Awesome rooftop location to relax with a snack or beverage after enjoying the museum exhibits downstairs. Great views of the surrounding area and relaxing private rooftop bar to enjoy a cold beverage.

Most underrated place for a cup of coffee or a drink in the afternoon. GREAT rooftop with fun seasonal drinks and coffee. The area is such a nice hang. A hidden gem in the area and I love stopping here. I sometimes go to this museum just for the cafe.

Pretty good coffee in this shop at the museum. It was pretty crowded when I went and the menu is limited, but they had some vegan options, which was nice to see.

I come to this gallery regularly; it’s a well curated and accessible place. They offer penny admission for denver residents on the first Saturday of every month, and host fun parties and events. The cafe is nice for a rooftop drink in the afternoons.
