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.

Great service, coffee, and an extremely cute little shop. Lots of space to sit, plants, drink options, and food options for breakfast and lunch. I will be frequenting this spot while I'm working out of Golden this summer!

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.
