"Quince Essential Coffee House, a little escape off East Colfax, is a literal home-away-from-home for its neighbors. Occupying an old house on a residential street, it’s a multi-room trove of quaint and colorful charms, cluttered just so with local paintings, knickknacks, board games, and potted plants. The front porch is ringed with tables for basking in the sunshine; the backyard beckons with seating, a hammock, and a fenced-in coop where ducks and chickens roost. Some coffee shops are all about the art of the roast; Quince Essential is all about heart." - Ruth Tobias
