I tried lilac coffee for the first time and really enjoyed it! This is a local coffee shop with a drive-through and a walk up window. There's some seating outside on a small patio for nice days but be aware there is no indoor seating. The best thing about lilac coffee is their seasonal drinks! I had an iced spiced lavender latte, and it was delicious! A little savory, not too sweet, and you could really taste the coffee! They use Corvus coffee, which is a really great coffee roaster here in Denver. If you're hungry, they also have a few pastries and breakfast items. Overall, I had a great experience, and I love that Lilac is local and uses really good quality ingredients for their drinks, while keeping prices reasonable! I will certainly be back! read more

I have been wanting to pop by this drive through location for some time now. The wait was not bad and the line move quickly. The menu has a little bit of everything. The coffee wasn't my favorite and bitter to me but the strawberry matcha was amazing. I would def come back for the matcha and try some other things on the menu! read more

We've gone here like 6 times this trip we are obsessed. New to us but my husband said this used to be a burger drive thru when he grew up here! Their pastries are awesome. Particularly enjoying that strawberry pico iced latte. Have tried nearly all the others and they are also all GOOD! Help these folks out while construction on Colfax is messing up the traffic flows. Thanks for the lattes!! read more

My friend recently moved to Colorado for school and I stopped by to visit her. We wanted to try this coffee shop because of the lilac colors to it. The shop itself is so cute. Everything is purple and looks so aesthetically pleasing. The vibes are good for Instagram pictures if you're into that. The pastries were absolutely delicious! We were so excited that we were able to get our hands on some of those. The coffee was also really good, however, I do have to say that it was so strong! If you're into that, this coffee would be right up your alley. We loved it, but we both couldn't finish our drinks. The lady taking our orders was extremely nice and the service was quick. We would definitely come back if ever in the area again and we want to try other pastries. read more

Lilac Coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Denver, Colorado

My new fave reason to cross Colorado Blvd! It's not too far from Petco on Colfax so I will be frequenting this place! My first coffee here was the Korean cereal iced latte for $6.50 which is an excellent price point for me and the value and experience was so fun! The lilac color of the bldg just elevated my mood and it was a bright sunny day. They have flowers and bright colored chairs outside. People can drive thru, walk up or sit in the sun! There were lots of walk-ups along with me and a line of cars so the place seemed popular! A mom and her kid, a group of teens, some YPs. I was killing time in the sun and caffeinating between a Petco run and a key drop from a cat-sitting booking. I didn't need to look for any pastries because there was cereal in my drink! So fun. Friendly staff. I look forward to going there again! read more

Had been wanting to try this place since it opened and it definitely lived up to the hype! I love the seasonal flavors they come up with. I went to the drive thru and it was super quick, but next time I want to go inside. Make sure to support this local coffee shop, especially since they're on the strip of colfax going through construction :( read more

Lilac Coffee - Seasonal summer iced latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Denver, Colorado

Lilac Coffee is the cutest drive-thru coffee shop! If you're looking for unique and yummy drinks, this is a great AAPI small business to support. You can tell they use real espresso and high-quality coffee compared to other drive-thru coffee shops. We got the sweet corn macchiato and iced jolly pong latte. Love that they have Asian/Korean inspired drinks that are hard to come by in Denver. Will be coming back to try other drinks! read more

Be on the lookout for the adorable lavender colored building when you're near East Colfax! Finally had a chance to swing by Lilac Coffee and enjoyed a delicious Honey Lilac Latte (with almond milk)! They are celebrating their one year anniversary with daily deals all week (April 7-12, 2025). They do not charge for dairy substitutes, yay! Friendly and efficient service. A few spots to sit outside, but if you need a drive-thru coffee spot, this should be your go to! read more

This is a new AAPI owned coffee shop. The exterior alone is bright and pretty enough to catch your eye as you're driving by. They have a drive through and a walk up and order counter. There are pretty lilacs dangling inside. Parking is available in the neighborhood streets. They do have some outdoor seating but it's pretty meh. Not a whole lot of seating. I ordered the honey lilac latte with oat milk and it was delicious. I'm not a big coffee drinker so I appreciate it when I can taste the flavor of the drink I ordered. I can taste the honey and lilac aroma from each sip. The honey lilac syrup is house made so I recommend that. I think they're still getting used to the flow of customers. The orders get confusing because people could order the same thing so someone who ordered after you may get your drink before you. They need a new system for the order at the counter like take a name or a number and use that to call out instead. read more

Lilac Coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Denver, Colorado

Employees were very very sweet and nice. I ordered the honey and lilac coffee and to me it tastes like a Keurig pod / has a cardboard like taste with not much flavor. And for some reason I thought I'd be purple haha. I think I need to go back and try something different? read more

This is our go to spot for a quick and delicious coffee plus breakfast burrito or ham & cheese croissant. The drive in is so helpful for us late people The staff always makes it a pleasant trip, and the unique lavender building gives it a fun twist to visit. read more

I love supporting a small business and the coffee is really good. This was my second time coming because I wanted to give the benefit of the doubt but the wait is just too long. There were 4 people working today, 2 cars in front of me, and I waited over 10 minutes before I was able to get to the window. 17 minutes from start to finish on not a super busy day is too long. The cars in front did not get alot of drinks so I am wondering if food was the hold up. The steam of people not working should have come to the several cars waiting and took our orders to move things along. The same thing happened the first time I came and I ended up parking. The problem is there isn't much parking to do this. The coffee is a great price, tastes great, is high quality from Corvus so hopefully they can figure out this little glitch. read more

Lilac Coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Denver, Colorado

I love this place! The espresso tastes amazing and I love the vanilla syrup! My go to when I'm in the area. It's quick and easy to grab before work and the baristas are always so lovely! read more

I'm glad I was able to swing by this place!! It's truly a drive-thru coffee shop, so there's no seating inside. However, I did notice they had some seats outside, so a good spot for warmer days and good weather! I had a question about the difference between a cortado and cafecito and they were so kind and explained it to me. I loved their drinks and so I definitely would swing by again! read more

Good coffee and offers large sizes. I feel like they aren't getting as much business because all the annoying road work but highly recommend. read more

I wanted to love this place, i have gone multiple times but each time the workers attitudes are just so poor. This morning they didn't even see me at the window because they were sitting on their phones, then they made my coffee wrong! Waste of time and money in my morning. Makes me want to never come back! read more

Since opening a few months, I've quickly fallen in love with this new neighborhood coffee place. Not only is their social media off the chain, everyone involved with Lilac Coffee Express had been amazing. I've stopped by a few times, and their product is wonderful! The first few times I went, I indulged in their classic Honey Lavender Latte, but this weekend, I branched out to try their Ube Macchiato. I'm so glad I did! They utilized the ube flavor to perfection! What I really like about this cute little shop is that in a world of extra charges for nut milks, they don't add a fee and will make the drink dairy free for the same price. I want to shout out Morgan, who was very sweet today when I stopped by and let me do a bit of trauma dumping when she asked how I was doing. I have been dealing with some uninvited guests at my apartment, and Morgan commiserated with me over it. Thank you again for your kindness. This place should be a stop on everyone's list, especially because it's hard to miss! There is limited parking, or you can go through their drive-through. read more

Lilac Coffee - Ube Sweet Cream Iced Coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Denver, Colorado

First off I was so happy when this place finally opened. I'm a little late posting my review but the lilac lavender latte with oatmilk (iced) was amazing. So happy that (at least the time) they didn't charge for milk substitute. That's unheard of. Makes the sensitive tummy girlies like me feel seeeen. The service was phenomenal. They were so sweet and seemed so happy to work there. This place definitely deserves 5 stars. I'll definitely be back. read more

Lilac coffee is my fav!!! Great service and better coffee! I would highly recommend!!!

Drinks are delicious, staff is incredibly friendly and offered pup cups as well :) the perfect little drive up coffee shop!

I have been to this place a couple of times! I have had really good experiences and love that they bring a variety of flavors and honestly coffee combos that I love. The wait wasn't long as all and they were pretty personable. I loved that they have vegan and vegetarian options for food too. read more

Hands down THE BEST ESPRESSO TONIC in Denver! I've been searching far and wide for the best espresso tonic, I've tried a dozen shops in the Denver area and I keep coming back here! It's crisp, refreshing, and so so delicious! I live on the other side of town near Sloan's lake but I'll drive across town just for this drink.... It's THAT good!! Support this brand new shop, they're amazing and the service is ALWAYS top knotch! The drive thru has come in handy too! read more

Chorizo burrito and latte were amazing! No extra charge for alternative milks. Drive thru is amazing and a rarity in Denver!

My sister and I stopped here today for a quick drink before lunch and were both thoroughly impressed! The location is very easy to find; being that its such a pretty shade of purple on the outside, that really helps it stand out, and it was easy to navigate through, both workers there were so kind, got our orders and drinks through very quickly. I ended up getting their matcha with lavender in it, absolutely amazing! It had a perfect level of sweetness and was well balanced on flavor, the lavender gave it a perfect little twist to the earthiness of the matcha. such yummy drinks, especially their honey lilac latte! This would be a perfect spot if you enjoy a chill quick stop for drinks! read more

SO GOOD!!!!!! So creamy!!! Coffee is delicious and the syrup is so good too not too overpowering. 10/10 will come back soon. read more

Lilac Coffee - Iced white mocha - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Denver, Colorado

The breakfast burrito was 'fine'. Service was absolutely lovely. But the cappuccino was subpar, unfortunately. We are regulars at various Denver spots either because the beans are out of this world (Pablo's, Torpedo) or because the breakfast burritos are (Tessa). I probably won't finish my cappuccino. There's something about the taste that is bland and sweet. Not for me. I prefer a much stronger espresso taste. read more

The iced brown sugar macchiato is so good! One of my favorite drinks here. I love that this place opened up on colfax and will definitely be coming back! read more

Great staff. Very accommodating and the coffee is great. Would absolutely recommend stopping by.

Best coffee in Denver and the staff is always so nice! My favorite is the cinnamon roll latte!
