    Friendly, inviting and quick service. Outlets are set up for easy plug in for laptops. Nice variety of hot, cold and seasonal beverages. Clean restroom and seating area.

    Came to Carbon Coffee to try out their matcha drink. They have plenty of parking in the back and the inside is perfect for hangout, study sesh or quick work spot. I got the mango sticky rice matcha and my sister got the hojicha latte with earl grey syrup added to it. Both of them were just okay. The flavor was not as strong and both drinks were very milky. I wish it had more strong matcha flavor to it. Hojicha was not bad but still it just tasted very milky in the end. I'm glad we tried this place out and might come back to give it a second try to see if it's better.

    Absolutely loved our drinks and experience here. It was empty on a Sunday morning, so service was super quick. The barista was really sweet and welcoming. We got the strawberry matcha and ube latte iced w almond milk, both 10/10. Not overly sweet, just perfect. I love that they weight out their matcha, very authentic!

    Incredible! I will totally have to go here again. I went here specifically for Mile High Asian Food Week. I got the Tokyo Fog-their take on a London Fog. It's Oolong Tea, Earl Grey Syrup, and a Matcha Foam on top. Holy cow. One of the best drinks I've ever had. It should be noted that I have never really been a huge fan of matcha. However, this drink may have converted me. I will be back again, mark my words. Lol. I also got a Pandan Coconut scone as well. It was huge but went really nicely with my drink. Definitely want to try their Ube scone next time. I got here right at 7 AM, when they open. Parking was easy and the shop was very clean. There aren't a ton of spots to sit down for large groups, but lots for pairs, so I'm not sure I would necessarily count on sitting down here. Its aesthetic in general, is simple and clean. Finally, service was very kind and did an amazing job at making my drink.

    Been to Carbon Coffee a few times and the drinks always are yummy. The only employees are incredibly accommodating and will offer to make changes without being prompted. The shop is a bit narrow, making it a great place to work or read!

    Chestnut Cardamom Latte

    The wife and I popped in here early on a Sunday morning; it was quiet with no other patrons, just two very nice employees. Small but well utilized space. We chose to "sip in" thus our bevvies were served in real coffee mugs, but to go cups are of course available. We both chose seasonal lattes- Wifey had the Chestnut Cardamom and I had the Bourbon Bells; both were fantastic! Latte art, perfect foam to milk ratio and a harmonized blend of flavors. They offer a variety of milk alternatives, including pistachio milk which I haven't see offered anywhere else. It appears they are masters of matcha and offer quite a variation of this; I've never been a big fan of matcha but I imagine if that's your jam you would want to explore their intriguing offerings such as the Blueberry Lavender Matcha. Bonus: Local Beans available for sale supporting local roasters Servant and Sweet Bloom. Highly recommend!

    Beat matcha in Denver!! Each matcha is whisked to order, not premade in a squirt bottle like others... Even with this, service was still fast. Flavors are balanced perfectly, always creamy, and come out the same every time you come!

    Small local coffee shop with a fiercely loyal following. Despite "coffee" being highlighted in their name, their delicious matcha and hojicha tea drinks are probably what they're even better known for. It's located just across the street from the Anschutz Medical Campus, so you'll find lots of healthcare workers and students camped out in the middle of the day and afternoon. A decent size parking lot exists behind the building but is shared with several other retail spaces so can get tight during peak hours. And not to worry, you can enter through the front or back doors, so no need to walk around the block with your hands full. Once you find yourself inside, take a peek at their main menu behind the bar, but also the posted seasonal specials located on the counter. Housemade syrups elevate their standard lattes to even more heavenly sipping experiences. If you've got a hankering for Asian inspired flavors, look no further - ube, black sesame, and pandan feature prominently in their craft drinks and pastries. I like that they partner with other local businesses in their products as well. One complaint I do have is that there's not really room to stand to wait for your drink during busy times given how narrow the space is between the bar, tables, and merch shelves. You're bound to get in someone's way while they're trying to come in from the front or back entrance. The only other downside of Carbon is the disappointment you feel when you finally get to the ice cubes clinking sadly in your cup when you reach the end of your drink.

    Matcha and hojicha

    It was so rare that I was on this side of town, I knew I had to stop by this coffee shop. I've heard amazing things about this shop. I have come to yelp to confirm, it absolutely lives up to the hype. This is one of the few places I can say I'd reorder the matcha latte. Creamy, but full of matcha with the perfect balance of sweetness. The hojicha was also fairly authentic and had a great earthy flavor to it. Service was quick and friendly. There aren't too many tables available, but great for a solo work day.

    Earl Grey Matcha

    This shop was quite busy when I visited during the day, which is a good sign :) Great place to get comfy with your computer and get work done. I was just passing through, so I grabbed a drink and left. My earl grey matcha was simple and delicious.

    Okay, let's start with the year round banana milk lattes... I'm obsessed and every time I'm in Denver I make it a point to drop in here for one. BUT LATELY they've been making things hard on me because their matchas are really freaking good as well. Today I ordered a spice pear matcha and OMG I was not prepared. I'm in heaven! The service is always so accommodating and kind. They clearly take pride in their coffee and their space. If I lived locally I would be here daily!

    Ube matcha with latte art

    Carbon coffee was a nice find for my afternoon matcha fix. Carbon is a small coffee and matcha shop with a pretty chill vibe. There's not a whole lot of tables if you're looking for work space but if you're lucky enough to grab a seat i think you can pretty easily find a good flow state. They got the traditional coffee menu items plus some fun ones like a banana latte. They've got good matcha options and I ended up getting the ube matcha with oat milk. The ube flavor was not overpowering and I really enjoyed the drink. The service was friendly and I enjoyed my visit.

    Mango matcha
    Dawn W.

    Great service, nice atmosphere? And amazing matcha. Creative flavors like mango sticky rice matcha. Seasonal flavors like Cherry blossom. They were busy but, have a great system to get drinks out fast. I can't wait to go back. They should do a matcha flight because it was really hard to choose!

The ube latte was perfectly sweet with a strong ube flavor. The crème brûlée cruffin had a top that was so crispy from the toasted sugar that I couldn't cut into it, and the bottom was just stuffed full of cream. It was super messy to eat and impossible to share- next time I am getting my own. We also had the pandan coconut cupcake, which was good but not as exciting as the cruffin. The pandan and coconut were both equally strong flavors- I liked it better than my husband did. The Thai tea cake in a cup was also excellent, but outshone by the cruffin. They were out of a few other things we wanted to try by 11am on a Saturday, so get there early if you want something specific.

The space is cozy, welcoming, and a great place to relax with a cup of coffee. I ordered the Vietnamese coffee because, as a Vietnamese customer, I was excited to taste a familiar flavor from home. Unfortunately, it didn't taste like traditional Vietnamese coffee. It was quite mild and lacked the bold, rich flavor and sweetness that Vietnamese coffee is known for. I truly hope the owner will consider refining the recipe to make it more authentic. It would make the experience even better for Vietnamese customers looking for the taste of home, while also introducing others to what real Vietnamese coffee is supposed to taste like. Overall, I still enjoyed my visit and wish this local business continued success.

I'll probably come back because it's near my house and it is so tasty, but if I had to drive, this might be the death knell. I have a little bit of a bad taste in my mouth. And an empty belly.

It was a SINGLE pin on my google map - no pins near it at all! I must have pinned this at some point as "a place to go to sometime when in the area" but I really can't remember pinning it and am not sure why I would pin a coffee shop located in a church! However! This is the second coffee shop that I've seen in Denver while driving by - like located as part of a massive church, so it was interesting to actually be checking it out. It was a weekday and there was a vast parking lot and there were like 4 cars. LOTS of parking! Once inside, I immediately relaxed! Didn't even know I was tense! There was so much to look at and it smelled so good inside. Couldn't quite put my finger on it. Something baked tho. My eyes wandered everywhere over the various retail areas, the furniture - couches to patio furniture, the people behind the counter, the various large chalkboards, menus, etc. Lots to look at. I wound up getting a spicy chai! I never order chai! I must have been under some strange spell from being immersed in the warm comforting baked goods aroma! The spicy chai had KICK! It was so good that I ordered a second one to go! My friend ordered that ham+cheese biscuit which looked amazing, with those cheese legs dripping! Whoa! It was such a nice coffee + conversation vibe. I would totally go again if I am ever in that area again! Oh! The 2 behind the counter were very friendly and knowledgeable about their vast variety of menu and drink items!

I wish it would have been a bit thicker but all in all it was very scrumptious. For that donut cake alone I would definitely come back.
