Tea Time

If you’re a tea drinker you might want to stop into a little house in downtown Littleton, CO called The Serendipi-TEA Shoppe.

It’s located in a one-story Victorian house just one block north of the main road. It has a quaint little front room with floral table cloths, doilies, china tea sets and a tea pot covered in an English rose tea cozy. I went there for lunch and had a delicious chicken salad but it seemed as if they were short staffed because we had to wait almost an hour for our food.

I’m sure what they are best know for are their teas. The have an Afternoon Tea that begins at 2:30 p.m. (reservations are required). It includes a pot of tea along with tea sandwiches, mini desserts (the best part of an Afternoon Tea!), fruit and cheese. They you get scones with lemon curd, clotted cream and strawberry jam. If you don’t know what clotted cream is, well it’s really just an English version of butter but better. You also have the option of a Cream Tea which is a pot of tea and scones with toppings.

So if you don’t have a schedule to keep and want a cozy place to meet your girlfriends, this is the place to try. And they also have a gift shop where you can purchase gift items as well as teas and scones.
