50 Best Coffee Shops in Denver

“Improper City is one of the few places that actually have a non alcoholic on tap along with local non alcoholic beers. Great place to enjoy the nice weather as one of best patios in Rino.“

“Love The Happy Camper Latte“

“I’m going to be a little bit here but this place is extremely nice 😊 thank goodness!! Denver needs more people like the staff that runs this company! I’d love a chance to sit with the. And chat but they’re always so busy!!! Rightfully so because they kick butt ever time. That safe to say I’ll be Bach. My autistic husband and kiddo loves this place“

“Great place! Stopped by with family on a quick trip to Denver. Great food and coffee, service was amazing. They need a place like this in SLC.“

“As a gluten free baker myself, I have to hand it to these guys! They got it going on! Definitely check out the cheddar biscuits!!“

“We highly recommend Baker Market and Deli. The sandwiches are exceptional and we appreciate the atmosphere. It’s a neighborhood hidden gem and we will certainly return. Try out the pastries as well, you will not be disappointed! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Delicious lattes and incredibly friendly people 🖤“

“The blueberry basil latte is INSANELY GOOD!! We were in Denver on a trip for 4 days and had Procession coffee 3 times- we even went out of our way on our way back home to get it one last time. We visited several coffee shops while in Denver and none of them even TOUCHED the quality and flavor of Procession. Easy parking and great vibes in the shop. Cannot recommend them enough!“

“We are so glad we stopped to try something new! Excellent customer service, we were greeted as soon as we walked in and given an amazing rundown of all the delicious food they have to offer! Baklava was perfect! I can’t remember the name of the meat pastry but it was so good!!“

“You will not be disappointed here! Everything was delicious! We ordered the chicken street rice, pork street soup, green curry and Kho Soi with fried chicken(my favorite). Food was authentic and the flavors were perfect. Had the mango mojito to drink and mango sticky rice for desert. The family loved everything!“

“Quince Coffee House is an amazing place with a warm and welcoming environment for all patrons. The owners truly care about their craft and this is reflected by their incredible staff. If you are looking for a coffee shop to change up your routine, this is the place for you!“

“Great Charcuterie Boards, and an excellent Espresso Martini. Angela Neri, the owner, pays keen attention to detail.“

“This little pearl in RiNo is just about perfect. Real care and craftsmanship on every level. Excellent baked goods, unique specialty items, house-made syrups, high quality coffee and matcha. Even better? The **team** that works here, serving up good conversation, a dash of humor, and carefully made beverages.“

“Sapor's my favorite coffee shop in the Front Range. It's an awesome environment to work in and the coffee and staff are both exceptional. Absolutely check this place out if you're in Denver.“

“The gumbo! Go for the GUMBO an huge butttery biscuits“

“Grew up in Michigan where pasties are a big deal, and was craving one today. Google and my stomach led me the Pasty Republic. So much satisfying goodness wrapped up in a dough hug. ❤️🤗“

“I consider myself lucky to be in walking distance of this hidden gem! The vibes are always welcoming and the gentleman who is the proprietor is a beautiful soul. Genuinely caring as he asks me how my husband is doing, vis versa.
We need more of this in the world. Humans who really go over and beyond and who provides top notch service!“

“Some coffee shops announce themselves the moment you walk in. Dandy Lion does it quietly — a nondescript exterior on 38th Ave in Park Hill that gives way, once you’re through the door, to something genuinely unexpected: hanging swing seats, walls of living plants, morning light filtering through greenery, and the smell of something floral already in the air. Owners Duc Huynh and his wife Dominique moved the concept to Park Hill in 2021 , and what they built here is hard to categorize in the best way. It’s a craft coffee shop and boutique plant store in one — and somehow both sides of that equation feel equally intentional rather than one being an afterthought. The menu leans into lavender lattes, Vietnamese iced coffee, and chai, alongside croissants and breakfast burritos — a lineup that reflects the shop’s AAPI-owned roots and a clear point of view on what coffee can be. The Vietnamese iced coffee in particular earns its reputation: rich, layered, and grounding in a way that a standard cold brew just isn’t. The lavender latte is a regular on people’s standing orders for good reason. The seating situation is worth noting — swing chairs and limited spots mean arriving early on weekends pays off. Street parking is the move. Best for solo mornings, slow catch-ups with a friend, or anyone who wants to leave with a new plant and a drink they’ll be thinking about on the drive home. Open daily 8am–3pm — get there before the rush.“

“I visited today and this place is wonderful I recommend this Cafe . Customer service is amazing. Thank you 🍄“

“My moms brought me from Chitown to Denver 1976...where has this fantastic place been all my life? This is the REAL heart and soul of Denver that is gone from so many places I loved so much. Bravo...I'll do anything to support you. Thanks for having a home for us“

“I stopped at moonflower this morning to get coffee for a group of people after our original plan fell through. They went out of their way to take care of me and save the day!“

“I got an iced vanilla oatmilk latte and the tiramisu croissant and both were FANTASTIC. The pastry was not too sweet, filled with a chocolate and custard mix, paired perfectly with the latte. Iced latte was balanced and smooth, it was literally perfect. So good I wanted another! The patio area was super cute and the perfect place to read in the morning while enjoying your coffee. Next time I’m in Denver, I’ll for sure be back!“

“Thank you from the night shift nurses @ Sloan’s Lake Rehab! You have been amazing dropping off coffee for us almost every night!!“

“Absolutely phenomenal experience. We sat at the chefs counter and were served by Hunter. He was engaging and very knowledgeable about the food, their suppliers, and just a great person to chat with. The music was a nice lo-fi and pop mix, with ambient lighting setting the tone. The meal itself was fabulous. We ordered everything in the happy hour menu as well as a few dishes off the main menu. 10/10 would go again to try some other dishes before they change the menu in autumn!“

“Simply The Best Pie anywhere!“

“Great food, great atmosphere! We will be back.“

“Espresso Coffee Chocolate Fudge Shakes are outta this world!!“

“Nitro is on point! One of our top places to visit.“

“Excellent latte and friendly staff. Nice place to have a coffee.“

“Great place for a great cause! Wonderful and cozy place to relax during church night and after a hard day at work or to finish studying/work. Great food and drinks of all kinds! Nice toddler play area and Frontier Park is right next to it right along the Platte River.“

“I like being able to have coffee and a cocktail in one place!“

“Wednesday, March 19, 2025 JULIETS coffee group visited VIVA! Mexico Cafe thanks to Pat's recommendation! It was wonderful. Great Huckleberry Coffee. The toast with beans, meat (ham, steak, or chorizo) melted cheese topped with avocado, chopped tomato, and onion was delicious based on five JULIET reviews. The cafe is beautifully decorated and immaculately clean. There is plenty of seating indoors and outdoors. Street parking on Eudora. Owners: Husband and wife Elisa Garcia and Leonardo Munoz-Corona (Leo/chef). Daniel was our barista. Leo was very gracious, explained the menu items we were not familiar with, and showed us the freshly baked rolls and pastries. Highly recommend it and will be back as a regular.“

“I honestly can’t rave enough about this new-ish coffee shop/cafe.

The atmosphere here is warm, welcoming and a little bit whimsical, with a lot of cute nods to their moniker. One of my favorite things to do is find a great place somewhere away from home to read and the first time I stopped in here there were actually a couple different people who had staked out some cozy corners to do exactly that!

While the breakfast menu is small, every item is something I was interested in trying. I ended up getting the breakfast burrito which is delicious. Rich without being greasy, with a tangy avocado salsa on the side that makes it perfectly balanced. It was so good that instead of trying something else, I had to have it again the next time I came in. I have been searching for good breakfast burritos in this city for YEARS and this is probably my favorite yet. Their iced matcha latte is also very solid.

The staff is welcoming and friendly and overall I can’t imagine a better experience in this type of space than what they’ve managed to do here.“

“Do not miss this small gem near downtown Denver! Whether your knowledge of tea is extensive or very basic, the staff seems happy to help you find a brew you'll like. I enjoyed my first matcha, alongside an absolutely delightful salmon sandwich. Allow some time to browse the eclectic book selection, and just enjoy the vibe.“

“Had a blast at Bodega Denver this Sunday afternoon. Great sandwiches and this joint had a fun funky atmosphere. They also offer vegan options for our half vegan family“

“This is a WONDERFUL restaurant. We have been there many times and everything we try is absolutely delicious. The service is also friendly and courteous. Do yourself and your friends and family a favor and try Tuti grill!“

“Spectacular coffee, but the exceptional staff at the Glenarm location make this shop a "MUST" for anyone in the Denver area. Shout out to "Awesome Barista" Melissa and Ryan. (y)“

“Love it!! Every bite had my eyes rolling 😂🖤Will be back soon to visit!“

“Best GF bagel we’ve found to date! Totally delicious! We got the Bella and it was just as good as it sounds. Also the coffee drinks were great. Will be returning often! Staff were kind and polite. (No place to sit inside- so be prepared to take it to go)“

“so good“

“This was super cute and a great stop before a hike! The coffee was delicious and service was great! Also, bonus points for Glenn and playing fetch while we waited for our coffee! Check the website to see if they're open and you shouldn't have any issues!“

“Great coffee, excellent service and the best cronuts I’ve ever had!“

“Absolutely marvelous! This thoroughly charming little coffee shop is a short walk from Union Station/The Crawford Hotel, (straight East on 17th, on the South side).

I had my usual whipping cream latte, and it was simply exquisite! Absolutely some of the best coffee I've ever had. And the architecture of the building it's in is sublime. The interior is stylish and cheerful, exactly as a coffee shop should be.

3/31/26 Addition: Got the usual again. Completely delicious again.

Talked to the Barista, and was told most of their coffee beans come from an Italian roaster, though one type is purchased directly from the grower! They even had his name.“

“Pablo’s was my first “real” coffee shop after I moved to Denver. The place is known for both its setting and location: It’s unique. But it is often busy due to both those reasons. I have had several good conversations with people but also have the occasional eavesdropper, who throws you a look or two. Prices are moderate but the food can be “generic” as this is a more “coffee-focused” shop. But you can still find authentically made scones and whatnot, so not really bad.“

“We are so glad we stopped to try something new! Excellent customer service, we were greeted as soon as we walked in and given an amazing rundown of all the delicious food they have to offer! Baklava was perfect! I can’t remember the name of the meat pastry but it was so good!!“

“Great coffee, nice vibe, good.“

“Having a rough day, dropping things, running late, needed to calm down and breathe. Thanks to Jordan F who ( like a good bartender doubling as a therapist) was able to listen, soothe, and really ordered me a drink when I was indecisive and a mess.“

“They were prompt and friendly. I ordered an iced chai that had a good amount of ginger!“

“yes. but this happened. This morning, I was asked to leave Corvus Coffee by manager Emma. As I waited for my two sorority sisters for a good old-fashioned catch-up, a young lady was just about to sit in a chair I was saving for Lori Marks-connors and Kyrie Biddle when I asked if she didn't mind sitting one chair over because I was keeping a few seats. Agitated by my kind ask, she laid into me about me "demanding???" Where she sits. I said, "Oh, no, I'm not at all demanding. I'm just wondering if you wouldn't mind sitting one over..." and explained, again, that I was just saving the seats for the ladies - now in line for their coffee. Y'all, when I say how disturbing this young lady was, challenging me even when I asked her to stop going in on me and that I was not going to allow her to ruin my otherwise beautiful morning. She was saying all kinds of crazy things to me as others looked on. Then, because I wouldn't engage in an argument, she decided she'd ask the manager to do something 'about me' at which point you'll see the manager walk up to me on the video to accuse me of being rude to a customer and that, "I'll have to ask you to leave." Stunned, I then tried to explain my side (did you note Emma, the manager, never asked ME what happened but assumed I was the awful person, when THREE different people stepped in to say I was actually not the aggressor and the other woman was. Emma says wait, what?! Who are you vouching me or the woman complaining? and they all shared what they witnessed, and that was being kind to get before she started going in on me. The manager apologized profusely to me when I had to gently school her on next time take both sides of the story before accusing AND asking someone to leave the establishment. I was visibly shaking when she approached me until the very end, shocked, upset, and bewildered by it all, barely able to enjoy my girlfriends for the first 10 minutes - in my head, replaying over and over what had just happened. Needless to say we had a lovely time catching up, but the day was semi-ruined by a stranger.“

“Best coffee shop in Denver. I have been coming here for many years and the atmosphere, coffee, and pastries are top notch. The owner is genuine and caring and is likely pulling your shots if you visit. The coffee and pastries are from some of the best local roasters and bakeries in the area!“
