea. Arden also added Ube latte onto their menu, which although was a little lighter in flavor than I expected was still delish. Ugh, I really wish I lived closer to Arden. I'd probably be broke but full of their yummy drinks. And before trekking home, one of the sweet ladies gave my husband and I a box to hold our drinks. lol, it was a serious lifesaver because I only had four cup holders in my car and 8 drinks to shake around my lap for a 45-minute drive. Oh, they also helped label our drinks on the caps to help us identify what drink is what AKA all mine. Hehe, just kidding.

Ok, I'm SO BUMMED this place isn't up in Thornton or North Denver Metro area!! I stumbled upon this hidden gem today (via a Yelp search) and couldn't be more impressed. The two women working were incredibly friendly and helpful, my milk tea was delicious, and everything was super clean. A few things to note...- They only take credit cards- It can be hard to find, due to the size of the space and lack of signage. It almost looks like part of the neighboring martial arts studio, but go through the door to the left of that to access Arden.They seem like they recently opened, so please go check them out! They have lots of great flavors and drinks. :)

This was a very cute little shop that's kinda hidden unless you know where to go. There were 2 women working there and they were very nice and helpful when asking what the drinks were since the menu is a handwritten sign that can't fit every description. I forgot how much the drink was but I got the twilight with lychee jelly and it was really good! I wanna try more of their specialty drinks and maybe their pork spring rolls one day! Definitely recommend this shop if you're in the area! :D

Not only are the owners super friendly and kind, this is by far the best specialty drinks I have had in Colorado. The drinks are super esthetic and beautiful , they also taste amazing. The ingredients are super fresh and does not seem like any powders are used so always a plus! They always have super fun drink options and I have not found a drink from their menu I didn't like! I would highly recommend this place.
