    Friendly, inviting and quick service. Outlets are set up for easy plug in for laptops. Nice variety of hot, cold and seasonal beverages. Clean restroom and seating area.

    Came to Carbon Coffee to try out their matcha drink. They have plenty of parking in the back and the inside is perfect for hangout, study sesh or quick work spot. I got the mango sticky rice matcha and my sister got the hojicha latte with earl grey syrup added to it. Both of them were just okay. The flavor was not as strong and both drinks were very milky. I wish it had more strong matcha flavor to it. Hojicha was not bad but still it just tasted very milky in the end. I'm glad we tried this place out and might come back to give it a second try to see if it's better.

    Absolutely loved our drinks and experience here. It was empty on a Sunday morning, so service was super quick. The barista was really sweet and welcoming. We got the strawberry matcha and ube latte iced w almond milk, both 10/10. Not overly sweet, just perfect. I love that they weight out their matcha, very authentic!

    Been to Carbon Coffee a few times and the drinks always are yummy. The only employees are incredibly accommodating and will offer to make changes without being prompted. The shop is a bit narrow, making it a great place to work or read!

    Chestnut Cardamom Latte
    Jenni W.

    The wife and I popped in here early on a Sunday morning; it was quiet with no other patrons, just two very nice employees. Small but well utilized space. We chose to "sip in" thus our bevvies were served in real coffee mugs, but to go cups are of course available. We both chose seasonal lattes- Wifey had the Chestnut Cardamom and I had the Bourbon Bells; both were fantastic! Latte art, perfect foam to milk ratio and a harmonized blend of flavors. They offer a variety of milk alternatives, including pistachio milk which I haven't see offered anywhere else. It appears they are masters of matcha and offer quite a variation of this; I've never been a big fan of matcha but I imagine if that's your jam you would want to explore their intriguing offerings such as the Blueberry Lavender Matcha. Bonus: Local Beans available for sale supporting local roasters Servant and Sweet Bloom. Highly recommend!

    Beat matcha in Denver!! Each matcha is whisked to order, not premade in a squirt bottle like others... Even with this, service was still fast. Flavors are balanced perfectly, always creamy, and come out the same every time you come!

    Black Sesame Matcha Latte and Pandan Mango Scone

    Small local coffee shop with a fiercely loyal following. Despite "coffee" being highlighted in their name, their delicious matcha and hojicha tea drinks are probably what they're even better known for. It's located just across the street from the Anschutz Medical Campus, so you'll find lots of healthcare workers and students camped out in the middle of the day and afternoon. A decent size parking lot exists behind the building but is shared with several other retail spaces so can get tight during peak hours. And not to worry, you can enter through the front or back doors, so no need to walk around the block with your hands full. Once you find yourself inside, take a peek at their main menu behind the bar, but also the posted seasonal specials located on the counter. Housemade syrups elevate their standard lattes to even more heavenly sipping experiences. If you've got a hankering for Asian inspired flavors, look no further - ube, black sesame, and pandan feature prominently in their craft drinks and pastries. I like that they partner with other local businesses in their products as well. One complaint I do have is that there's not really room to stand to wait for your drink during busy times given how narrow the space is between the bar, tables, and merch shelves. You're bound to get in someone's way while they're trying to come in from the front or back entrance. The only other downside of Carbon is the disappointment you feel when you finally get to the ice cubes clinking sadly in your cup when you reach the end of your drink.

    Earl Grey Matcha
    Megan W.

    This shop was quite busy when I visited during the day, which is a good sign :) Great place to get comfy with your computer and get work done. I was just passing through, so I grabbed a drink and left. My earl grey matcha was simple and delicious.

    Matcha and hojicha
    Alison C.

    It was so rare that I was on this side of town, I knew I had to stop by this coffee shop. I've heard amazing things about this shop. I have come to yelp to confirm, it absolutely lives up to the hype. This is one of the few places I can say I'd reorder the matcha latte. Creamy, but full of matcha with the perfect balance of sweetness. The hojicha was also fairly authentic and had a great earthy flavor to it. Service was quick and friendly. There aren't too many tables available, but great for a solo work day.

    Okay, let's start with the year round banana milk lattes... I'm obsessed and every time I'm in Denver I make it a point to drop in here for one. BUT LATELY they've been making things hard on me because their matchas are really freaking good as well. Today I ordered a spice pear matcha and OMG I was not prepared. I'm in heaven! The service is always so accommodating and kind. They clearly take pride in their coffee and their space. If I lived locally I would be here daily!

    Ube matcha with latte art
    Sean F.

    Carbon coffee was a nice find for my afternoon matcha fix. Carbon is a small coffee and matcha shop with a pretty chill vibe. There's not a whole lot of tables if you're looking for work space but if you're lucky enough to grab a seat i think you can pretty easily find a good flow state. They got the traditional coffee menu items plus some fun ones like a banana latte. They've got good matcha options and I ended up getting the ube matcha with oat milk. The ube flavor was not overpowering and I really enjoyed the drink. The service was friendly and I enjoyed my visit.

    Mango matcha
    Dawn W.

    Great service, nice atmosphere? And amazing matcha. Creative flavors like mango sticky rice matcha. Seasonal flavors like Cherry blossom. They were busy but, have a great system to get drinks out fast. I can't wait to go back. They should do a matcha flight because it was really hard to choose!

    Carbon latte
    Sebrina B.

    Multiple sweetened matcha options here, I tried the iced oat milk ube matcha and it was quite enjoyable. I also had the hot carbon latte later on thàt day and that was my type of drink. Baristas are friendly and knowledgeable and will sometimes include the owner. It can get crowded throughout the day but wait times are bearable. Given that the wifi was reliable, playlist interesting but not annoying, and temperature slightly chilly I would recommend it for remote work. Seating is limited though so be sure to have an alternative spot you can go to.

There is a little area towards the back of the main room that has a traditional Ethiopian coffee ceremony laid out, which I find interesting and cool to look at.

They played relaxing and calming music that was a pleasure to listen to while drinking delicious coffee and sitting in comfort. Hannah was our barista, and she was lovely! She is a kind and friendly person who took the time to explain how to make reservations for the Ethiopian Coffee Ceremony that can be scheduled on Saturdays or Sundays. The Yirgacheffe coffee was incredible, so smooth! It is from Ethiopia--the birthplace of coffee. The food menu is vegetarian (no meat served) The noise level was perfect, indoor seating is plentiful (no outdoor seating), and parking is plentiful in the lot in front. In the restroom, the toilet was a bidet. I wish the menu were in a larger font to make it easier to read. I feel coffee shops in general need ample storage to keep supplies and clutter out of sight of customers.

I asked for cream and sugar, and she said it was on the counter inside. It was a giant cup of coffee (which is awesome) but it was filled to the top. So I burned my hand when I spilled it, trying to get in sugar. By this time I was very frustrated. I went back to my table and my food came up almost immediately. The server was smiling and friendly. The food looked amazing and tasted even better. Iordered almond les leches french toast, cheese grits and bacon. The greats are okay, but nothing specia but the french toast was out of this world. It was thick, cut, smoked bacon that tasted fantastic. The server and the food saved this visit for me. I am going to assume that the woman at the counter was having a bad day and not let it keep me from coming back.

Unfortunately, it didn't taste like traditional Vietnamese coffee. It was quite mild and lacked the bold, rich flavor and sweetness that Vietnamese coffee is known for. I truly hope the owner will consider refining the recipe to make it more authentic.

The kind man offered me any item I wanted on the house, because they loved the drawings I did. I imagined they threw the drawings away, but to think they actually cared a lot about it made my week. Maybe even my month. A huge thank you to everyone who works here for being extremely kind and understanding. You gave me a place to be, somewhere I don't need to worry. Thank you. Now, for an actual review, the food here is very nice. All I really ate were the avocado toasts because that's all I'm familiar with, but of the two I tried, the supreme queen toast is the best. For service, the people here are very kind and attentive. Very respectful. And helpful, they will not make you feel stupid for having questions or needing a smaller menu (I have very bad vision for a 15 year old...). The ambiance is very nice. People are doing whatever they want or need, and don't care about you. Which is a good thing, especially for people who don't like loud or overwhelming spaces. Being open 24/7 is also very wonderful. Sometimes we're up late, after a day of forgetting to eat or just not having to the time to, having a place to eat and hang out is nice. It's also very cold, which is good because it's been very hot outside. Overall, this place is amazing. And I'm very sad to be leaving this area soon, but I hope I can come back again one day.
