Whittier Cafe was truly an EXPERIENCE! The food was delicious, the service was warm, welcoming and genuine. The highlight for me was the traditional East African coffee ceremony. It wasn't just about having a cup of coffee--it was an opportunity to slow down, learn, connect and experience a beautiful piece of culture and tradition. From the moment we walked in, we felt welcomed and appreciated. Good food, great coffee, wonderful people AND a cultural experience? Yes, please! Whittier Cafe is definitely one of those places that makes you glad you stopped in. If you're in Denver, put this Black-owned gem on your list. read more

This café is the kind of place that makes you want to order a drink, pull up a chair, and stay awhile. It has such a welcoming vibe. The customer service was excellent, and everyone was patient when I had questions. I originally walked in planning to order a coffee, but after reading through their iced tea options, I decided to combine two of them. It was so delicious that I came back and ordered the exact same drink three days in a row. It's the kind of place you don't expect to find--the kind where your shoulders relax and, almost without realizing it, you think to yourself, I'm so glad I walked in here. read more

Great coffee! I had the Dark Goddess. I could taste the strength of the coffee and the flavor. It wasn't too sweet but balanced. The ambiance is nice. Customer service was great also. I'd return when in Denver again. This spot is African owned. Check it out. read more

How I've never been here before is beyond me! This place is terrific. The customer service is amazing, the food was delish, and the coffee was phenomenal. They have a nice outdoor area or inside seating with some nice A/C (very essential with this current heatwave) I loved my turkey Panini, I really liked that they serve a Clementine as a side with it. The coffee was one of the best cups I've had in Denver for sure. I can't wait to come back and try more of the menu! read more

I can't believe it's taken me so long to visit Whittier Cafe! It's very unassuming on the outside, in a quiet neighborhood. Came here with a friend in the late afternoon and sat on the outdoor patio where the weather was lovely. Others were doing work on their laptops. We enjoyed our blood orange iced teas, though I'd love to come back to try their coffee and food. I love reading all the other reviews from patrons that have positive things to say about their time here. Seems like a fantastic local spot! read more

Located in the Whittier neighborhood, this coffee shop has a little bit of everything to satisfy everyone's palate. PLUS--they're the only African Espresso Bar in Denver and proudly call themselves "The Activist's Coffee Shop" because of their strong belief in social justice and community support. What I tried: Cold Brew with a splash of oat milk Iced Latte with oat milk Cranberry Scone Turkey Avocado Cheese Panini Best bites: Loved the latte--it's my usual go-to, and they did it right! The panini was fantastic, with such a classic combo of flavors. Definitely coming back to try the burrito next! If you haven't been, check them out! read more

It's close to my house and was excited to check it out. I was a bit disappointed. I was treated with a death stare when I walked in, which isn't great for digestion. The prices are decent but the burrito was dry and looked like it had been run over by __________ (fill in the blank). read more

I am currently sitting on Whittier Cafes cozy little patio and wow, I think I may have found my new work spot. This little coffee shop is colorful, the baristas are kind, and the coffee is right up my alley It's a bit chilly out, so I went with the honey bear latte (a house favorite) and consider my afternoon made. It's the perfect amount of sweetness without being too overwhelming, and feels like a huge bear hug with every sip. (Especially on these colder days) I am looking forward to attending their East African coffee ceremonies which take place on Sundays at two and trying their wide variety of teas they offer. P.s. they are dog friendly! See you soon Whittier cafe! Thank you! read more

Very chill and inviting. The drinks were DELICIOUS. (Please note and absorb the capitalization for emphasis.) The cafe: The feel of the place was very unassuming and friendly. There's an outdoor patio to the left of the cafe with ample space for social distancing. Indoors is more cozy - difficult to have too many people at once though. The room goes back like a wide railroad room with limited seating. There are books and board games in the back bookshelves across from the bathroom. The drinks: -Matcha latte has a true matcha green tea flavor. Deep milky matcha taste and not sweet. -The Cortado was richly satisfying and I'm not a coffee drinker. I'll return to try other coffee drinks here in the future. -I'm in love with their hot chocolate. Not too milky, sweet, or heavy. No powdery-feeling. I'm rarely impressed by a hot chocolate but it's just right here. -You can taste the pure flavor of all three drinks - it's like the flavors aren't adulterated with other distractions like a lot of espresso drinks (i.e. Starbucks). read more

Not sure why I tipped, if they can't simply hand me my order?! Instead of putting it at the other end of the bar quietly... Nobody competent anymore... food is good, don't deserve tips here though... read more

Cute cafe with affordable food offerings and pastries! My boyfriend and I went here for our first meal in Denver. We were looking for a quick and yummy lunch in the area, and we were not disappointed! Veggie Panini (5 stars) - perfectly grilled sandwich bread slices held very fresh and crisp arugula and tomato along with cheese, pickles and some kind of pesto. It really hit the spot and I was surprised the bread didn't get soggy since I got takeout Turkey Vegetable Panini (4 stars from my boyfriend) - He was happy the sandwich was held together by hearty bread and didn't fall apart. The fillings were satisfying, but a bit heavy on the arugula and light on the turkey. Burrito of the day (3.5 stars from my boyfriend) - Overall an okay burrito but on the small side. It was advertised to have bacon, but his didn't have any. Overall, the prices were extremely reasonable, and we will probably visit again during our stay read more

I loved coming here to get some work done recently. It's such a cozy space. The outdoor area was beautiful too with a lovely mural on the wall. This is everything a coffee shop should be including cozy, inspiring, and there's even a small selection of games and books. I had the caramel frappuccino with oat milk. I was excited they could make it vegan with a few different vegan milk options. The drink was really good. I can't wait to revisit and try more things on the menu. read more
