This is another one of those hidden gems. Nestled in the corner of a strip mall and dwarfed by the Monster Mini Golf next door, it's easy not to notice this perfect spot for chillin'. In the morning they serve European-style coffee (read especially flavorful) and breakfast-type foods. Much like Starbucks, but nothing like it, they serve craft coffees and things to enjoy with it. On Sundays, the chef takes it up a notch and does a brunch. On one of my visits, I got adventurous with my selection. I'm not a big strong coffee drinker but I had to try one of their Cortados. It was smoooooth and left a wonderful memory on my tongue. Once the morning is over this place takes a siesta until 4pm when they open again as a place to enjoy stronger drinks from a fully stocked bar. They also have craft beers and wine on tap. To complement the ambiance they feature talented local musicians, usually on the weekends. Even then, they have the music early enough that you can bring your parents to enjoy the acoustic or electric music together and they can still be in bed by 10pm. This place is all about family and welcoming people in. You can feel it from the moment you enter.

Wonderful service and delicious coffee perfect spot to relax and have a brew! Even got to try a seasonal latte on the house

The cool bar with 1 cold brew coffee tap, 10 beer taps and 6 wines!!!

Modern Brew has been a staple of our neighborhood! They opened at the worst of times- right before the pandemic - and have fought their way to become the best local bar!! They have the best coffee, drink menu and an amazing seasonal food menu! Not to mention live music and art classes/ farmers market vendors at times. Worth your while to visit over and over again!

Large latte, not full.

I've been looking for a good local coffee shop near my home for awhile, and haven't been so lucky. However Modern Brew was overall pretty good! I will say however, and the reason for one less star is that I took one sip from my coffee, noticed it felt light for a large and opened the lid to see it was about 75% full. I'll definitely be giving them more chances because the place was nice and the staff were fantastic, just a little disappointed that pour was so light.

What a fun new find! I've been hoping for a coffee shop like this near my house for 5 years! Great lattes, super nice staff, serves food! Big comfy tables. Check it out! P.s. if you stay long enough they turn from coffee into beer!

We were immediately sat on the patio around 5:45 PM. We were greeted and given "welcome bubbles". What a nice touch. After about 5 minutes, we were finally given menus. Other people were sat around us, so we waited to ask for the happy hour menu. We ordered the chef's choice charcuterie, a cocktail, and a glass of wine. The drinks and board were yum, but not quite a wine bar as there were very limited option by the glass. Also, we had to ask for plates and silverware where this is a basic item. While deciding on dinner, we were approached a couple times by the 2 servers in the section. One was friendly, the other, not so much, rather indifferent and made us feel a little uncomfortable and not very welcome. This kind of set the tone for the rest of our night. We ordered the "family share" chateaubriand. We realize this is an expensive cut, but the portion is definitely not a sharing cut, around 4 oz. It is closer to a single entree. When it arrived, the plate was cold, like the meat was lukewarm and the cauliflower was ice cold. Again, we had to ask for silverware and plates for this "family style shareable" plate. We brought the cauliflower temperature up with the server and got new cauliflower after we were done with the rest of the meal. Also, I sat with an empty wine glass and no one stopped to ask if I needed another glass. When the servers did stop by, it was a short interaction and we never even had a chance to ask before they were already walking away. We saw so many people come in and out that they must be doing something right, but for us, our experience was mediocre. If our meal would have been the correct temperature (it was well prepared, just cold) and better execution on the service, we may have had a better experience.

Despite the current ratings of less than 4 stars, I somehow was determined that this place would not disappoint. And my hunch was right; it didn't. We did make a reservation ahead of time. Upon arriving, we were asked if we wanted to sit inside or outside to which we said inside (for a mid-October evening, the temperature outside was decent and yet we weren't sure about sitting outside the whole time. We made the right call. Occasionally the cool breeze came in from the side door at the bar (as it was left open; they said once closed it locks so it would inconvenience the people out in the open deck area to leisurely come in) and it felt a bit cold to our liking.) Inside was lively. The beautiful modern-looking lounge was filled with all kinds of chitchat by other guests. Our conversation was sometimes canceled by it where we had to talk into our ears but we certainly didn't mind it. Yes, the ambiance is what you come here for. He got the Juicy Bits IPA and I got the French red blend (Grenache and Cote du Rhone). We browsed the food section in the menu. Some looked interesting but we ended up not ordering anything as even though we ate lightly at the first restaurant we were still quite full from it. Our waiter (young male, I believe his name was Payton) was busting his bottom. When he was at our table taking our order he said he was pretty much the only one who was assisting with the guests in the main indoor area. He occasionally got help from his colleague. It appeared to be an understaffed night. We completely understood. Payton, you were pleasant to us; thank you. We truly enjoyed our drinks. FYI - Juicy Bits IPA is not on tap so even though they poured it into a glass the server couldn't pour everything into it so he brought the can as well (btw, it's a 16oz can.) As much as I enjoyed my bold red wine his IPA stole the spotlight at our table. He is a beer guy and he couldn't help but taking a photo of the can for future purposes/purchase. Juicy Bits is a local craft beer made in Greeley. Quite refreshing beer indeed. Well, we sat in our comfy couch for an extended period of time from 6:30 to 9pm. We both stepped outside to the open deck area for a quick view earlier in our dining experience. And we must say that this is one of the best rooftop restaurants we've been to in the Denver area. We shall be back.

Quick Yelp search led me to Peaky Peak. If you don't know where it is it's right next to Cranelli's Italian! Space is very open and airy, with a comfortable patio to boot. I opted to sit inside. They kept it cool on an unusually warm day. It's not often you find charcuterie and coffee in the same sentence, and well what a good idea for a cafe! They have a bar in addition to a full coffee program, so you can really visit at any hour of the day. I ordered an iced Americano and boy it was strong. Gave me the caffeine jolt I needed. I also ordered a ham and cheese croissant that was very good. I feel like I didn't order any signature items that they are known for, so that's why I'm reserving a star for now. Staff was pretty friendly and the presumed owner was chatting it up with many regulars who walked in. If I lived closer this would be in the rotation more frequently. A great meeting space with comfortable seating!

During my June, 2024 vacation to Colorado, my friend, Felixx, invited Alyssa and me to meet up with…read morehim for after dinner drinks at the Lazy Greyhound on Saturday, the 22nd. Wow, I didn't expect to be blown away by a bar! The Lazy Greyhound is not your typical watering hole - the establishment is a chic speakeasy-style cocktail lounge inspired by the classic British gentlemen's clubs of the 18th and 19th centuries. Nestled within downtown Littleton on Main Street, the location is a hidden gem amidst numerous breweries. After easily finding free street parking nearby, we arrived shortly before 8:30 PM. Entry was like stepping into a different world through an unassuming exterior - inside, the dimly lit room's timeless elegance with Chesterfield leather sofas was softly illuminated by the three stained glass pieces above the bar, one of which depicts the venue's namesake. The tasteful décor adds a touch of class and sophistication to the intimate ambiance and handsome atmosphere. After we were granted to enter past the red velvet rope at the front door, we grabbed a seat at one of the Chesterfields. The comfortable lounge seating made for a cozy spot for relaxed socializing and the music volume was perfectly pleasant for personal conversations. The setting was casual, but refined, with vintage touches. My kind of place, for sure. To complement the stylish environment, The Lazy Greyhound offers an extensive menu featuring a unique blend of timeless classic cocktails, "OLD DOGS/TRIED & TRUE CLASSICS," and creatively crafted modern drinks, "NEW TRICKS/SEASONAL CREATIONS," as well as beer, wine and "SMALL BITES/SHAREABLE SNACKS." Remarkable service also adds to the delightful experience. Our server, Zach/Zack/Zac (sp?), was warm, friendly and genuinely engaging - he took the time to guide us through the impressive menu and was eager to offer beverage suggestions based on our preferences. I was looking for something with an egg white foamy topping, so he suggested the AMARETTO SOUR, IMPROVED ($15) which was velvety and the signature almond sweetness was not overpowering. Alyssa went with the ALWAYS ON CALL ($15), a deliciously creamy coffee-forward mixed drink. We also ordered the PINK SQUIRREL which Zach/Zack/Zac comped for us due to the long wait. The retro, indulgent mixed drink tickled us pink with its hue and creamy, sweet and nutty flavour. Serving the PINK SQUIRREL on the house to us reflected The Lazy Greyhound's commitment to customer care and satisfaction. Felixx ordered the yummy MEAT & CHEESE BOARD which was served with thoughtful presentation. True story: I super suck with electronics and am practically blind without my eyeglasses, so I accidentally undertipped Zach/Zack/Zac while using the handheld payment system. When I saw the receipt back at Alyssa's house, I was horrified to see that I hadn't tipped him what he deserved. I returned to The Lazy Greyhound on the 24th just before 11 PM. Even though they were closed and the doors were locked, I knocked until someone answered so I could personally give cash to Zach/Zack/Zac to make up for my mistake. He was very gracious and thankful. The Lazy Greyhound immediately earned its spot as a favourite bar of mine through their intimate, speakeasy-style atmosphere combined with their innovative concoctions and welcoming service. They stand out as a premier destination for a high-quality, relaxing and memorable evening.
