Tee & Cakes

Aghhhhh so amazing! The cupcakes were Bomb. I did ask for a caramel macchiato and she gave me a cortado. Merr but I ant even remember what the cupcakes were called but I know one was maple and caramel and one was chocolate bacon. So fantastic it made my heart smile!

For most people it’s all about coffee and cupcakes, but for me it’s all about the breakfast burritos that they make fresh. They are so amazing!

This used to be my favorite place for a sinfully delicious treat, sadly it’s changed. The cherry bomb cupcake had strange colorless cherries with an odd texture within it. The frosting was greasy, salty and just not yummy in any way. I miss the old Tea and Cakes.

Holy moly, the salted caramel macaron was fantastic! A little on the pricey side at $ 2.25 each, but still a delicious treat. Counter to what some other Unilocalers have described, the staff were also pleasant and efficient. Overall a nice afternoon treat.

The salted caramel cupcake was delicious. It was so soft and moist. I wish I had come at a time when I could’ve tried more cupcakes!

Would highly recommend you taking your French macaron cravings elsewhere. I adore French macarons and after trying to find a place in Boulder that makes good ones (Lucky’s Bakehouse was equally terrible) we came here, promised that the macarons were made fresh every day. Worst macaron I’ve ever had. Completely dried out so it crumbled into pieces, didn’t even use proper macaron filling. My friend’s cupcake was sub par at best, but Whole Foods could have made a better one for the same price.

After reading some of the reviews, I’m really glad I didn’t try any of their sweets. Crisco frosting?! Eeewwww! But they didn’t do very well with a simple drink order either. I felt the need for some caffeine and unfortunately this was the first place I saw. For one thing, the person who took my order walked off without offering me a copy of my credit card receipt. That is just common courtesy — clearly not a priority in this place. And better still, they served me some gross thing that was NOT what I ordered and it totally gagged me when I took a sip. Then when I took it back to the counter, the barista was incredibly snide and rude about making what I had actually ordered. Eventually they got it right — or as right as they can, apparently. I’ve certainly had better. But whatever, I will not be burdening them with my business again.
There are jillions of places to get coffee and this one is far from a stand-​out. As for baked goods, I recommend Boulder Baked. It’s just a couple of blocks away and they definitely know what they’re doing. The selection is mind-​boggling, everything I’ve had from there has been delicious and I’ve never been treated like I was an inconvenience to the staff.

Yikes! So disappointing! We were so excited to spend the day in Boulder and try this great place. I will say, very cute and everything looked delicious. But in actuality, yuck! We ordered a blueberry hand pie that tasted more like stale prunes than any blueberry I have ever seen, surrounded by a crust of pure flavorless dough. One of us actually spit the bite out! The peaches and cream macaroon was like a chewy peach soda with a smear of greasy marshmallow fluff. And speaking of greasy, the frosting is like pure sugar and Crisco… horrid. The red velvet Whoopie pie was not worth the calories. The bourbon chocolate cupcake was very much reminiscent of burnt sugar and grain alcohol, on a very dry cake. As far as donuts go, the red velvet was acceptable, but again, not really worth the calories.
The one highlight was the oatmeal chocolate chip cookie, which one of us thought was pretty darn yummy.

My husband and I chose Tee and Cakes to make our wedding cake. So glad we did, They did an amazing job ! The cake looked just like the photo I asked for & most importantly it tasted so AMAZING! We had red velvet on the bottom layers and I believe the top was maybe buttercream, just freaking deliciousness! People keep telling me how good the cake is when we talk about the wedding.
The ladies at Tee & Cakes set us up with a free tasting of many cupcakes then talked over wedding details with us. They delivered the cake and cupcakes up to Estes Park and set up everything on their beautiful porcelain cake stands. It was perfect! Thanks Tees and cakes for being such a great vendor to work with!

Not worth the walk or the money. The icing was just blah. I’m not sure how long it had been since mine were baked, but the tops were very stale and the paper cup hardly peeled off, so it wasn’t pleasant to bite into. I feel they should have been discounted. We got there around 1:30 pm and they only had two kinds of cupcakes left and a few other baked goods that we got a few of, but they were nothing special I really had wanted a nice soft, flavorful cupcake and this was not it. Yet another bakery in the Denver/​Boulder area I won’t be returning to due to lack of stock, freshness and flavor. Please use more flavoring. Use cream cheese frosting on things that traditionally have it (or if it was, I couldn’t tell). Discount older, stale goods.

Everytime I go there, I leave disappointed… From the rude employees to the bleh cupcakes. This last time, though… I ordered 12 cupcakes ahead because I’ve been turned down before for not doing that. I ordered everything EXCEPT the gluten free ones. The guy was rude, they put gluten free ones in my order, and they were all cold, like they had been in the refrigerator all night. Gross. I only go there bc of its convenient location, but I have finally learned my lesson! Lucky’s bakery will have my business from now on… Their treats are amazing and the staff is always delightful. If you happen to be in Denver, try out Happy Cakes in the Highlands too:)

Extremely sub-​par, I’ve never understood all the hype. In my opinion, Boulder is just starved for a quality cupcake shop and this is the best they can get.
Cupcakes are always too dry, too sweet, and the frosting is straight up butter… Given this place 3 tries and never been satisfied.

The cupcakes are wonderful… however, I’m an event planner and my clients wished to use Tee and Cakes for their upcoming wedding in May, 2015. I called to make an appointment for a tasting and was told I had to make contact via their email site and have done so with messages 3 times. with no return call or email. I have been attempting to schedule a tasting since October of 2014. When I called yet again to inform them I had still not been contacted with regards to scheduling a tasting, I was once again told that I would have to make contact via their website. I have advised my clients to allow me to schedule tastings with other bake shops and will never recommend this vendor again. Fantastic cupcakes, very poor management.

Rosemary, honey, chocolate ganache, almond cupcake, what? So delicious! This place is almost hidden but everyone should find it and get a cupcake here.

LOVE Tee & Cakes — my favorite spot in Boulder to satisfy my sweet tooth. Macaroons change daily and are always delicious. Lemon bars are especially good, and you can’t beat the cheddar biscuits Thursday mornings. This is before I even mention the cupcakes… I have seen some negative reviews about them being dry but have never experienced that myself unless I left them sitting around after purchase. I love the small shop atmosphere and the music is always great, albeit a little loud sometimes. A weekly stop for me, I can’t get enough!

My friend took me here one time and I fell in love with their mini cupcakes (I used to work at a cupcake shop that specialized in mini cupcakes so this was a little piece of home for me… literally).
The shop is super cute, the perfect place to catch up with friends or even study. The location is great too, right by Pearl, and easy walk from the Hill!
Love this place and can’t wait to go back!

What a cozy little spot to grabs some sweets & treats! I’ve been eye balling this place for sometime now and I was finally able to grab a few cuppies and French style macarons (my favorite). The girl behind the counter was sweet and the shop was pretty adorable. It’s small, tidy, and smells like heaven!
The price versus portion size is acceptable but can definitely be viewed as being on the high side. I purchased a half dozen cupcakes and picked out a few different flavors I wanted to try. Nothing was overwhelmingly memorable but I did enjoy their carrot cake. As for the macaron, well, it’s not what I’m use to but they can fill any macaron void in times if desperation. I would honestly just order them online for next day delivery from Lettes in Beverly Hills, CA (check em out). What can I say, I’m a Cali girl that can be a bit of a snob when it comes to macarons. Regardless, this place wasn’t bad. I would patronize again if I ever have another hankering for something delicious to nosh on while strolling thru Pearl St.

Where do I begin? Tee & Cakes is more than just a cupcake shop. It’s more than a coffee shop. It is more than an art and apparel shop. They somehow combine all of those into a quaint storefront in the heart of downtown Boulder, CO. I have to admit, I have been a regular there since I moved to Boulder in 2009. Being such a frequent customer, I’ve not only for to know the owners, but their overly kind employees as well. They treat every customer with the highest regard.
From the cheddar biscuit Thursdays, donut Fridays, crossandwiches, deliciously strong coffee and of course mouth watering cupcakes, every tasty treat at Tee & Cakes is is absolutely amazing.

I stopped by after seeing good reviews during a visit to Pearl Street and I was not disappointed! I got a red velvet cupcake and a milk chocolate chip one to share with my sister and they were both quite tasty! I think the frosting – cream cheese and chocolate respectively – stood out more than the cakes themselves. They weren’t the best cupcakes I’ve ever had but I would definitely not turn them down if I had the chance to eat another one! The people behind the counter were very friendly, too.
I was dying to try the salted bourbon caramel cupcake that looked delicious as well as a vegan, gluten-​free chocolate one, but I suppose that’s more reason for me to come back next time I’m in Boulder. They’ve got lots of options for teas and coffees to pair with your treats, too, and outdoor seating as well.

2.5 Stars.
These are not cupcakes, they are muffins with icing. They are denser and heavier than cupcakes and have a crunchy top. Much like muffins.
P. S. The coca-​cola cupcake does not taste like coca-​cola.
