This cozy coffee shop at the southwest corner of Broadway and Ellsworth Ave in the Baker neighborhood has been here over 10 years. I have walked by here many times but had never visited them. I was served by Jae. I learned they are 1 of 4 locations in Denver. The other locations are in the Golden Triangle, Five Points, and LoHi. They offer the usual hot & cold coffee drinks + teas. They have a selection of pastries. They sell Herkimer coffee beans and can grind them for you. Their drip coffee today is from Bolivia. They have 2hr parking nearby (see promocode) or street parking with meters. Same rate of $2 for 2hrs. There is a seating area in front & back + upstairs. I had a large hot Latte with Maple Cardamom syrup & a Morning Bun. Nice flavor for the latte and lots of sugar on the pastry. They accept cards & cash. I asked if they round up or down due to the oncoming shortage of pennies. Jae said they have plenty of pennies for change since most people pay with cards. Note: no printer, so receipts are by email only. read more

Came here to grab an iced latte since we were in the area. I ordered a vanilla iced latte and it was okay. It wasn't my favorite. I am not sure if it was the type of coffee they used or what but it was just okay. read more

The simplicity of this little coffee shop is quaint. Their drink menu is simple and they have a small selection of baked goods. There are tables for enjoying your beverage and working and the plant esthetic and background music is calming. I got an almond milk chai and enjoyed it. The baristas were friendly and the drink came out quickly. I got a small hot chai with almond milk which was delicious. I will be back to try the coffee! read more

Cool coffee spot. The place has a lot of charm. They do offer cold brew growlers, but since I'm on travel I didn't have a growler to use. The service was friendly and good. read more

Stopped in after some thrifting and it was the perfect spot to relax. The service was fine, but too bubbly, but matter of fact. The space is airy and has several areas to sit, but it is a bit snug. There is an upstairs space as well and you can buy art around the shop. The plants all around make it feel cozy. Overall, a chill spot off of Broadway. I enjoyed a chai and it was light and the right amount. Would consider visiting again when I'm in the area. Since it's off of Broadway, parking is limited. read more

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

I came to this Metropolis Coffee because it was written up as a place that is good for getting work done. I was having trouble getting on the WiFi on my cell phone, and the barista said "well all of our devices are working", then I tried to get on WiFi on my laptop, and it said "not connected to the internet." When I went to inform the Barista, she got offended/ upset, asking why I was mad at her (I wasn't mad at her, just frustrated that I drove cross town specifically to work at this coffee shop, and it's possible that the guest Wifi isn't functioning and thus I can't work here.) She went and restarted the WiFi. However, the Metropolis Guest Wifi still isn't functional, and the barista is visibly irritated with me. I was able to get on a local Wifi from another business, so I'll work here this afternoon, but beware if you are coming to Metropolis to work... The coffee is solid thought. And I like the atmosphere. read more

We've always enjoyed the coffee at Metropolis, but the girl with dark hair and glasses should be a little more welcoming and friendly to regulars who are buying coffee and local artists' work. We feel a bit off put every time we interact with her. After taking a look at other reviews, this unfortunately seems like an experience shared by other customers. That being said we will be going elsewhere in the future, even though this coffee shop is closest to our house :( read more

Great coffee shop for getting work done. There are lots of tables with nearby outlets on the main floor and also a secluded upstairs area! Fast, free WiFi. Free parking within a block. Now for the coffee, I love finding places that have homemade syrups and Metropolis has multiple options for homemade syrups. I tried their brown sugar cinnamon latte and loved it!!! I love when the baristas are willing to give recommendations and they led me in the right direction. Located on broadway, I highly recommend this coffee shop for wfh. read more

Cool place with a cool vibe, decent coffee and great service. Will definitely be back.

Worst service tonight from the chick with glasses and tattoos. Zero customer service skills and straight up rude. I usually give people the benefit of the doubt, but she clearly hates it here or hates dealing with people. Either way, do better. Your attitude stinks. read more

Cute little coffee shop! I came here with my friend to study and there is a decent amount of seating. The upstairs area is quiet for doing work. I had a delicious GF banana chocolate chip protein snake and my latte wasn't too sweet. read more

Great service, great music, great ambiance overall! Right when you walk in you get a hippy/natural vibe inside & everyone is just chilling on their laptops doing their thang while enjoying some bomb coffee & music. Got the Cortado & vanilla Italian soda & was NOT disappointed at all! Also got a side of banana bread, all together was about $12 bucks, so definitely cheaper than going to the overpriced & overrated Starbucks. Will be coming back! read more

Metropolis Coffee - Iced and hot mocha - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Denver, Colorado

I love the plants and cute cozy interior! There's a sort of grungy vibe to this which reminds me of Seattle. Similar to dive bars in Seattle this place isn't the absolute cleanest but it did not bother me. Service was super chill. Been here twice and the drinks are consistently standard/good. Plenty of street parking in the nearby neighborhoods. When I'm in town I like to do work here since the wifi is quite good and it never gets too crowded. The large glass windows looking out into the main street, makes this place an excellent spot for people-watching. Lots of interesting people/places/things nearby. Btw, minor detail: If you get a pastry they cannot heat it up as there is no microwave. read more

got a small iced latte whole milk and it was strong and creamy :) more importantly left my phone in the bathroom and it was still there when i came back read more

Today was in Baked,and found this place. Coffee was good,but very overpriced,5.15 with tax is too much for 8oz iced coffee. But was not bad. Service is terrible,asked iced coffee no milk. Worker give me with regular milk,I didn't drink milk at all because after filling very bad. Not professionally. Parking found is pretty hard. For coffee 4stars,for service 3 stars. Never come back read more

first and last time here. baristas were bored and annoyed, not friendly or welcoming at all. we had a group of 4 adults ordering and the entire time we felt like we were intruding (at 10:00am). coffees were fine, not great. temp was cold on the hot drinks. prices here are weird, just round it up!!! no one wants to pay $5.18 for anything. read more

Very delicious cold brew and lots of natural lighting! Unfortunately the staff wasn't super nice, but will return to see if it was just an off day. read more

Love this little coffee shop, during a staycation at a hotel near by, my friend and I decided to try it because it was so close! I've had the Chai Tea Latte a few times now and I really like it. The people are so nice and the prices of everything are super reasonable. The people are also so nice and the service is great! If I'm in the neighborhood again, I'll definitely make a try to visit them. read more

I am a tea person. Metropolis is a sweet, quick, charming corner coffee shop on South Broadway close to my house and on my drive to work. Bonus- the baristas are so kind, Emma always takes great care of us. They have a cute little loft with obscure books, my favorite is a Book of Lists from 1985 or something like that. I always enjoy the rotating local art they have hanging on the walls. The baristas make a great London Fog with loose leaf tea. Sometimes I will try their Seasonal Syrup instead of the vanilla syrup. I appreciate that they have hot empanadas from Maria Empanada (but I'm a hater of coffee shops selling frozen burritos for $6) and their bear claw doughnuts make a nice snack during a movie at the Mayan up the street. I love their mural on the side of little bean people. The rest of the block is so good for wandering too! read more

Tasty real deal espresso-based coffee. Lovely barista who plays great music. Next time I'm in Denver I'm hitting this spot again.

A really cool coffee place. Medium sized with a lot of room compared to a lot of other coffee places I've seen in this area. The coffee (mocha) I got was really good. Parking in this area isn't the best, and you'll have to pay the meter to go here. read more

Super chill vibes and pleasant interior with plants and unique local art. Cool wrap-around window seating. Coffee is very good!

Really dig this coffee shop! There are quite a few places to grab a cup of coffee within less than a mile of Metropolis (Mutiny, Bardo, Rosebud, Moxie, Sugar Bakeshop, Copper Door, White Whale Room, Europa). I've tried almost all of them and still choose Metropolis nine times out of ten. In addition to the coffee, I love the look of this place. From the cool sign out front to the cool wood/wallpaper situation inside, an aesthetically pleasing shop always gets me. I've actually never worked here, so I'm not sure how their wifi situation is. I've taken meetings, had a yummy breakfast of coffee + a popster, and taken coffees to go. I do see people working here, especially in the little balcony area that overlooks the shop. The baristas here aren't overly friendly and have occasionally forgotten some details of my order, but it's never been much of an issue. Parking can be tricky--I'd avoid Broadway on busy times like nights and weekends and look in the Baker neighborhood. read more

Hands down my favorite coffee shop to work at in Denver. You can really plug away here and get things done. There are a few key reasons: 1. Friendly cool staff but you in a good mood. 2. Soft music so you can still hold a conversation, work, or hear your own music in your headphones. 3. Great coffee. 4. Reasonably priced. 5. Keep the temperature right which can be huge if you're in a place for 3 or 4 hours. 6. Location is awesome and has many places you can grab a quick lunch. 7. The balcony has a library feel to it so you can really get things done without being distracted by traffic. Love this place! read more

I've been meaning to come in for a while and I'm glad I did! The space is homey feeling without all of the useless knick knacks that other coffee shops scatter to get that "worn in" look. I liked the use of old school chairs and the succulents adorning the windowsill were a nice touch. I got a small Tiger Spice Chai (they also have Oregon) and it was wonderfully made. The only reason they were bumped down a star was the barista wasn't the most friendly fella around and I thought their menu could have been a little more exhaustive. I overheard a woman who came in and ordered a latte with a seasonal syrup they weren't even advertising. Perhaps add some signage for rotating products. read more

Love the coffee here. It reminds me of coffee shops I'd frequent in my 20s in LA. Very hip, but not so hip that I'm intimidated to enter. They host a writing workshop in the back, and that's cool. I stick to the simple things like a cortado or cappuccino. It's a common stop after we drop the dogs off at daycare nearby. When they've got the fancy slow-drip cold brew coffee contraption going, don't pass up a cup of that stuff. It's really good! read more

Okay ...so I have to say that I visit a lot of coffee shops in Colorado...I love an amazing latte...I'm pretty picky about the taste (as everyone should be) ..so I decide to visit metropolis ..I think it's pretty new..I don't party anymore so I don't live on Broadway and don't know when all these new shops have opened ...regardless the first time I went ...the people that worked there were not very friendly ...which bums me out ...I ordered an almond latte ....it was good I decide a few weeks later to go ahead and try again ...the people were different and way nicer ...I order a cafe latte ...it was really yummy ...the moral of this story which I say over and over ...be nice to your customers and you will get good tips and repeat service....duh I'll come back ...I do warn - it's pricey ! read more

If you want bad coffee, don't come here. If your taste buds are dead, don't come here. If you want a grande skim iced mocha frappacino, don't come here. Seriously, you people aren't drinking coffee. Okay, now that that's out of the way - if you're looking for one of the best cups of coffee that will rival any shop in Denver, then you found the spot my friends. Metropolis is sure to make a name for itself with it's ancient toddy cold brew system. It's worth just coming in and looking at the contraption! The beards on the barista are just as iconic as the shop. Try and stump them with your coffee questions and I promise you'll walk away with your tail between your legs. Love your cold brew metropolis. You stole my 5 stars. read more
