Viva Mexi Coffee Shop
4900 E Colfax Ave, Denver, CO
Crema's Take
“This East Colfax gem serves up authentic Mexican coffee traditions like café de olla and latte de olla with real pride, alongside warm conchas and creative specialty drinks that keep regulars coming back obsessed. The welcoming, chill atmosphere works equally well for a quick grab or a lingering meeting, and the friendly service makes you feel like family from your first visit. It's the kind of place that reminds you why specialty coffee matters—rich, intentional, and deeply rooted in the cultures and flavors its owners clearly love.”

Just stopped by with the familia for a Cafe de olla, Mexican Mocha, and conchas and everything was top notch. You can definitely tell they take pride in what they do. Coffee's were rich and conchas chewy and served warm. Not sure if they bake the conchas in house but tasted like they were straight from the panaderia. Service was great and very accommodating. We spilled some coffee and they were on it immediately. Atmosphere was great, very clean with enough seating and space. They also offer a place to support local artists and vendors. We'll be back and if you're in the area its definitely worth stopping in.
Excellent authentic espresso drinks, super friendly service, & a chill atmosphere. I'm so glad I dropped in! This is just the kind of place East Colfax needs, & yes COLFAX IS OPEN. Despite what you might hear, access is easy peasy. I hear they also have live music some nights, so I'll definitely be back
Popped in on a whim for a coffee while waiting for an appointment nearby and will DEFINITELY be back. The Latte de Olla was amazing and I haven't found one as good since leaving Texas. Dulce de Leche pastry and Guava cream cheese pastry were both absolutely delicious. Service was friendly and fast and the seating was plentiful both inside and outside. Easy parking on the side street. Great spot!!
This was my third time coming here and I’m officially obsessed! The vibe is super cool and welcoming, but the real stars are the food and service. I usually go for the latte de olla (so good!) and the molletes, absolutely bomb every time. This visit I tried the ham & cheese croissant, fully loaded, and wow… not sure what magic they put in their bread but it’s chef’s kiss. Everything feels made with so much love, and I’m pretty sure it’s family-owned, which makes it even better. Highly recommend 10/10!
Wednesday, March 19, 2025 JULIETS coffee group visited VIVA! Mexico Cafe thanks to Pat's recommendation! It was wonderful. Great Huckleberry Coffee. The toast with beans, meat (ham, steak, or chorizo) melted cheese topped with avocado, chopped tomato, and onion was delicious based on five JULIET reviews. The cafe is beautifully decorated and immaculately clean. There is plenty of seating indoors and outdoors. Street parking on Eudora. Owners: Husband and wife Elisa Garcia and Leonardo Munoz-Corona (Leo/chef). Daniel was our barista. Leo was very gracious, explained the menu items we were not familiar with, and showed us the freshly baked rolls and pastries. Highly recommend it and will be back as a regular.
