Where to drink coffee from Denver's roasters

How this list was made

To drink Denver roasters' coffee at the source, go to the cafes the roasters run themselves. This guide lists every public cafe run by the Denver-area roasters we profile, grouped by neighborhood, with the street address each roaster publishes. We checked every address on September 27, 2026.

A cafe made the list if it passed three tests:

• The roaster is independent and roasts its coffee in Colorado.
• The roaster runs the cafe itself. Shops that only pour a roaster's beans are left out.
• The address is on the roaster's own locations page and the cafe is open to the public.

There is no ranking here and no scores. Every cafe below serves coffee roasted in Colorado, and the choice between them is yours. One Denver roaster we list, Wagon Coffee Roasters, sells online, by subscription and wholesale and does not describe a public cafe, so it has no entry. Hours change, so check the roaster's page before a special trip. These are local favorites we list, and a listing does not mean a roaster is part of the club.

Downtown, LoDo and RiNo

The densest cluster of roaster-run cafes sits downtown and in the River North Art District, known as RiNo.

Huckleberry Roasters: Dairy Block and Larimer Square

Huckleberry has two cafes downtown: Dairy Block at 1800 Wazee St, the address the Roast Local directory lists for the roaster, and Larimer Square at 1406 Larimer St. All eight Huckleberry cafes are listed as open daily. The Sound and Vision and Phantom Limb blends are house names worth ordering, and the shelf carries single origins such as Guatemala Atitlan Aprocafe, from the growers near Lake Atitlan Huckleberry has bought from the longest.

Queen City Collective Coffee: LoDo and Wynkoop

Queen City runs QC LoDo at 1675 Larimer St, Unit D, and QC Wynkoop at 1899 Wynkoop St, next to McGregor Square. Both sit inside office building lobbies, so they suit a meeting as much as a morning cup. The roaster started in a garage with a 1 kilo roaster, and its name comes from Denver's nickname, the Queen City of the Plains.

Novo Coffee: Glenarm Place and the Larimer Street roastery

Novo's downtown cafe is at 1600 Glenarm Pl. For the fuller visit, go to the roastery at 3008 Larimer St in RiNo, which keeps weekday daytime hours. On Fridays Novo runs roastery tours that finish with a tasting of four coffees, and it teaches public classes there on home brewing, espresso basics and milk steaming.

Blue Sparrow Coffee: Blake Street and 17th Street

Blue Sparrow started in under 500 square feet at 3070 Blake St in 2017, and that cafe still runs. Its downtown cafe at 1200 17th St comes with a blend named for the street, the 17th St. blend. The cafes borrow the look of European bistros, open early and close in the late afternoon. Order the Headliner Espresso, the house espresso behind every milk drink.

Corvus and Queen City to the north and east

Corvus has a RiNo cafe at 1580 E 39th Ave, and Queen City's QC Five Points pours at 2692 Welton St.

Capitol Hill, Congress Park and East Colfax

East of Broadway, three roasters keep neighborhood cafes.

Pablo's Coffee: three cafes, one in front of the roastery

Pablo's has poured coffee in Denver since 1995. Its cafe at 6th and Washington, 630 E 6th Ave, opened in 2001. The Capitol Hill cafe at 1300 Pennsylvania St #102 took over the old Penn Garage in 2012, a building that serviced cars for more than 70 years. The headquarters at 7701 E Colfax Ave, at Colfax and Syracuse, puts a cafe in front of the roastery and cupping lab and was open daily 7am to 2pm when we checked. Every Pablo's cafe sells freshly roasted beans to take home, including the Danger Monkey blend.

Novo Coffee: Congress Park and Cheesman Park

Novo's two neighborhood cafes are at 1200 Clayton St in Congress Park and 1700 E 6th Ave by Cheesman Park, both listed as open daily.

Huckleberry and Corvus nearby

Huckleberry's Congress Park cafe is at 801 Colorado Blvd. Corvus runs its Uptown cafe at 1557 N Logan St.

South Broadway, Baker and Santa Fe Drive

Two roasters here roast where they pour, and at Middle State you can watch it happen.

Middle State Coffee: the glass wall on Santa Fe

Middle State's flagship at 212 N Santa Fe Dr is a cafe and roastery in one converted warehouse, with a glass wall between the roasters and the seats. It was open daily 7am to 3pm when we checked. Most of the single origins carry the grower's or washing station's name, and the cafe also pours natural wine.

Corvus Coffee Roasters: the South Broadway flagship

Corvus began as a single shop at 1740 S Broadway and still runs its flagship there. Phil Goodlaxson started the company in 2010 and still owns it. The roasting happens elsewhere and is not open to visitors, so the cafe is the place to try the Reserve line and the experimental fermentation lots.

Huckleberry and Queen City in Baker

Huckleberry's Baker cafe is at 277 N Broadway. Queen City's QC Baker shares space with the Town Hall Collaborative at 525 Santa Fe Dr; Queen City opened its very first cafe in the Baker neighborhood in 2018.

Kaladi Coffee Roasters: Evans and Englewood

Kaladi's original store is at 1730 E Evans Ave in Denver. Its Roastery Cafe at 2823 S Broadway in Englewood is where it roasts, on a fluid bed air roaster, and sells coffee by the cup and by the pound.

Northwest Denver

Northwest Denver has cafes from three different roasters, which makes it a good place to compare them in one morning.

• Middle State's smaller cafe, LiddleState, is at 2622 W 32nd Ave in the Highlands, with the same pairing of coffee and pastries as the flagship.
• Queen City's QC Berkeley is at 4999 W 44th Ave.
• Huckleberry pours at 4040 Tennyson St and at 4301 Pecos St, the Pecos cafe.

Just past the city line

Several Denver roasters run cafes in the suburbs too, and Sweet Bloom roasts just west of the city in Lakewood.

Sweet Bloom's Reed Street roastery doubles as its cafe and was open Monday to Saturday mornings when we checked. Founder Andy Sprenger has won the U.S. Brewers Cup twice, so the filter coffee there is the order. The Arvada cafe carries on the Two Rivers Coffee shop that opened on that site in 2010.

Every cup at these counters pays a roaster and a barista in the metro. When the neighborhood cafe does well, the roaster behind it keeps buying green coffee and keeps its crew. That is the short case for drinking local; the long one is on why local roasters matter. If you want Colorado roasters from beyond the metro at home, the club sends a different one in every box.
