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.

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.

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.

Great environment - spaces for individual studying, meeting with friends, etc. Coffee menu is perfect - not overwhelming at all. Baristas were friendly and helpful.

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.

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.

Vanilla Italian coffee

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!

Latter with Brown Cinnamon Sugar syrup and oatmilk was great. Nice place for a date or to set up and work. Good energy with delicious coffee.

Iced and hot mocha
Patricia H.

The best mocha in town, both iced and hot are amazing. Sometimes they make it too sweet but 8/10 its my favorite.

Iced coffee
Svitlana S.

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

Probably my favorite place to grab an Americano in town. It's a decent spot to hang out and people watch as well.

Unfriendly staff, and the cold brew coffee tasted like it steeped for 96 hours. I took two sips and couldn't force myself to finish it.

Pretty decent amount of seating and very comfortable despite how small the place is. Music is good, swings between lo-fi chill and more upbeat pop. But most importantly the music is not too loud, so it's perfect for either working or hanging out. Every person behind the counter was very friendly and helpful. Ordered a lavender latte and orange blossom matcha - both delicious, highly recommend.

Came here to use my coffee pass again yesterday with a friend. We met around 11:30 and she was very…read moredisappointed that they were out of essentially any sandwich or substantial food item they had already. She had to settle for a small, pre-made pastry thing and I got one of those oatmeal cup things where they just add hot water. I don't know if it's common to run out (or to only make food first thing until it runs out and nothing from then until close time at 4?) We chose to sit outside and they have a few tables but no umbrellas. There were two adirondack chairs and a stone bench further from the door that were partially under a tree so we sat there but otherwise those tables were in direct sunlight. Definitely definitely need to invest in some umbrellas or those overhead curtain things. I'd say nothing stood out here - typical coffee shop and assortment but on my friend's behalf, wish they kept the food in better stock throughout the morning and afternoon.

Exceptional food, and they offer classes!…read more Took the pasta class with friends, and it is fabulous! Easy to follow instruction, fun instructor, excellent food. Highly recommend.

Good pizza making class for total beginners. Less so if you own a different pizza oven than theirs…read more Took the "Backyard Pizza Affair: Cooking at 900 Degrees" class. Honestly it was just okay for us. I'd say it's worth it if you're a complete beginner at pizza making, but here's the catch: in the class they use the mini Gozney ovens, and we have the full-size Gozney Dome. Practicing on a different oven than the one we'd actually be using at home was a bit off-putting, since so much of pizza making is dialing in your specific setup. That said, I still learned plenty that carried over! It's a 4-hour hands-on class, and you get to mix the dough, practice stretching, and launch your own pizza. The instructor, Gage, really knows his stuff and he was great at explaining the why behind each step, not just the how. I walked away with genuinely useful skills like freezing the dough and shaping technique. It's about $148 a person. The nice touches help. You get a pastry before and a cookie at lunch, plus a detailed recipe packet (dough variations, freezing, mixer methods, the works). And Rebel Bread is a working bakery, so it's a fun space to be in. My other note: the class runs long, and I wish it had been a bit shorter and tighter. For someone who's never made pizza before, I think it'd be worth it. For us, already set up with our own oven, it was a nice experience but not essential.

It was packed for a weekday morning. The barista was helpful - I ordered an iced americano and had oatmeal steamed with almond milk. It was exactly what I was looking for. My friend and I enjoyed our time at this cafe.

The inside is what you look for in an upscale coffee shop, clean, great lines, artwork, and quality coffee. I always order the nitro cold brew here and it never disappoints. It will definitely charge me up for the day or evening. Their cold brews are crafted using Kaladi Full City coffee and it has a bolder, yet similar smoothness to say a Starbucks Cold Brew. They also have a wide variety of kombuchas on tap as well! I've heard some good things about their Venetian Crème Cold Brew if you like a sweet flavor with your charge. The interior includes high ceilings and garage doors that open to allow for a breezy experience when the weather is right. The music is usually good and is constantly changing, which leads me to believe that the baristas may play their own mix sometimes. I almost exclusively drink cold brew but I have had their coffee too and it is awesome. I also order their almond poppyseed bread (APB) quite often; however, today they were out so I tried the pumpkin spice bread instead. It was good but not mind blowing like the aforementioned APB! I'm the only one that calls it that so don't try to order the APB! :D Feel free to spread the word via an APB though. :) With so many options in my neighborhood that are within walking distance I choose Nixon's quite often and enjoy supporting this quality independent shop.
