Cafes near Denver

Less trendy than City, O’ City, less packed than Stella’s, Hooked on Colfax has a quiet appeal all its own.

Small, interconnected rooms and a large front patio keep Stella’s from feeling like a large coffee shop while still allowing plenty of room for people to sip, read, study and chat.

The trendy, modern vibe that Uptown’s Fluid exudes proves to be nearly as addictive as its caffeine.

It’s a coffee shop, but Illegal Grounds appeals just to adults. Maybe it’s because once you know there’s a working attorney’s office upstairs, you worry about making too much noise.

You will rarely find Highland Square’s Common Grounds anywhere close to empty, but there is always plenty of space even on busy days.
