Crema's Take
“Higher Grounds pulls off that rare combination of genuinely excellent espresso and a lineup of creative specialty drinks—their Mexican coffee with proper restraint is worth seeking out—all served by staff who actually listen to what you want. The space itself is a draw too, with plenty of plants and seating that makes lingering over work or with friends feel natural rather than rushed. If you're in Golden and want a coffee shop that takes the craft seriously without the pretension, this hits the mark.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused. A slow-sit, outdoor seating spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu. Family friendly. Wifi. Parking available.

Beautiful little café with lots of character. Great selection of coffee, tea, and other drinks — I especially loved the espresso. Pastries and other sweet treats are available as well. Definitely worth a stop!
Super interactive and friendly staff. Good Coffee and food. We grabbed a burrito and lemon poppy bread. Well priced and super fast service. Will return when we are in the area.
Such a cute local coffee shop! I had one of the Valentine’s Day specials, and it was made perfectly. The staff is also super friendly! I will definitely be back to try more delicious treats.
We regularly stop here for coffee when in Golden- they have had some AMAZING seasonal coffee selections! The staff are always friendly. I've never popped in to do work (we always come on weekends) but it looks like such a cozy place to do that.
