⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Sweet Gem on 16th Street! I had such a wonderful experience at this charming bakery and coffee shop right on 16th Street! From the moment we walked in, I and my significant other ( who doesn't drink coffee!), we were greeted with warm smiles and such a welcoming, friendly atmosphere. The team is truly attentive, kind, and happy to help with recommendations. I ordered an iced coffee, a coffee cake, while my man treated himself to another dessert — and wow, everything was absolutely delicious. The iced coffee was perfectly balanced and refreshing. The coffee cake was flavorful, warm, and had just the right amount of sweetness. The extra dessert we tried was equally impressive — beautifully made and clearly crafted with care. One of my favorite parts of the visit was the street seating outside. Sitting out there and enjoying the energy of the very active 16th Street, made the whole experience even better. It’s the perfect spot to relax, people-watch, and soak in the vibrant city vibe while enjoying amazing treats. If you’re looking for a cozy spot with delicious baked goods, great coffee, and genuinely kind staff, this is definitely the place to go.

We came to this cozy cafe for breakfast during our Valentine’s weekend trip to Denver. The staffs are nice and friendly. We enjoyed our coffee and pastries at a cozy corner by the fireplace. So glad we decided to forgo the cafe right by our hotel and took a short walk to Little Finch!

The vibe was fun and the service was nice. However, my Asian salad sadly did not taste fresh at all, and I found the notice for us to bus the dishes ourselves into the right trays kind of off putting. I did really like my coffee though. I would say this could be 4-5 stars with fresher food and a better bussing policy. EDIT: Changing to 3 stars in light of owner reply. Thank you!
