I wish I could give them a 6 star review. I have been going here at least once a week for the last month. Here’s everything you need to know: Price: $ - super reasonable and affordable. Great quality for a great price. Everything has a great portion size for the cost. Atmosphere: Anyone can come here. It is the perfect spot for people to socialize or get their homework done. Staff/ownership: every single employee here is super nice and cool. They are all very good at their job and you can tell they enjoy being there. They always have a smile on their face. Events/Weekends: I’ve been here when theres movies being played, thrift store pop-ups, and clubs meeting. Overall: this is always my first recommendation when someone asks me where to go in denver. Vegetarian take: the options here for vegetarians is endless. You can tell they want everyone to have a great meal.

Just the kind of breakfast spot I needed to begin my day in the Mile High City. Okay listen my breakfast was tasty and my latte was awesome too. BUT the star of my meal was this fruit tart THE BEST FRUIT TART I HAVE EVER HAD the pastry was sooooo fresh the fruit sooooo fresh. I may fly back there just for a dozen of the tarts. But yes my breakfast was really good so 100% try them out for the food & cafe aspect too

Came in for a drink and work session. The space is much bigger than it appears from the front. There’s also a handy connection to the donut shop next door. Juice was reasonably priced but the guest wifi (no password) was slow. Staff and vibe seemed slightly too cool for school, but the overall concept of coffee, bar and restaurant makes me curious to come back and see what it’s like at night.

Absolutely delicious food! My friend ordered the Chicken and Waffles which was delectable. My meal was the Smash Tot Hash (with brisket) and it was SMASHING. I also ordered a Cold War because I wanted coffee but I also wanted a drink and got the best of both worlds!

When my wife and I saw that this place catered to people with food allergies, we knew that we had to try it. The staff was passionate about the business and willing to go above and beyond to help us. They normally serve their GF chicken and waffles during weekend brunch, but they made a custom dish for me on a Tuesday morning. They also used their gluten free bread to make French toast for my wife.

Carbon cafe and bar is one of my favorite brunch spots in Denver. Great for coming to hang and do work in a comfy/cozy/hip environment. Even better place to enjoy some delicious food with both indoor and outdoor seating. The coffee here is really great. All different kinds of lattes and cold brews with CBD options. I love the CBD cold brew. Happy hour from 3pm-6pm is $5 wine by the glass and $20 wine bottles. $5 well spirits. The Wu Tang Loaded Tots are a must. I love the breakfast bowl and the MC Habit breakfast sandwich. The employees here lovely. Emily and Sam are terrific. And after earting or just hanging out, stop by the doughnut dispensary for a little heavenly treat!

Excellent coffee and food! I dropped in for some quick breakie on a Sunday morning and ordered an iced Americano and a Chorizo Smothered Burrito (scrambled eggs, chorizo, cheddar cheese, Wu-Tang tots, flour tortilla, green chile, $14.50). The coffee was fantatsic. Flavorful, fresh and sharp. Also the fragrance was delightful, nothing better to smell in the morning. The burrito was scrumptious. I appreciate any restaurant that isn’t greedy with the goods. The burrito was stuffed with chorizo and Carbon’s signature “Wu-Tang tots” which I tried on a different occasion to Carbon and they are phenomenal. 10/10!

The coffee was amazing, hand-held cream, fresh nutmeg on top, to DIE for! Donuts were delish and I can't wait to stop in again. Bartenders were fun and chatty! Mid-afternoon on a Thurs parking was ample!
