Queen City Coffee feels like one of those places that understands exactly what it is and doesn't try too hard beyond that. Good coffee, relaxed atmosphere, and the kind of space where people actually seem to want to hang out instead of just grab a photo and leave. It also really fits the energy of Five Points well -- modern without feeling sterile and busy without feeling chaotic. Definitely somewhere I'd stop into again if I was in the neighborhood. Also, RIP Pandemic Donuts. Truly some of the best donuts in Denver and I still think about them occasionally. read more

Cute spot in five points for coffee and wifi if you'd like to do work. It's pretty small inside, so make sure you get there early if you want to sit there for a while. I appreciate the use of mason jars rather than disposable cups! Eco friendly. The coffee was good, service was friendly, and it's a lovely local business! read more

Super solid spot! Probably one of the best lattes I've ever had in Denver! Perfect temp, milk wasn't burnt, espresso was solid. There's an outdoor seating area and indoor tables for working from home if you wanted to. Good vibes in there, clean and modern and super nice staff! read more

This place nicely depicts the traditional image of a coffee shop "corner shop" because it's situated on the very corner of Welton and 30th in the quieter section of the whole RiNo neighborhood. It's an easy few hundred yards stride from one of the L line light rail stations. Talking about the convenience of getting here from the central downtown. After having a quick bite to eat at a nearby taco place, I needed a little pick me up. Since I had known about this place before the meal, I thought I would walk over here from it to grab a refreshing coffee product (you got to have food in your stomach before you consume coffee, right??) Instead of going with my usual (hot or iced espresso with a splash of cream), I went with the Nitro Cold Brew as it caught my eye. They only have one size for this menu item which is 16oz. Sounded good to me. And I asked for a side cream so I would be able to regulate the amount which the barista gave me pleasantly. This is a quaint coffee shop when it comes to space. It was warm inside as the temperature was hitting 80 degrees that day (hence the front door was left wide open.) It's still early for AC use so this made sense (although this made me wonder how the temperature would be on a hot summer day even with the AC being on; I hope they have AC here, I'm pretty sure they do. Do they though?? LOL!) Interior is mostly white. Some murals on walls which nicely accent the interior to create ambiance/atmosphere. Simply and yet good enough where it's not too much. Based on this experience of mine. This place checks out as a good neighborhood coffee shop which I can talk about with friends and neighbors. As I continue my search for good coffee shops in this Mile High city, I hope to discover more shops like this one. read more

First time here. This location is in Five Points close to Downing St. The RTD light rail L line goes by hourly. The back of their space is the Pandemic Donuts kitchen which is closing today after 5 years. They offer hot & cold beverages + Bonfire breakfast burritos and pastries. I got a chocolate sprinkled old fashioned donut with a vanilla latte. Very good. I then got a Bonfire burrito and a Chai Latte. I joined their rewards program and got 2 points. At 5 points you get $1 off. They offer 9 different blends of coffee beans for sale. They accept cash and cards. read more

Ambiance: it's located at a corner spot, very close to train station, they open early in the mornings and close in the early afternoons Service: very fast and efficient, place the order at counter and grab it from there too Drink: simple menu for drink Turmeric Latte - *** mediocre taste, gritty texture, should have been stirred more thoroughly Price: each latte costs about $5 read more

I was intrigued by the mission, and so I stopped in to try the coffee. I drink decaf and didn't have much time, so I ordered a decaf double shot. The espresso was very chocolatey, which lived up to the tasting notes of "chocolate and blackberry." I'm not a fan of chocolate notes in my coffee, but I'm glad that the tasting notes are accurate. The service was good and I love how they have a walk up window in addition to their tiny cafe space inside. Additionally, they had a small patio outside where people were sitting with their dogs. It was a great vibe. read more

This cute little coffee shop was only a 3 min walk from our Airbnb! It was super warm & inviting. The baristas were so nice. I ordered an iced vanilla latte which is delish & my husband ordered a mocha cappuccino, which was great as well. And the donuts looks absolutely delicious but didn't get it this morning. We will be back for sure! read more

The people: awesome. Coffee: quite good. Pricing: I remembered why I haven't visited in 8 months, although I live a block away. They do have a loyalty program. It's almost overwhelming. 5 drinks = dollar off. I almost can't bear all that gratitude. Probably won't return for a long time. read more

Vibe: 4/5 - cute little bright shop with an indoor and outdoor ordering spot. Small seating area inside and out Coffee: 3/5 - I enjoyed my courtship but the americano my husband ordered was not good. Really faint coffee taste and too much water Staff: 5/5 - they were super friendly! read more

Coffee is very tasty and reasonably priced. I got a flavored latte, the service is prompt, and the price was fair (about $5.50). Parking can be a bit tricky on the weekend. read more

Quiet, small business, nice staff, good coffee. But didn't offer a single sugar-free option outside of sugar substitute packet. Deal breaker for me . read more

Nice flavor to the coffee at QCC! I had an oat milk latte and a donut from Pandemic Donuts - which shares the shop with QCC. Friendly, neighborly service too. We sat outside with our bikes. Many others biked here also, while several also walked in from the neighborhood. A few drove and picked up coffee and donuts to take home. Love the vibe here - on the far east side of Welton Street - just before you get to Downing. read more

Shop is small & nice/well kept but the matcha wasn't anything to write home about, nor was the lavender syrup I paid $.75 to be added to my drink. For $8 & a small cup of matcha, it just wasn't worth it. I won't be back. read more

Beautiful little spot with great coffee and very friendly baristas. I'm glad I stopped by and will be back.

Perfect chai tea latte, just the right mix of sweet and spice! The staff were super friendly and the coffee shop is beautiful, with a clean and modern aesthetic. read more

This is hands down my favorite coffee shop! The coffee is consistently amazing, and my go-to drink is an oat mocha--it's always perfectly balanced and delicious. The staff here are friendly, helpful, and really know their coffee. I spend most mornings around 7 AM here, playing a board game with my daughter, and it's the perfect spot to start the day. While I love seeing it packed, I can usually find an open table without an issue. One of the things that sets this place apart is their commitment to ethically sourced beans--if you do a little research, you'll see they take their sourcing seriously, and that matters to me and my husband. If you love great coffee, good vibes, and a welcoming atmosphere, drink coffee here. You won't regret it! read more

One of my favorite neighborhood coffee spots. Small little space on the corner of Welton with indoor and outdoor seating as well as a little takeout window. The coffee is always brewed to perfection and the staff always greets you with a smile. Love the merch too! read more

Delicious cronuts and coffee - chill ambiance and fast service. They have a walk up window as well

This was our first visit to Queen City and it left a pretty good impression on us. The baristas are really nice and the coffee is quite good. They have very limited seating though. We had to ask to share with a few people and they weren't very gracious about it. read more

I love this place because their chai is very good. The donuts are also very good. Next time I want to try a breakfast sandwich. I am not a coffee drinker, but my friend says it is one of his favorites for coffee. It is roasted in house, which is very cool! Buy local, right? The staff is always friendly and helpful. The space is always clean, calm, and bright. The bathrooms are non-gender biased, which is refreshing. Overall, highly recommend this place even if you are not in the area. read more

Visiting Denver for the first time, it was a mission of mine to try as many local coffeeshops as possible. I hit about 10 and this was top 2 for me. The staff is super warm and inviting, there's ample seating, and I loved the few pieces of wall art I came across. This is, of course, on top of having the best cup of coffee for me (go-to: latte with oat milk). I hope to come back during a future trip, and come early enough to try the pastries! ;) read more

I am a coffee shop lover in general, but Queen City Collective is an especially great find! I came by right around opening time on a cold and snowy morning for a pick-me-up and was greeted by a warm smile and some awesome service. I ordered a decaf latte ($4.50) and a chocolate sprinkle Pandemic Donut ($2.50). The latte was one of the best that I have had recently, and the donut was the perfect size to satisfy my sweet tooth, but not leave me feeling [too] regretful afterward. $2.50 for a sweet treat at a coffee shop is a great deal! When I stopped by, Queen City Collective was closed for entry due to COVID-19, and they had a window ordering system in place. I will definitely be back in the future to try some more of their tasty coffee drinks and pandemic donuts! read more

This place knows how to make great espresso and steam milk. Baristas weight their ground coffee and make excellent microfoam for drinks. Espresso comes out with a side of water. Great decor and lots of place to sit down. The greeter remembered my name on the second visit. No other place in a mile radius can hold a candle to this experience. Highly recommended! read more

Natural light, brick walls, great floor. Sparsely decorated. Just a touch of some local artist. In the bathroom. Yeah you will notice it in their non gender-biased bathroom. So they also prefer to help out local businesses as well. The space is outfitted by a local company called LVTD in the Rino Arts District. Coffee is strong and roasted in house. Wifi? Robust! The owner Scott used to work for a big named coffee company. So he's been around the block and can talk coffee good. When we walked in what I noticed immediately was the low amount of noise. I guess it's as expected since they're about a month old. I'm no coffee drinker. Adam D is my back up for coffee tasting etc. Although non coffee drinkers rejoice! There's this drink that's in their Tea Section called the Turmeric Late. It's Golden Root original turmeric mix with milk. It's so creamy and not super sweet. With a hint of spice that's just enough to warm up your belly. I think better than a cocoa! My new fave! The turmeric is not overpowering at all! read more

It's no secret that I have an addiction that involves anything related to coffee. My favorite coffee ever is Philz Coffee in California, which has migrated to the Midwest and East Coast, and somehow managed to hop over Denver for now. So I am always trying to find a roaster that equals its awesomeness. Well, I think I just discovered it. Queen City Collective Coffee has been roasting coffee for nine years and finally opened doors to this cafe, the second location. Its bright setting is inviting and offers natural lighting throughout. The barista was super cool and makes pretty coffee drinks including my favorite, the Cortado. The coffee here is super balanced, not a hint of bitterness with an earthy flavor. The first thing that came to mind after a sip of my Cortado was "holly shit this tastes like Philz." They also serve unique drinks like the Dark Star (Nitro cold brew and Coca Cola), as well as, the Turemic Latte, for those that shake from a drop of caffeine. Its open decor, tasty coffee, and free wifi make it one of my favorites. read more

Donuts and coffee are excellent! Indoor seating is limited, but there is outdoor seating

Alfie and I came here years ago and enjoyed a very nice cappuccino and latte together and I remember loving the cute little coffee spot (of course I had forgotten the name) Well fast forward to this past weekend where we wanted a pre take the dogs to the park coffee and I knew that Pandemic donuts had moved in here so I thought we should totally go here. Well; let's talk about my surprise when we pulled up and it was actually the adorable coffee shop I have enjoyed all those years ago!!! Still super cute, great cold brew, and now DONUTS!! Talk about a win win. They also have a convient little ordering window so you can just roll up and grab and order if you are worried about COVID or just trying to be quick! Highly recommend grabbing a coffee here and also treating yourself to a donut while you're at it! read more

Queen City Collective Coffee - Coffee Roasteries Near Me - Denver, Colorado

They've got my vote for best of the best in Denver! Easily the most delicious and satisfying coffee you'll find in the state of CO. From bean to cup this crew doesn't miss a beat. Ownership is committed to cultivating quality relationships with the farmers who grow the beans. Every step of the process of their coffee is handled with great care and intention for quality. The customer experience is lovely and well done. It's simply amazing coffee from your drip to steamy espresso drink. You can find all the alternative but milks here. Queen City is changing the coffee game in Denver for the better. The bar is already rising with some excellent roasters making Denver a coffee hub in this country. No longer is the PNW leading the way in coffee. Come and see for yourself...QC is going to change your coffee drinking habits forever. read more

This was a former coffee shop that I loved to support so when QC reopened this spot, I had to check it out. It's definitely a different vibe than what was previously there which I'm not quite sure what to make of it. It bright and white set up against brick walls was a little off putting from an ambiance standpoint (read: sterile). I do love the tables and spaces they've created to work. It was fairly quite when I stopped by which I personally appreciated. Drink wise, I went with a standard drip, which was smooth and tasty, not bitter at all. I also purchased one of the breads, which I wasn't as impressed with. read more
