This was my fav place to buy tea leaves and Boba. Sorry to see it go. :(

I've become a regular at the Tea Box and service has always been exceptional. It's my little sanctuary. The salads and sandwiches are always fresh, and the scones melt in your mouth. (ask for the scone to be heated!)
My fav meal here: half vegetarian- apple- cheese- sandwich, half Gorgonzola-walnut-pear salad, chocolate chip scone, and jasmine pearl green tea.
The soup choice doesn't change often (tomato or roasted red pepper), but I'm usually not coming for soup.
The tea selection is one of the best and most reasonable I've found so far in Denver. I love loose leaf tea, and this is the perfect spot to try new varieties.
I wish I could comment on the tea slushies, etc., but those 'aren't my cuppa tea' anyway, so haven't tried them here. -

I love my bubble tea and slushies, but I don't think I'll get them from The Tea Box. The drink really tasted watered down and I could hardly taste the flavor they added. The tapioca pearls were a bit funky and weren't as chewy as the typical pearl. This isn't my first time getting bubble tea from them -- they've been consistently mediocre each time.
It seems like The Tea Box has received good reviews for their sandwiches and tea, so maybe it's just the bubble tea that's a little off. Overall a nice staff. I'll try to return for lunch one of these days to give this place another try, but I'll get my bubble tea elsewhere. -

I go here with a friend once in a while, and it's perfect for that. We drink potfuls of tea and chat and I enjoy the artwork and the space. I have not eaten much here but the baked goods fill the bill for me. Mostly I love the tea and trying the different kinds. She loves the bubble tea and I don't know much about it, but I do know she is very particular about eating healthy--organic and vegan if possible.
Everything a tea room should be. There is a tiny lot next to it in case you dred the Cherry Creek street parking. -

I am a total tea junkie, and must say I am so happy to have found this place. The Tea Box is hard to find, unless you know to look for it. Their tea is wonderful. It's all extra long leaf so it doesn't worm its way out of the strainer. These guys use French press coffee makers to steep their tea. I never would have thought of that... You can buy all of their tea by the pound and make it at home any time you like. If you don't like tea, they also have fruit smoothies that are made to order. Regardless of what you order, you will leave feeling healthy and rejuvenated.
There are plenty of tables, couches and other seating within this place. Board games are stacked in the corner, making this a perfect place to meet a friend or two for a game of scrabble.
The only down side to this place is the hours. They close at 6pm, which means if you don't work in the area, its hard to make it there before closing time. Everyone is so nice and helpful, so that makes up for the early closure. I will definitely be back! -

Quite good chai. Friendly and *efficient* waitstaff. The lunchtime dim sum is unusual in that it's served as a premade platter - you get a set number of each of several dainty premade pieces, which are then cooked up fresh for you. It's limited, but very good, and the price is reasonable (a) for the food quality, and (b) considering that it's Cherry Creek.
Atmosphere is comfortable casual. Parking is street. -

The best selection of teas in denver! They have black, white & green (and bubble tea). All are organic. They are located in the Cherry Creek North area. Small, modern, sunny place. They have board games and books if you didn't bring anything to do. If you're hanging out for the afternoon, they will run you a tab. The food is wonderful. It is always super fresh, made to order. The owner is very friendly, and works behind the counter frequently. The rest of the crew is personable as well. Also, you can go in to get bags of loose tea to make at home. And you won't find their organic selection anywhere else in Denver. Oh, check out the punch card too.

I just walked by the Tea Box this weekend and was sad to see it closed. :( the note on the door said they might find a new location. We will miss it.

Great tea, good atmosphere, Cherry Creek North free WiFi, and very friendly staff. I'm no tea connoisseur but I may be soon!

I've never actually had tea here, just bought loose tea to take home. I must say, they have an excellent selection and knowledgeable staff with great recommendations. They sent me home with a lot of great white tea, which I find to be hit or miss. The jasmine pearls are the best I've ever had.

A foodies Light lunch dream come true! Everything is incredibly fresh. I always have a humus and turkey sandwich with scrumptious little dumplings. I love the tea slushes, they have flavors like passion fruit and leeche but minus all that crazy icky crap in lollicup. Great place to meet people for a board game and afternoon tea or afternoon to work quietly.

The tea was good. I ordered the boba honey green tea and the boba was horrible. It was hard and probably not fresh. The tea itself was good. Just stay away from the boba.

Tea slushies - I love it! They've got a green coconut green tea slushy I get whenever I'm in CCreek. They also have salads (I've had and I like) and sandwiches (I haven't tried those yet). It's a comfortable place to hang with a nice staff.

I like this place a lot. It has a great selection of tea (properly prepared!), the staff and the owner are super and they have great desserts. It is always clean and I have never had trouble parking on this end of CCN.

i went here once when i had a wicked cold and the lady introduced me to citron honey for the red tea i was having. it was such a nice treat and has become one of my winter/cold staples. They have a great selection of tea and i've always found staff to be very helpful
