Grounds for Dismissal Coffee

We got here a few minutes before 8:00 AM (stated opening time). At 8:06 the employee showed up. At 8:07 the lights came on. We haven’t had anything due to the staffs tardiness.

I’m disappointed. Not sure if it was an off day or what. I should have dug deeper into the most recent reviews. Also, seeing how the owner argues in replies to the reviews should have been a clear warning.
Got a breakfast sandwich and was expecting.. you know the normal, and I definitely got normal. I could have made it at home for a 4th of the cost. I watched the eggs be made in a mug in microwave. Haha! It was maybe one egg sprinkle of cheese and two piece of bacon. So, exactly what I ordered but way under whelming.
Chi was great! Service was meh, just seemed like normal college kids who couldn’t be bothered but whatever.
One last note. Please don’t mop with overwhelming bleach/ cleaner when people are eating. I couldn’t even taste my chi at that point it was so strong. If you know anatomy you know we actually taste primarily due to smell sensory, but anyways.
If you want an over priced breakfast/ drink, by all means, the hipsters working here will be happy to help.

French toast griller is by far the best breakfast sandwich I’ve ever had.

So we ordered coffee flights, the coffee wasn’t good. I immediately wanted to go to Starbucks. We placed an order For the strawberry stuffed French toast And the avocado bagel. After I order and paid The waitress decides to come over to our table and offer us alternatives because they don’t have cream cheese. They don’t offer a discount. This place is definitely overrated. I would not recommend coming. And if you didn’t have the ingredients for the stuff we wanted, why let us order it and pay for it prior to letting us know.

The coffee here was so overpriced and the croissant tasted like it was 3 days old. I feel ripped off.

I really love the ambiance, coffee & staff here but I just paid $8.50 for an Americano.... no milk of any kind...just coffee and water. What happened people? When did that become okay?

I love flights and GFD Coffee offers both coffee flights AND matcha flights! 🤩 They offer fun flavors though their website advertises 3 flights menus, one being seasonal, and this was not the case during my recent visit - no seasonal option. The flights are $22 for coffee and $25 for matcha, for the 6oz versions - pricey! The individual drinks and pastries are also on the higher end of coffee shop pricing, which may deter me from too many future visits. One big PRO is the spacious seating and games available! You can easily bring young kiddos here and they will be entertained while you enjoy your caffeinated beverage. Additionally, they have clean bathrooms, free wifi, and free parking. Service was quick as well.

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.
