    Coffee is good, nice latte with good foam. Cute spot with indoor and patio seating. Not much food selection, only a few small pastries. It's a nice coffee shop! Great for the area

    Metropolis is a cute coffee shop with good vibes! I got a latte (half caf) and it was great! They also had a gf apple cider muffin, it was incredible! When the door to the apartment lobby is open they have great seating, including 3 booths! The music was nice and chill and the barista was super nice!

    Stopped by before heading to the Nuggets Championship parade and was pleased to find a local coffee shop that serves good Guatemala coffee . They have anything from expresso, americanos to drip coffee and the staff was nice . I opten for a cortado coffee and added pistachio flavor . Also tried their cold brew coffee and their herbal ice tea and were delicious as well. Presentation of the cortado was beautiful. Next time you're in the neighborhood try it out and as always don't forget to support LOCAL !

    Friendly fast service. This is my favorite coffee in the city with the prettiest lattes. Chill spot to get some work done with minimal noise and distractions.

    Very quiet and clean. Not a big cafe but a nice place to get some work done. Smells so good when you walk in and the barista is very friendly not to mention can make a great cortado! The coffee is bold and rich without the over roasted bitter taste. It's like chocolate velvet. Just a tip you must be a customer to use the restrooms.

    Stopped in yesterday with my teens after some time at the aquarium. Nice cafe interior with simple decor and a basic drink menu. The highlight though were the homemade syrups. One teen had an ice chai and the other had a raspberry vanilla Italian some. I had a nonfat latte with hibiscus syrup. One thing we all noticed was that the syrup flavors came through without the overly sweet taste of the big name syrups.

    Yes, it's not roasted in Denver, but is instead from Herkimer Coffee in Seattle, but who cares because it still tastes better.

The three cozy pods were already occupied, but I was able to grab a seat at one of the two communal work tables, which gave me easy access to an outlet to charge my phone. They also offer free wifi. There were plenty of other seating options too, including lounge chairs and bar seating. They even have a billiards table! I ordered an iced London fog and opted for coconut milk, which is not typically available as a milk alternative. It came with vanilla syrup by default and was very good. I also tried the bacon, egg, and cheese breakfast sandwich on an English muffin. This was the only disappointing part of my visit. It seemed like a premade sandwich that had been reheated, so the bacon was soft rather than crispy, which is my preference. Overall, Vibe Coffee & Wine is worth a quick stop, but it is especially nice as a place to relax, hang out, or settle in and do a little work.

I decided to get The Botanist Cortado. I asked for less sweetness and got it made hot. It came in a pretty presentation and the coffee is as strong as it looks but unfortunately doesn't taste good to match. I can taste the rose syrup but maybe it masks the cardamom because I can't taste the cardamom. It was just not a good flavor for a cortado. They have one pool table here but it was occupied when I was here.

    Did someone say ceremonial Matcha? Hell to the yea!…read more I had bookmarked this place for our stay in Denver on our trek from California. We always like to scope out the best coffee spots ahead of time. Little Owl did not disappoint! First, it's always difficult to find ceremonial grade Matcha wherever you go. Most of the time it's Matcha mixed with a bunch of other stuff and at best it's culinary grade. The Matcha here was vibrant in color, smooth and slightly nutty. I elected to sweeten it with simple syrup and had it Americano. My husband opted for a vanilla latte with oat milk and while we've stopped at several places so far, this is the best latte we've had on our roadtrip. They make all of their syrups in house and the coffee was smooth and not bitter. The cafe is small and quaint. It does open up into a larger building with additional seating. Customer service was on point, and we even joked about the different types of Matcha and how some places use a ton of fillers and sugar.

    Ordered: 12oz Vanilla Latte (~$7)…read more Aya's take: Little Owl Coffee has a few locations in Denver so I figured the coffee here must be good! I tried the Vanilla Latte which was nicely sweetened, creamy, and soothing. The espresso was pulled well and gave me the caffeine kick I needed to start my day. They have some bar seating here but the cafe also extends into the lobby where you can sit and have a slow morning if you choose. Good try!

The staff was very efficient, but they were heads down and nose to the grindstone. There wasn't a warm greeting when we entered, and service felt transactional. They were very busy, but there was still plenty of seating. The seating is extremely comfortable, and the atmosphere is bright, interesting, and extremely pleasant. The music was a little loud for conversation. Parking was no problem on a Saturday at 10 AM. Some parking is metered.

Even with a full house, the place was very quiet, people respected the "wfh coffee shop" culture, and did not seem to be talking loudly or taking meetings. The drinks were great, not too fancy, but my Matcha was yummy. We also tried a gluten-free zucchini bread and a lemon pound cake which really hit the spot.

I love that this place was open later and I would definitely come back I know people have different remarks about the Wi-Fi, the staff gave us extra Wi-Fi codes in case we ran out, yes, there is a timer and you have to make a purchase, but they are very chill about it and will give you a new code if you run out

I liked that the atmosphere struck a good balance between not being too quiet so it feels weird to talk and not being too loud where I'm feel like I'm yelling to my friend and can't hear her. It feels like a great place to work or study. The baristas were extremely friendly, and I was impressed by the variety of baked goods available. I do wish there were a few more coffee drink options overall, but since they do mochas well, I would definitely come back.

But fast forward to 2026 and the era of tariffs and inflations, a $10 drink is the norm. And I'm glad I decided to give MTP another try. First time was good but didn't stand out. This time around, I left impressed. We were in Downtown to see Hell's Kitchen and I decided to bring my partner here since he's never been. This time, I ordered the ube jasmine sweet cream drink because it didn't look too powdery and artificial (the light purple color spoke to me). We also ordered the black sesame drink and both drinks were quite delicious and definitely worth the drive for the drinks (or at least the 14 min walk from the entertainment venues to here for a pick me up before the shows). They're not too sweet and I'm glad that they don't overload the drink with ice because I've been to some places where you get 90% ice. It's a modern milk tea shoppe but it's currently located in a plaza with plenty of outdoor seating and it's enclosed so you don't see the loudness of the city. I know they're relocating soon but I'll be back for sure.

The matcha did not taste diluted at all, but the texture was a little gritty. The staff was super nice and walked over to hand me my drink. I understand that high grade matcha is expensive, but I am not a fan of how the drinks are priced. $10.70 after tax is more than what I would pay for a good matcha drink in the Bay Area. That being said, my drink was really good and I do want to come back here to try their other drinks.
