    A local gem that provides a welcoming homey atmosphere with good pastries and coffee. Love all the art and plants around the cafe. Service was super nice as well. I ordered a pumpkin iced latte and a cheese danish. It was delicious!

    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!

    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!

    Local hidden cafe in the Whittier neighborhood . Lots Available street parking . Nice patio seating & a dog friendly designated section . Quaint cafe offering coffee, sandwiches, salads & icecream . I tried a Snickers iced latte . Coffee was great & made just as i asked . Friendly service with a smile is a plus also !!

    Cute , small , quiet , local business. Came in for a large iced SF vanilla latte b4 work 7$. Gal was fast and kind . Coffee is a 7/10 for me because I like mine on the sweeter side but that's a personal preference. Will just ask for more syrup next time . Cute - great local stop

    A great spot for a coffee and breakfast with friends! We loved the vibe and outdoor seating. I had a golden milk latte that was so good, really rich earthy flavor. My sisters got burritos that were perfect. The staff were friendly and the service was quick.

    Drip coffee, Americano with almond milk, blueberry lemon loaf

    There was a calming vibe here. We got a regular drip with cream, an Americano with almond milk, a blueberry lemon loaf, and a spinach burrito. Everything was so good. The coffee was smooth. A nice place to start your morning or to stop in for brunch. Very inviting.

    Stopped by to meet a friend here and was pleasantly surprised at how lovely this coffee shop is! It's cozy and welcoming. The patio is glorious! The service and coffee were good! A great spot to get some work done, relax or enjoy a book!

    Attentive service, pretty clean, and can be quiet throughout the day but also has consistent customers! spicy but good burrito and the tea was good! Wi-Fi was strong and fast!

    A wonderful Neighborhood Place to relax and share time with friends and community. Love the coffee selection. And I especially love the owners!

    Breakfast burrito

    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).

    3-star might justify based on everything I experienced at this coffee shop today…read more Its inconspicuous existence (especially the secondary door that is facing Larimer) is quite intriguing. Utilizing the existing brick walls, the interior layout is creative with all sorts of art. Their location is their luckiest part as it consistently draws steady footprints. It thus gets packed in a few seconds. It offers (firstly) coffee based drinks. It does have a kitchen where they make more than just pastries and the like. It's definitely more than a simple coffee shop for sure. Service, however, was quite basic. The lady upfront smiled but hesitantly. She wasn't rude but I simply didn't feel welcome. Hence describing their current customer service system or skills as "good" might fuel their egos (wow, did I really say that?? LOL!!) My quad latte was decent/good. I could have done less espresso shots as it sure was strong or too strong (this wasn't their fault; it was mine.) Yes, in conclusion, the shop can and should refine its service (upping it one more level might draw solid raves from the people). Well. I'm not that distraught by any means so in due time, I might utilize them in the future.

It was packed, every table, but one was full, and we were lucky enough to snag that. Even with a full house, the place was very quiet, people respected the "wfh coffee shop" culture, and did not seem to be talking loudly or taking meetings. The drinks were great, not too fancy, but my Matcha was yummy. We also tried a gluten-free zucchini bread and a lemon pound cake which really hit the spot. Prices are pretty fair, and I had no issue finding street parking even on Broadway, although I had a busier time of day, I can imagine it might be more difficult. I love that this place was open later and I would definitely come back I know people have different remarks about the Wi-Fi, the staff gave us extra Wi-Fi codes in case we ran out, yes, there is a timer and you have to make a purchase, but they are very chill about it and will give you a new code if you run out

It's also open until midnight so you have a place to go to chill late at night if you're in the area
