Things to Know

Crema Bodega is a specialty coffee shop with multiple Denver locations known for exceptional latte art and skilled baristas, though espresso consistency can be inconsistent.

The baristas are genuinely skilled and personable—they remember regulars by name and create impressive latte art—but the espresso quality is hit-or-miss and the shop has limited flexibility with custom orders.

  • Baristas are welcoming, skilled, and remember regular customers' names and orders
  • Excellent latte art and consistent drink quality when espresso is properly dialed in
  • Thoughtful touches like offering reusable cups to avoid disposable waste
  • Well-crafted food offerings beyond just coffee
  • Espresso can taste overly bitter and inconsistent, suggesting the machine may need professional calibration
  • Very limited flexibility with custom orders—staff refused to sell hot coffee with ice on the side for a customer to make their own iced coffee

Espresso has tasted very bitter twice now that I have tried this spot. Only saving grace the second time I visited was the house-made mocha syrup in the latte to help mask the espresso flavor. My wife got a cappuccino that was distinctly overly bitter tasting. The espresso machine likely needs to be dialed in more carefully by a pro, especially based on other reviews.. On a positive note, the baristas are welcoming and are skilled with the latte art.

Everyone who works here makes me so happy. Whenever I show up they know my order and my name. Steve is an excellent barista and so is Emma. These guys really know what they’re doing. They are a highlight of my mornings.

Anyone who rates this place badly doesn't appreciate what truly goes into a good cup of coffee. Their coffee is always consistent. The rest of their drinks as well. Don't even get me started on the food! Crafted well and always delicious! This place was here long before Rino became a stomping ground for entitled individuals with no flavor for local business.

I love the coffee shop at both locations. This morning I went to Crema Bodega in Denver Central Market. Every time I have gone, this today was no exception, I have had pleasant and enjoyable experiences. The baristas are friendly, hospitable, fast, and gifted. They’re so good at doing latte art. Crema’s one of my favorite vendors at Denver Central Market. They’re selling these cups, which I think they started doing some time after the pandemic began, so you don’t have to have drinks poured into disposable cups. Yay! And, I love supporting local businesses, and this coffee shop is one of them. I recommend going to Crema Bodega, whichever location is great.
