to coffee or not to coffee
Parlor Doughnuts, Wash Park
These are my NEW FAVORITE DOUGHNUTS IN ALL OF DENVER. I’m sorry, other donuts.
Covid Resolutions & Corvus Coffee, Littleton
Now, don’t get me wrong. I do not love coffee. At least, not yet in its purest form. But over the years, I believe I have come to appreciate what it represents, what place it holds in the hearts of many, and often, what differentiates the good from the bad and the ugly.
Crave, Dessert Bar and Lounge - Downtown
I immediately regretted ordering the coffee last. Having tried the sweetened latte and sugar-indulgent dessert first, I could not fairly judge the flavors of NOVO’s San Sebastian blend.
The Press Coffee Company, Belmar
The first thing I saw was a large pig depicted in chalk upon the wall.
Frankie’s Coffee, Fort Morgan
The quaint farm town of Fort Morgan is home to a little place called Frankie’s Coffee, just off of the main drag.
Solid Grounds, Littleton
As far as I know, Solid Grounds is the first coffee shop I have visited that brews Kaladi Brothers coffee.
La Patisserie Francaise, Arvada
I was on a mission. A coffee mission, of course!
Stella’s, Old South Pearl
It seems everyone knows more about coffee than I do. However, his post made me hesitate. Perhaps this whole flavor thing was a bit more than I can really explore in one blog post.
The Cheesecake Factory, Park Meadows
As my first experience with restaurant coffee, it seemed like an appropriate choice. I’ve tried to avoid restaurant coffee and chain stores, simply because it seems almost irreverent to the coffee quest.
Crowfoot Valley Coffee, Castle Rock
I think it is worth mentioning that I find myself becoming more of an expert on coffee-type things than those who enjoy it regularly.
Fireside Books & Coffee, Englewood
When I stepped inside the doors for the first time, I found myself falling for the place almost immediately.
Higher Grounds Café, Golden
When I had asked about specialty drinks, the barista said something vague about being able to make any flavor I wanted.
Take Me to Your Leader
Starbucks is taking over the world.
Red Frog Coffee, Longmont
“So far, everyone that tries it loves it.”
Java Mountain Roasters, Idaho Springs
A latte is milk only – with no foam on purpose, but a cappuccino has foam. A machiatto is a cappuccino with half the foam. I truly did not know the difference.
So It Began...
To be fair, I must give Starbucks their due credit. They make the most incredible Hot Chocolate in the world.
Forza Coffee Company, Westminster
The key is to look for tiger striping: lines between the light colored top layer and the dark bottom layer, which you can see through the side of the glass.
Beantree Coffee, Aurora
The roast was not necessarily burnt, but definitely charred around the edges.
Hide and Seek and Seek and Seek
I do not even know how much time I have spent looking for coffee establishments. In all honesty, it probably isn’t a whole lot of time, but the frustration of wandering in futility makes it seem like eons.
Aviano, Cherry Creek
After a few sips, I decided it was enough experience. It was time to try cream.
