Crema Coffee House

2862 Larimer Street (Unit B), Denver, CO

Crema Coffee House is an artisanal coffee house that definitely caters to coffee snobs. However, this joint’s passion for crafting amazing coffee won’t leave you feeling intimidated! You can stop in for something quick or grab a drink and sit a while. You’ll love that this coffee shop has a little outdoor patio where you can settle in with your drink on warmer days, right in the heart of RiNo. Crema Coffee House also has a food menu that features burritos, quiche, waffle fries, and sandwiches. The portions are actually much closer to “restaurant’ portions than “coffee house” portions.

Go for a nice cold brew and a donut while you settle in to see what all the hype is about. Sit near the window and enjoy people watching between working. You’ll want to come back so you can try more pastries and their fresh coffee!

Death & Co

1280 25th Street, Denver, CO
(720) 330-2660

Situated in RiNo, Death & Co will bring you back to life with its great coffee bar. This is not your average Denver coffee joint. While it’s fine to simply come for coffee, Death & Co is actually a brunch spot that also serves cocktails. That means that your coffee can come in the form of an espresso martini called the Wizard in Black if that’s what you’re in the mood for! Overall, this is a top place for a sophisticated, elevated coffee experience. Start or end your work day here, you’re gonna love it.

Hello Darling fits the description of a “cute” coffee shop perfectly. This little gem near Confluence Park has a nice coffee selection. The café’s layout offers different seating options with different configurations that will make it easy to choose between being “open” and “private.” There’s also a wall of windows providing natural light to ensure that you don’t feel “stuffy” while getting lost in work. This is the perfect cozy spot to bring your laptop and settle in for a little while.

The Wild

1660 Wynkoop Street (Suite 100), Denver, CO

The Wild should really be called “The Refined.” The Wild is a neighborhood coffee bar, cocktail bar, and wine bar. If you prefer to sip outside, you can escape to a patio that faces Union Station. Try something different like the lavender rosemary latte- it is the epitome of flavor and sophistication. The floral notes come through with every sip.

Hudson Hill is the best coffee, beer, wine, and cocktail bar in Denver’s Capitol Hill neighborhood. This is definitely the place to go when you feel like putting on some nice clothes before heading out the door in search of a quiet place to get some work done. The ultra-sophisticated coffee menu here features cappuccinos, turmeric lattes, espressos, and cold brews. This is also one of the few coffee houses you’ll find that serves dalgona whipped coffee. This hand-beaten coffee consists of coffee powder, sugar, and hot water and is oh so good.
