Best coffee in Denver, CO
The best coffee in Denver, CO isn't a chain. It's the small USA café where the barista dials in espresso every morning, the roastery that names the farm on the bag, the brew bar that takes its filter program as seriously as its espresso. Roasters maps 68 of them — every café and roaster in Denver, CO that meets the specialty bar, curated by the people who actually drink there.
What to look for: a short menu, light-roasted single-origin beans, a real grinder behind the bar (Mahlkönig, Mythos, EK43), and someone who can tell you the origin and process of what you're drinking.
