Amethyst Coffee- Lakeside

Copy Link

Like its sister location on Broadway, the Lakeside outpost of Amethyst is light, airy, and welcoming, bringing its unique style to North Denver. Woman-owned and with a proud policy of tolerance and inclusion, this second location brings the same creative drinks (think matcha lattes and sweet potato marshmallow steamers) with the exception of pour-overs and alcoholic beverages. Pastries come from Rebel Bread.

From Commonwealth Roasters comes Caffe Figurati, which roughly translates to “don’t worry about it.” Roasting beans onsite at the Source, it features both a traditional Italian espresso bar and pour-over coffee drinks made in the Japanese style.

Method Collective

Method has been roasting beans since 2013, supplying more than 40 businesses in the state and operating a cafe at the University of Colorado Boulder. But it also just opened a coffee shop, Method Collective, in LoHi, with a menu of cortados, lattes, cappuccinos, pour-overs, and flavored syrups made onsite. The community-focused vibe is nice, too.

Sapor Coffee & Concepts

Copy Link

The industrial-chic Sapor Coffee & Concepts manages to be both sleek and welcoming, with white walls and lots of light from the garage-door windows that line one side of it. Caleb and Jeannie Sprenger began with a Kickstarter and use local Lakewood roaster Sweet Bloom — which happens to be owned by Caleb’s uncle. See the standard coffee fare plus chai, matcha, golden milk lattes, Upstart kombucha, and a rotating selection of pastries.

Pablo’s new HQ on Colfax boasts 6,000 square feet and a spacious, airy coffee shop, roastery, training and cupping lab (for classes for both staff and the public), and office space. It’s the only Pablo’s location with Wi-Fi, but like the others, it offers a full menu of coffee drinks and pastries.

Little Lula Rose

Copy Link

Little Lula Rose is just down the street from sister cafe Lula Rose General Store and is really more of a floral shop offering arranging workshops. But it also makes a short, basic menu of mean espresso drinks served out of the front window. Baristas use Middle State Coffee and invite passersby to come check out the plants and floral arrangements.

Jubilee Roasting Co.

Copy Link

Jubilee Roasting Co. is based on the ideas of emancipation, restoration, and celebration, or as they describe it, “a reset button for society.” The warehouse that houses the coffee shop also hosts ten artists’ studios, retail space, and a roasting facility. The airy warehouse’s remodel was partly funded by the city with an interest in community outreach — which they celebrate monthly at their Day of Jubilee, with live music, free drinks, and grilling.
