40 Best Coffee Shops in Denver

“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!!“

“Great place for coffee and friends“

“We stopped by here by chance as we walked down the street and had an amazing experience. Our barista was patient and super helpful. What an amazing stop on our honeymoon. 100% would recommend.“

“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.“

“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!“

“Dropped by on a busy Sunday afternoon with my sister. She got a tiramisu cafe and added flan I ended up getting a strawberry matcha with ube cold foam and flan. Overall the place was busy parking was a little hard to find I would drop by during the week. We roughly waited about 15 minutes give or take. The drinks were delicious the only thing is the flan tasted more like instant boxed flan. Regardless it was good and for being busy we got it in a timely manner . The space for waiting is not big so it was super crowded I will definitely be back when I’m in the area to try other matcha flavors.“

“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)“

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

“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.“

“Great coffee, nice vibe, good.“

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

“Our favorite matcha 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.“

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

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

“Whether it's sitting beneath the leaves of the trees on their patio or the chandelier and chic decor indoors, Steam Espresso Bar is one of my favorite spots in Denver for a respite. Not many outlets, so be sure to charge your devices beforehand if you'll need them. Also, plan for street parking if driving. I like the coffee and I also appreciate Steam's non-coffee options; I opt for a hot golden chai latte in the winter and an iced mango tango tea in the summer.“

“Queer friendly staff that has the best chai in town, highly recommend!

Dietary restrictions: They have different substitutes for dairy

Kid-friendliness: Open patio space seating is both kid and pet friendly, a family oriented space for the community“

“laid back atmosphere. Hard to believe that I used to shop at Cinderella City so long ago!“

“I love the Danger Monkey yummy!!! great place good service nice people love the funky atmosphere. Not generic or cold.“

“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.“

“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. ❤️🤗“

“Thanks caramel . That latte heated my soul. Alana Sharron Matthew Jordan great crew“

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

“I always come here when I drop into town to work remotely - they have a great indoor setup if you need to charge your computer and a lovely outdoor patio in the summer for coffee meetings. I usually run into people I know here and it’s very Cherry Creek, lots of finance bros coming in and out. Overall good vibes and my preference of the two Aviano locations in Cherry Creek.“

“One of the BEST deli. Sandwiches I ever had, and the Tall lady behind the counter was awesome! Looking forward to going back for another one.“

“Aviano Coffee in Cherry Creek is the kind of place that makes you want to linger a little longer—whether you're at the Detroit Street spot or tucked into the sleek St. Paul location, the vibe is effortlessly cool and welcoming. The baristas are not only skilled but genuinely passionate, always ready with a thoughtful recommendation or a warm smile that makes your morning feel a bit brighter. Both locations strike that rare balance between buzzing energy and cozy calm, making them perfect for everything from solo work sessions to catching up with friends.“

“Best caramel latte I have ever had!“

“It was morning and I wanted to get a sandwich. Roberto made my morning an exceptional experience with his kindness, jovial attitude and general love for the world. He made me smile and I, of course, had to tip such awesome behavior!!! Also, the team were all very sweet and friendly. Had a yummy sandwich that was enhanced by the amazing service I received! The sandwich was warm and toasty, I got the rocket sandwich and added two sausage patties. Yummy! They were generous with the ingredients. 5 stars for this spot!! I wish there was more people like Roberto in the world.“

“Great coffee, nice vibe, good.“

“Really like the food and the cocktails at this place. The space has some acoustical issues which make it a little difficult when it's busy due to noise if you're sensitive to that kind of stuff. The staff are friendly and attentive.“

“The food was absolutely delicious, especially the Salad . Great service and a cozy vibe. Can’t wait to come back! Highly recommend! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐“

“I’ve been coming here since I first moved to Denver in 2017, and it’s always been consistent! The pastries used to be a little bit better but that’s OK. I’m here for the coffee. I really appreciate that they are open until 5 PM. It used to be my favorite spot for sober dates.“

“Been here a couple times and they have always always been very friendly. Even called a day ahead to place a donut order for a party and it was super easy. When it came time to pickup they let me skip the line to purchase and leave quickly. Donuts are consistent and delicious with a highlight being the donut holes.“

“Delicious lattes and incredibly friendly people 🖤“

“The americano was perfect! I am a snob, but the ratio of water to espresso and the type of espresso (nicaraguan) they had on rotation was delicious.

The barista was kind and friendly, and the bar at the window was a nice place to work. It isn’t “comfy cozy” vibe, but for working or meeting with a friend it was great :) Love the windows and natural lighting. (pastry is from Lo Dough down the street)“

“Miga’s coffee located in the Green Spaces building had the best coffee we’ve had in Denver thus far. I came for the matcha on my matcha tour though and I tried the matcha mami. The matcha was great but I am not sure what flavor profile it was supposed to have. To me it tasted just like a LaLa Land matcha or Summer Moon matcha dream which is just matcha and sweet cream. The staff was super friendly and the vibes were hide away office vibes with graffiti art around the corner. Not my favorite matcha but it was better than some of the other matchas in Denver I’ve had. The coffee was out of this world according to my brother! Would recommend 7.2/10.“

“All the way from Scotland to find this hidden gem on 4th Ave. Thoroughly enjoyed the BLTs and Reuben sandwiches. Nice seating area at the rear of the shop. Will definitely return.“

“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 breakfast and brunch menu. Awesome food selection.“
