    Quaint coffee shop with fresh ground espresso. For a $5 affogato, say no more. They accidentally made me a regular espresso instead of decaf but caught it quickly and corrected.

    The perfect coffee shop does exist - and it has breakfast! Friendly and quick service in one of the most thoughtful and beautiful spaces. Coffee and food are consistent and outstanding.

    Pomegranate matcha lemonade and macchiato

    Hip little coffee shop. Hung out with my kids and got my caffeine fix. Everything was decent. Cornbread waffle had a slight raw flour/dough taste. But the spicy jam was awesome. Veggie burrito is pretty much cheese and potatoes, didn't taste actual veggies. Coffee was good and matcha lemonade was not obviously artificial tasting but could use sweetener, but I felt healthier drinking it. My biggest annoyance is the tip request. I agree that there is a service. Tuổi order at a counter... they bring it to you, most people return their cups and plates to the bus bucket themselves. You also get your own water. So the tip request was 18, 20, 22%... that is what I give when I'm at a fine dine restaurant when I'm truly being served for hours. Not a coffee shop. Tip culture in America is ridiculous these days. Chick Fil-A has way better service and friendlier and doesn't ask for tip.

    Hot chocolate!

    Middle State is another great coffee shop to add to the mix! This is a fantastic place to spend a Saturday afternoon. The place gets busy, but there's a lot of seating. I enjoyed my espresso and my son loved his hot chocolate. Highly recommended!

    Regular mocha with rosemary vanilla syrup

    Such a great spot on Santa Fe. Service was awesome. The iced mocha with rosemary vanilla and oat milk was delicious. And I would stop here anytime just for the lemon cronut. So good.

    This is hands down the best coffee shop in Denver. After 100+ visits I've never been let down. Care is taken with every. Single. Cup. I'll drive out of my way any day to come here.

    Absolute favorite coffeeshop in all of Denver! Their seasonal flavors are very unique and their coffee is quite flavorful. The inside is adorned with a variety of plants and makes a great space for studying. The staff is great too!

    I have half written reviews waiting to be posted ,but I had to write a review for this place immediately. I honestly know nothing about coffee ,but I can only judge the drinks by what I enjoy. This place has high reviews on Google and yelp and usually when that happens (rarely),it means you gotta try it. As soon as you step in, it's industrial and quaint. It's not just one big open space. There's a high top counter and then 2 sections of normal tables to sit at too. There's a straight forward menu(that's how you know they're serious about coffee). I got a decaf latte and my husband got a vanilla espresso shake?? Yes, a shake. The barista making the drinks was calculative and precise. We both decided to try the shake first and o,my heavenly coffee. It was creamy and silky smooth. It was the perfect amount of cold and the coffee flavor wasn't burnt or bitter. I have never had such a smooth shake before. Get it. The decaf latte was also highly satisfying with the right amount of sweet and ice. If we lived closer we'd be coffee poor. I'll definitely be recommending this spot to people.

    Accessible walkway to seating.

    First time here and it was really nice. We ordered one of the seasonal drinks - pumpkin latte with whole milk and a pour over coffee (Colombia). The pumpkin spice latte wasn't overly sweetened. The pour over was delicious. The barista was super kind. I would definitely come back here.

    Perfection. On every level. The ambiance, music, decor, coffee, sweet treats, staff that know how to make a cappuccino. It's a hell yeah for me. 10/10.

    Even though it's 18 degrees in Denver today, I was craving iced coffee. I loved the Espresso Tonic I got from @middlestatecoffee

    I'm a big fan of middle state coffee...served at other cafes...I have never been to their roastery store. I loved the layout of this coffeeshop, including the water top I have added a picture of (not only is it a cool set up, but having water available at coffeeshops is essential in my opinion.) Tough to rate a place after just one visit, but here's the breakdown of my rating: -staff was great -again, loved the store itself -masks enforced -cold brew was great...nice and strong! -my cortado just left a little something to be desired: I got a single origin, and it seemed unextracted. It was fine, just didn't get much sweetness, any of the flavors in the description, or much nuance at all. I have pretty good confidence that everything is outstanding there, and there is enough "extra credit" in the cold brew to make up for the cortado coming in at a B-. Worth noting that SOME of the drinks are very expensive, including drip coffee.

    Beautiful plant backdrop amidst an industrial ambiance!

    The drinks and food were good. A nice spot for a date. Nice plants and artwork around. The bathroom had nice artwork too and good soap.

    Met a coworker here for an afternoon cuppa tea. First, wow - what a cool space! We loved the…read moreseating options, the bar in the back and all the cozy warm vibes. This space was such a cool find, particularly on West Colfax. Way to elevate the neighborhood! The gentleman taking our order was fabulous and helped me to choose dark roast beans for my love and his stocking. Next up, as it was late afternoon, that means no caffeine for me, so he also suggested a lovely seasonal drink with Warsaw in the name. It was lovely and warmed me up. It's my hope that this seasonal drink moves over to the regular offerings! We also shared a slice of their GF zuchinni bread - delish and so moist. I've already got my eye on returning for a yummy eggnog latte and some breakfast!

    Brew Culture Coffee offers their own brew called BC Blend, which is delicious (took home a bag of…read morefresh roasted beans). The atmosphere is welcoming and cozy inside, where seating is plentiful. There is also some outside seating in the morning sun. Troy is the owner and roaster of Brew Culture for 7 years. There were plenty of staff to handle the increasing number of patrons as they came into the café. There were pastries, bars, burritos, cookies, and oatmeal. This is a well-loved neighborhood spot, but it is feeling some pain due to the construction on Colfax. Today we were lucky enough to be there when a guitarist was playing beautiful music, which we enjoyed while drinking our coffee. We were told he comes about once a month. We loved our visit!
