Little Owl Coffee - Populus
240 14th St, Denver, CO
Crema's Take
“Tucked into the stunning main lobby of the Populus Hotel, Little Owl Coffee combines a carbon-conscious mission with genuinely excellent espresso and pour-overs in a nature-inspired setting that feels both sophisticated and welcoming. The baristas are genuinely kind and the space strikes that rare balance between being a serious coffee destination and a comfortable spot to linger over a laptop or meet a friend. It's the kind of place where a quick coffee run turns into a lingering morning—especially with the hotel's beautiful design and thoughtful light food offerings making it feel like more than just another downtown café.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused, with a pour-over program. A slow-sit, laptop-friendly spot, good for meetings. Light food on the menu.
