Milk Tea People — Restaurant in Denver

Pros: Super friendly customer service and very patient with answering questions. Upon receiving your order, they give you a little more details about the drink too. The making of the tea, especially the matcha is very traditional and legitimate. I appreciate the authenticity and effort. Very unique menu items.

Cons: Tucked away in an alley. Because everything is handcrafted, the wait for beverages and orders can take a while. Getting in line to order can always take a while when busy because customers ask questions about the menu items.

Overall a very positive and unique experience I had in Denver. It's like Denver's little secret. I came here twice within my 1 week visit. First time, I ordered the ube coconut sprinkle with vanilla gelato wafchi and a matcha lavender latte (with oat milk substitute). Second time, I ordered a matcha blueberry wafchi with lavender gelato and a strawberry matcha latte (with oat milk substitute). Their drinks look very pretty and it is well crafted. The amount of efforts the owners put into making these drinks really shows and worth the wait. For my first order, I loved the wafchi concept (mochi + waffles). My favorite is the ube and I love how chewy it was and how the vanilla gelato flavor with coconut sprinkles complimented it. The matcha lavender was unexpected. I did not expect the taste of lavendar to hit so strongly. While it was good for the first half of the drink, the taste of lavender overtime overpowers the matcha toward the end. My second order, I would still recommend the wafchi because I enjoy the texture. However I am biased. I liked the match wafchi with the lavender ice cream but I did not like the blueberry toppings. I'm not a fan of blueberries but if they substituted the fruit with another fruit, the matcha would definitely be my favorite over the ube. My drink for the second visit was subpar. I enjoyed my first drink better. The strawberry in the strawberry matcha latte was too overwhelming. My friend got the lemonade teaki and that was very solid. It tasted like a frappuccino. I would come back to try the other drinks, especially the creme or teaki drinks.

Milk Tea People is located on Market street in Denver, CO. Its located inside next to Water Grill-Denver and they are known for making the BEST Milk Teas in Denver. The reason why I’m saying is the best is because they strive for quality over quantity. Their menu is small but the qulality of each of the drinks is phenomenal! For example, the matcha drinks is matcha powder that has been from Japan. You can really taste the quality of each of the matcha based drinks and how refreshing they are.I got their Strawberry Matcha and Lavender Matcaha and I got say, it’s been one of the best matcha drinks I had no joke! The strawberry matcha has a nice combo of sweet and bitter and you taste that nice blen throughout the drink. The Lavender Matcha had a nice floural taste with that bitterness of the matcha is a combination I never heard or seen before. I have to say it’s one of my favorite drinks on the menu and it’s super unique too!

I also got their ube jasmine sweet cream and let me tell you this, it takes 2 hours just to prep the ube because they use actually taro roots, hand make the ube, and pure it all in 2 hours. Yes it’s a long time, but it’s so worth the quality. That creamy with that mellow nutty flavor had a nice mellow adn creamy flavor and it just tastes so well. It’s a nice creamy drink that is perfect to beat the awful heat! I also had that coconut ube wafchi which is basically a mochi waffle with vanilla gelato on top and it was a match made in heaven with that combination. Who says no to waffles and gelato has they were so yummy together.

Overall, the drinks I had were one of the best milk tea drinks I ever had! They strive for quality over quantity while still making each flavor prominate and complement each other. I also love how warm and loving the staff are and you can tell they have a lot of passion on what they bring to Denver. Make sure you try out...

a love letter about milk tea people.

I love drinks and especially teas, I'm the type of person to get loose leaf tea online and make them on my own. Milk tea people is expensive but every time i walk in there i leave feeling like it's worth it, the og crew is always open to questions and giving recommendations, and it's really obvious that they make everything from scratch or take pride in where it's sourced (I'm pretty sure the ice cream is from gelato boy).

when i used to go more often one of the ones consistently taking orders remembered me and my order which was really sweet, and the older man is extremely friendly and will try to get me to try new drinks and get away from my go-tos which has let me find out that i love most of the menu items. i love the environment especially in the warmer months when they open the wall and will bring out drinks to the benches outside.

the drinks here are always so consistent in taste even with using fruit in different seasons, while you can ask for them to be less sweet i find that they are not overly sweet and that i can still taste all the flavors in them, i do stay away from the matcha latte and fruit tea as a latte is mostly milk, just not my favorite for tea and they don't have different options for the base of fruit teas and it's just jasmine. they do really well in brewing so it is not bitter like cheap boba/tea places.

i was able to go again earlier today and i was so happy to get a ube coconut wafchi and a hot vanilla hojicha, while my partner asked for a very unique pomegranate​ blueberry tea. my partners drink was gone within 5 minutes of leaving as it was amazing. i loved mine aswell, being able to hold onto mine in the cold and eat my ice cream at home.

i paid $26~ for these three items and i was extremely content with...
