I've been here four or five times in the month that I've lived in Denver. I love a sweet, creamy latte which is what I get with the snickerdoodle iced latte with oat milk. It's so peaceful, awesome local art, and I have yet to encounter an employee who isn't nice. read more

This place's currently having solid 4-star reviews is a bit of an overhype to me. At least I wasn't impressed with it when I utilized the business. The Cold Brew of the Day was some fruity one (at least that was how it was described by the female barista upon ordering.) She was probably the best element of my experience today as she was pleasantly answered my questions. My cold brew didn't have any fruity flavor profile in it at all. It was actually a bit boring as there were no distinct characteristics to it. The male worker who was nice to me (as I occasionally interacted with) had his buddies at the bar seating. They were obnoxiously and loudly talking to each other which distracted my little me time while I was reading a book. The store was okay-ish clean but they can pay a bit more attention to its cleanliness; for some reason, I felt that the place is a little run down because of some cracked and/or missing tiles on the floor. Not sure if I will return. 3- star is the best I can give to this place read more

What a fun place! Stopped in while apartment-hunting with my daughter. She had a very yummy iced coffee with delicious things mixed in. Unfortunately I didn't listen to her order, but I did try her coffee. The baristas were so friendly and cheerful! A very welcoming vibe. Nice atmosphere with tables, chairs, a sofa, and local art for sale! Unfortunately, she won't be living on this block because the leasing agents at Uptown Square refused to show her an apartment because we were late. She found another apartment instead. read more

Grabbed a cold brew to go. It was pretty mediocre and tasted pretty burnt. This place kind of gives convince store vibes but had quite a few folks posted up working or chatting with friends. Probably wouldn't recommend as a spot to hang out but it looks like they have lots of breakfast burritos if you're in a pinch downtown. read more

I decided to try fluid out because I wanted to work from a coffee shop. I ordered a breakfast burrito, and it was pretty tasty. The space is big inside and they could use more tables. They have computer chairs for guests, which is kind of funny. read more

Fluid Coffee Bar - Burrito - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Denver, Colorado

Worst Coffee Shop Experience Ever Hands down the rudest staff I've ever encountered. From the moment I walked in, it felt like I was inconveniencing them by existing. No greeting, just eye-rolls and attitude. I asked a simple question about the menu and got snapped at like I was wasting their precious time. As for the coffee? Utter garbage -- watered down, burnt, and somehow still overpriced. This place clearly survives on clueless foot traffic, because no one in their right mind would come back after being treated like dirt and served a cup of trash. Save your time, money, and sanity -- go anywhere else read more

Fluid Coffee Bar - I mean look at this mess ..... look like water - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Denver, Colorado

This was our first visit to Fluid and we really liked the ambiance. There's a cool little business center in the back of the building, but I'm not sure if it's open to the public or not. The barista was very friendly and they had gluten free goodies! We tried an M&M style cookie that was delicious. Unfortunately, my Americano wasn't very good. It was bitter and burnt tasting. My son's hot chocolate was very watery too. I'd give them another chance if I was in the area though, because I liked everything else about this coffee shop. read more

Super cute place! The coffee tasted high quality and came out in such a short time. Also had the raspberry croissant, and needless to say I was obsessed. It's placed in such a cute area and I love their half indoor/outdoor patio. The only reason it isn't 5 stars is because the chairs are a little uncomfortable. Otherwise I really enjoyed it! read more

I really wanted to like this coffee shop, but after two visits with inconsistent quality, I think it's best to look elsewhere. The service must be hit or miss. During my first visit, the staff seemed dismissive and unwelcoming. On my second visit, however, both baristas were friendly, which was a nice experience. On my first visit, I ordered an iced caramel latte with whole milk and the green chili burrito (which was recommended by staff). The latte was okay overall, but the espresso tasted slightly sour and the milk had an off aftertaste that I couldn't get past, so I didn't end up finishing it. The burrito had a strong freezer-burned taste, which made it hard to eat. Their salsa is good.. however the freezer taste overpowered that. I know the burritos are sourced from another vendor, so storage may be the issue, but unfortunately it affected the quality. I decided to give the shop another chance and ordered something simple on my second visit: a hot chocolate with oat milk this time since the whole milk last time was iffy. Super simple and basic. Can't really mess that up? Unfortunately, it tasted like lukewarm oat milk with barely any flavor. After both visits, I wouldn't recommend this place. I really wanted to support the neighborhood business but there are better options in the area with more consistent quality. read more

Please don't go here!!! I live nearby so I have tried to give this place a chance many times but recently I have had grey hairs in the pastries I have bought and have seen a lot of mice running around the shop (the workers see it to and don't care). The coffee itself is not great it's very artificial tasting and the shop is grimy overall. read more

Food Yes. Service the sweetest. Ambiance 5 stars. there are no dogs allowed inside. Yay!! the chais are smooth and the foods are fresh!. Thank you! read more

The service was great and my latte was perfect temp and taste. Definitely recommend. The shop itself is a little small but had plenty of seats so you could definitely stay and work on your laptop if you needed a change of scenery. read more

IDK how they do it but they have the most consistently miserable staff. Arguing with customers, arguing with fellow employees. It's fucking overpriced coffee. Not that deep. read more

Came in for the first time today! Got a caramel iced latte and a green chili burrito. I loved my iced coffee, I got a large and it was $7.00. The burrito was $6.00 and pretty good! It wasn't super green chili forward, I'll probably try another "flavor" next time I go back. The salsa is a must if you are getting the burrito, it's a bit dry without it. I loved the aesthetic of the inside and the order came out fast! I'll be back! read more

My husband and I have been coming to Fluid for years and it is consistently the best coffee in Denver. They have yummy treats too (try the pumpkin chocolate chip bread!). It's a cute neighborhood coffee shop, not fancy or pretentious. The staff are so kind and friendly, and it feels like they actually care, not just about the coffee, but about their patrons too. read more

Buen sitio para tomar café! Es más barato que las otras cafeterías en Denver. Mi café favorito es el Snickerdoodle con hilo, dulce y muy bueno. No te hacen esperar mucho e intentan ir lo más rápido possible. En mi opinión una de las mejores cafeterías en Uptown! ---------------- Good spot to get a coffee, cheaper than the average coffee shops in Denver. My favorite coffee is the iced Snickerdoodle. They go fast in placing the order, and always friendly with the costumers. Overall once of the better coffee shops in uptown area when we talk about quality/price. read more

Super cute location with great staff. I just wish they were more eco-friendly (paperless checkout system, small discounts for bringing your own cup, etc) read more

Walked uphill (one way) in the cold for coffee. I hate giving bad reviews, but real life isn't always puppy's and sunshine. Came in for coffee and food, and the staff were very friendly. The decor is Denver funkey (not our scene). We ordered both quiches and a couple of mochas. Because of the milk, the drinks were lukewarm at best (baristas should be cognizant of this). The quiches had good flavor but were soggy, so the crusts were not crisp. Overall, I would not come back here. read more

This is a perfect example of why American coffee culture is so bad. I had to wait 15 minutes to get an espresso, and it wasn't even decent. It's slow, expensive, and full of itself. Thankfully the baristas where nice and friendly, but the coffee is awful. read more

Fluid replaced the franchised Starbucks coffee shop that was in the Magnolia Hotel previously. It's the same lay out but much better quality. I am not hating, I actually like the bucks. I have had coffee, hot coco and lattes. Latte art on everything! Creamy milk and mugs if you order for here. They also serve some foods: cookies, burritos, salads and random stuff. I had vegan spring rolls here! I also like that they sell magnets. Yay magnets.... yay coffee, yay wine, etc. Lots of seating but only a couple comfy chairs. I am so glad it opened and look forward to my delicious foam with latte art. read more

When I travel for work, once I get to my hotel, I unpack and figure out where I am getting coffee in the morning. I know better than to drink the decaying packages of coffee in my hotel room to make with the $9 coffee maker. No, thank you. The coffee in the lobby? I am sure a kid has licked each item at that coffee bar. No, I am fine doing a quick Yelp search for the nearest and greatest coffee in the area. Fluid popped up as being, basically, around the corner from my hotel after this search, so I headed on over. Fluid is in a fairly nice looking, fairly new, fairly modern, fairly clean building. What is great is that when you head inside, it is a really cute local coffee shop with art on the walls and a great selection of to-go beverages. Similar to all of those local, salt-of-the-earth coffee shops, the service was not warm, but it was efficient. That is all I need it to be, so I was satisfied. I ordered an almond milk latte (so many coffee shops don't even carry almond milk-- bonus) and it was excellent. Nice work, Fluid. Stop on by. It will be a nice, quick break in your morning to get a good cup of joe. read more

My friend took me here because this is his favorite coffee spot. And it was close to his house in Uptown. First, I'd like to mention that the service was great. I love when the team remembers your name and even better when they remember your drink. I don't drink much dairy or coffee. My typical staple is a chai latte. The barista recommended their spicier chai because their regular sweeter chai contained dairy in it. I got it with almond milk. It was quite delicious. My friend got a freshly made cinnamon roll. It was very good. We sat outside and enjoyed their patio because my friend brought his dog. It's a great place to people watch and be in the shade. I also like that they are environmentally conscious by encouraging patrons to recycle their sleeves. All in all, I know I will be back. Maybe in the winter and I can try a hot chocolate or cider.

The service was great! The location was great.. the coffee.. not so much unfortunately. My husband actually poured his out.. maybe he got a bad batch. Maybe it was burnt... he just refused to drink it. The girls were so cool and sweet. I told him to tell them and they would make it right but I had just went up and did the same thing so he refused. I wasn't a huge fan either but I drank it. Everyone seems to like it because everyone we saw had a cup to go... lots of dogs in the hood and street parking. Board games and ole ty of seating inside. I like the 50cent humor!! I just wish the coffee was good. We should have ordered a specialty coffee. This is one. Offer place you can go to in downtown Denver without dealing with homeless folks sleeping outside or lots of smoke. We were staying at the Grand Hyatt and had to venture this way for clean safe food and java spots! Next time we will order off the menu instead of being basic black coffee folks! read more

Great coffee and food! The only thing is that is not easy to find parking. Nice place!

While waiting for my drink this morning, I heard one of the male staff members make a racial slur to a co-worker behind the bar and I am appalled. With your typical, washed up baristas who couldn't hack it in any other service job, I am not surprised. This type of interaction makes me question the integrity of whoever hired them and disgusted by this business as a whole. With everything that has happened, I didn't think I would ever see this type of carelessness in a city like Denver of all places. Never coming here again. read more

This was a great local coffee shop. My best friend just moved into the apartment down the street and hadn't yet gotten a coffee maker so I was desperate for some coffee and stumbled across this place. I was shocked to see how crowded it was at 10 a.m. on a Tuesday! I just got their regular Ethiopian blend but it was delicious! They serve the coffee in biodegradable cups, which I always appreciate as well. I didn't actually try any of their food, but it looked like they had some good stuff. I could also tell that there were a lot of local regulars there. The woman working at the counter asked the man ahead of me if he wanted "the usual" and that is always a comfort! read more

I was really excited to find this coffee bar at the bottom of the Magnolia Hotel where I was staying during my work trip in Denver. I tried both the featured cold brew and espresso macchiato during my stay and they both tasted great. For eats, they have a wide array of packaged things. One morning, I decided to try the green chile breakfast burrito which they pressed and warmed for me. It was so good! I forget the exact spot where these come from but it's somewhere in Boulder. The coffee and burrito came to less than $10 which was wonderful. To top it all off, the staff was very friendly even at the earliest hours of the day. There's wifi and plenty of seating. I would definitely come back and recommend it for anyone look for a caffeine fix downtown. read more

The iced squirrel is the best thing on the menu! Good service but the breakfast burrito is just alright.

Tasty coffee and baked treats. This place was rated as a great place to work from a coffee shop. Have to respectfully disagree with that assessment. If you have to take a call as part of your work, it's the wrong choice. We ended up taking our order to go because of the noise volume. Would definitely come back for coffee. But not if there's a chance of having to take a work call. The four star rating is based off the quality of the coffee shop. Not recommended for remote working though. read more

You can tell a lot about a coffee bar by their espresso. It's very easy to make a pour-over cup at home. It's even easier to brew in a french press. And clover coffee--really more of a gimmick than a superior method of brewing. But when the staff at a coffee joint know how to pull a great shot of espresso, then you can be pretty sure they know what's what when it comes to coffee preparation. So I'm in Denver for a conference and one of my colleagues tells me that I "must" try Fluid Coffee Bar on the other side of town. It might be a trek to get out there, but it is "worth it"--so he says. Was it worth it? Well, the espresso was very blonde, which could mean anything from a poor grind to over-extraction of the beans. It was also very bitter. But was it better than getting espresso at the convention hall coffee stand? You betcha! So, worth it? Maybe. I also thought about buying a bag of their NOVO beans to try back home, but all of their supposedly "fresh roasted" coffee beans were well past a week old. I'll pass on that. I give this place a generous 3 stars because of the cool ambiance, and also because, even though they are definitely not up to par with the likes of coffee bars in SF, Portland, Seattle or NYC, they might just be one of the best options in Denver. read more
