Would rate it zero stars if could. I went here to study last week and had a terrible experience. Two middle aged men came in while I was sitting by the register. The man who was working there, who mildly resembled Andy Dick, was further in the back when the two men started discussing their sexual exploits. [[HIGHLIGHT]]One man genuinely said the word "gangb@ng" in reference to a "freshly 18 year old girl" in the middle of this cafe.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]I might also add that one of the men, while saying this stuff was staring at me making me extremely uncomfortable.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] By the time the man working there came back to the front of the counter they were discussing Chappell Roans recent dress and how " if they have their tits out we just arnt supposed to look? We arnt supposed to objectify them? That makes no sense." By the time the man behind the counter had come back and upon hearing a clip of the men's conversation he laughed and said something along the lines of "oh I know it's so hard right now" and proceeded to check them out and make similar comments in support of the man's statements. The two men went to the back to smoke and I went up to the man behind the counter. I told him that they had been discussing some really vulgar stuff (I even told him about them using the phrase gangb@ng) before he showed up, how it made me super uncomfortable because they were staring at me and how it seemed like he was down with what they were saying based on his reaction. This man just stared at me blank faced and said "okay sorry about that." So I said that I was thinking of saying something to the men because that is not appropriate to do anywhere and he said "do you want me to talk to them for you?" At this point I said no because it seemed like he was more on their side (weird behavior) and he again just stared at me and said "okay." [[HIGHLIGHT]]I went to the back and proceeded to tell the men that it was rude and disrespectful to say things like that about women and just not okay in public.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I grabbed my stuff and went to my car. Now here is where I did in fact do something I probably shouldn't have but if I hadn't I wouldn't have heard what the man working there said next. I pulled around in my car to the alley way just in time to catch this lovely exchange. The man behind the counter sticking his head out the back door and saying "I'm so sorry that happened to you guys" to the men. (Suddenly he's "soooo" sorry when to my face he barely showed any care whatsoever ever) To which one of the replied "yeah I just didn't think that would happen." I am only slightly ashamed to say that I yelled from my car something about "uh oh! you didn't think your actions had conquences??" Before driving off. TLDR: All this to say the guy who works behind the counter and looks like Andy dick is a harassment and sexism apologist. read more

This place had a very very cool vibe but the vibe was so cool and laid back that we had to figure out where we could make our purchase. There were no signs that stated that you needed to make your purchases at the coffee area. I mean I was waiting at the area right by the entrance and a person working there actually came by to the cashier area in that area BUT did not even acknowledge us at all. Just walked right by us a couple of times and just walked back to the comic area never once asking if we needed anything. Sure, it had a cool vibe but I would not return as even though the vibe was very cool, ignoring your customers is just not cool. I didn't try the coffee shop as it was later in the day so I can't say about that. BUT they did have a great selection of eclectic books and comic books. read more

As a political book shop, I was hoping to find more theoretical literature, but found a lot of comics instead. Nothing wrong with that at all, I just set my expectations for something different. I spent around ten minutes inside and none of the people working there said anything to me. I wasn't waiting on a conversation but greeting new potential customers is pretty standard practice. Of the critical theory I did find, there were some interesting authors and socialist classics. Book prices were a little high. I saw that they have an anti-capitalist meeting on the first Friday of every month and I applaud the effort. I may attend one in the future. read more

Not entirely sure what to make of Mutiny except for the following: a) absolutely brilliant name, b) comics - YAY!, c) coffee - double YAY!! This funky book and cafe spot literally caused me to do a double-take while en route to La Loteria. I came back to check it out and was pleasantly surprised by the eclectic collection of books - new and used, the pair of Elvira pinball machines (what?!), the beverage options in the cafe, and the small live music spot in the back. I can see this spot as a staple in the area. And while there are a few homeless (but friendly) people in the area, do not be dissuaded from spending time browsing MIC. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did. read more

There are a lot of comics, tons of books, vinyl albums, a cafe, pinball machines, a live music area, a coffin shaped shelf, lots of interesting stuff to look at, and a friendly cat lounging.

Mutiny Information Cafe is such a cool spot! My friend and I popped in as we were meandering down Broadway a few weekends back to see what they were all about. ++ They have a wide variety items for sale including books, vinyl, comic books (of the superhero variety mostly from what I saw), pins, and posters. ++ The space is super eclectic and fun! Heck they even have a couple pinball machines! ++ There's even a few cozy couches and tables throughout the store's various nooks and crannies. So you can sit and stay for a while. ++ The staff is awesome, way helpful, and of course friendly. ++ Did I mention there's a little coffee bar? Hence the "cafe" in the name. So go ahead - grab yourself a coffee while your browse their wares. Definitely recommend checking out Mutiny Information Cafe the next time you find yourself on South Broadway. It's such a great little gem. read more

A plated item may follow later, but there is always something to snack on early in the experience. Here, we went almost two full hours without any food at all. The quiches arrived around the two-hour mark, and the three-tiered tray, which is the centerpiece of afternoon tea, did not arrive until about fifteen minutes before our three-hour reservation ended. No one was rushing us out, and we did enjoy being together, but waiting an hour and a half to two hours for any food simply is not reasonable. We were genuinely hungry for the first half of the visit and then suddenly had a large amount of food placed in front of us near the end. Instead of grazing leisurely, we were left trying to eat everything in a short window of time. With a reservation made weeks in advance and only one other small table present, it was surprising that nothing was delivered within the first hour. Even reversing the order and bringing out the tiered tray first would have completely changed the experience. We also received only one three-tiered tray for six people at a price comparable to other Denver tea houses where each guest receives their own. When we asked for boxes to take the remaining items home, we were told they only had paper sleeves. Afternoon tea items are delicate by design, and paper slips are not suitable for transporting layered finger foods without crushing them. Given that the tray was delivered minutes before the reservation ended, proper takeaway containers should have been available. Tea service was steady for much of the visit, but toward the end all three teapots sat empty for about ten to fifteen minutes, and I had to go upstairs to request a refill. This was secondary to the food timing, but it added to the overall sense that pacing and oversight were lacking. I truly wanted this to be a special afternoon, and I appreciate the kindness of the staff and the availability of vegan options. However, afternoon tea should feel thoughtfully paced, with food arriving early enough for guests to graze comfortably. Waiting nearly two hours for any food and then receiving the full tiered tray minutes before the reservation ended does not align with what high tea is meant to be.

I was followed around by three different employees constantly asking me if I needed help and staring me down. Even if I look at the situation differently they don't even allow people the space, freedom or even privacy to choose what they need themselves or the chance to ask for help if they need it. Instead they all hound you down like you're in a clothing department store and make you feel uncomfortable. Especially the guy working there with the gray/white hair was orchestrating all of the employees around. Another reviewer mentioned this and yes there is a strong atmosphere of intolerance, paranoia, judgement and deeper under lining issues. I was standing in line behind a gentleman and when it was my turn at the counter, the guy with the gray/white hair told the lady working the counter to leave the counter and told another lady to come check me out which was odd and he had a very nasty look on his face. Then the lady at the counter asked me if I had a membership and I said no, She then says "ok don't worry we are not pushy" and then proceeds to laugh and say "at least I don't think so". They know exactly what they are doing. If a spiritual store is worried about people stealing or whatever then they you are NOT the real deal and it is a reflection of who they are and what they are actually doing. If you are alarmed or uncomfortable by a women of color coming into your shop while your shop is named Goddess/Isis you should NOT be in business! This place is not sacred or safe. Buy your stuff online or go to a place with integrity, a place that has respect and honors spirituality and people, all people. Avoid this place and do not support this business.

My brother was nice enough to let me grab a couple of pictures of his food before he started eating, which was greatly appreciated. My shiitake buns were delicious, and I wanted more when I finished the two I ordered. It was a nice, low-spice taste with a wonderfully soft bun that held everything together well. Definitely would have ordered more if not for the big bowl of ramen that came shortly after. Vegetable Ramen can be a tough dish to make tasty, as ramen typically uses animal broths to hold the flavor, but Nami did an excellent job. All the toppings they used fit perfectly, especially the fried tofu, which is my favorite go-to for any ramen restaurant. If you are in the area and want a filling meal, go check out Nami Ramen!

"If you stand for nothing you fall for anything". Mutiny is an indie locally owned book store and a record store. It's a great one at that. The staff are knowledgeable, more than friendly but honest. They don't give bullshit, and they take a lot of it. That all comes from the owners. Denverites that have given heart and soul to this city and they believe in respect, knowledge, creativity and above all community. Mutiny is also a coffee house. Yes, It works like a regular coffee shop. One can go in and work on their laptop or read a book. Business meetings occur. It's a place where first dates are followed through. Mutiny is a music venue, an all ages one at that. It's also a site for town halls and committee meetings. Again, community. All races, genders, sexual orientation, ages, those with physical disabilities and every subculture that exists are more than welcome at Mutiny. Mutiny is a labor of love. And damn do they love, and their very own existence fights against fascists, racists, bigots, misogynists, ableists, homophobes, transphobes and good ole fashioned passionless souls. Mutiny is under attack because of their passion and their love of community. I dont hang out there enough. I dont spend money there enough and thats a crying shame. Support Mutiny if you stand against hatred and disrespect everywhere. And if you believe that what they stand for and the way they handle their business is wrong, you are on the wrong side or just a soulless bastard. And yes, Mutiny proves their egalitarian proclivities not just by everything I mentioned above. But they prove it in the most important ways to us outcasts, freaks and geeks. They support muggles and wizards. They believe in Star Wars and Star Trek Unity. Fantasy, Scifi and Steampunk Unity. They believe that all forms of music is worth something..to sell at least and shudder to think they are Marvel and DC and every Indie company and zine. Dont let the bastards get you down Mutiny. You give Broadway soul. Thank You for everything. The negative reviews are all fake. read more

I don't even know where to begin on how much I love this place--everything about this cafe is incredible and makes it one of the best I've been to. Let's start with the interior. The inside has really cool, artsy vibes. They sell old vinyls (with a record player for you to listen before you buy), books, and t-shirts. They also have old pinball machines and arcade games to play which is a fun touch. Food: they sell some throwback candies and snacks. My favorite part though is that you can get bowls of cereal, but more throwback brands (anybody remember French Toast Crunch?). Drinks: Hands down the best coffee I've ever had. I order the cold brew with cream and mocha. They even make their ice cubes with coffee so your iced coffee doesn't get watered down as they melt. They have tons of teas to choose from too. read more

Best place in Denver, possibly Earth. I can't imagine my life story without the years spent in mutiny, a home for free thinkers and raw, authentic and sincere humans. Anyone who didn't jive probably didn't deserve to jive. Aside from being a place in my heart, they have incredible and rare books, wonderful coffee, Denver's best artists on display... and so on. There are too many positiv things to say about mutiny and they're owners/ staff. Check them out. 10/10 would recommend. read more
