crema

thisplaceis truly excellent! i'm not much of a coffee person, though my wife enjoyed her caramel latte, but our food was outstanding. we shared the sweet potato waffle and the veggie quiche (with perfectly dressed simple greens). there is plenty of "help yourself" seating. next time we go (which will be soon) we will try the croissants and the granola bars, because they looked delicious!

theplacehas a great vibe and good coffee. the staff are always friendly and it's hard to beat for people watching.

there is no ac and it does get muggy. my biggest, and only real complaint though, is the flies that are always present. big, mean nasty ones. flying at your face while trying to enjoy a coffee.

it's a testament to theplacethat i do still go out of my way to come here several times a week. flies and all.

the kind of coffee house where you want to be a regular. visting denver for only a few days, but thisplaceis a find. it has that cool locals-know-about-it vibe, great coffee and food, and a great staff. a must try for those trying to avoid the coffee shop chains

only one thing i can say: autentico cappuccino italiano. this coffeehouse, located in what appears to be a sketchy neighborhood, was excellent! i had been scouring the whole country for a cappuccino as good as the one i had at bianco latte in milan and my search ended today. smooth, velvety, fruity and ever so slightly acidic. if you're in denver, check thisplaceout! and while you're at it, order the brûléed grapefruit! delish!

this cool little coffee shop is located in an up and coming neighborhood in northwest denver. surrounded by warehouses and industrial style buildings it stands out as aplaceto stop in. so we did. at the counter i was greeted by a barista and possibly the owner (not 100% sure). after asking a few questions about coffee i put in an order and then had my card swiped by a tablet that can text or email you a receipt (love it). they do have a breakfast and lunch menu with some interesting items including a pork belly bahn mi (vietnamese sandwich) that was as good as it sounded. although i was here on a mission to drink an insane amount of coffee i was delighted to have something so good enter the belly.

mmm. delicious coffee that actually has flavor. all of the food that came out of the kitchen looked incredible. the atmosphere was pretty laid back and people were there to socialize as well as get work done. smallplaceand was quite warm inside, so i'm looking forward to trying it again in the fall.

yummm!. crema rocks. theplaceis totally cool-looking, with a funky inner-city vibe -- cool music, decor, and tatted kids with grommets in their super-sized ear lobes.

the coffee's super, too. anyone who serves nova knows what they're doing when it comes to coffee. the barristas really know and care about what they're serving, and they'll go into passionate explanation to teach customers. 'love their passion, and each cofffee feels like a work of art.

my only gripe is that on a hot summer day, theplacefeels like it's on the hinges of hell - western sun beats it up, and the swamp inadequately pumps air that wets theplaceup but doesn't cool. i had a business meeting there recently, and by the time we were done, we were all dripping. maybe a steaming mug of coffee on a day like that isn't a good day anyway. i also wish they'd serve more/bettter accompaniements llike good muffins, sweet rolls, etc. surely there's a bakery nearby that can stock them up.

no matter -- i'm a regular. i'll just make sure i'm there on cooler days.

for our second day in denver, we decided to take in some nature, so we headed down to colorado springs to check out garden of the gods. insert gratuitous nature shot here!!! thisplaceis free, yo. and stunning. i
