Went to metropolis coffee in early January 2026 and they did not disappoint. I wish I grabbed her name but the barista up front recommended the brown sugar syrup cappuccino and I'm so glad I listened. The interior is well decorated and gives the vibes of a coffee shop as well. Will be coming back. read more

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

Love this coffee shop! Best coffee in town and such wonderful staff. Coffee is consistently good.

I utilized this business a long ago. Inviting atmosphere, clean modern environment, good service, and quality drinks were all checked when I made a quick stop to grab some caffeine boost. If you order a doppio (double espresso), just order a single one because a single automatically comes with two shots (which this kind young man told me upon ordering.) This is a quant small shop so I don't know how busy it gets during the coffee rush time but I would go here with a book to read. Somehow, it gave me a very soothing feel while I was in the shop for a quick 3-min visit. I can definitely relax here. read more

Been here twice and we agreed that this is one of our favorite coffee spots ever! The taste is so good and creamy and their seasonal flavors are super fun. Will always stop by here whenever we are in the area! read more

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. read more

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. read more

Delicious chai tea latte (my go to when trying a new coffee shop) with the right amount of sweet and spice! The staff were friendly and quick. I'd definitely come back when I'm stopping to get a rush bowl next door. read more

This is a simple pop 'in n out' sort of place. I'm sure it's fine if you want to get some work down and the views won't disappoint. I caught the staff as they were opening so I think everyone was will pretty sleepy but I won't hold it against them! ;) I did get a tea that day so I can't comment on the quality of the coffee but the breakfast tea did the trick for me. read more

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. read more

My friend lives in the building, so it was a no brainer to come here for some coffee. Between an americano, mochas, and lattes everything was tasty! It was a cozy vibe. If I had work to do, a book to read, or a friend to catch up with, it'd be an ideal spot! Baristas were patient with our orders. read more

Great service! I love the cinnamon brown sugar chai! They also have a few non-dairy milk options so that's a plus. Definitely try the iced teas as well. read more

what an awesome coffee shop! the best, creamy chai like it was brewed especially for me with a bit of cinnamon and cream. atmosphere felt very cozy like the neighborhood. read more

Metropolis Coffee recently fueled our theatre company's 24-hour play event, during which a group of artists created 6 new short plays from scratch and then performed them for an audience, all within a literal 24-hour period. Coffee was an absolute necessity to fuel this event, and Metropolis Coffee was more than up to the task. It wasn't just caffeine, it was delicious fuel. Thank you, Metropolis Coffee! read more

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 read more

Metropolis Coffee - Latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Denver, Colorado

Metropolis Coffee is a cool cafe located right in the hip SoBo neighborhood next to fun bars and vintage boutiques. Upon entering, I fell in love with the cafe's decor. It's a bright space with lots of plants growing everywhere. I love how they built a lofted space that's more private and cozy... a perfect spot to study or read a good book. The cafe has really cool tree branch wallpaper and a unique Mother Earth mural by the front door. The staff was friendly and prompt to take my order. I got an iced coffee with clove and cinnamon simply syrup while my mom got a brown sugar latte. Both were delicious! Very high quality and not too sweet. The coffee was more expensive, but hey, what ISN'T expensive nowadays!? read more

Nice coffee shop with a patio seating area on Central Street. At around 8am on a Friday, there were other customers at the shop, but there was not a significant line. I opted for a small iced coffee, which came to around $4. The coffee had a smooth and acidic flavor (I actually prefer an acidic flavor). The scones looked really yummy too... excited to try some of their hot drinks as the weather gets colder! read more

I have never purchased anything from here but often use it as a meeting spot for work. Most people I meet purchase things. I felt like I should leave them a review for always being so courteous and kind despite me never purchasing anything. I even drink their water and use their WiFi. I will update this when I purchase a non-caffeinated drink next time. read more

Really small espresso shots and pricey. It's a cute location though right in Highlands. Great view:)

Excellent coffee and even better service. I love coming here to work or even just to swing by for a quick coffee. Everyone working is always so nice and it's also a great spot to get a decent view of downtown while you're sipping coffee on the patio. read more

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!) read more

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

I feel like every business I visited on my short but jam-packed Denver trip was incredible. So get ready for a lot of five star reviews, folks. 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. What caught my attention immediately was the nitro whiskey cold brew on draft. Say whaaaa? I had to have it. Guys. This stuff was legit! So smooth, so unique and tasty. I loved it! Also, the barista with long blonde hair who served our group was so friendly. I'm torn because I really liked the other coffee shop in the neighborhood as well, but they have different vibes and different offerings so clearly there's plenty of room for both. Denver, you are legit AF. read more

My friend Eric knows only 6 things: presidents, skiing, national parks, lncRNAs, beer, and, most relevant to this review, coffee. I asked him for a recommendation for a quiet coffee shop, and Metropolis was at the top of his list. It's a serious coffee shop. No outlets, a few scattered tables, and The Mountain Goats was playing when I walked in. read more

Great coffee! Soy mocha with the perfect amount of chocolate. Lack of enthusiasm as far as customer service goes. Didn't seem to want to be bothered. read more

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.

A coffee shop with decent WiFi, Herkimer coffee (light to medium roasts only) and an emphasis on purity of the beverage is a five star choice in my book! My cortado was a little bit foamy but the taste was top notch; not a hint of bitterness to be found. The music is chill enough to work to and the view is enjoyable for being somewhat industrial in nature. WiFi speeds near 9 mbps download and 4.5 upload. Not impressive, but better than some. I won't hesitate to return when in the area! read more

Metropolis Coffee - Cortado - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Denver, Colorado

I've walked over a mile here twice the last 2 days and both times their card reader has been down. They don't really apologize and just put up a cash only sign. No other options for payment. "Our wifi is now down" absolute joke. Oh and if you call, they won't answer and send you straight to voicemail. Not coming back. read more

These people are serious about their coffee, and it shows. I stopped for a cup to go, and I realized my mistake. This is a place to order a cup of pour-over and sit for a while. It's not a cheap cup of coffee; it's meant to be enjoyed slowly out of a real ceramic cup. My to-go cup was delicious, but I felt like I was doing it a disservice by drinking it while walking my dog. The cafe is simple, the menu is simple, but both are satisfying and enjoyable. read more

Coffee is good here but the baristas are extremely rude. When I walked in I wasn't greeted. Asked the girl taking my order how she was doing and she said fine and proceeded to give me a dirty look. I ordered a iced coffee with oat milk which is not what they set down in the pick up area - they just gave me a black iced coffee so I asked about the oatmilk and the second barista rudely told me I needed to hang on because she was busy steaming an espresso. So the barista handed me the oatmilk to pour in myself without saying anything to me. I love going to other Metropolis locations but these two girls were very rude and made me feel like I wasn't welcome. I couldn't wait to get out of there. read more

This place is an understated little gem a block from the 16th St pedestrian bridge with no-frills indoor/outdoor space. The baristas are friendly. The iced lattes hit the spot. Did I mention the homemade empanadas? They go quickly, but are quite the supplemental treat. read more

SUPER cute coffee shop and delicious coffee. I got a lavender latte with oat milk and it is definitely worth a stop by!

Came in here on Saturday around 4pm. Realizing I entered close to close time considered walking out since I saw much of the store had been cleaned up and the staff was closing down the coffee bar. She was very nice and didn't seemed phased by my order of an americano. They have 3 different sizes available for drinks since first time here the lady showed me the options. She made my drink and showed me where the additional bar options and lids for coffee was. I couldn't check out food options as it was close to close not many options left. I will be back the americano was delicious not bitter not overly hot. read more

Love this place! Great coffee yummy pastries. Super nice staff. Dogs allowed on patio.

I love Metropolis on Broadway and am a regular there. I recently moved to this part of town and was excited to tRy out this location, but honestly have never had a good experience. Every single barista here is so rude. They don't even say Hi when you walk in. Specifically the gal with purplish long hair, tall blonde guy, and the blonde girl with bangs. It's your job to be friendly. I will be making the extra trip to the Broadway location where they actually care about their customers. read more

Not only was the playlist impeccable (we're talkin' Radiohead, acoustic Oasis covers, Jenny Lewis, etc.) but the cold brew hit the spot. It was strong but didn't leave me with the caffeine shakes after. The WiFi was free & fast accommodating some light speed work to get done. Inside is peaceful with open windows with a few tables and a couple larger chairs in back. My favorite kind of music + caffeine + WiFi? You bet I'm a fan, read more
