Denver Union Station is a very large, very beautiful monument to the idea that old trains are…read moreromantic. Inside sits Pigtrain Coffee, which sells organic beans from a local roaster called Conscious Coffee, and pastries made by an executive chef, or so I am told. The iced latte I purchased was perfectly adequate. It was cold and it was wet, which are the two primary things an iced latte must be. The organic beans did their duty, though my nervous system could not tell the difference between these sustainable crops and the regular kind. The drink did its job with no particular ambition. The prices are exactly what you expect when you buy a liquid near expensive historic architecture. There is a five percent surcharge added to the bill. Three percent of it goes to preserving the old station, and two percent goes toward a fair wage fee for the staff. This means you are paying for history and economic justice at the exact same time you are paying for espresso. The staff members moved with the heavy, unhurried rhythm of a long afternoon. Nobody was unkind to me, but nobody seemed terribly excited about the grand human comedy of caffeine distribution either. They simply, eventually, handed over the cups. If you need to drink something before you walk out into Wynkoop Plaza or board a train, this establishment will do. It is fine. Some days, fine is all the universe has on offer.

It was quite the journey to get to Denver from the Cotswolds in England and the opening of 2914 Coffee. This is one of the most inviting coffee shops in Denver with plenty of seating of all types (upholstered, tables and chairs, a large table for a group, inside and outside dining. They roast their own coffee beans, and the coffee is very good! The breakfast sandwich is so delicious that it is worth traveling to indulge yourself. Their seasoning of the eggs in the sandwich is perfection, and the bacon, sausage, spinach, melted cheese, and the crisp English muffin are all cooked perfectly to complement the egg. Pat and I had a nice conversation with Steph, who was extremely friendly and warm. The staff was kind, helpful, and efficient. There are street parking spaces and a parking lot behind the shop. The shop's noise level is low to moderate.

Walking around the area and stumbled upon 2914 - what a gem! Surprised this has never shown up on…read moremy radar. Everything is perfect. To start, they have Polaroid's of local doggos on their community board. The vibe is cozy and fun with hanging local art for sale, happy plants soaking up sun and cute wall decor painted near the chalk menu. Whoever picked the music knows what's up. Good mix. Couches (where I posted up with a good book) and big comfy chairs are scattered amidst smaller tables for friends to catch up, bar tables for workers to plug in, and even a long table with benches for larger groups or individual strangers to co-work in a pleasant setting. They also have tables and chairs outside to enjoy the sunshine. I didn't get any food (this time!) but their sandwich menu looks ace, as do the pastries. I gravitate towards seasonal lattes and opted for their Irish creme latte and um, yum! Not too sweet and a nice mix of flavors going on. The other seasonals looked good, too. Baristas were kind and know their stuff. So... Yeah. Come here. You won't regret it. I'll absolutely be back!

The espresso was dialed in perfectly, not too bitter and not too light. I couldn't really taste the caramel, but the latte itself was still delicious. 8.7/10.

There are just a few small tables and some outdoor seating here, shared with some other shops in this area. The service here was great. The two women working were quick, friendly, and answered my several questions about the menu with ease. I was impressed by their several iced coffee options, all straight from the tap--certainly a fun gimmick but also good coffee. My wife ordered a latte and enjoyed it as well. I would certainly check out Blue Sparrow if I were in the area again, and I do reccomend for anyone searching for a nice iced coffee spot in this part of town.

As of mid June 2026, these savory treats are fairly priced at $4.25. Dense and yet they still hold the nice fluffiness, the restaurant certainly does a great job of making these taste exactly like the typical elotes you can find at any (Mexican) restaurant. I could have gotten more than one although I was disciplined enough to resist my urge. For a downtown restaurant (LOL!), they keep the cleanliness in check. Decent service to where I quickly got assisted (although I wasn't necessarily in a hurry.) I can't wait to go back and get me more of those.

Very hip little coffee shop in a cutesy neighborhood just North of downtown Denver…read more Kaffe Are is serving up really good matcha. We didn't try the coffee, but we were impressed with the flavorful matcha, the spacious and comfortable interior, the genuine service, and the fantastic AC. For a hot summer day, an iced summer berry matcha really hit the spot, and in a city where the AC seems to be lacking during a hot July, Kaffe Are stepped up. The ambiance was chill, both literally and metaphorically. I would definitely hit this spot again. My friend lives on this street, and I told her if I lived where she does, I would be dangerously close to Kaffe Are. I would probably have to get a second job to support my visits!

I am writing this in hopes that the owner will relay this feedback to the staff and consider a…read morebetter approach to the current closing procedures. This was my second visit to Thump Coffee within a week. I rarely leave a one-star review; in fact, I generally prefer to leave positive reviews when a business provides a good experience. Unfortunately, today's experience was disappointing enough that I feel it is worth bringing to the owner's attention. I arrived at approximately 3:50 p.m. and ultimately left at 4:21 p.m. because of the closing procedures taking place around me. At approximately 4:15 p.m., a staff member began vacuuming the wood floors and moving chairs around the tables. I was sitting at one of the longer tables and initially assumed she was simply spot-cleaning. However, she continued vacuuming throughout the area and eventually began moving chairs around the table where I was sitting. As she got closer to me, I asked if she needed me to move. I was sitting near the wall and was trying to stay out of her way. She responded, "Oh no," and indicated that I could remain seated. She then moved to the opposite side of the table and continued vacuuming around me. I eventually asked what time the establishment closed, and she told me 5:00 p.m. I was surprised, particularly because it was only around 4:15 p.m. and there were still approximately 20-25 customers inside or around the establishment. I had just spent $16.86, including a 20% tip, and was there studying for my pilot's exam. I understand that employees need to complete closing duties and prepare the establishment for the end of the day. However, beginning those duties nearly 45 minutes before closing--particularly vacuuming around customers who are actively working, studying, or conducting business--made the experience uncomfortable and gave the impression that customers were being encouraged to leave before closing time. I would encourage management to consider scheduling or sequencing closing tasks in a way that does not interfere with customers who are still actively using the space. A coffee shop's atmosphere is a significant part of the experience, and having a vacuum running around customers while they are working or studying can be quite disruptive. On a positive note, the coffee and food are solid, which is why I was happy to return for a second visit within the same week. I hope the business takes this feedback in the constructive spirit in which it is intended. I would like to see Thump continue to provide a welcoming experience for customers through its posted closing time. Best wishes.

All of the hanging plants were a gorgeous touch. Upon arrival, the barista was so friendly! When I told her I was currently on a keto-based diet... she had immediate recommendations for almond milk and sugar-free options which I appreciated so much! This visit, I opted for a loose leaf tea blend of green tea and mint! I ordered it iced and she steeped the tea to perfection! Over ice, it was very refreshing and the perfect drink to get my day started. I would come back to order this again, but I'm now wanting to try some of her coffee suggestions! So, you will definitely be seeing me again, Lost City. This establishment was very clean and shared with a food vendor and bar area! So, there is something for all of your needs if you choose to spend a longer amount of time here. Also, the noise levels were very pleasant. For anyone wanting to work remote from this location, it would be a great spot for that as well! Beautiful setting, average noise levels, delicious beverages, etc.! I enjoyed my time here.
