The coffee itself wasn't to my taste -- very sour/acidic, so if you prefer darker, richer roasts, this may not be for you. I also found the service inflexible: I asked for an add shot, but was told they pull shots in doubles, I offered to pay for the double and suggested only pouring part of it, but was told they don't like to "waste" coffee. Unfortunately, the latte itself went unfinished. read more

Friendly, delicious and cozy, what more could you ask for?! I got a tumeric latte and the last egg and cheese sandwich! Lucky me read more

Told me to take my quiet dog outside, while allowing a woman with little barking dog to remain inside. Sad. Wierd. Won't be back.

NO WIFI ON WEEKENDS! The interior of the space was cool and there were plenty of convenient street parking spaces. I had never been before and was looking forward to trying it out while knocking out a day full of work. Unfortunately, they don't offer wifi on the weekends. I'm sure this is to deter people like me, ones hoping to coop up for the afternoon, and it worked. I left without purchasing anything in search of another coffee shop to patron where I could spend my afternoon. I'll be back to try the coffee and will update my review accordingly. read more

great new spot! plenty of seating both indoor and outdoor. lots of parking. the service is great and the coffee is better! would highly recommend this spot for both work and chats. read more

On #ThankfulThursday, I'm so glad to have Queen City Coffee keeping me fed and caffeinated during the pandemic. Got my latest box of coffee and vegetables this afternoon. It's been a godsend during the shutdown and saved me errands during a stressful time. Plus, I get delicious coffee! Highly recommended. read more

A great place to relax and get some work done! Tons of natural light and seating options. Nitro cold brew is delicious. read more

$11 for what??!! I'd never been to this place before but went in for a latte, and walked out with the smallest to-go cup I've ever seen. Might be big enough for creamer, but not if you plan on adding coffee. Not that I was asked what size I wanted (which typically assumes there's only one) but am glad I didn't ask for a large! Gentrification is a real treat ain't it read more

There is nothing I love more then a local coffee joint and this place is legit! Had a meeting and of course what better way than over coffee right? Don't get me wrong, there is a time and place for the big chains but the local joint have something over them. Friendly smiles, great convos you didn't know would happen, and much more pocket friendly prices! I asked the barista what she recommended: a brew with some almond milk with a dash of cinnamon and honey and WTHeck was that delicious on my tastebuds. Just the right amount of sweet and tasty. Can't wait to come back there..maybe I'll start hosting mortgage sessions over a cup of brew. Ohh did I mention at 3:30pm they flip to a brewery!? So coffee by morning, beer by afternoon. What's not to like! read more

// Summary Cool coffee shop with a great vibe and wonderful people. // Experience I ordered an americano as per my usual - and it tasted alright. I had a bit of their drip too, and I didn't hate it. That's saying a lot for someone who doesn't ever get anything that's batch brewed. // Service The baristas were nice and friendly. Apparently, you also get another cup of coffee with a single order? Not sure exactly what happened there, but maybe they were just being extra accommodating. // Ambiance There's some bar seating available along with several tables - park table + bench combos and the small table two-seaters. The natural aura of the building gives it a hip rustic vibe that I thought was pretty cool. // Convenience Parking is available on the streets, and seems to be all-day. I had no issues finding a spot, but I'm not entirely sure if that's the case all the time. Wifi was pretty good, as I was able to do most of my normal things. There aren't many outlets available along the wall, but if you are fortunate to snag a spot, consider yourself lucky! read more

My usual is a nitro with oatmilk and honey. Their coffee is THE best. I haven't had hot beverages yet as I'm obsessed with their iced drinks. Love the walk up window and the staff are always so pleasant to deal with. Love this place. Perfect for dog owners. I also just tried a dirty chai iced with oatmilk. Elite Super chill and low key vibes. My favorite for sure. read more

Great place Very nice people working here I Always have an espresso, a chai and stare at the donuts New spot for them, interesting space where I can catch up on some paperwork. I will highly recommend this place to everyone read more

I stumbled upon this little cafe tucked away in a neighborhood and got a great cup of nitro cold brew. It's a little are to find and if you blink you'll pass it. Parking is on the street and you're competing with residents so it might take a few lots before finding a spot. When you walk in the counter is right there! It's super quiet and very hipster, more than any place I've been in Denver...lots of man buns. Everyone looked up and most smiled so it was a welcoming place to walk into. The baristas were very nice and cheerful. They have a great selection and are quick to get you your caffeine. They answered all my questions and thanked me for bringing in my own to go cup. The coffee itself was great and I'd like to go back and try something else in the menu. read more

Absolutely LOVE this coffee spot. Locally owned and operated I was able to meet Scott and Luke the brothers and owners of the shop. I was really impressed by the relationships they have with their suppliers and how hard they work to make sure their stores and employees are set up for success. Super friendly staff, delicious coffee, I tried the "death star" I think with Cola and coffee and it was surprisingly delicious haha. Thanks so much QC, cant wait to come back soon with the wife and fam. read more

I need to make a complaint. The staff is super friendly, the coffee is great, and the place is cute and all, there's just an issue with the music... I had so much fun jamming out to all my old favorites that I got absolutely nothing done!! In all seriousness though, this place is the perfect little neighborhood find :) read more

Turmeric latte was so overpowering with the spice that I couldn't taste even a hint of any other flavors. No wifi on the weekends is an unfortunate choice but that's what they want to do so I get it. It was a cute place that I'd like to work at in the future but probably won't go back due to the following interaction. The worst part was the brewery guys clearly trying to restrict and push out the coffee customers around 11:30/12 on a Sunday. I moved to sit at a table by an outlet because other tables by outlets were taken. I was in a party of two and the sign on the table said for party of 6 or more. There was a party of 3 at a table with the same sign so I thought it was fine. The place was also pretty empty. I'd move if a big group came in. Brewery Bro came over to tell me I can't sit there because I need to leave room for brewery customers. The whole place was ~20% full, no new customers coming in, and all current customers working on laptops (by outlets) or chatting over coffee. Nobody was there for the brewery. Between the bad latte, no wifi, & rude brewery guy (who I have since learned is Tamir), I left. Probably won't go back honestly. read more

You want the best coffee Denver has to offer--? Look no further than this gem, Queen City Collective Coffee. From bean to cup you will not find a more dedicated and thoughtful crew sourcing the worlds greatest beans. Their craft is on another level than most coffee roasters. It's pretty much as good as you'll find anywhere in Denver. So it's worth the time to seek this spot out. The space is super chill and offers plenty of work or meeting space. Lots of good vibes to match the excellent coffee. Options for alt milks are readily available. And ask your barista about different roasts, drinks, and even who the farmer was who grew the bean. They'll know the whole story! If you want legit coffee this will be your go to! read more

The Queen City crew, product, location, and community is the best in Denver. Almost every morning starts with a walk to the shop: I love to bring my pup, order from the walk up window, and relax and sip on the patio. My coffee enthusiast girlfriend (read: coffee snob) is head over heels for their beans. I am a tea drinker so I go for their London Fog (earl grey, steamed whole milk, vanilla). I've all but stopped going to other neighborhood shops because Queen City puts so much care into my little tea latte. They actually steep my tea before adding in the milk and vanilla so I have a delicious drink, not tea flavored vanilla milk. Matt, Sam, and Scott are really cool guys, it's a treat to start my mornings with a drink made by them. I'm so glad Queen City came to Baker! read more

Stopped by a couple of times for coffee recently while visiting Denver. The coffee is extremely tasty!

Keep getting watery americanos :( Sucks cause the quality of the coffee beans is amazing. #1 in Denver for the coffee beans Wish the baristas could make an iced americano read more

Hello Queen City and welcome! I took a Sunday morning for myself and strolled into the Baker neighborhood when I heard that they had opened. Tucked neatly and beautifully on the corner, the neighborhood is always beautiful to pass through and now has bomb coffee too! There is lots of space to sit and coffee/beer bar seating. I opted for the oat milk latte, iced, and sipped on it while getting some work done on my laptop. It's already got that neighborhood feel as local residents stroll in with their pups and families. They have a small pastry case serving up treats like croissants and quiche. They don't have anything to heat up breakfast but that's a-ok. These pastries are made to be served at room temperature. Apparently they serve beer too, I'm just not sure what time. I meant to ask the barista about it but they were incredibly busy. Parking can be tricky but I recommend you take advantage of these summer days and bike or walk over. read more

The coffee is normal. Service is meh, very few food items, nothing gluten free. It's a cute shop though. I honestly can't believe this is one of the top 10 coffee shops in Denver. I came in with high expectations because of that. read more

Exceptional! Haven't had a latte in a long time that has made me say that. I wonder what their beer tastes like. I'm not a big beer drinker but I'm sure I will try theirs. Thanks for making life grand! read more

If you judge a place by how happy the staff seem to be, Queen City gets the highest marks. Staff are warm and friendly, getting names and remembering orders of regulars. Usually some good downtempo music playing. The indoor seating is pretty bland (metal chairs, generic tables etc) but what they lack in comfort they make up for in other ways. Coffee is always excellent and made to order. Get an espresso shot and it'll come with a free Topo Chico sidecar. Not a great place for food, but that's probably not why you're there. read more

Probably the nicest baristas I've encountered in Denver! Just over the top kind. Their coffee was excellent too! Highly recommended

Cute and calm corner location in Baker neighborhood. The space has room to think. Outside seats in dappled sunshine and a walk up window too. They play GD and other wonderful music. They remembered my name on my third ever visit :D Oh and the espresso drinks are perfect. read more

At 1:30 on Wednesday, February 1, 2023, the girl who took my order was a complete jerk. She not only asked me to wait outside because of my service dog without ever asking if he was a service dog. She was also extremely rude and provided absolutely no customer service. that will be the last time I ever visit this place and I was so looking forward to going in there. I'll be sure to spread the word. read more

This place has to have the friendliest staff of any coffee shop I've ever visited. I'm not a coffee snob, but I do tend to be a coffee shop snob because it really bothers me when employees treat me like I'm bothering them. Queen City's customer service is hands down top notch! read more

I'm gonna go ahead and give them a 5-star rating. The staff were very nice and friendly and unlike most cafes in Denver they actually take pride in serving high quality coffee. I was a coffee snob for a long time, but I had given up on finding high quality coffee until I found this place! I gotta say it's not the only place with high quality coffee in Denver, but it's definitely one of the few ones! P.S: you get 25 cents off when you take your own cup! P.S.S: please take your own cup and reduce the waste! :) read more

Be advised, the picnic benches outside are for brewery customers only. We were rudely shooed away when trying to drink the coffee we had just purchased inside. We were the only patrons outside at the time. We weren't taking anyone else's spot. Maybe rename the place : B Rude Coffee. But hey, I'm not bitter. read more

A little Portlandia right here in Baker... Sustainable practices = cool. Stepping onto your soapbox how your tea is sustainably sourced from ethically treated farmers where then the tea is shuttled through a Chicago based enterprise (how long is this farm to mug chain?) all before saying you have black, green, and oolong hot tea... when I merely asked what kind of tea you have = pretentious. Queen City is so hipster it hurts (all the dirty blond man buns!), expensive, and the music is so loud I am looking around at those at their laptops and cannot fathom they are doing any sort of truly cerebral, conceptual work - even with headphones/earbuds, you can't not clearly hear the lyrics. Atmosphere reminds me of a mini-Thump Coffee on 13th so if that's your jam, you'll like Queen City. The barista is friendly and cleared tables during down times which was kind of him, but he also greeted everyone with a "hi friend", which I always feel a bit conflicted with when it's directed towards strangers - while said person could be a *future* friend, a stranger ordering coffee is not actually a friend and therefore I wouldn't call them such.. but that's getting into the weeds. There's a small, sunny patio, lots of tables to work at, plenty of outlets, and a couple mid-century couches for chatting. I respect independent businesses and their sustainable orientation but just know what you're getting into before setting out. read more

Great ambiance, location, and service. Delicious expression and local Pandemic Donuts. Especially recommend their cortado. No WiFi on weekends, which keeps things moving and allows for plenty of seating. Chill and spacious. Walk up window if you're just stopping through (esp. with a doggo). read more

Super cute coffee shop and brewery. It's a little on the expensive end for coffee shops. The pastry selection is somewhat small but they look delicious! The barista was super friendly. I love the coffee shop/brewery concept. I'm always excited to support unique little neighborhood businesses. read more

I tried to walk in to sit inside the cafe and the two gentleman behind the counter told me they don't allow service animals inside, which is illegal. Check the laws and maybe be more considerate to people with disabilities. read more

This is my fav spot when I'm working in Denver. Even if I'm not that close I'll go out of my way to get coffee here. The coffee is delicious. The staff is friendly and have such great energy. I wish I lived nearby cause I would give them all my money :) read more

Everyone at Queen City on 1st is always SO friendly. Their coffee is our favorite and literally every single staff member treats us kindly when we go in there. We've tried other coffee shops in the area and no one compares - in both hospitality and in coffee. We really love them. read more

Visiting Denver from SF and the land of Ritual, Sightglass, Verve, Andytown, etc. While trying out all the local Denver roasters, I found Queen City-- they do not disappoint. In my 1-week stay, they're the only ones who earned a repeat visit. Friendly and knowledgeable folks (owners?) happy to serve up some delicious coffee and tell you about it. I was pleased with my latte (1st visit) and dared to try their drip (2nd visit), and they were spot on! I'm even bringing home a bag of their freshly roasted Colombian-Ethiopian double origin beans. read more

Stopped here while staying an Airbnb in the neighborhood to grab coffee and a pastry. The guys at the front were super welcoming!

Great hang out spot! Love the staff, they're all super cool and friendly. The coffee and snacks are great too

Super friendly dudes working at Queen City Collective Coffee. I'm not from Denver so one of the guys gave me some suggestions for the city and I talked sports with another one of the guys for a while. Coffee was great and reasonably priced (especially with the Yelp check in offer)! read more
