I've been enjoying this tea house for 3 years. Its a ritual I've grown attatched to. Jessica, the owner always welcomes me and makes me feel
at home in her home. The scones are absolutely the best. The scones at the Drake Hotel in Chicago do not compare to Jessica's. The sandwiches are large and yummy and the soups are divine! When you need a tea fix head to THE HOUSE OF COMMONS! I do about 5 times a week.

My husband and son surprised me yesterday with an afternoon tea at House of Commons for Mother's day. When we arrived, about 15 early, the place was hopping but we noticed a table was already set for three. We proceeded to the counter at the back of the shop but still had to wait a bit before we were acknowledged. When we were finally seated at the table we assumed was ours, the rest of the tea was lovely. The service was adequate, the food was fine and the tea was delicious. They have over 30 varieties of loose tea from Taylors, Twinings, an others. Overall the experience was fine. Though it is a small establishment , when it is busy they would do well to add waitstaff. After we got our tea and food we waited a long time to be asked if we wanted more of anything. The place was busy though so I won't hold that against them. As an added bonus, I received a lovely packet of lavender earl grey tea as we were leaving. I would have no problem recommending this tea room and we will definitely go back.

I don't understand why this place has so many high marks. Perhaps they used to be good. But for the fact that the owner is British, there would be no other way to identify this as a 'British style' tea room. #2 out o 40? What are you comparing it to? There is no artistry to the tea service. The atmosphere is anything but cozy. Once is enough.

Nice, but over priced. The tea was good, however, when I asked for more hot water, they threw some tea bags in the pot of a different flavor than what I had originally ordered, and never made it back to our table so I could get that fixed. The quantity of pastries with the tea was pretty sparce. Another table (of 4) had tray upon tray delivered to their table. We had to ask for more pastries, and got a very curious response; she asked us what we wanted, instead of getting the same treatment as other patrons and having more treats brought as needed. It put a damper on the experience. She brought out a few sandwiches and scones, and moved them from her tray to the one we had just emptied. Other than the multi-level tray, and dainty portions, everything was just average. No different than ser... (more)vice at any neighborhood cafe. For nearly $20 a head, I expected something nice, and was disappointed. The atmosphere is stark, and the portions are small. If you are determined to go there, I recommend ordering from the menu, at $6-7 per person. You'll get more food, and the same service, for half the price of the afternoon tea.

Whenever you get a chance come to HoC for tea/lunch. The service and menu are wonderful. It should be ranked as #1 in Denver area.

Very pleasant - this is a local favorite for my tea friends. If we wish tea on Sundays, it's a good idea to make a reservation. The owner is kind and the shop extremely clean, we just had high tea this last weekend and the food was excellent as always and the owner full of good cheer in wishing my friend happy birthday. Quiet, well-lit, clean and bright.
