Great customer service. Super small shop and not what I was expecting from the outside. Delicious coffee and pastries but I would definitely take my coffee to go since I'm not a fan of small places. It was fairly crowded for their morning rush but service was speedy.
Matcha is always sublime. Not overly sweet and more natural tasting. Really love their ube as well. Staff is friendly, helpful and chatty. Not a ton of seating but lots of great sunlight. Tried the mango matcha this time. Missed the mark for me a little bit, mango flavor wasn't strong enough.
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.
One of my favorite places to get matcha and sit down and study! They have plenty of options to choose from. If you cannot decide, definitely try anything that has "carbon" in the name. They have good amount of tables but not all have access to an outlet. They get very busy during rush hour and on the weekend, so come early to snag a spot! Their pastries are also very good, you can always find an asian-inspired scone here :) Overall, I highly recommend trying this place especially if you are a matcha lover. The staff & owner are always super friendly!
Incredible! I will totally have to go here again. I went here specifically for Mile High Asian Food Week. I got the Tokyo Fog-their take on a London Fog. It's Oolong Tea, Earl Grey Syrup, and a Matcha Foam on top. Holy cow. One of the best drinks I've ever had. It should be noted that I have never really been a huge fan of matcha. However, this drink may have converted me. I will be back again, mark my words. Lol. I also got a Pandan Coconut scone as well. It was huge but went really nicely with my drink. Definitely want to try their Ube scone next time. I got here right at 7 AM, when they open. Parking was easy and the shop was very clean. There aren't a ton of spots to sit down for large groups, but lots for pairs, so I'm not sure I would necessarily count on sitting down here. Its aesthetic in general, is simple and clean. Finally, service was very kind and did an amazing job at making my drink.
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!
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!
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.
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!
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.
Let's start off with the location .... You can see right off the main street which I think is wonderful... when walking in, the ambiance was so urban and modern ... love the simplicity of the place ... The staff was great !!! Benny the owner was there helping me out making suggestions... 10/10 The maple pecan with oat milk , OMFG! Loved it , I should of ordered 2 of them .... Obsessed My pumpkin hot coffee was yummy but simple ... They have a reward system, so make sure to sign up. Yes! I will be coming back and yes! Ordering my maple pecan again. read more
Aiden (not sure if I spelled that right) was amazing! So so helpful with giving recommendations and made the yummiest maple pecan shaken espresso. The ham and cheese croissant heated up was HEAVEN. Highly recommend this spot! So happy it's only 10 min from my house because I will definitely be back read more

So yummy and sweet staff! One of the best places for matcha in the area. I loved the coconut pandan matcha read more
Soooooo yummy and sooooo aesthetic. The service here is also super quick! Some of the staff are friendlier than others, but I have never had a bad experience. I have tried the mango sticky rice matcha and ube latte. Both are really good. I prefer the mango sticky rice matcha, the mango flavor is super fresh and goes well with the matcha. The ube latte is good too, I prefer lattes that are slightly more robust in coffee taste and this one was slightly lighter. If you like tastier and lighter lattes I am sure you will like this! They also dont upcharge for alternative milks which is super nice. read more
If you're a fan of different flavors and creative drinks check this place out! Their menu has both coffee and matcha, with some of my favorite twists like Ube and Pandan that set them apart. I had the mango sticky rice latte (yes, it's as dreamy as it sounds) paired with the Pandan coffee cake -- Not pictured: a cozy hojicha latte and a Ube scone that I shared before I could snap a photo. Everything absolutely hit the spot. **Heads up: parking can be a bit tricky. The small lot is shared with other retailers, and I had to wait a bit for a spot to open up. But honestly, it was worth the wait. read more

Love this matcha, it's about a 25 min drive from me and I hate to say that I drive that far for this matcha. Haven't been able to find another like it in Denver area read more

Stumbled on this adorable coffee shop right next to our hotel while visiting Denver, and I'm so glad we did! Not only was my latte made with love, it was made by the sweetest barista with a seriously handsome smile! The vibe was cozy, the coffee was delicious, and it instantly became our favorite little stop on the trip. Can't wait to come back next time we're in town. read more

I've been here twice now and I love it! It's a nice lil coffee shop fight by the hospital. They have 2 large tables and 3 smaller tables and then a bar you can sit along. The staff have always been friendly and nice and the coffee is delicious! Where I think this place really shines is their pastries! I've had the raspberry one and my friend had the sausage onion (any something else) one and it was fantastic! read more

I love Carbon Coffee! The people here are so sweet! The place is very cute but also has plenty of spots to sit down and share a coffee and a treat or one of those delicious burritos! There are also lots of plug ins for your chargers and for you to set up your laptop and get your work on! I just got a mocha latte with oatmilk - for anyone that knows me knows this is my go to and I've been trying them out everywhere and Carbon Coffee does it so well. It's the perfect mix of smooth creamy but not too sweet while being delicious and giving me the kick I want for the day! I got mine to go today also with a bacon burrito hot to go which is currently in my belly. I saw they also had banana chocolate chip bread - so good those are out of boulder ... a great extra snack on the go! They have so many treats and drinks and I look forward to coming here again soon with my foodie friends as well I know it's a big hit with my fellow coffee lovers! Thank you Carbon Coffee and the whole team here! read more
Carbon Coffee is THE coffee shop to visit in the area! It's a cozy little nook tucked away on Colfax and conveniently located near CU Hospital. The owner is absolutely charming and has a fierce memory for people's orders. Their baristas are skilled too. Best of all, their alternative milk has no upcharge! Thank you! We were recently here on a Saturday afternoon and the place was nice and quiet, a great spot to do some work or get in some reading. Highly recommended. read more

Delicious pastries and coffee, what more could I ask for. The space is very clean and gives a nice modern, minimalistic aesthetic to it. I also appreciate the staff who were friendly and served me quickly. I got their pumpkin spice latte, which I was not a fan of because of Starbucks but this place actually has good pumpkin spice coffee. The coffee also wasn't aesthetic and I can taste the nuttiness of it. Give this local coffee shop a try and alsways support your local businesses! read more
Loved this coffee shop! Sleek modern decor that had a really nice peaceful vibe. I loved my chocolate chai latte. Beautifully made and also had oat milk which is always a plus. The pecan maple latte was delicious as well. They had a nice seasonal menu and also a nice normal menu as well. The pastries were good but not amazing. Most definitely would go back for the drinks. read more

Been here 3x now! New favorite coffee shop in my area. Quality coffee and tea drinks and the baristas are so nice. Also met the owner Benny and he seems to really care about his customers and community, and I love that. I'm always supportive of a local business. Will be coming back many times! One of my favorite drinks is the dark chocolate chai. So good! The last time I went, they made an ube matcha for me even though it wasn't on the menu, and I loved it. Their pastries are sourced from Banh and Butter, another great asian-owned cafe. read more
The building that Carbon Coffee is located at has its own parking in the back, so it was easy to find a spot. When you walk in, there's a nice photo spot to the left of the entrance door. The Coffee shop itself has a welcoming but chill ambiance, perfect for a place to spend time with friends or to just study. The owner and the workers/baristas were friendly, knowledgeable, and provided great service. They took the time to answer our questions regarding their different drinks options, milk options, and any recommendations they had for us. Now, the important question is, how are the drinks? I am a matcha snob when it comes to Matcha lattes. I decided to try their Banana Milk Matcha Latte, which the owner shared that he got the idea/inspiration from the taste and flavor of Korean Banana Milk. If you know Korean banana Milk and like it, this drink is for you. I was worried it would be sweet, but their banana cream/Foam, matcha, and milk ratio was perfect and well balanced. I was impressed that the banana milk didn't over power the matcha. The second drink was their Hojicha Latte with brown sugar. Similar to the banana milk matcha latte, I was worried that the drink itself would be too sweet with the brown sugar. There are some shops where the brown sugar is diabetic, but once again, their drink surprised us with how perfectly balanced they made their drinks where there was a hint of sweetness and didn't overpower the tea flavor. Definitely will recommend trying Carbon Coffee and look forward to their next seasonal drink. read more
I've been here twice now and both times have exceeded my expectations! The coffee is terrific, the customer service is great, and the food is delish. We had the pleasure of chatting with the owner and he is a gem of a human. I throughly enjoy all of the pastry options and love that are locally made! The seasonal beverage menu is awesome, I especially am hooked on the maple pecan shaken espresso. Do yourself a big favor and pop by! Ps there is plenty of parking! read more
Such a cute little coffee shop! Very modern feel and the barista was super sweet and helpful. They were able to easily answer my questions about the menu and coffee as far as how it was prepared. I went for the yelp elite event and was given a free drink and pastry. I'm not a sweets person and told them I would pass on the sweet pastry but the barista offered me a couple other options that were on the savory side. Such great service! I got the matcha latte with oat milk which was so yummy and not too sweet! The barista offered to warm up the Danish I got making sure to ask if I had time to wait 5min, very thoughtful. Come check this new snazzy place out! read more

The iced strawberry matcha was so so good. Not too sweet. I don't usually drink matcha but had to get it. I HOUSED it down. The banana latte wasn't over poweringly sweet, not too much of a banana taste (in a good way) with cinnamon too. Couldn't really taste that much coffee but still feel slightly tweaked lol. Also got the iced mocha, you can't taste the coffee at all. It def has potential to be good. Might have to ask for an extra shot read more

From the moment we walked in--immaculate vibes, super friendly service, and lightning-fast drinks. But let's talk about the MATCHA The coconut pandan matcha latte was next-level--perfectly blended, smooth, and packed with unreal flavor. Easily one of the best matcha lattes I've ever had. Huge shoutout to Benny and the whole team for creating such an amazing experience. If you're in Colorado and love matcha, this spot is a MUST. read more

stopped by here on a Monday morning and it was such a great choice! The location is conveniently located right by anschutz campus so it's perfect for students and people to stop by from the hospital. The vibe is clean, cozy, and modern! There are lots of plants, a giant window at the front, and great music playing. Plenty of seating with outlets making it a great place to work as well. I got the maple shaken espresso and blueberry danish. The maple espresso was so delicious, it was perfectly balanced without being overly sweet. The coffee flavor came through beautifully and the flavors complemented the coffee beans instead of overpowering it! It was a great sipping coffee. The blueberry danish tasted fresh and was beautifully presented without tasting overly sweet. Overall, 10/10 for both the coffee and the pastry! I would come here to catch up with friends, or to sit and study for an afternoon. The barista was so kind and knowledgeable, the atmosphere was very welcoming. Great new coffee shop in the area :) read more
It's always a great experience when the owner is also the Barista. This was a cool spot I stumbled across due to seeing they had an infamous UBE LATTE! One of my favorite flavors. And it was certainly good. The ambience was pretty minimalistic with not much seating, but a great place to pass through. I'd happily nest here for some remote work or studying if I could snag a table. They also have a decent selection of pastries, both sweet and savory. The greatest charm comes from the Thai influence on the drinks. Some even feature the owner's family recipes with the obvious addition of caffeine. I'll be headed back soon to try the Thai Tea Egg Nog Latte! (New to the upcoming winter seasonals). And then a few more time for all the others great sounding drinks! read more

The drink was amazing--never thought I'd try a mango sticky rice coffee! Super creative. It's a chill coffee shop, perfect for studying or getting work done if I lived in Denver. Plus, the drink came out pretty fast, which is always a bonus. read more

This is a new shop that opened in the past month. Easy access from the nearby hospital, with plenty of parking. Matcha latte was well done! I think the milk flavor was a bit strong for me, but I also like matcha on its own without milk, so that one is a personal preference. Breakfast danish was insane, could eat that for breakfast every morning! Lots of outlets here if you need to charge up or get some work done. Wifi is available. Ambiance is pretty clean. Not my personal favorite atmosphere (I think real plants would be cool if possible), but it feels good enough for a cafe atmosphere. Music choice was good for a cafe; not distracting and in the background. Too many cafes in Denver like blasting music way too loud, and I feel like that defeats the purpose of being in a cafe. Definitely stop by here, well worth it. read more

This place is trendy! When I arrived, it was packed and there was a tiny line. The line went by fast and I was greeted w/ a nice smile and ordered a mango sticky rice matcha and an ube coffee cake. All the drinks arriving at the counter in front of me looked so fresh, delicious and beautiful! Worth the 18 mile drive. Just might do it again. read more

Very cute place. Love that they offer hojicha lattes as you don't come around this frequently in Denver. They do matcha well and have ube flavored drinks and pastries, which I am a sucker for. The seasonal drinks are unique and make you want to come back to try them all. Friendly staff and they made the drink look so cute! read more

Barista was nice and welcoming. Waited in a long line and it didn't even take that long to place our orders or get our drinks. Cafe was nice and clean and the drinks were great. I wanted to try the Kinako Hojicha and the Mango sticky rice matcha so I got both. Definitely liked the kinako a lot more. My friend got the matcha tonic and it was good but not as good as the minako, loved the bitter aftertaste. Would go again if I lived here read more

I visited a few months back during a Yelp event and I spoke with the owner about their exciting new matcha menu he was going to release. Well today was that day! Benny, the owner, is very down to earth and kind. He takes time to get to know his customers, and the environment of the cafe is welcoming and calming. I tried the Strawberry Matcha, Hojicha Latte, and Ube Matcha, all very new flavors for me. What I appreciated about the Strawberry Matcha was that it used fresh berries. I usually enjoy my matchas more on the brown sugar and caramel side, I think someone who enjoys more fruity flavors would fall in love with this drink. I will admit when I got home I played around with the drink and added my own brown sugar syrup and I think I may have changed my opinion on the drink. It sounds like a weird combination but I liked it. The Hojicha was very mild in taste and had a nutty tone that came behind it at the end. I've always wanted to try Ube, today I can say I loved it! It was very reminiscent of brown sugar yet unique in its own way. I would definitely order it again. They had some other items on their matcha menu I didn't get to but looked pretty exciting! read more
