    MCA Cafe & Bar Entrance

    The coolest part of MCA by far ... is the rooftop Cafe & Bar. After a quick cruise through the Denver Museum of Contemporary Art, we discovered the best inspiration of the whole visit ... at the peaceful museum cafe. The relaxing wood themes inside and comfy lounge seats outside were a perfect place to chill. The bar isn't large, but we started with drinks like a Hot Tea, Latte (with Almond Milk), and a Bottle of Beer. They were nice. Even better was a Cheese Board with La Dama Sagrata (Goat), Alp Blossom (Cow), and Idiazabal (Sheep) Cheeses. Almost as delectable was a Hummus Plate with fresh Tomato & Cucumber slices. The food, service, setting and drinks all made the MCA Cafe & Bar cool. The team behind the counter is cool. The quiet indoor space is cool. The airy outdoor lounge is cool. The upscale snacks are cool. The cold beers are cool. The downtown views are cool. Go to the MCA Cafe & Bar, you'll be cool.

    Looking for the perfect quiet spot to enjoy a bite to eat, get some work done, and peep a killer view of the city? MCA Cafe is the place! How do I know this? 'Cause I'm doing all of those things, here, right now! Here's the deal: I mentioned this in my review of the Museum, but get the digital membership for $1.95 a month. This is less than a cup of coffee and gets you into MCA (and the cafe) for free, plus gives you 10% off all of the food and drink things in the cafe. So like, I ordered a salmon salad and a Pellegrino (the salad was really good, by the way) and saved $1.40 as a member. That's almost as much as my monthly membership! Whaaaaaat?! The cafe is up on the roof and really quiet during the daytime. They have free wifi and a full food + drink menu (boozy and nonboozy things available, including coffee, kombucha, local soda, etc). Make sure to take a stroll on the deck outside of the cafe for majorly good views! Also, check out their events calendar for music, pop up dinners, etc. Happy you exist, MCA Cafe!

    A beautiful little cafe with an even more beautiful view! My friend and I came to do a little work and loved this spot. We had a couple treats and they were the exact type of mid afternoon pick-me-ups we were hoping for. We had to pay money to get into the cafe because because it is a part of the museum, so we walked through the galleries beforehand. However if we had just wanted to only go to the cafe we still would've had to pay that entrance fee (in addition to the slightly overpriced items). That's the only thing that would keep me from coming back all the time.

    I came here last Friday to an event- Lookout Club, and totally loved the place, starting with the huge elevator! The view from the rooftop (where the coffee shop is) is breathtaking, it´s a good place to get a drink or coffee and get fresh air walking around the big deck. If you have the chance go to the Lookout Club or a party... creative dj, and unique drinks made by a recognized bartender.

    Vibe Coffee and Wine is proof that a room can possess a great deal more personality than the human…read morebeings paid to occupy it. The architecture is undeniably handsome. There are towering ceilings and comfortable chairs. There are enough electrical outlets to power a small army of laptop philosophers who are pretending to write important books. It looks like a place where profound human connections ought to happen. Mine did not. The baristas handled my order as though enthusiasm had recently been made a felony by the federal government. They were not malicious. They simply performed the transactional ritual of caffeinating a stranger with the exact emotional investment of a parking meter. The beverage itself was perfectly adequate. Bad coffee inspires anger. This coffee merely inspired a quiet acceptance of my own mortality. It was average in that completely forgettable way that makes you wonder why you parted with currency for a specialty drink in the first place. If you need a nice chair to sit in while the world falls apart, you will find it here. If you are looking for a memorable cup or a warm human interaction, you will probably leave remembering the furniture.

    Such a cute vibe!…read more Street parking in plenty of parking garages so just make sure you read the signs. I was going on a first date here so I didn't get a lot of pictures but they have a wide open café with plenty of seating so it was very comfortable. We both got hot chocolate and the design they made was so cute. The hot chocolate was a good temperature, not overpowering chocolate and tasted really good. Overall, I like the vibe in vibe as in I didn't feel too overwhelmed, it didn't get too loud, it was a really great choice for our first date. The staff was really helpful and made our orders quickly. I would definitely be down to go back.
