Babe's Tea Room

Party of 4: 2 Adults 2 Kiddos. Wonderful ambiance. Restaurant is pretty and has several IG ready spots for photos! My DIL booked the afternoon for us to enjoy with the granddaughters. The tea menu selection is plentiful. The tables are on the smaller side so the server suggested selecting only 2 teas to start with so there would be room for everything. No problem.There is also an inviting cocktail menu so my DIL and I both ordered something yummy to complement our tea. The table is set beautifully with everything needed to enjoy a cup of tea and delicious goodies as well.When it was time for our three-tier display of sandwiches, scones, and sweet treats, our server explained what each item was that we would be enjoying. Compared to the other four Tea Rooms I have enjoyed in New York and Los Angeles, the food here at Babe's certainly ranked well. Note that there are two different prices, one for adults and one for children.This is not an inexpensive outing by any means. Remember, there is tip to be added on as well. We've been to the Brown Palace in downtown Denver and of course, being in the Atrium with the live music is very different than this experience. Nevertheless, this was an enjoyable outing and we will most likely return at some point.

Though the food and tea were amazing, the way the restaurant is set up is not. I had a party of 5, and 3 of us were gluten free. This is something they accommodate, and when we made the reservation, we selected ahead of time 3 gluten free teas and 2 regular. Because there was a section to specify, I didn't think I'd have to call. But when we get there (for our reservation at 2:45) they ask if there are any dietary needs. We say we have our 3 gluten free needs, and that's that. We order some delicious tea and catch up, but when 3:30 comes by (45 minutes after our reservation time) and there isn't food, we're a bit concerned. Our waitress assures us that the gluten free scones are in the oven and should be out soon. At this point I was slightly peeved because we did tell them ahead of time of our needs, and usually you want your food WITH your tea for afternoon tea, but it's ok, it happens. But then 3:45 hits and we still haven't received our food (mind you, this is an hour after our reservation time and the reservation is only supposed to be for 90 minutes). Our waitress lets us know that the kitchen team actually missed our ticket, but it's in now. It might be a bit, but she will give us a discount for the wait. We do finally get our food at 4:08 pm (I know because I have a timestamped photo). However, one of our friends had to take hers to go because she head to head out at 4:20 (something we thought would be fine because that's when our 90 minute reservation was supposed to end!). It is lovely, the food was great, and we did have a nice time. Luckily most of our party didn't have a time constraint. But when the bill came out, they gave us 10% off. And yes, this is better than nothing, I do appreciate the acknowledgment of the mistake, but when each meal is $57 and we're here for a birthday celebration, I want to have service fitting the occasion and the price tag. Unfortunately, I'm not sure if I will come back, but the food was good and our server was friendly so it's still at least 3 stars. But keep this in mind if you have allergies.

Stumbled on this cute tea place while strolling in the picturesque downtown of Golden, Colorado. My friends and I went in to quickly grab a drink, but instead felt inclined to spend more time to enjoy what this place had to offer. The server, who I believe was the owner, was very pleasant to talk to and was very welcoming. She helped us order different tea and tea sandwiches with a side of salad and some macaroons of the day. We thoroughly enjoyed the "high tea" experience. The hibiscus tea was really good.. and the chicken sandwiches were good as well. The macaroons were too sweet for my liking. Overall, a nice place to hang out with your girlfriends!

We love Babe's Denver location and were looking forward to seeing their new spot. It didn't disappoint! Great location - right on Golden's main drag. We arrived on a late Saturday morning with no reservation, which happened to be before their holiday parade. Given it was chilly out - and we were willing to sit on their patio - we got a table immediately (great view of the parade) and kept pretty warm with their large heaters. It looked like some bar seats were available as well, no don't lose total hope to get a spot here sans res.We usually do their afternoon tea service but decided to mix it up this time, opting for sandwiches (chicken curry - my favorite! Great portions and delish as usual), scones (seasonal and traditional with the accoutrements, also wins) and 2 pots of tea. Everything was the quality you'd expect from Babe's. The reasons I can't give 5 stars for this visit are twofold: 1) the service wasn't up to snuff; it took a very long time for our tea to arrive and our server wasn't as attentive as we've come to expect from the Denver location and 2) they didn't have any mocktail/non-booze options available besides coffee drinks. I'm currently pregnant and have come to highly value spots catering to their sober customers. Maybe someday! The Denver location remains to be my favorite, but I would still absolutely come back to their Golden spot again.

I celebrated my birthday here and had a fantastic time. The afternoon tea service was absolutely delightful. I enjoyed every aspect of what we were served. The curry chicken was my favorite tea sandwich. The seasonal scone was tasty and I enjoyed mixing and matching the lemon curd, clotted cream, and jam in different combinations. The tea menu was incredibly large and unlimited for your time there. We were all taste testing each other's teas and I ended up buying a flavor to take home. The desserts were also lovely and there were 4 options served!! The inside was decorated in a very picturesque manner and added a nice aesthetic to enjoy while sipping my tea. Our server was nice and attentive. There is a parking garage around the corner. I can't wait to go back! I thought $52 a person was very reasonable for the overall experience.

Happened to be strolling down Washington Street (main) in Golden and noticed that Babe's was open. Such a pleasant surprise and a great atmosphere. We sat on the shaded deck overlooking Clear Creek. While many people here get the tea service with scones and finger sandwiches, my wife and I shared the chicken curry sandwich and the strawberries and scone. The sandwich was large, delicious and shareable. And the strawberry cream scone was awesome. Service was friendly, attentive, and helpful. Highly recommended!

Almost $11 for the smores latte. Pricey and not good. This place is an overhyped Instagram spot.

Holiday tea is a tradition with the girls in the family, so we decided to branch out this year, skip our usual place, and try this newer Babes location in Golden. Our server, Emily, told us they've been there around six months. When you walk in, you'll see ample seating space that didn't appear too cramped. Some tea places we've been to, you're elbow to elbow with the tables next to you and behind you. Not too bad here. We got lucky and were seated on a couch and two cushy chairs. Yay! We weren't next to anyone! There were around 80 teas to choose from. We selected white tip oolong, African Rooibos, chocolate chai, and Cocoa cabana. All were amazing! The server described each item on the tiered tray. There were plenty of little sandwiches like cucumber and chicken curry. The mini scones were to die! Served with lemon curd, jam, and Devonshire cream, those were the table favorite. The deserts were fancy, festive, and delicious! We never felt rushed. The atmosphere was lively and chatty, so I'd say perhaps some soft holiday music or the like would have helped drown some of that out. Not a deal breaker. Overall, we really enjoyed our time here. Emily was fantastic! Prepare to pay for the experience, but not as much as the famous and sometimes overhyped Brown, and I find the service to be much better.

Lovely afternoon tea experience and it can be enjoyed any day of the week. Which is great for those of us that can't make a weekend work due to work or other reasons. They offered a toddler little tea cup along with more kid friendly tea sandwich items. I wish we could've made sitting outside work because the outdoor patio looked so cute and it's next to bear creek. But the inside was very festive as well. My toddler loved the timers and was very much into his job of making sure we knew when to take the tea bags out.

I loved this experience with my co-workers! The tea was so good! You can try as many teas as you like. All the little sandwiches are so yummy! Bring your wallet, but it's worth it!
