I love coming back here. This is a cute and cozy coffee shop located in a shopping plaza. If you decide to bring your laptop to work, they have outlets along the wall and wifi password. They have a lot of options for treats and snacks. The staff is always welcoming and friendly. I walked in about 8am on a Thursday morning and within an hour the place was filled with customers catching up over coffee. It is a lovely space to hang out at.

What a great place to get fresh, made to order, crepes! A friend and I recently visited Ground Up Coffee to try their crepes and drinks. Walking up to the shop, we noticed 2 tables with some chairs underneath 2 oversized umbrellas. While deciding what types of crepes we should try, the savory ground up favorite caught my attention while my friend decided to go with the sweet strawberry & cream. We also got a drink to go with our crepes. Mine was the tradition Thai iced tea; a latte was what my friend chose. While we were waiting for our orders, I noticed the person behind the counter started to make my crepe. First, she poured the flour mixture to make the outer layer, a thinly base to start. As it started to cook, an egg was added and spreads over the mixture. Once that is cooked, she started to add a red sauce, then grounded sausage, bacon, potatoes, and then the cheese. The entire process took about 5 minutes. In the meantime, as she was waiting for the savory crepe to complete, she was preparing the strawberry & cream crepe. The outer shell of the crepe was already made, she cut and added the sweet strawberries, the whipped cream, and the strawberry sauce was drizzled on top of the delectable dessert. We decided to split our crepes so that we can savored the moment, and boy, both crepes were delicious in their own way. Having the saltiness from the ground up favorite, and then sweet strawberry & cream right afterwards was a heavenly eating experience. My Thai iced tea was very good. Not overly sweet, and it hit the spot after eating the crepes. If you are in the area and looking for a uniquely eating experience, I would stop by Ground Up Coffee Cafe for both food and drinks.

Our family had a pleasant coffee experience at this coffee shop yesterday. It was our first time to visit Ground Up. The location was convenient off of S. Kipling & W. Belleview on the SW side of Denver in Littleton, there was enough free parking for this business and strip mall, the shop was nicely decorated on the inside and outside, we were welcomed upon entering, there was a surprising amount of wooden chairs and tables available inside, a few comfy chairs and sitting area near the front window, and a long-table with several bar-stools and power outlets near the front window on the other side, several small tables with chairs outside the shop, no music was playing for some reason, the employee who took our order was friendly & knowledgeable, there was the full menu nicely and clearly displayed on the wall above the front ordering counter (reasonable prices), they had several good, delicious choices for lunch (my burrito was tasty but a bit small, and my family had delicious crepe's), service was solid and friendly, the dining room and restrooms were clean and did not smell at all, lighting was good, not sure if there was free WiFi, they had a cute little table off to the right side of the front counter with half-n-half, sugar, Stevia, stirrers, water, and small cups.

Sausage breakfast burrito (with hot sauce)

My daughter and I stopped in on a Saturday on the way to gymnastics. The service is incredibly friendly and the community engagement is warm like a small mountain town vibe. I enjoyed the sausage breakfast burrito and iced vanilla latte. The IVL reminded me of the consistency of a boba tea drink at first which was a new take on an IVL and I quite enjoyed it. My daughter loved the cake pops and especially the sprinkles atop her iced vanilla steamer. A sweet surprise!

Tiramisu Coffee

Consistently amazing tiramisu lattes! Been here a few times and have really enjoyed it!

Pistachio White Mocha & Tiramisu Latte
Emma J.

My friend just moved to Littleton, so trying some of the new local spots! Today we got two specialty coffees - pistachio white mocha and tiramisu latte. They were both good and something we'd order again. We also felt the price ($14) for 2 medium specialty drinks was reasonable! They have a bunch of drinks, treats, and other food items we'll have to return to try.

Peach Cobbler Crepe and Iced Almond Milk Tiramisu Latte
Siobhan P.

Saturday mid morning stop for a crepe and it didn't disappoint. Busy but not bad, this place sits right next to a Safeway and has 4 small tables out front but a good amount inside. The peach cobbler crepe was fantastic, sweet but not over done. The latte was mild and perfect. Next time a savory crepe is for sure calling my name and you can make your own or choose from their recommended offerings. They have chai, matcha and lemonades as well.

Caramel Coconut Latte
Estefania S.

I love finding new coffee spots. Especially ones that offer such a variety, and from my understanding most, if not everything is made in house. Whether you like iced or hot, or whether you have a sweet or savory tooth, they really have something for everyone. Friendly staff! And to my surprise they have a bunch of tables for people to work, study or just savor their purchase! I have my eye on a few drinks, so I'll definitely be coming again!

Cafe Latte
Kieu L.

This is a cozy coffee shop that offers a variety of food and drinks. They have a few unique cakes that I will have to come back to try. The latte was very good and the Lox Crepes were delicious!! It wasn't as crowded when I was there so the food and drink came out fast. Highly recommend!

Usually…read morethere is a a little bit of a wait, but when it ismy time, the employees are extremely helpful in finding me cupcakes and brownies I would really enjoy. I am addicted to the chocolate caramel brownies. It is the best dessert item I believe I've ever eaten. It's gotten to the point where I ask family to hide them from me because they're so good I can barely stop myself from gobbling them down. Every cupcake I've tried has been very good or excellent, with just a couple exceptions. I think now I've tried 16 different flavors. I love that they have so many varieties. Butterscotch Grove is very generous with the frosting, which is the best part of any cupcake in my opinion. I really enjoy this store. All of the offerings are displayed well, and the employees have been fantastic. The ambience of butterscotch Grove reminds me of when I was a kid and I went to the bakery with my mom.

I've tried a few of each, and many of the flavors kind of resemble each other, but they're fun to try anyway. I like the themed and seasonal desserts -- it adds fun to the experience! The macarons are exorbitantly priced, in my opinion, but everything else seems priced ok. There always seems to be a decent line waiting to purchase goods, which isn't so bad because it gives extra time to decide what flavors to buy. There's not a lot of seating, but I usually bring it over to Panera to eat after my lunch.

One word for this local gem: WOW! Honestly, coming into…read morethis shop blew my mind. Every item from the cakes to the pastries and cookies to the matcha and espresso drinks were stunning. Just gorgeous products everywhere. I went on a weekday at 2pm so didn't know what kind of inventory they'd have, but they had everything I'd possibly want. They had cake slices, full cakes, and all kinds of goodies available. I have no idea why I haven't been here since they're a short 5-minute drive from my house. But now that I know how amazing they are, it's going to be dangerous! I had heard that their spring fling cake was their "flagship" item, so I went in planning to try a slice of that and then I saw they had a full coffee/matcha/chai bar. So I also ordered an iced matcha latte unsweetened (LOVE that their matcha is quality and not pre-sweetened mix) with a toasted marshmallow cold foam. All I can say is that if you're going to the Starbucks across the street, do yourself a favor and come here instead. My drink was perfectly made and I got to support a local shop. In addition to my cake slice and matcha, I also couldn't resist getting a jumbo pumpkin chocolate chip cookie. It was moist, absolutely massive, and had a great balance of the pumpkin and dark chocolate, which is my fave. No over the top sugary sweet taste, just a well-balanced fall treat. Now, the spring fling cake I'm sure you've been waiting to hear about: Divine! And hot dang, are those slices massive! You are getting every penny worth of money you spend here. It blew my mind that for all three items I got, my total was $20. The cake slice was so big, in my opinion one slice could easily be split between three people. It'll likely take me and my husband a solid couple days to make our way through it. And once again, the flavor was balanced with fresh fruit, a nice tart cream cheese tasting frosting, and not the kind of sugary cake that will give you an instant sugar headache. This cake is what dreams are made of. I haven't even mentioned how good the service here was. The girl at the register was SO sweet answering all my questions as a first time customer. They had a line when I got there and they got to everyone super quick. I loved my experience here so much that I plan to go back this weekend for a full cake! Plus, I've already told my family about this bakery so it can be our new go-to for party treats when we need them! Do yourself a favor and do NOT skip this spot. If you're craving a special treat, need a cake or cookies for a party, or just want your daily caffeine fix: absolutely go to Eternal Flavors!

Little did I know that they offer more treats including flan cake-like, homemade macaroons, Mexican wedding cookies and other affordable cookies, among their amazing and delicious variety of cakes. The Mexican wedding cookies came in a bag of five, but as you can see in my photo, I ate two on the way from the bakery shop to home. They are so good! Highly recommend this purchase. Service here was great. The ladies behind the counter were very helpful and answered all of my questions. They were very friendly too. Moral of the story: sometimes you have to stop and smell the flowers. In my case, stopping by here once in a while to see what's going on with this bakery to see the treats.

They have a purple Ube cake that would match the theme perfectly. Before I could get any details out or speak to the baker, they told me I needed to go online to submit a custom order. The cashier told me the smash cake would be a 4" cake and that in order for them (the bakers) to make it, I would also have to order cupcakes too. Online "All Custom orders start at $200 regardless of the size of the order." Plus the cost of cupcakes? The Ube cake is a 6" for $60 and a single cupcake was around $5? I'm all for supporting local and supporting Filipino businesses. I took the time to visit in person but it seemed very unprofessional that not one of the bakers (even seeing me as I was talking with the cashier) came to discuss the details of the order with me in person, what justifies the 3x charge for a custom order for a smaller cake and cupcakes (that I don't need).

We only needed a single-tier cake for about 24 people, and they were a perfect fit for what we were looking for! We drove up for a tasting, and while there were a few moments that felt a little disorganized, the cake itself was absolutely incredible. Every flavor we tried was some of the best cake we've ever had! We ultimately chose the pink champagne cake with raspberry Bavarian cream filling, and it ended up being my favorite thing I ate at our wedding! We sent over some inspiration photos for the design, and they completely brought our vision to life. The finished cake looked like it could have been straight out of a wedding magazine! They also went above and beyond by allowing us to pick up our cake on a Sunday, even though they are normally closed that day, which we really appreciated. There was some miscommunication within their team about our pickup date that gave me a bit of a heart attack leading up to the wedding, but thankfully we were able to get everything corrected and the cake was ready for us exactly when we needed it.
