No guide would be complete without mention of the Brown Palace Hotel.

Scones, tea pastries and tea sandwiches are artfully prepared by the hotel’s culinary staff each day and Devonshire cream is shipped directly from England. Enjoy the soothing sounds of a harpist or pianist.

Space is limited for Afternoon Tea, so make your reservations early.

A couple of Brit ladies run this traditional tea house. Not too many places in the Denver area have Cornish Pasties on their menu. Tea is traditional black tea…I haven’t been able to get any other choices…you try.

And, always, scones with clotted cream, jam or lemon curd (I know, sounds disgusting, but you won’t know how heavenly it is until you try it!)
