Lucy is a gem. The atmosphere is communal, welcoming, comfortable, authentic and quietly elegant and authoritative about coffee. This is evident from the name Lucy -- the 3 million year old hominid discovered in Ethiopia and sometimes referred to as "the mother of us all", the understated murals, knowledgeable, friendly and helpful baristas, and of course the curated and highly enjoyable set of coffee beverages. My favorite is the macchiato, but every drink is an adventure of taste, aroma and texture that reflects refined coffee craftsmanship. The coffee is complemented by a delicious assortment of Ethiopian food and desserts, and a welcoming community. Lucy must be experienced to be truly appreciated. Once you do, you will recognize that Lucy feels like home -- on the first and every visit. read more

First off this place is beautiful. The wood and light leather upholstery makes the place so bright and inviting. It's the kind of place you could settle in and spend an afternoon. Like other reviewers I heard about the Sonoma Chicken Panini. What I as a man who rarely shops at Whole Foods didn't key in on is that Sonoma chicken literally refers to chicken salad. That's on me, and explains why some are in love with it and others like were deeply confused. Service is decent but again, this isn't a fast food place. read more

This is a great Ethiopian owned coffee shop. I enjoy the chai lattes. I tend to get either the 12 ounce or 16 ounce because there's no way I can finish a 24 ounce of any drink in one sitting before it gets cold. There is a plenty of seating. A lot of people come here to meet with friends work by themselves and work or study in small groups. There is a little area towards the back of the main room that has a traditional Ethiopian coffee ceremony laid out, which I find interesting and cool to look at. There is another seating area in the back that can be reserved if you want more privacy. The coffee house also has coffee that you can purchase. There are a lot of different baked goods for purchase and quick meals that are made to order. I like it here. It's a nice calm setting with good lighting. It's clean. Whenever I'm in the area, I will continue to get a drink here. read more

I was really excited to try this spot, although it kinda left me with cold feet. The menu was great, and the option to jazz your coffee up based off of the first letter of your name and your birth month was so cute. I ordered a caramel macchiato and chicken BLT with the chipotle sauce. She asked me how sweet i wanted my drink, I told her sweet but not too sweet. Well sweetness is subjective, and my drink wasn't sweet enough. The chicken BLT was super oily. I think they use a chipotle oil not a sauce because the sauce was negate to be found. It has a hint of sweetness and spice which I liked. The chicken was tender. The tomato was ripe and lettuce was fresh. Overall it was a pretty good sandwich except for the fact that they only gave me one slice of bacon and the oil made the bread soggy. I expected much more, and was pretty disappointed. read more

Lucy's Coffee House is a true community gathering place. It is beautifully decorated with the most comfortable seating we have experienced in any coffee shop in Metro Denver. There are large tables for groups to come together socially or for business. They offer free Wi-Fi. The seating in the back is very private. They played relaxing and calming music that was a pleasure to listen to while drinking delicious coffee and sitting in comfort. Hannah was our barista, and she was lovely! She is a kind and friendly person who took the time to explain how to make reservations for the Ethiopian Coffee Ceremony that can be scheduled on Saturdays or Sundays. The Yirgacheffe coffee was incredible, so smooth! It is from Ethiopia--the birthplace of coffee. The food menu is vegetarian (no meat served) The noise level was perfect, indoor seating is plentiful (no outdoor seating), and parking is plentiful in the lot in front. In the restroom, the toilet was a bidet. I wish the menu were in a larger font to make it easier to read. I feel coffee shops in general need ample storage to keep supplies and clutter out of sight of customers. read more

This coffee shop is a great spot to meet up with friends or bring your laptop to work. There is lots of seating and outlets and the music is chill. I had a chicken panini and it was delicious. There was only one person working for a lot of customers so the wait time was more than expected, but for me it was worth the wait. read more

Lucy Coffee House - Chicken pesto panini - Coffee Roasteries Near Me - Aurora, Colorado

I ordered the macchiato, and it was really good. The touch of cinnamon makes it really good. The service is good. I did have to wait a little, but the staff was pretty much 2 people trying to attend to everything. Considering that they were very attentive. The ambiemce was cozy and comfy. I read a few chapters in my book on the couch, and would have stayed longer if chores weren't calling. read more

This cafe is very cozy. Light jazz music playing in the background. Lots of spacious seating of different variety, couches, bar stools, tables with hard chairs and cushioned chairs. Very clean. Nice service and friendly. Very reasonable prices on their drinks. I got the chai latte and a blueberry muffin. I also took out my laptop and worked there for about 40 mins. I donate plasma at Biolife once in a blue moon so it's a good stop before or after read more

The ambiance was nice, bright, comfy, and clean. It was open and inviting, so room for groups. Plus, they did have a large group room in the back. Service was sweet, kind, and positive! I dropped my nepolian dessert (Oops ) and they refused to allow me to buy another one. I was given a replacement with a smile. The food was great. We shared a chicken panini, which was exploding with flavor! Totally recommend it! And a nepolian... the 2nd one! The espresso was strong and flavorful. Try the Ethiopia one! The sprice juice drink was very different, not sweet. It was drinking an avocado with mango. It took a minute, but it was enjoyable. Overall, yes, you should try this place! It's a treat. read more

What a gem of a coffee house! Not only was their farm to cup Ethiopian coffee absolutely amazing, and their food delicious (I had the Chechebsa which is essentially torn injera bread tossed in Ethiopian butter and berbere spices served with plain yogurt and honey to drizzle over it... best breakfast ever!) but the owner is so incredibly nice. He stopped by to let me know the best way of eating the chechesba and truly has so much pride for his establishment. Run, don't walk, to Lucy for the best cup of coffee in Aurora! read more

This was our first visit to Lucy Coffee House and it won't be our last! The owners were so friendly and they definitely know their coffee. Their Ethiopian espresso is smooth, nutty, and delicious. The coffee shop is a large, open space with lots of comfortable seating. Highly recommended (although I'd like to see more gluten free snacks, and no up-charge on the alternative milk.) Lucy Coffee House is a must for coffee connoisseurs! read more

Lucy Coffee House - Americano - Coffee Roasteries Near Me - Aurora, Colorado

Stopped by to get some work done and was happy I did. There's lots of seating and a good amount of outlets to use for working. It's spacious so you don't feel too cramped either! There were lots of folks there chatting and socializing so it's good for that too! Lots of drink options to choose from, I ended up getting the Lucy's special tea which was great, it was new for me! It is tucked away in a little shopping area so it can be hard to miss! But luckily lots of parking. read more

This place has seriously good coffee. Every time I come by the staff are extremely friendly and make me feel so welcome. I love coming by to work or to get a pastry. I particularly love the mocha at this place. read more

What a charming coffee shop! Love the Ethiopian culture and the coffee is fantastic. I ordered the Americano and then had to run to the bathroom lol the owner waited until I was back to pour me a hot cup! It's attention to detail and service like this that is hard to find. The shop is so bright and inviting the moment you walk in. You could tell there were regulars and everyone seemed so friendly. This is your sign to come in and try out the coffee if you're on the fence! read more

I had this Lucy coffee house on my bucket list and finally have been able to check it out. First walking in the open space is super inviting with plenty of seating. The space has woven in much of the Ethiopian heritage throughout the coffee house through the decor. Now the service was friendly and the owner of the shop Mickey is very kind and you can tell he is passionate about his shop and taking care of the customers. I got to try the teff chechebesas which was delicious! So much food with a side of yogurt and honey which was the perfect pairing! The sprice smoothie was so delicious and fresh! It was something I really haven't had before the ingredients are so fresh and the avocado taste is something to get use to but I love it! I highly recommend checking out this coffee shop and will add this spot to my rotation! read more

The coffe is so good. Im always picky on sweetness level but this was just perfect. They had a very nice ambiance and the the employee making the drinks was very kind and patient while we looked at the menu. The place is clean and has a pretty big space to sit and work or study. 10/10 read more

The coffee was excellent -- rich, smooth, and perfectly brewed. I always order different coffee style, and the flavor was balanced with just the right amount of sweetness. You can really taste the quality of the beans. The pastries were fresh and delicious as well. The staff were friendly, welcoming, and attentive. They made me feel comfortable . Pls visit and enjoy this amazing place. read more

Cute from the outside. I ordered an extra hot latte. I went to them bathroom (about 2 minutes) and when I picked up my latte it wasn't even close to warm. I explained. She said it's because it was waiting for a couple of minutes. Server took latte and resteamed the milk for 5 seconds. 15 seconds later said it's hot now. Then said in a sarcastic tone, have a blessed day. I understand the server thought she was right and I was difficult. The latte was never hot. It was still not hot after her half hearted attempt to fix it. Latte was cold and sour. I have no idea what went wrong. $6ish down the drain. Rarely do I wish I'd just gone to Starbucks. But here we are. read more

Cute place with friendly personable staff, good lounge area with lots of seating, and yummy chai tea!

Our experience at this shop was fantastic! Upon arriving in Denver, my friend and I decided to treat ourselves and boost our energy levels at this spot, and it did not disappoint. The ambiance was lovely and well-maintained, the service was quick, and the coffee was simply delightful. We opted for the Ethiopian macchiatos made from their freshly roasted Ethiopian beans, and we were extremely impressed. Additionally, the selection of baked goods was exquisite, with the almond danish being a particular highlight for us. read more

Nice local coffee shop with great service and delicious coffee! Great cozy space!

My friend and I gave this place a try as we wanted to check out a new coffee spot that doesn't close at 2pm. We didn't think too much of it but the inside was pretty chill! The employees were super inviting. The seats were comfy too! Drinks: - Ethiopian Macchiato: this was good! You can taste the coffee depth and it wasn't too strong. I got it with oat milk because I'm lactose intolerant but the barista accidentally made it with regular milk. She stopped me before I drank it and made me a new one. She let us keep the first drink and my friend enjoyed it. I really appreciated her honesty. - Egg Sandwich: It wasn't too bad. The egg wasn't overly or underseasoned, lots of bell peppers and the bread had a soft texture. It was quite oily though. Overall I can see myself hangout here to study or work more often. I wished they had more outlets though read more

I don't like leaving negative reviews but we had a very poor experience at this coffee shop and I recommend others to not go. I ordered the scrambled egg and Americano. We waited nearly 20 minutes for our food and drinks. The egg scramble wasn't awful, but wasn't good, and there was more broccoli than there was egg. It was served with a hot dog bun.... Pretty pathetic. I was then delivered my iced americano with oat milk that had no ice and was told they didn't have oat milk (after paying for it and all). I then asked for just a black drip coffee, which was not very good coffee. Furthermore, the establishment was playing Jesus music, which may be appealing to some, but not all. read more

It all depends on what you go to the coffee shop for I got there early. It was nice quiet and quaint. The food was delicious, but then as time went by it did start to get loud so I was unable to take a few meetings even with my headphones overall, it was definitely a vibe if I came to just simply chill chat or catch up with loved ones, but I wouldn't recommend taking a meeting. read more

Always friendly! They make me feel like I'm at home! and coffee is delish! The ambiance is also great! There's a very cute room in back for special meetings! read more

Iced latte was 10/10! The customer service was great! Nice ambiance for studying or catching up with a friend.

Stop what you're doing and go check out this coffee shop! When you get here, order the chicken sandwich. Maybe it's called a Sonoma Chicken Panini (maybe). You've never had a sandwich like this one and it's addictive and delicious! As a matter of fact, after eating the first one, the owner said he would make me a 2nd one for free, because I couldn't stop talking about the sandwich. GET THE SANDWICH!! After that, I had one of their juices. My juice was made with mango, avocado and strawberries! People, this is the juice to get! I left so full and satisfied. I can't wait to go back for that chicken sandwich!! The esthetic is very soothing. We spent 3 hours in there, just drinking coffee, snacking and talking. Imagine earthy neutral tones, with lots of sunlight and warmth. Finally, an owner who gets out and talks to his customers because he appreciates them. I left feeling like it was an honor to be there. Great work space environment. Great space to read and drink coffee. Great lunch spot. Great dessert and coffee spot. Great juice spot. Great place to play a game and enjoy some dessert. We deserve this type of establishment in our neighborhood so please go support it!! Just go! read more

Lucky enough to start New Year's Day 2026 here! Tried the macchiato with cinnamon and the blueberry croissant and wow, wow, WOW! Coffee's fantastic, the space is cozy, clean, warm and welcoming and the star is Carmel! She's such a bright light and we shared a fantastic conversation which made my first visit even more memorable. Already can't wait to go back with my daughter because the experience, the ambience, the hospitality, EVERYTHING was incredible! Thank you! A home away from home! Happy New Year! read more

I had such a relaxing Sunday afternoon coffee break/lunch at Lucy. The atmosphere was so calm and friendly, I could have stayed for hours. I got the cappuccino, plus chicken panini and a slice of cake. I ate the panini and cake too quickly to get a photo but they were so delicious! The sandwich was made to order, was fresh and toasty, and had the perfect savory/ sweet balance. The cappuccino was expertly made, and with the slice of cake, made for the perfect afternoon treat combo. This place is a spacious oasis in the center of busy Aurora. Can't wait to go back read more

Lucy's is a charming coffee shop. I love the decor. The staff is friendly and seem to be happy. I had the Ethiopian macchiato, delish, not too sweet, more cinnamon. I had the veg samosa, birds I milk cake and chechebsa Neff. The cake is like a honey cake with a little cream and a chocolate ganache top layer, really yummy. The chechebsa is a flat bread with Ethiopian spices that they serve with honey and yougurt. It's kinds of like a savory pancake served in cut up pieces. I liked it but not sure it's for the masses. I should have taken pic before I put in boxes, but I forgot. Everything was good, but I just really loved the vibe. Got a cappuccino to go which is my usual and what I judge if I'll come back to a place or not and it was really good. I rarely sit in coffee shops anymore, no time, but I would totally do it here. read more

Coffee is roasted by the establishment--Ethiopia Yirgacheffe whole beans $18 for 12ounces. It seems they serve and roast only this house coffee which is a medium roast. Full bodied, bold, described as apricot and black tea and I agree. I usually appreciate Ethiopian and most coffee lighter roasted yet I think they did a fine job. A 12 ounce drip was about $3.75. I bought the beans after enjoying the drip with cream. Friendly atmosphere for sure, lovely. Family oriented and thoughtfully decorated with comfy seating. Location? You would need to know it's here in a strip mall, or at least I had to seek it out as a local roaster. Food? IDK. I'm extra when it comes to pastries and food in general. There are muffins and bready items in the case apparently purchased elsewhere. I am embarrassingly interested in what goes in my food. I do plan to return. Ps. What would make it 5 star? A freshly baked treat to go with my coffee not prepackaged, simple ingredients like an almond butter cookie read more

This place is incredible. I came here with my girlfriend to grab a late breakfast. The coffee was incredible, and our food was delicious. I got the egg sandwich, and she got a chicken panini.

I'll definitely be coming back. read more
