I would not go here again. Staff is not friendly and interested in itself. I was the only customer and even then they yelled around with my order in stead of bringing it to me. My cappuccino tasted like a caffe latte. Way too much milk. I complained and she just gave me a ‘yes this is a cappuccino’. The cinnamon role was heated and very soft. Not crispy and too hot. I would not recommend this place. For $8.64 there are way better place in Denver I hope.

The brewed coffee is boring. It could be any canned coffee from the supermarket. My wife likes her cappuccino.

Nice quiet, clean cafe. I enjoyed my iced americano with honey and cream. Friendly and efficient staff. I enjoyed the decor and the chairs are really comfortable.
