Great staff. Great coffee and pastries. Long lines due to Morgan Wallen concert, Fan Expo, and some other convention. There were only two employees tackling the never-ending line. Drinks were still cranked out quickly. They made sure to let folks know when items ran out. A couple of house made syrups ran out during our visit but not before we got our orders. A couple of food items were sold out as well. Guests were patient. We're just visiting but glad to have found this spot. read more

Two baristas handled the influx and steady stream of customers with a truly impressive nonchalance. The orders kept coming out regularly, no missteps, no "oops" -- nothing but a smooth surreal flow. Now, onto the coffee. . . Yow! ... smooth with no bitter after taste ... not sure if is attributable to the roasting process of the beans or the brewing of the coffee itself. Either way, it was equally impressive. Sometimes the steps between roasting and brewing can mess up the result. Not here. This was a winning spot and on my list for a future visit. read more

Ordered: Tokyo Fog (~$8): iced lavender early grey tea with matcha cold foam Aya's take: Novo Coffee is a Colorado-based coffee shop and I fully intended to try the espresso here until I saw the Tokyo Fog. The lavender earl grey and matcha cold foam caught my eye and I'm glad it did. It was super pleasant, refreshing, and creamy. It's not as strong of an effect as espresso would be but still very enjoyable. Solid try! read more

I am not a coffee expert but I can tell if a coffee sucks and that's NOT the case here. This is a nice little coffee shop with some outdoor space and big windows. There are pastries and the service was really nice. Great alternative for bigger chain coffee shops. Not a ton of outlets though and that's the main reason for 4 instead of 5 stars. read more

Novo Coffee - Inside - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Denver, Colorado

I normally don't complain, but I just visited the Glenarm location. I ordered a ham and cheese croissant. I waited and had to remind them I ordered it. They gave me the croissant without asking if I wanted it warmed up. Not sure why they forgot about my order. The big problem I saw was that the male employee was making a coffee drink. He looked at a coffee mug, stuck his finger inside to remove something stuck. Then proceeded to make coffee in same mug. Not very sanitary. read more

Good spot with good quality coffee. I appreciated that there was both indoor and outdoor seating and that they had milk alternatives. read more

Novo coffee is an old-time Colorado coffee shop that has been around for quite a while with 3 locations now. I visited the location off of Glenarm and in between 16th and 17th. It is a smaller location which makes sense given the location being in central downtown but they have a decent amount of seating and they are quick. I almost always order a matcha latte when I visit coffee shops so did the exact same thing when visiting here. They do source their own matcha and it is good but I wish they used a bit more of it in their matcha latte. I tasted predominantly just milk as opposed to the nice, bitter matcha flavor. They did do a good job of getting my sweetness level right. I asked for light ice but got quite a bit of ice. No big deal. The internet speed here is fast enough for most peoples' workflows. If you are looking for really fast speeds for large meetings, heavy computation work, working with large files, etc. the speed may not be adequate. Attached to this review is a speed test I performed when they were relaxed and not busy. read more

Came here with my husband to get some warming drinks in the colder weather as it was right near our hotel, and it was alright. This location is cozy indoors with a communal table in the center and folks working on laptops. Decor is what you'd typically expect of a coffee shop, and the place seems pretty tidy. Workers were also friendly. They were out of their one vegan pastry item, so I just got the Pear-adise Hot Cider, and it was a bit on the sour side for what I was expecting. The barista used a torch to blacken a little cube of I think it was pineapple on a toothpick, and I am not sure the effort of doing that was worth it for the drink, LOL, because it didn't impart anything flavor-wise other than a slight burnt smell from the toothpick. Husband got an iced coffee (he is more cold-resistant than I am), and he thought that was good. Overall, a good coffee shop, and I appreciate that they have a vegan food option (and I think supposedly can also make many of their drinks vegan), but nothing particularly out of the ordinary. read more

Wanted to get matcha on my day off during my work trip to Denver and went to NOVO cuz it's closest to my hotel. I agree with what other people have said. The person was not really friendly. Maybe they were iust having a bad day? They asked if I am paying with credit or debit card, and I didn't really hear the first time. The way they asked me again was kinda mean and also gave me an annoying look. The matcha was okay! It became watery after a few sips but wasn't the worst I have tried! The line was also pretty long but luckily I was the first person in line. Good amount of seatings and I saw bathrooms too! Vibes are also okay but I don't think I will go back again read more

Novo Coffee became my early morning caffeine fix and afternoon break spot while I was in town for a conference. They offer coffee, espresso-based drinks, teas, and matcha as well as some pastries. I tried their oatmilk lattes twice which was warm and comforting in the cooler mornings as well as a chocolate orange scone and chocolate croissant which were good. For the afternoon, I tried one of their specials the Tokyo Fog which was earl grey iced tea topped with matcha cold foam - this was so refreshing, light, and delicious. There's seating both indoors and outside which was nice. read more

Had to wait for a while to be served, this place is clearly popular. But, I will say the wait was worth it! I tried one of their summer specials, the banana pie coffee and it was FANTASTIC! It tats exactly like banana pudding. I also liked that there was plenty of seating both indoors and outdoors for customers. I wish I was in town longer so I could try more of their menu. 10/10 highly recommend getting your caffeine fix here! read more

I had just finished my business at the Denver Convention Center and desperately needed a coffee after my 3am start that day. I had an iced Americano, which was great. I like that they have milks available by the lids and straws, so I can do it myself. Staff were very friendly and nice. My drink came out very fast. There is ample seating both inside and outside, so you can definitely come here and enjoy your coffee there. read more

Yummmmm. In town visiting and had some time to kill before a bus arrived at my stop. Wandered around to find some local coffee to avoid the green buck monster and I'm so so happy I stumbled upon Novo! The ambiance is modern industrial with clean lines and cement floors. There is both some seating inside and outside. The staff was friendly and I appreciate their inclusivity in their signage. No bigots allowed here. Now all of those pieces are nice but the coffee and pastries were so so good. I opted for a hot almond milk latte with their homemade salted caramel flavor. It was perfectly balanced, not too sweet, the hint of salt. Sooo smooth and yummy! Also had their almond croissant which was only huge in size but also huge in flavor. So pleased. Now I'm thinking I'll need to head back this afternoon for their cold brew with a cherry vanilla cold foam as that sounded so so so good! read more

Worst coffee do not buy. Ordered Americano and it looks like YooHoo and taste like water soaking in a brown paper bag. They do not use real espresso and beans are not roasted for flavor. Now I am stuck with brown flavorless water that costs way to much read more

How beautiful is that drink?! Not only beautiful, but it tasted WONDERFUL! My husband surprised me with some sort of delicious coffee drink and a vegetarian breakfast burrito and everything was so great. This coffee shop was so close to everything we needed to access -- the Grand Hyatt and the Paramount Theatre! So grateful to have some place so close to grab exactly what we needed!! read more

Wonderful little coffee shop my spouse and I happened upon. I asked for a hot chai latte and changed my mind and wanted it on ice. I asked for a cup of ice and the server told me he would remake it for me! Completely unnecessary and definitely above and beyond service. Also, the chai latte was delicious!! Would definitely recommend! read more

Nice little coffee spot in DT Denver. Cozy place to study, catch up on work, or casually hang out. Workers were very friendly and informative. They have some grab n go snacks here (chocolate bars, etc.), baked pastries, merchandise, the beans for their coffee, and some seasonal specials too. My boyfriend got the Cortado, which is espresso with warmed milk I believe. There's a cute latte art pour over with a heart. Came out fairly quickly. It's not to my taste but he enjoyed it! read more

Wanted to stop into a local coffee shop while in the downtown Denver area. Popped in on a Friday morning so not that busy. Service was friendly but a little slow that day. I just ordered a latte with maple bourbon syrup and had their giant cookie. The cookie was good especially warmed up. The latte was good but not the best I have had and the long wait for it didn't help for it to be a tad underwhelming. However, I still give it a 4 because over the coffee was pretty good and the cookie was very good. They also have items to go including their own ground coffee for those that want it to go. I would still recommend to stop in and I see they have other locations would be good to try. read more

This place was a less than 5 minute walk from my hotel in downtown Denver! My regular hot salted caramel latte with oat Malik came out to about $8 which seems a little pricey but considering the syrups are house made and the milk alternative, it was solid. The baristas were friendly and accommodating, and the service was overall quick. A very chill spot with solid seating and lots of people for a Monday morning. Recommend checking it out if you're nearby! read more

I don't know what it is about a new coffee place that makes me indecisive. Especially with the simple straight forward menu at this place. I ordered a dirty oat milk chai latte with vanilla syrup. With chai orders I try and guess whether they are using a concentrate or a tea bag to make it. If I think a tea bag I add the vanilla syrup to sweeten. The barista thankfully questioned the syrup add and informed me the chai was already sweet and she was right. I briefly prepped for a 2pm meeting while there. Although it's a small shop with a consistent flow of customers and music playing I was still able to concentrate. So it would make a decent remote work option if you were already planning to be in the area. Although I must say I didn't access the WiFi while there. read more

We went for a quick coffee before hitting the road and the Cortado I received was just ok. My cousins hot cocoa was lacking flavor and sweetness. He had to get sugar packs to sweeten it up. I've never in my life had a non sweet hot cocoa. The real issue at hand was we were going to get a pastry to go along with our coffee/cocoa and the display had flys in it. I think that pretty much explains the rating. read more

I will start by saying that the coffee is good. The interior of the place is nice. You can sit at the bar, tables or outside when the weather is nice and people watch as its a half block from 16th street. If you are looking for a quick service and are in a hurry, this is not the place. The lines at Novo are usually long and it takes a good amount of time to get to the front. On this particular occasion, the staff didn't seem all that friendly. Maybe it was a bad day for the person running the cashier. I was looking for treat and an afternoon pick me up so I popped into Novo. I order the almond croissant off of someone's recommendation and a lemon scone. The food was not that good. The croissant was crisp, but I am a traditionalist when it comes to almond croissants and this one was heavy on the filing with a modern twist. The lemon scone had the desired flavor but it was a bit on the stale side. The food was large so it was the perfect size to share with friends. read more

I've been standing 4th in line for 7 minutes and no one in front of me has had their order taken yet. Not an auspicious start. 10 minutes, orders have resumed, but still slow going. 18 minutes now, just received coffee order. They apparently had just experienced a rush of some sort on this otherwise quiet Saturday morning. I have no idea if the slow service is typical or not. While we had enough time on this visit, a 20-minute wait for 2 simple coffee drinks is unreasonable. The positives - chill music. Pride flags. The chai tasted really good and my husband's cappuccino came with beautiful latte art. Staff was fine; they exuded chill vibe as well. read more

Stumbled upon this via Yelp, of course. Novo Coffee is a small quant coffee shop, that offer several baked goods, breakfast burritos, coffee, lattes, and cortados. I ordered the latter, along with a breakfast sandwich. They both really hit the spot. Ambiance is non-Starbucks, which I like. No blaring music, and enough chairs and tables and community seats to make this place feel warm, welcoming, and delightful. Service was good, the front cashier was patient in explaining the menu, and the overall caffeination experience was great. Will go again read more

Great coffee, the most horrid customer service I've ever had. All the women in the shop were very rude and treated me and my friend like we were dumb from the moment we stepped in the shop. I get they were busy but we were nothing but polite, only to be herded and talked at like we were 5 when served our coffee and asked any questions. I've been all around the country and this by far was the worst experience I had. read more

I'm in town for my anniversary and we were walking from grabbing a breakfast burrito around the corner and came across Novo. Service was quick and efficient. The ambiance seemed like it would be a good place to work or do homework! Open windows and lots of natural lighting. I didn't get anything but the pastries in the case looked really good! The brown butter chocolate chip cookie looked so good! My boyfriend ordered the chai and I got a matcha sweetened. To be honest I wasn't really a fan of the matcha, it tasted really watered down and flavorless. You could definitely tell it wasn't ceremonial grade matcha. My boyfriend's chai was really really good, super spicy which is my favorite kind of chai. If I was ever in town again and came across from this place I would just order a coffee. read more

Good spot for a coffee! They have some seating at the bar and some tables as well. I saw that they had some interesting seasonal latte flavors and opted for the autumn fig flavor. I got it iced with almond milk. I thought it was pretty good! Not overly sweet, nicely balanced. Not sure if I really tasted the flavor of the fig, it was quite subtle. But it still tasted good and was a unique flavor fitting of the season. They also sell some gorgeous looking pastries behind the counter! read more

High quality roaster. Only half block north of 16th street mall and the pavilion. Laid back atmosphere. A few outdoor tables along sidewalk but most of seating indoors. Many people in hanging out either working or meeting on Thursday afternoon. Now to the important piece, the coffee. The pour over, Bonita springs, had fantastic tasting notes. Initial tastes are bright and fruity which quickly evolve into a heavier than expected body with some bitter chocolate and almost a bit of butter popcorn that then leads into a smooth finish. After taste as if I just ate a chocolate covered blueberry which is type of hot coffee I tend to gravitate towards. They certainly had some darker roasts available if one prefers. Beans simple in labeling but diverse in selection. I chose Ethiopian, hence preference for lighter bodied fruity coffees. However, selection included Sumatran, Panamanian, Guatemalan, Brazilian as well as some blends. Bag of beans purchased comes with a free drip coffee. Staff was inviting and knowledgeable about their product. Glad I stopped in read more

Novo, No-Go! I waited 5 minutes for a coffee that was overpriced and tasted like watered down cherrios. I used to work as a Anthropod specialist back in the day at a childrens musem, used to handle Cockroaches and a bunch of other insects, when handling cockroaches you start to develop a allergy to them. Any touches mean a reaction to me now, even when ones been on my pillow a day earlier id know. After drinking this coffee my lips became itchy and mouth irritated as it usually does drinking a pre-ground coffee from big brands, so you can put the magnets together if you must. Music playin in the place was nice though, some unsavory racist music playing through the aux, so nice one! Id rather go to 7/11 and take my chances with the crackheads doing rubber ducky with the hotdogs. read more

A lot of folks from the conference I attended came here. We decided to stop in since we were walking around the area. I got a cortado with a pump of lavender while my other colleague got a caramel iced latte. Delicious! Prob one of the better tasting espressos I've had so far in Denver. The lavender was too much. Prob should've asked for a half pump but it did have the floral flavor I was looking for! The staff is nice too. They didn't rush as. They weren't busy but I can see this place getting tons of customers. A few tables inside and outside. It's not a big place at all. Can't wait to come back! read more

They speak Starbucks in Novo. They have tea in Novo. They have various different kinds of pastries and burritos at Novo. If you are tired of Starbuck and don't want to give any more money to rich people collecting dividends, then you can visit Novo. The only reason I have given them 4-stars is that sometimes they don't appear to be busy but they are actually working hard to make your drink one at a time. That's the way I like it but I'd rather have tea to be what I like. Novo - not so new but never old! read more

Went here on a Saturday morning with my husband and sister. We were staying downtown so this location was very convenient. Coffee shop was cozy and good vibes. The second I walked in, I felt welcome. We grabbed a table so we could sit for awhile. I ordered a latte (it was a special). It was soooo delicious and I appreciated the artwork. It was also a good size latte. We shared a pastry- everything bagel pastry thingy. I never had anything quite like it. It was a wonderful mix of sweet and savory. Cute spot in downtown with great coffee, definitely recommend! read more

I will preface this by saying the coffee was good. It's the service that will keep me from coming back here ever again. Slow and irreverent. The person who took my order was in deep conversation with the barista and took long pauses between customers to converse. When it was FINALLY my turn (I waited 15 minutes and there were only 3 people in front of me) her expression was bored and uninterested. She was doing me a favor by taking my order, it seemed. Worst feeling ever. That's not the vibe you want. read more

Came to this cafe trying to get a couple hours of work in and ordered an ice matcha latte with almond milk. I'm not sure if it's because I got a plant-based milk, but you can see that the some matcha floating at the bottom of the drink. The drink itself was solid with a hint of sweetness (which the barista confirmed if I wanted). I will mention that this drink was about $8. There is plenty of seating here to get some work done but there are only 2 walls with outlets. They are bit harder to reach so I would recommend coming with a charged computer. The staff were friendly and nice! For the location, there was a good amount of metered street parking. read more
