Crema's Take

“This student-run operation inside the Mines library punches way above its weight with genuinely excellent espresso at prices that make Starbucks look ridiculous, plus tips directly support the student baristas running the show. The cramped quarters and campus crowd mean it's built for quick caffeine fixes and study sessions rather than leisurely work, but if you're in Golden and want real coffee that actually tastes like coffee, this is your spot.”

What to expect

Espresso-focused. A quick-grab, outdoor seating spot, good for meetings. Wifi.

Looks like a great option for students. Pretty limited seating in the actual coffee shop portion. And definitely college campus vibes. Would not recommend for remote work, but great for studying.

Best coffee shop on campus at Mines! Just inside the library on the right. This coffee shop has all the typical coffee options plus a limited snack selection. Staff are friendly and the coffee is much better than other campus options.

If you're looking for real coffee, instead of a cup of milk with burnt expresso, this is the place to go. While busy and crowded during certain parts of the day, between classes and in the evenings service is pretty quick.

Best coffee shop on campus. All student run, with amazing coffee. Prices are half of what Starbucks offers, and tips go towards students.
