Crema's Take
“Just a few gentle blocks from Wash Park, this old-school neighborhood gem serves consistently excellent lattes (try the honey cinnamon) alongside some of Denver's best breakfast burritos at fair prices. The walk-up window service is quick and friendly, with staff who genuinely seem happy to help, making it equally perfect for a five-minute coffee grab or a lingering morning meeting. Their simple approach to coffee and fresh pastries feels refreshingly unpretentious in the best way—no fussy customizations needed, just smooth, flavorful drinks and the kind of place where regulars are treated like neighbors.”

Great, old school, neighborhood coffee shop. A gentle few blocks from Wash Park, their coffee ranges from Starbucks style (add this, remove that, soy, vegan, latte) options to my preferred, simple cup of Joe (black filter coffee) :-) Their breakfast burrito was amazing and fresh (albeit a bit small, but the price was also size adjusted). The vibe inside and outside was perfect.
First the breakfast burrito is one of my favorites in denver and very fairly priced… next the employees are so friendly and nice. John saw me on a meeting and decided to ask if he could help me out rather than waiting in line. He walked the burrito over to me as well. Will continue coming back here.
I don't know about other coffee choices but I always order the hot latte with honey and it's consistently good. I do wish they had a larger size for sure. I also tried the cherry Danish which was good but a little dry. The chorizo breakfast burrito was also good but I wished it were warmed up differently so one side of it wasn't 'toasty' - maybe turn it often or use a toaster oven? There's no indoor seating (since COVID) which makes it a to-go order unless it's a nice day.
This is a good neighborhood coffee place. The latte was smooth and flavorful and the almond croissant was good. They had other pastries and some breakfast options. Service is via a walk up window and was fast and friendly. There is seating inside, but you still need to order outside. There are a lot of pleasant shaded outside seats as well. They do have password protected Wi-Fi available for guests. Most of the people using it were inside while a lot of people with dogs were outside. Parking is on street in the neighborhood and may be difficult to find at times.
Such a lovely coffee shop! I ordered the honey cinnamon latte which was very smooth and flavorful, yet not too sweet. Ordering at the counter outside was very fast and easy and they had plenty of seating inside and outside. Highly recommend!
