I love coming back here. This is a cute and cozy coffee shop located in a shopping plaza. If you decide to bring your laptop to work, they have outlets along the wall and wifi password. They have a lot of options for treats and snacks. The staff is always welcoming and friendly. I walked in about 8am on a Thursday morning and within an hour the place was filled with customers catching up over coffee. It is a lovely space to hang out at.

Our family had a pleasant coffee experience at this coffee shop yesterday. It was our first time to visit Ground Up. The location was convenient off of S. Kipling & W. Belleview on the SW side of Denver in Littleton, there was enough free parking for this business and strip mall, the shop was nicely decorated on the inside and outside, we were welcomed upon entering, there was a surprising amount of wooden chairs and tables available inside, a few comfy chairs and sitting area near the front window, and a long-table with several bar-stools and power outlets near the front window on the other side, several small tables with chairs outside the shop, no music was playing for some reason, the employee who took our order was friendly & knowledgeable, there was the full menu nicely and clearly displayed on the wall above the front ordering counter (reasonable prices), they had several good, delicious choices for lunch (my burrito was tasty but a bit small, and my family had delicious crepe's), service was solid and friendly, the dining room and restrooms were clean and did not smell at all, lighting was good, not sure if there was free WiFi, they had a cute little table off to the right side of the front counter with half-n-half, sugar, Stevia, stirrers, water, and small cups.

What a great place to get fresh, made to order, crepes! A friend and I recently visited Ground Up Coffee to try their crepes and drinks. Walking up to the shop, we noticed 2 tables with some chairs underneath 2 oversized umbrellas. While deciding what types of crepes we should try, the savory ground up favorite caught my attention while my friend decided to go with the sweet strawberry & cream. We also got a drink to go with our crepes. Mine was the tradition Thai iced tea; a latte was what my friend chose. While we were waiting for our orders, I noticed the person behind the counter started to make my crepe. First, she poured the flour mixture to make the outer layer, a thinly base to start. As it started to cook, an egg was added and spreads over the mixture. Once that is cooked, she started to add a red sauce, then grounded sausage, bacon, potatoes, and then the cheese. The entire process took about 5 minutes. In the meantime, as she was waiting for the savory crepe to complete, she was preparing the strawberry & cream crepe. The outer shell of the crepe was already made, she cut and added the sweet strawberries, the whipped cream, and the strawberry sauce was drizzled on top of the delectable dessert. We decided to split our crepes so that we can savored the moment, and boy, both crepes were delicious in their own way. Having the saltiness from the ground up favorite, and then sweet strawberry & cream right afterwards was a heavenly eating experience. My Thai iced tea was very good. Not overly sweet, and it hit the spot after eating the crepes. If you are in the area and looking for a uniquely eating experience, I would stop by Ground Up Coffee Cafe for both food and drinks.

Consistently amazing tiramisu lattes! Been here a few times and have really enjoyed it!

Pistachio White Mocha & Tiramisu Latte
Emma J.

My friend just moved to Littleton, so trying some of the new local spots! Today we got two specialty coffees - pistachio white mocha and tiramisu latte. They were both good and something we'd order again. We also felt the price ($14) for 2 medium specialty drinks was reasonable! They have a bunch of drinks, treats, and other food items we'll have to return to try.

Sausage breakfast burrito (with hot sauce)
Alexandra E.

My daughter and I stopped in on a Saturday on the way to gymnastics. The service is incredibly friendly and the community engagement is warm like a small mountain town vibe. I enjoyed the sausage breakfast burrito and iced vanilla latte. The IVL reminded me of the consistency of a boba tea drink at first which was a new take on an IVL and I quite enjoyed it. My daughter loved the cake pops and especially the sprinkles atop her iced vanilla steamer. A sweet surprise!

Peach Cobbler Crepe and Iced Almond Milk Tiramisu Latte
Siobhan P.

Saturday mid morning stop for a crepe and it didn't disappoint. Busy but not bad, this place sits right next to a Safeway and has 4 small tables out front but a good amount inside. The peach cobbler crepe was fantastic, sweet but not over done. The latte was mild and perfect. Next time a savory crepe is for sure calling my name and you can make your own or choose from their recommended offerings. They have chai, matcha and lemonades as well.

Caramel Coconut Latte

I love finding new coffee spots. Especially ones that offer such a variety, and from my understanding most, if not everything is made in house. Whether you like iced or hot, or whether you have a sweet or savory tooth, they really have something for everyone. Friendly staff! And to my surprise they have a bunch of tables for people to work, study or just savor their purchase! I have my eye on a few drinks, so I'll definitely be coming again!

Cafe Latte

This is a cozy coffee shop that offers a variety of food and drinks. They have a few unique cakes that I will have to come back to try. The latte was very good and the Lox Crepes were delicious!! It wasn't as crowded when I was there so the food and drink came out fast. Highly recommend!

Matcha Crepe Cake

I love this little place. Always delicious drinks and food with a cute little environment. Not to mention that I'm always greeted with friendly and fast service. I love showing my friends to this sweet cafe. Love the crepes and matcha!

It's a convenient location! I can get groceries from Safeway, and then I get a cup of coffee at Ground Up. Nice, clean coffee shop.

As I walked in around 4 pm with family, we were the only ones in and then as the day progressed, more people came in for an early dinner! Clean, little rustic looking, Walls filled with fun graphics, kind staff, fun looking bathroom signs (women's) is how I will describe this restaurant. We ordered tacos - al pastor, carne asada, chicken, shredded beef, Adobada (pork without pineapple) and smothered marinated pork Burrito. Loved all the dishes and the clear winner for us was the Adobada meat (marinated pork). Every single bite was flavorful, juicy and tender. The seasoning was just right without it being overpowering. Both the Tacos and the gooey Burrito were filled with lots of meat - honestly, it was simple and satisfying without it being too greasy. Pricing was very affordable for the food portions and the food quality you get here. This is definitely an authentic spot you want to visit whenever you are in the mood to eat Mexican food - simple high quality food. Highly recommended and a spot I will always return to whenever I visit Denver next time.

Sauce is a little sweet but mainly savory. Comes with beef, xiu mai (pork meatball), pate, one egg, tomatoes, raw onions and cilantro.

Yes it was Christmas but you also chose to advertise it on fb so one would expect you're prepared for the influx. Nope. Walked in a place immediately saw 2 tables not cleaned, filled with dirty dishes. 3 tables occupied by customers but none got food. 3 customers ahead of me standing on the side still waiting for their order. My guts instinct said something wrong but I persisted. Ordered. You said 15-20 min wait time. After 15 min I only saw ONE table got served and no one else. 1 out of 7 parties in 15 minutes got their food. Also 3 other customers have gone up and complained that they waited 30 minutes and still nothing. Thats INSANELY SLOW. . Two ladies were casually in the back slowly putting things together god knows what without a stress in the world. The guy in front was running around aimlessly. Needless to say I did not get to eat and asked for my refund bc at this rate I will not get my 2 banh mi, 1 spring roll, and 1 chicken probably until an hour later. My child was sick waiting in the car. Major disappoint . You've got competitions around town in this economy so do better. Will likely not come back.
