Coffee in Aurora

Aurora coffee roasters are small and spread out, and the city has a bigger place in Colorado coffee than their size suggests. The first Colorado Coffee Show was held here in September 2024, and Legends Coffee, a coffee shop, started at the Southlands Farmers Market with the aim of bringing specialty coffee to Aurora. Our club ships coffee from a different independent Colorado roaster in each box.

Aurora's coffee story

On September 14, 2024, the Gaylord Rockies Convention Center in Aurora hosted the inaugural Colorado Coffee Show, a day of workshops and competitions for the state's roasters and cafes.

Legends Coffee began a decade earlier and much smaller. It started at the Southlands Farmers Market in 2014, and its founders' stated aim was to bring specialty coffee to Aurora. Its own site describes a coffee shop and does not say it roasts, so we do not list it as a roaster.

Aurora also shows how directory listings can mislead. Roast Local files DAZBOG Coffee under Aurora, but DAZBOG's own About page says it roasts daily at 1090 Yuma Street in Denver. Brothers Tony and Leo Yuffa opened it in 1996.

The US Census Bureau's July 2025 estimate puts Aurora at 410,053 people, one of the largest cities in the state. A bag bought from Jubilee, Glissade or Lost Coffee keeps that money with a roaster on this side of the metro, paying people who live here. Our case for it is on why local roasters matter.

Roasters in and near Aurora

Roast Local lists these roasters in Aurora:

  • Legends Coffee, a Southlands Farmers Market original. Its own site shows a coffee shop and does not say it roasts.
  • Glissade Coffee, whose shop on Galena Street is open every day.
  • Jubilee Roasting Co., which roasts and pours in an old North Aurora warehouse.
  • Logan House Coffee.
  • Lost Coffee.
  • DAZBOG Coffee, filed under Aurora but roasting in Denver.

Two Denver roasters we profiled in depth reach into Aurora or sit right beside it:

  • Queen City Collective Coffee runs a cafe in Aurora at the Broadleaf Apartments, 1380 North Uvalda Street. It buys through direct relationships with producers and visits farms during harvest.
  • Pablo's Coffee roasts at its East Colfax headquarters, where a cafe in front of the roastery is open daily from 7am to 2pm. Pablo's says it routinely pays 50 to 100 percent more per pound for green coffee than the average Fair Trade rate.

What those two roast, checked 2026-09-27: Queen City's lineup includes Belafonte, a double origin blend, Bottle Rocket, a dark roast, and Day Drinker, a half caff. Pablo's signature blend is Danger Monkey, and its Little Jem blend is built for espresso and cold brew. The rest of the Denver roasters are on our Denver page.

How we chose these roasters

Every roaster here roasts in Colorado and was operating when we read its own site, on the date its card shows (the list itself was last checked 2026-09-27). Facts come from each roaster's own pages, written in our words; we take nothing from reviews and show no ratings. No roaster pays to be listed, and a listing does not mean the roaster is part of the club. Run a roaster here and something is off? Email coffee@fourteenercoffeeclub.com and we correct or remove the page.
