    I stopped into this little coffee shop after brunch for an afternoon pick me up. The place was quiet and mostly empty. Perfect spot to read a book (which one person was doing). The Barista was friendly and quick. My medium latte was hot and hit the spot. I wouldn't say it was a standout or impressive, but it was good.

    Finally checked out @metropolisdenver this morning, trying their cold brew and a croissant! Cute shop that's a perfect pit stop while in LoHi.

    Almond milk cortado and a raspberry Italian soda.

    A good spot for a quick espresso drink. I enjoyed my almond milk cortado. My son's hot chocolate was rather gray-colored. The service wasn't too friendly, perhaps it was just an off day. I love Metropolis Coffee, but this isn't my favorite location.

    Cute coffee shop in LiHi. Staff super friendly and they make a good cup of mocha! I also appreciate that they offer a simply syrup for patrons to add to drinks if desired.

    Love this place. We traveled to CO from MN and always look for the best all around coffee shops. This place not only has the warmest and best inside vibes with the wood and metal accents really topping it off, their coffee is fantastic. I'm picky when it comes to how much flavor is in my lattes: I got a vanilla oat milk latte and it was fantastic. The barista was so quick with her service and so friendly!! I tasted more espresso then flavor and that's what I love!! Will def come back many tiMes. Still so thick half way through

    Latte

    The coffees great! The espresso is the perfect amount of acidic and chocolate flavor. Jeremy makes the best lattes and espresso!

    An old friend recommended this place. I've been hitting up espresso shops all over LoHi and downtown all week and I can say, without reservation, that this is best of the of them, for my tastes. And that's saying lot, because there is SO MUCH good coffee in Denver. I feel like their coffee sits favorably with places like Stumptown, Intelligentsia, and my local Maryland favorite, Vigilante. A solid Third-Wave coffee shop with cool and friendly staff (thanks Tim and Zach!)

    Great atmosphere but the coffee itself isn't that good. Very bland and dull. If you like watered down coffee this is the spot for you.

    Metropolis Coffee was conveniently located a few blocks from our Airbnb in LoHi and I made the fatal error of waiting until the last day to check it out.

My Texas friends have been raving about The Salty for ages. Unfortunately never tried it with them but now we have one here in Denver. Score. They have a handful of standard staples and then they do donuts for holidays, special events, the Super Bowl for instance. That being said this isn't a donut you grab and eat later that day or even the next morning. FRESH. Please eat these within twelve hours. Really just speaks to their quality but it's not a break room donut that hangs around for a day or two and the chemicals nuclear apocalypse preserve them like a Twinkie. Hot and cold drinks are available. Water. Juice boxes for the kids. Beloved Coke a cola. Standard cold brew, cortado, americano, lattes, and matcha. But they also do special seasonal drinks and drinks that pair exceptionally well with their donuts. Inside you have a handful of seats but for this area of Tennyson/Berkley it's more of a grab and go. You have the nearby park and obviously all the shops up and down the street. Plus what cute cups and boxes for donuts. It's a statement piece for sure. What a cute little donut logo. I somehow feel that the Call Your Mother bagel and Salty Donut are cousins at best. Seriously, check their fun logos! You can order to go online via their app/website/ or the wonderful InKind app. They even have a to go window so you can stay outside with your furry friend and get your caffeine and sugar fix to go. Staff is quick and friendly. Lines can take a bit on the weekends but during the weekday it's a quick in and out. They open early too so anytime before nine you can pretty much order and go. Welcome addition to the neighborhood. Will certainly seek them out on trips to other cities. Love their vibe and look. Very curious to see all the other stores and get their individual flavor or neighborhood vibe.

I had my sights set on a voodoo doughnut! The building was absolutely gorgeous! It had chandeliers and was very pink! I'm not sure if that's how it has always been, but with a name like voodoo, I was picturing something more dark and mysterious! This gave off cumbl cookie vibes... don't get me wrong, it was clean and pretty, just not what I was expecting. The service was subpar at best. There was no one in here, so when we walked in, it seemed like an inconvenience to serve us. We wanted to looked at their rotating doughnuts to make a choice about a second doughnut but felt very rushed by the man behind the counter. We got the voodoo doughnut and dirt. The voodoo arms were a bit fried out but the icing and raspberry insides were very good! My boyfriend said his doughnut was pretty average. Overall this was a pretty average experience and I really wish they would have a less Barbie vibe and more dark mysterious vibe!

I got a taste of their jelly from the side they gave me with my scramble and it was the best jelly I've ever had in my life. I'd so buy a jar of it to bring back home next time I'm in Denver if they have it for sale! Our server was so informative about the menu options and gave us recommendations. I was so indecisive with my coffee choice and he helped me narrow it down to a classic cappuccino- blessed! He was kind enough to let us order a to-go item ahead and placed it on the side for us to pick up before heading out. The food came out very quickly and pipping hot as well. The Boulder Scramble 8/10: Slightly heavy on the feta but who doesn't like cheese?! The potatoes were well-seasoned and the sour cream added richness to the meal. Sourdough was lightly toasted and extra yummy with the smooth side of butter and sweet jelly.

The variety of toppings makes it fun to mix and match. The Thai Peanut was unique and surprisingly good, but the Mexican Chocolate was the clear favorite at the table. I had the avocado toast. The side salad was a standout -- spinach, small orange slices, and a berry vinaigrette. Super fresh, light, and refreshing. My husband got the biscuits and gravy and said it had great flavor with a nice kick of spice. Vegetarian options were clearly labeled, with a note to ask about vegan swaps. The service, unfortunately, didn't match the food. We waited at the door for at least 10 minutes without being acknowledged. After we were seated, our server started taking our order but stopped midway to run someone else's food. We also never got water refills, and with just one napkin each for donuts and a full meal, I found myself folding and refolding mine a million different ways. Overall, service felt slow and a bit disjointed, like we weren't a priority. If the service improved, this would easily be a go-to brunch spot.
