Stopped by @tropitai today to check out their brick and mortar space. I’ve seen them at @harveyparkfarmersmarket and tried them at Nesian Fest where their mango shaved ice really saved the day when it was so hot outside. What hits you first is the smell of their Malasadas which are freshly made several times throughout the day. They are pretty well known for them and it really killed me not to snag a 6ct so I’ll be back next week. Today I snagged a: ✨ Taro milk tea 🧋 with boba They have a variety of milk tea and boba options as well as the malasadas and the shaved ice 🍧 Give @tropitai a follow and go visit them in Lakewood in the same parking lot as the Sprouts! #denverfoodie #coloradomom #denvermom #denversmallbusiness #denver
