I see the owner gets a little spicy in neg reviews so keep in mind I've gone to coffee shops all over Denver and the world so I have high expectations for my lattes. We came in on a Sunday and got 2 lattes. The total for those drinks was almost $18 which is crazy and totally not typical for Denver prices. I'm from Denver and there are plenty of other coffee shops in more expensive areas that don't charge $9 for a latte. I also dislike that you're forced to get a 16oz which is way too big for me and is obviously more expensive. Even though we ordered lattes with just one syrup the guy rang them up as the speciality drinks. I wanted a latte with pumpkin syrup for ex but he rang it up as the special pumpkin ube latte without ube so I'm pretty sure it ended up being even more than it would've been and he did the same with my partner's drink. I always seek out and will go out of my way for house made syrups so I was excited but these were sicky sweet and I even got mine 1/2 sweet. The guy making drinks was friendly but it took over 20 min to get 2 drinks and even then the milk texture off and they were way too hot. Both the guy and girl working were in super slow mode. All in all, the drinks seem more gimmicky than really quality espresso and flavors. I just really don't get how they can justify the prices.

Pretty pricy for what it is. While the print out menus near the register may have prices, the primary menu board on the back wall did not have prices. Just ok food, coffee wasn't great.

This place is not worth the hype!
The coffee was meh.
The lox bagel is better at Einsteins!
The stuffed strawberry French toast was not good.
Sad we wasted time and money here

Stopped in to try a new shop and work for a bit. Atmosphere is nice clean quiet with ambient music. Plenty of seats and a large outdoor seating area with lots of plants. Now for the coffee. We usually stick to coffee roaster and for a good reason. This coffee was absolutely terrible- ordered a chagaccino. Not sure if it’s the type of espresso machine, if the shots need to be calibrated or what but the coffee tasted burnt and left a bad taste in my mouth. Ordered a French toast breakfast sandwich and we were so excited to try it. Did not meet our expectations, low grade ingredients, nothing special about the meal. We ordered two lattes and two sandwiches and the total was $50. Staff was friendly which is a plus. But most likely will not be back unless in a huge hurry and need a whatever coffee.

This business is not likely to last with a manager that has a hissy fit over negative reviews without self reflecting on what they are doing wrong. Prices are too high (as in I’m questioning fraudulent charging), service is slow, and orders are wrong. Here’s some advice, when you get negative reviews - try to fix your business without the attitude. It’s childish and unprofessional.

$3 to add half and half to my drip coffee? Sorry that’s not Denver, that’s not even NYC.

Come here if you enjoy the gen z stare, slow service, microwaved eggs, and a regular coffee instead of the latte you ordered. Nice, spacious spot that could be great if it had good service. Wanted to like it but left disappointed.

Read your reply and you clearly have me confused with someone else as I did not receive a remake and didn’t order a caramel latte. I also don’t think of myself as better than anyone else and insinuating that about me is a small and petty move for a business.

cozy lil spot with a banger selection of drinks and coffees. the owner and baristas were all really kind and well-mannered despite what seemed like a massive rush and were still able to get our drinks to us in a timely manner! apparently they make all their syrups in house too? chillest coffee spot i’ve been to and WILL be coming here again !!

Edit: turns out the employee who laughed at us was indeed the owner, based on their response to the review.

This place has a lot to work on. Came in and asked about vegan options given the menu says in big bold letters “ask about our vegan options” and the employee laughs, and says “there are none.” Then she asks me to on the spot come up with vegan food suggestions for her to add to the menu. It sounds like there previously were vegan options, so I guess I’d recommend just adding those ones back.

Then we ordered a vegan mocha, again because the menu has “vegan mocha” explicitly written out with a star next to it, the employee laughs again as if she had never heard of such a thing in her life. To make matters worse, the “vegan mocha” provided almost certainly had dairy in it, which we learned after the fact given how sick it made us. I’m not surprised by this though since it seemed like we were the first people to ever order it.

Took about 20 minutes to get two drinks, and we were near a woman who waited 30 minutes for her food, so long she had to ask if it had been forgotten about.

Overall the service here is unfriendly. We were laughed at twice for asking for vegan options that were clearly listed as available on the menu. The employees were really closed off and unkind not just to us but to everyone else around us.

The vibes of this place on the first floor of a tucked away office plaza are pretty sad, and the outdoor space is bordering on infested with yellowjackets and Japanese beetles.

Cozy place. Has possibly my new fave drink (Go Bananas with peanut butter). Vibe keeps me at peace with myself and the world.

Obsessed. Literally wondered out loud, where AM I?? It's so cute and cozy, tucked out of the way. Definitely coming back for that coffee flight and the fully shaded patio. Gluten free bagels too? Win.

Prob one of the more disappointing places i have been, sign says breakfast and lunch all day, wasn't allowed to order a breakfast item because they were not doing breakfast, for lunch all i was allowed to order was a BLT, club sandwich or a bagel 🙄 highly recommend using one of the local food places just across the road before you consider using here.

Me and my wife are big matcha fans, and this place did not disappoint. We came for the matcha flight, but we also got a banana cream pie. All 5 flavors were amazing and very unique. Definitely check this place out if you want a refreshing start to your day!
