Everything is over priced! Went there view times,Baristas very friendly except one or two. The owner Asian lady I think is very mean,how she talk to people especially me made me uncomfortable. I won't go back. Enough with that tattooed Asian owner. read more

Nice little cafe with decent amount of seating, great drinks, and very yummy pastries! Staff were sweet and friendly. Very cozy feel. Great place to come for studying or to get some work done. Pistachio croissant and leek/parmesan croissant were delicious!! The spicy chicken empanada was great too! But a bit pricy for the size. read more

A wonderful selection of coffee, tea, and delicious food (orange cranberry bread is my favorite). The quiche is wonderful! Parking in the back and on the street. Beautiful outdoor patio. Good, comfortable indoor seating with a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Gorgeous wood tables and decor. Owners and baristas are always terrific and greet you as you enter the shop. Founded by a father and daughter. This is a favorite, and I highly recommend Kochi Cafe if you are looking for calm, quiet, and relaxation. read more

A little piece of calm in an otherwise chaotic area (they have their own lot which is a bonus). Came here in the early afternoon on a weekend and it was poppin'. Not a ton of seating options indoors, but they do what they can given the space. Baristas were busy but remained friendly and helpful for recommendations. We came with a stroller and managed to find a spot to post up with baby, but it wasn't the most stroller friendly spot we've been to. Also not sure if this would be the best place to get work done from, though I did see some outlets. Loved their tea selection and the fact they had multiple pots steeped and on display - looked like you can also buy some of their bulk loose tea, which I am very excited about as they carry a brand I'm a fan of. Curious about their tea drinks, too. My husband had their Boulder Blues tea and it was delicious. I went with a seasonal coconut latte and it was also a winner. We didn't opt for anything boozey, but the options were there! Decent food selection for a small coffeeshop, though the spicy chicken empanada was on the dry side. My husband enjoyed his pop tart and empanada and they had pretty good looking sweet treats that others seemed to be digging. I don't think I would go out of my way to come back here to enjoy the ambiance, but I will absolutely come back to stock up on loose tea and maybe try another seasonal latte while I'm at it. read more

Stumbled into this cafe on my way to my doctors office. Such a nice and cozy spot with unique drinks! Love it! I ordered the green tea latte with oat milk and it was delicious! There is plenty of seating. Service was fast with friendly staff. The only thing is parking was a bit confusing. But besides that this place might be one of my favorite cafes this year! read more

The vibe at Kochi Cafe was really nice. There were some people just hanging out enjoying their drinks and others were working. I tried their almond croissant and the snowberry tea-monade. They heated up the croissant for me and it tasted pretty good, The outside was dusted with powdered sugar and sprinkled almonds, it all had a nice crunch and the inside was nicely soft. The tea-monade came iced and tasted like Christmas in a cold cup. It was cran-raspberry-ish with a slight pine flavor. I would definitely order this again and prefer the iced option. Although I was only in town for a day, I could see myself coming here to do a bit of work. The only downside is that this area is bustling and finding parking might be a huge chore. read more

The Kochi Cafe - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Denver, Colorado

Kochi Cafe is a coffee and tea shop near the Trader Joe's right off Colorado Blvd. Aka this area of town is always busy, ALWAYS hectic and chaotic. Entering the shop is a bright change of pace serving a daily dose of calm to your cup. I hadn't been in here in a long time. I came in to work on my laptop and take a few calls. There were patrons scattered around mostly catching up with others. The shop itself is a little plain, a bit outdated compared to many Denver cafes. Some might call it homie, but for me the dirty tables and older decor wasn't screaming for a return visit right away. I ordered an iced Americano and a Spicy Chicken Empanada. The coffee was good! The empanada on the other hand was unlike any other empanada. The texture and color was off. And you can tell the salsa that was served with it was from a can. I'd skip this next time and just stick with a beverage personally! Baristas were friendly. They had a steady flow of customers throughout the day. I was one of the last people in the shop before closing and they didn't rush us out. Compared to other coffee shops in Denver, Kochi doesn't have the same memorability factor. But they do a good job for the neighborhood! read more

The coffee is ok but the Kochi has really poor customer service and will get your order incorrect.

I feel so lucky to be able to visit and enjoy this place. Relaxed, cozy and chill ambiance, noise level is moderate - low music and espresso machines. They are probably most famous for their tea - lots of herbal, black, green tea options and specialty drinks from those tea. This is a tea lover heaven especially if you want specialty drinks and not just plain tea in water. And then there are their pastries... a case of delight. I had the bacon cheddar quiche - one of the best quiche of my life, including the ones I have had in France. Their orange cranberry bread is soo moist and full of orange citrusy flavor. I love the Cape Town Fog which is a play on London Fog but made with rooibos and naturally caffeine free. It is not a huge space but seats open up and they do have extended cord outlets on the floor for laptop workers. Parking is easy in the back and staffs are pleasant. Love love this shop. read more

This is by far the most amazing coffee and tea shop in Denver! Not only is it gorgeous but the baristas are always so sweet. This is my go to when you're craving something other than boring traditional coffee flavors. I would seriously give my life for one of the pistachio croissants, the mate late, and the coconut oolong latte. You can also purchase their teas in bags! Stop here after your next Trader Joe's run for the perfect cold weather treat. read more

I had visited this place in a previous iteration, before it was the Kochi Cafe. It was high time to visit the new coffee shop. I really liked the decor, although the place was packed and it took a while to get a table. I had an Americano with oat milk, which was good, but with a surcharge for the alternative milk. (I'm fed up with being penalized for having to avoid lactose, not to mention the compassionate benefits of encouraging non-dairy.) I had a really tasty pecan scone, but they do need to display gluten free stuff separately to avoid cross contact. This is a great place for a warm drink on a cold day, but I did think their prices were steep. So, I really liked the Kochi Cafe, but there are some pros and cons to the place. read more

So glad I stumbled upon this cafe! Inside was very cozy, staff were polite and pretty quick to serve. I got a classic iced vanilla latte with no complaints not to sweet perfect amount of vanilla but my favorite was the bacon quiche! I'm very picky with my quiches and this one was a 10/10! Definitely recommend for a cute place to chill and get coffee! read more

Came on a Friday around 12 pm and grabbed a table to watch a few work videos. No complaints about the wifi and there was an outlet right next to me too. Most of the tables were full, but there was always a few seats available for new comers. There's a parking lot in the back, but it didn't seem like there were many spots. I snagged a residential parking spot, but they were 1-2 hrs max without a permit. I also got a yummy pastry, apple cinnamon bread. They have a big selection of cookies, croissants, breads, etc. I overheard they're pastries by a bakery that sells them at a Farmers Market. read more

This place was super cute. Small but not to small. There was a wall of fresh tea you could purchase and they all had funky names and a description. My friend and I got coffee and this flat bread 13/10. Can't wait to go back next time I'm in Denver! read more

Cute space inside and accommodating space outdoors for gatherings with friends as well as for doing work. Broad range of drink offerings (caffeine-free as well!) service was very prompt and a convenient location next to the busy TJ's. They also have their own parking lot. Def would come back for a study sesh! read more

We were both pretty surprised by the quality of this place! Caramel macchiato tasted supremely fresh as my latte was as tasty as can be! The empanadas really hit the spot too. Also customer service was 10/10. Super patient and accomplished to my many questions. Lovely place! read more

We're regulars at Kochi! Today's cold weather called for something different so I had the hot chocolate, so perfect for a snowy morning. And as always, really nice staff, cozy atmosphere, and a friendly environment. Definitely give Kochi a try if you're in the neighborhood. read more

The Kochi Cafe - Hot chocolate! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Denver, Colorado

One of the many cafes within the 3 block radius in a long Colorado boulevard is a must. Kochi has a place in your rotation of your morning pick me ups. The staff is great and the drinks are of excellent quality. The coffee we had tasted great and they had such a wide variety of teas and beans to choose from. The caramel macchiato was great as an iced drink while my gf enjoyed her mocha. The food selection was slim when we got there so couldn't comment on that. It was a great day to plan out our trips and we would definitely be back. read more

I went in not knowing much if anything about teas or their menu. The ladies behind the counter answered every question I had, even the dumb ones! They are very professional and knowledgeable. Not a warm fuzzy feeling, but direct and to the point. I had a dirty chai, it wasn't overly spicy, which I liked. Sometimes chai's are too much. This was subtle and you could tell the tea was good. My son had the blended peanut butter drink, omg it is delicious! So much peanut butter!! Smacks you in the face! It's good! The pop tarts we got were a little dry, but the filling was tasty. They have parking in the rear and nice outdoor seating. I'll definitely be back. read more

This is a fantastic place to do work in! The seating inside and outside is incredibly comfortable and there are plenty of outlets for your devices. The only reason I took off a star however is the fact that the internet is not very reliable. I had to connect to various other providers to get things done and even resorted to using my phones hot spot. The food and tea are definitely worth it though! I ordered the ham and cheese croissant which was buttery and stuffed with ham/cheese. Tea was great but wish they had a disclaimer saying that the mate was only served cold. The customer service was EXCELLENT, Made me happy to be there even tho I didn't want to get work done lmao. Will be returning for the vibes and coffee! read more

A hidden gem in Denver! I found Kochi Cafe from none other than Yelp itself! I was looking for a place close to myself and my friend and this was the most highly rated coffee place! Right as you walk in you will notice the signs that ask you to wear a mask, the social distancing stickers on the floor, and the chairs were turned upside down every other table for social distancing. I felt that Kochi Cafe cared about their customers and I felt very safe. There were so many drink options to choose from! I was stuck between the Creamsickle Kooler or a peppermint hot chocolate! I decided on the peppermint hot chocolate. I also got a chocolate croissant! The croissant was huge!!! I forgot to get a picture of it because I was so excited! It was delicious! I can not wait to go back and get another! The hot chocolate was the perfect temperature as well and I loved the hint of peppermint! I'm always cautious when it comes to ordering a peppermint hot chocolate because sometimes the peppermint will overwhelm the chocolate and it's just too much; but Kochi Cafe has found the secret oh how not to overwhelm the chocolate! It was delicious!!! They have patio seating available, free WiFi, a large selection of baked goods, and plenty of drink options! Something for everyone! Next time I go I will try the creamsickle Kooler and maybe get another chocolate croissant! read more

Typical hipster cafe. Nice patio. High prices. Passive-aggressive barista. Everything you've come to expect from going out in Denver.

Really good coffee and tea drinks. They do offer breads and other food options (limited) They were enforcing the social distancing rule with spots on the floor to keep guests a safe distance from Friendly and helpful employee. She could have used a second person the day I visited as she had to make drinks, man the register, etc. Kochi sends coupons if you sign up on their email list. Great cafe close to Colorado Blvd on 8th Ave. read more

Their teas and food selection are especially why I love this cafe compared to others. Reasonable prices and great service!

I've been on a mission to try some hidden gems in the area and boy did Kochi cafe deliver. This place brings a quiet vibe to an otherwise busy and up and coming part of town. The display cases are adorable and the overall atmosphere of this place is calm and welcoming. I ordered a bacon egg and cheese sandwich and a drip coffee. Total came to 9-something with tax and tip. They give you an option for light or dark roast, which is a nice bonus. Croissant on the sandwich was flaky and the ingredients were overall well executed. They have some unique options for breakfast too, such as quiches and empanadas, I have to come back and try more. read more

Kochi Cafe is easily one of my favorite coffeeshops in Denver! This one stands out because of the phenomenal customer service, creative beverages, and tasty pastries. I came here to get a few hours of work done while exploring somewhere new in the neighborhood. Street parking wasn't bad. I walked into this peaceful place and ordered at the counter before finding a table. Per usual, I got a latte and some sort of sweet bread, probably apple cinnamon. I really wanted a pop tart, but they were out. They have sweet and savory options, as well as gluten free. Would love to try their smoothies or Kochi Koolers next time, in some rare moment when I don't want caffeine. Time flies with their chill music and upbeat culture! Can't wait to come back. read more

Very concerned that a couple Black children were playing outside. I don't know if they were being mischievous, but as they're clearly under 13 years old, they are going to be. The barista, after seeing them doing whatever they were doing, yelled to them that she would call the cops if they continued, even though they are clearly children being children. I wouldn't want to shop at a business that forgets weaponizing the police against children's childish actions (and we HAVE to note they are BLACK children, as stated previously) is harmful and threatening. Please teach adults in your business to address situations appropriately. read more

Black & Brown patrons be mindfully aware of this place - I'm sincerely appalled at what I've experienced as harassment and racial bias at Kochi Cafe on Monday November 21st. Lexi (Manager/Owner) I'm so saddened. I've been a frequent customer at this location for the past few months and on this day I decided to switch locations to work inside. I arrived close to 10:20 am to continue working - I was approached by an employee (who I later found out was the Manager/Owner) about 15+ minutes later asking did I need them to make anything. I declined and stated I would make a purchase later. 30+ minutes passes and I was approached a second time by the same employee asking again if I want to make a purchase - I stated no thank you and that I'd be purchasing something soon. Fast forward to 1:30 Pm and a White female employee with a short swooped bang approached me for the third time and said "I hate to do this but my Manager called me and said that it's against store policy to be here without making a purchase." I was appalled at the level of targeting within a 5 hour period; there were many others there who were also working and had not purchased anything prior to sitting down, yet I was approached 3 times then asked to leave. I've never experienced anything like this to see it on SM but to experience it in my own neighborhood just wow... I was simply minding my Black business and was targeted for simply existing. I was heartbroken that a woman owned business has policies in place where employees AND the manager feel empowered to treat regular patrons this way. I returned to the store Tuesday November 22 to express my deep sadness directly to the manager - who even admitted that she'd seen me before and that it wasn't a "problem for me to be there" and that they've been cracking down on loitering guests & patrons. As the ONLY Black customer in the store that day (other than those coming in and out to purchase items) I call foul play on this and will never return to this location again. I've warned all of my friends to avoid this place and I advise you to walk down the street to Frank & Roze Coffee where I've felt safe to simply exist and have never been racially targeted. I highly encourage management, the owner, and employees to check your biases as they cause great harm regardless of your perceived intent. 0 stars and I'm severely saddened that I experienced this from a purportedly woman owned business read more
