Awesome coffee and supportive of local artists! Stop in for a quick cup,or stay for a nice chat! :)

I love this place! I used to go there to study back when I was in college and it seemed a lot more quiet than it was last night when I went. But their lattes are amazing and the baristas are very friendly!! Makes it for a good place to just go people watch and read a good book while enjoying delicious coffee! read more

I love a good latte! Most coffee shops don't carry Almond milk but this one does! Yay! The staff is friendly and the environment is cozy. They are also dog friendly! I can also grab a bottle of water on my way to Wash Park. We've become regulars here. read more

A very nice neighborhood coffee spot. The coffee isn't my favorite in town (go to Corvus for that) but the pastries, especially the gluten free pumpkin bread, are always really good. Combine that with a cordial environment and Wash Perk trumps Starbucks every day of the week. read more

Oh, Wash Perk - how I love thee. Such a wonderful and charming little coffee shop. I like to stop here on my way to walk around Wash Park in the mornings. The staff is super friendly and the coffee is great. I'm not a fan of their hot chocolate (not enough chocolate), but the coffee is really good and the patio is great. Love this place. read more

Had a meeting there. Funky, comfortable place. Good coffee. Would go back again if I have a meeting in the area.

This is my favorite coffee hangout in Denver. I tend to rotate between Cap Hill, Uptown, and Wash Park, but I definitely frequent Wash Perk most often. The staff is really friendly and the coffee is not too shabby. I have sat in there for hours doing homework without disruption. Low key music, comfy seating, and in a great location. Definitely a Denver gem! read more

Great service. Wonderfully convenient. Reasonably priced. Delicious menu items. Even for a gluten free kid like me. Oh and did I mention that the coffee isn't burnt like at the chains.......... It is the only coffee shop in Denver that I frequent, and as a graduate student, that says a great deal. read more

This place is good. I wish they had more of a menu for both drinks and food though. But it's in a nice location and if you are in the park and want some java this is a nice spot to stop at. read more

I've wanted to write this review for quite awhile. I haven't posted on Yelp because I really like and respect Terri, the owner. Over the past five years, I've frequented Wash Perk and enjoyed watching her business grow. As with any establishment, there are pluses and minuses. I thought the pluses outweighed the minuses, until today when I couldn't keep silent any longer. Several months ago, I had a rather unpleasant interaction with one of the employees who checks people out. She was rude to me and said some rather unpleasant things in our interaction. Today, the same employee checked me out and barely greeted me. When she handed my change back, she just shoved it at me and didn't say thank you or anything. She proceeded to immediately go to her Smart Phone to text or look something up on the Internet. The Barista, someone else, handed my coffee to me without a word as well. I also concur with previous reviewers that nickel and diming the customer for hot water, ice and a cup, and other things is rather ridiculous. I typically spend $7-$10 dollars a visit. I've been a loyal customer, who believes in giving people benefit of the doubt. We all have bad days, but please don't take it out on the customer. Sadly, I will probably not return to this shop. I'd rather head over to La Belle Rosette on Pearl Street, across from Lincoln Elementary. The pastries are wonderful and Scott, the owner is cordial and professional, as are his employees. I'm sure my review won't affect most people and/or their decision to frequent "Wash Perk." I just truly hope that something can be done about the rudeness of the employees. I'd highly recommend some training in providing exemplary customer service. I do wish Terri and her shop all the best and I'm saddened that I have to write this review. read more

Adore this place. Great vibe, decorating and layout. Love the indoor and outdoor spaces. Great teas and chai.

Love the cozy atmosphere: not trying too hard, but very comfortable and inviting. A great neighborhood place to meet a friend, or grab a drink on the way to the park. However, their coffee is pretty terrible. I'm sorry to be the one to say it, but it always tastes burnt (a la Starbucks burnt style). I realllly wish they had better coffee, since I truly love this little place! But if you want good coffee (but a less chill and comfy atmosphere), check out Happy Coffee on Broadway, or even better is Corvus down south a bit! Great place to get work done, or to be social. Not great if you actually want good coffee. read more

I like Wash Perk. Super cutie, local coffee shop feel. The baristas sometimes know your name. Dog treats available for your pup. Place is always hoppin' on weekends. Expect a noisy spot if you're looking to lounge on a Saturday or Sunday morning. Not a huge fan of the coffee itself, but definitely a spot you should swing by if you're re in the area. read more

Great drip coffee. Plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. Lovely earthy atmosphere. They seem to be quite environmentally conscious which earns them extra points in my book. Vegan scone was excellent and not too sweet. read more

Wash Perk is my absolute favorite coffee shop to go to, they have great brews and even better vibes. This is the perfect place to study or meet with a friend. I would highly recommend stopping by Wash Perk to fill those coffee needs! read more

Awesome coffee shop. Great service. Nice vibe with great quality coffee and snack food.

Nice little coffee shop run by great people. Did I say little? Well, I meant "house large enough to seem big when empty"--but the few times I've been there recently it has been packed like a Tokyo last call train. That' s the problem with being routinely awesome, sooner or later the fan base gets too large and you have to send in a scout for seating. Very relaxed friendly place, and the seating doubles when the weather is nice. Free wifi, be sure to ask at the bar what the code is and come early for best seating and choice of pastry. Earlier is key. read more

my favorite lil neighborhood coffeeshop. you want a good drink? get yourself a honey cinnamon latte. that's a good freakin drink. you want food? they got that too. and like seats and stuff. internet? probably yeah. patio? sure. friendly baristas? why not. plus i hear the owner is really rad. read more

Love this place! Only negative thing - the wifi never seems to work. Either fix it or go the way of Pablo's and don't have it at all.

Eh....coffee was ok but the baristas were snotty and rude. Too much competition out there.

fantastic coffee house. staff is super friendly, and the coffee is darn good. the owners are great, and for a wash park coffee house, they "get it"... unlike their predecessors. hopefully wash perk is here to stay... a great addition to our neighborhood! read more

Every Friday I spend the morning at Wash Perk. It is only two blocks from my house and I regularly see people from the neighborhood in here. I am not a coffee drinker so I can't comment on the quality of the coffee although people tell me it is great. Their chai is excellent and so is there selection of muffins and pastries. Best of all I love the atmosphere, it is a great neighborhood coffee shop. read more

Stopped by this quaint coffee shop. The staff is kind and welcoming, the ambience is warm and full of character, and the coffee is flavorful and satisfying. We sat outside on the patio in the gorgeous sunshine. I had the honey/cinnamon latte with almond milk- delightful! A friend ordered the raspberry and citrus muffin. Super tasty. I recommend this spot to all in the area. read more

Great little neighborhood coffee shop. The staff was friendly and efficient. My husband is picky about his coffee, and he said it was good. The chai latte is heavily spiced - they don't skimp on flavor. The bakery items were good, too. My husband liked that the toaster was self-serve so he could get his bagel toasted just right. The gluten free cinnamon swirl coffee cake was perfectly moist and spongy. read more

nice little coffeeshop. close to the park, plenty of patio seating. great iced coffee.

Just a great coffee house. I parked my car a block away and, as I got closer to Wash Perk, I got psyched as I realized that this was one of those PERFECT coffee houses -- well lit, comforable, coloful, intimate but open, and responsive to the unique neighborhood that made it possible. The coffee was good, the attitude was great. The vibe felt like one of those neighborhood "spots" you just DREAM about. Quiet, calm, but exiting. The kind of place you could have a meeting, a book group, a date, or just some time to yourself to write a thesis or check NYT on your phone. read more

Customer service was horrible! I've been a barista and it isn't difficult making people feel welcomed and appreciated. The chai was definitely not my favorite. My boyfriend and I felt so uncomfortable that we couldn't wait to get out of there. I tipped but I wish I hadn't. read more

The coffee and snacks are good. The internet works pretty well, and sometimes most of the seats are taken by other internet users. It is nice to go to my neighborhood coffee shop that feels like a house. They also offer a discount if you ride your bike there (from another neighborhood). read more

As a Seatteite I like to think I know coffee houses and this place has great energy, great coffee and great atmosphere! It was busy today when I went at 11 a.m. middle of the week - I got quick service and a nice place by the window to sit with my newspaper. That says a lot. And I beat my friend in a game of crib! It doesn't get much better than that! read more

The coffee is just OK- this spot gets 4 stars because of the location! It's always super enjoyable to meet a friend here and then walk around the neighborhood or wash park :) read more

Cute coffee shop and great tasting coffee. Gets very busy so arrive early during the week if you want a good spot to do some work.

After being totally disappointed with Bardo's and being from LA I googled/ yelped to find a better alternative and thankfully this place didn't disappoint. They have maté, they have a friendly atmosphere, their location is not grimy, the ppl at the counter are friendly and attentive, they have less of a wannabe hipster crowd which was great. Tons of room and surge protector/ outlets their food isn't made in a microwave and everyone here overall doesn't seem obnoxious or pretentious. If I come back to Denver I'm coming here. read more

Wash Perk is my favorite coffee hang-out in all of Denver! In addition to smooth, fabulous coffee, the shop is imbued with obvious affection in the decor, seeds of change affirmations, and general sweetness of the staff. Wish I lived closer, but it's always more than worth the drive. I see other yelpers complain of problems with the internet. Perhaps that isn't the strong point, but what is far more important to me is the rare community vibe Wash Perk offers (the antithesis of internet!!!) read more

this is my most favorite coffee shop in denver!!! great for everything!!! really friendly baristas, punch cards, outside seating, parking on the street (but i've never had a problem.....its nestled right in the neighborhood). you must try their specials and may i suggest an iced lavender marshmallow matte!!!!?!?! WHOAAAAA!!!!! great place to study, have a coffee date, bring the kids :) two thumbs up!!! read more

I like it here. It's a sweet place but don't even try to go on a weekend if you want to sit down. Really. I was lucky enough to get a seat but wanted a table. When I saw an empty table seat I got up to move. Before I could walk the 15 steps, someone else had taken the seat. I turned around to go back to my first seat and that had been taken. It's always like this on the weekends. I have had better luck on weekday evenings but they do close early. So overall: decent coffee, some snacks & pastries, cute comfy place, impossibly crowded making it uncomfortable. read more

This is where I met and fell in love with Kaladi Bros Coffee.... The location is great and the staff is always friendly. This is not your 'cookie cutter' chain coffee shop. The interior alone is cool to walk thru and check out... A quick walk to Wash Park to enjoy your joe or chill out Patio syle.... Don't miss this spot! read more

I absolutely LOVE this place. The atmosphere is usually very relaxing (can get a bit busy on the weekends). It's easy for me to get a couple hours of work done while enjoying a delicious drink. My favorite? The lavender marshmallow mate, which is one of their house special's. It's great hot or iced. read more

Coffee and atmosphere are great but the wifi is terrible. I was there roughly 20 min and had to reconnect at least 5 times. When I was connected web pages took minutes to load if they loaded at all. I like to get out of the house and get a lot of work done at the local coffee shop but won't be back to Wash Perk. read more

Pretty good coffee and a good selection of pastries.

As an owner of a small business I appreciate energy and just a general solid customer experience. These guys kill it and the Java is delic!! Great vibe, solid atmosphere, and juts plain old good peeps. read more
