I am a huge fan of Illy coffee. It is my coffee of choice at home, so I decided to stop in here on my way to work. I was the only person in line when I arrived. I have to say the barista was not very friendly. I ordered a latte and a turnover. The latte was great. It was perfectly made and balanced. However, I do wish the barista would have asked if I wanted the turnover heated before tossing it in the microwave. At most cafes, they ask first. Microwaving it made it super soggy by the time I arrived at work. The turnover itself was one of those pre-packaged frozen pastries that they just cooked on site. It was nothing special and even less so by the time I arrived at work. I would recommend this place for the coffee but avoid the pastries. read more

illy Caffè - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Denver, Colorado

I went to illy cafe late April and the coffee / cinnamon roll were great! The middle of the cinnamon roll was really soft (didn't have to ask them to heat it up either so thumbs up for service.) For coffee I ordered with Carmel syrup and honey. They don't have creative drinks so you make your own with different flavors. The shop was well decorated and in the lobby of a hotel (I think). Will be coming back! read more

illy Caffè - Coffee with cinnamon roll - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Denver, Colorado

Love it here!! Illy has always been my favorite coffee so having the caffe is so nice.

Whether your little on time, or using the Renaissance hotel breakfast voucher - take your time and efforts and run to either Caribou or Starbucks which are right around the corner. The iced coffee was so bitter and astringent - no amount of cream or sugar would help it. It technically wasn't even an iced coffee because it was a water diluted espresso. They do have a cold brew machine - but it looks like it was out of service. Cappuccinos were awful - I got two, one make with Almond, the other made with Milk. Both were diluted and were not Frothed adequately. It basically became an Americana with how milky it was. I also got a stale Croissant, and a Yogurt Parfait that was moldy/fuzzy and had an alcohol aroma. Clearly the baristas needs more training, both in customer service as well as in making Illy coffee which I've always known to be a good product. read more

Amazing Italian espresso and pastries combined with quick service at a very stylish store in the heart of Downtown Denver. Came here multiple times on my way to a conference at a nearby hotel. Highly recommended! read more

The woman working the cafe was so friendly and so bubbly with everyone. She was very fast and super attentive to everyone. You didn't have to wait long at all! I wish I would've got her name so I could shout out her awesomeness! Ham and cheese flakey croissant, yes, buttery, yes super tasty! And very reasonably priced! read more

No. Got a coffee and a cheese danish first morning I was in Denver. Coffee wasn't any better than you would find at 7-11 or a gas station and the cheese danish was inedible. I literally threw it away after one bite. I can usually "power through" something sub par but this wasn't worth the effort. read more

Great coffee! Ambiance is very nice as well as the customer service. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for a good pick me up!

Service was great but, the espresso was bad. I love Illy coffee. That's all I drink at home. I don't know if the beans are old or maybe they need to clean the machine but, that doesn't taste anything like Illy coffee. read more

I was staying downtown on a work trip and came here a few times to get a coffee/breakfast in the morning. The times I came, it wasn't so busy, so I was in & out pretty quick especially if you running late. Friendly staff works there, tasty coffee and pastries as well. They make a pretty mean latte so that was a plus! Prices are ok but slightly on the higher side. Nice little coffee shop with some tables and counters to read the morning paper too. Enjoyed coming here, definitely a place to come by for coffee when I'm back in town again. read more

illy Caffè - Latte and a raspberry triangle pastry - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Denver, Colorado

I love Illy coffee to begin with and wish there were more in the US. Was thrilled to find one when we were stuck in Denver due to cancelled flights.... Only wish it were open past noon , maybe it will be once the pandemic is over read more

Great service, but the breakfast wrap was mediocre and the coffee not so good. There are better places nearby.

This place is just not worth the money. I'd rather spend a few extra dollars to have better options and friendlier service.

Would definitely not eat breakfast or baked items here as they didn't look fresh but the non dairy cappuccino is worth the taste but not the price. At $6.50 it's way too over priced but that's the what one pays for the Illy brand. The baristas are super friendly and very nice to talk to. read more

I'm an illy fan and this place hit the nail on the head. The space itself is cute and small; a few small tables and plugs if you plan on working there. The coffee is tasty but pricier...for a medium flavored latte, I paid close to $6 or just as much as Novo. It wasn't as good as Novo but the ambiance and very quick service were worth at least 3 stars. Definitely not Starbucks but not sure high quality like Aviano...this is a nice middle ground. read more

I would recommend this place only for coffee, this is not a good place if you are looking to eat. I do not know if they just opened recently or what, but they definitely do not seem very prepared for a downtown café. They have several small sandwich/ bites on their menu, however they only make a few to sell each day because they don't want food to go to waste. I went with two other friends at 11:45am and they only had 3 sandwiches left, completely out of salads and down to the end on pastries. At 11:45am, this is before the lunch rush begins and they are already out of food after we took the last 3 sandwiches. Also, they are open until 4pm, it isn't like they were closing at 1pm. My friend said the coffee was good, but the half sandwich was really forgettable. read more

Why are they closed on weekends??? Why? What kind of business practice is that? Do people not drink coffee on weekends here? I'm truly confused. read more

illy Caffè - Lovely latte! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Denver, Colorado

I visit Denver on a pretty frequent basis from Orange County. Illy is always one of my first stops. The lattes are super tasty and very smooth, same with the cold brew. The atmosphere is nice and mellow, good place to hang out and get some work done, the stools are surprisingly comfortable. The two girls working there are so friendly, polite, and knowledgeable. I saw a lady comment about the size of the drinks, its Italian coffee... Italian sizes. If you wanted Starbucks so bad, walk a block. Easier to write a bad review I guess? Last thing we need is more Starbucks serving up diabetes in the country read more

It's alright. It's nothing special. Just basic food. I like that it's clean and the ambiance is open. The food is nothing special. Slightly fancy cafeteria food. read more

The absolute best espresso and cappuccino I've had in Denver thus far. The espresso isn't tart or bitey like at most other cafes downtown. I went here originally because it was the brand I remember drinking in Italy while I was there for three months. Needless to say, it tasted exactly the same. Love this little place! Also, prices are comparable to Starbucks, but so soo much better quality. (Sorry, don't go here if you like unicorn frapps or false caramel "macchiatos.") read more

Coffee tastes good. Baristas need more training though in the execution of the beverages, and customer service

Wow. Terrible service. They pulled the chairs outside on the patio at 3 pm, they close at 4pm. Nothing but to go cups (dishwasher broken). When asked to change the music, told to leave the cafe. Worst service ever!!!The illy Cafe management should be very concerned. read more

This Illy's location is in the lobby of The Renaissance Marriott, which is one of my favorite hotels in Denver. I was craving hot chocolate one morning and ordered it there. I ordered a medium and when they handed it to me, it appeared to be a small. When I asked the barista about it, she said that WAS their medium. For close to $4.00, it was good hot chocolate, but I was disappointed by the size of this beverage. And she was a bit rude as well. I suggest that Starbucks take over this location. It would do very well here. read more

This is a real espresso bar, with good coffee and a few food options. There are tables and umbrellas outside too. I've been here several times and the staff was always friendly. read more
