Good coffee and pastries and very good service. The breakfast sandwich is sausage, egg and cheese but it's elevated above most similar sandwiches by the quality and taste of the bun. The raspberry orange muffin is very good too. They do have password protected Wi-Fi for guests. The password is posted on the back wall.

From the moment I walked in, the baristas at this coffee shop were incredibly warm and welcoming—it felt like stepping into a community, not just a café. But what really blew me away was what happened after I ordered: my car battery had died, and I was panicking about being late for work. Without hesitation, the baristas offered to help me jump my car. Their kindness and quick action made sure I was back on the road and on time. Talk about going above and beyond! And the coffee? Strong, bold, and delicious—the kind that makes your morning better. Between the top-notch brews and genuinely good-hearted staff, this place has earned a loyal customer for life. Highly recommend!

Barista was so friendly and my cold brew was great. I always look for the cool local places when we travel for hockey. He gave me some good dinner restaurant suggestions. I'll be back next time we are here. From North Dakota.

The espresso drinks here are superb––full bodied, flavorful, toasty, yummy. But the real cherry on top is how lovely, sweet, and dedicated all the baristas here are. I've had just the best mornings here. Ask for an iced cortado and have your mind blown!

It’s frustrating because their beans are great and the flavor of the beverages is on point, but both times I’ve ordered hot lattes they were lukewarm. This says a lot coming from me since I tend to be sensitive to heat and have to wait to drink a hot drink. Since I drove off without tasting it each time I didn’t have the chance to ask them to remake it.

Simply the best coffee you can get. This location is cute and pleasant as well, with nice staff. They also sell Black Box pastries, which are excellent. The filled croissants are 🥰. The company has great ethics as well, so you're supporting a positive local company.

Comfortable tiny shop with good (typical) basic products, friendly staff, limited seating. The usual loud acoustics, but no horrible background music. You can have a constructive conversation with another person.

Delicious honey cinnamon latte! Grace forever improved my coffee order with her suggestion and it was one of the best lattes I’ve ever had. Milk steamed to perfection as well. Excellent neighborhood coffee shop and super sweet employees!

What a lovely little coffee shop in the area. I had a few hours to kill before meeting up with friends so I stopped by. Parking can be difficult because it's in the same plaza as the beer garden. There are lots of outdoor seating. Indoor seating can be quite limited because it is a small cafe. However, I love the interior and the vibes of the shop. It feels quite cozy. The music isn't super loud where you can't concentrate. The employees are super friendly and welcoming. Service was quick. It's quite lovely. The matcha latte with the oat milk was delicious. It wasn't overly sweet nor was it bland. You can taste the matcha but it's not too bitter. It was a great drink during the hot summer days.

Picked up a few seasonal drinks - an iced mint mocha and a hot almond latte. Both were brewed well and service was quick. Didn't love the almond flavor/syrup in my latte, so I'll probably try out w different flavor the next time around. My husband enjoyed (and quickly slurped down) his mocha. Lovely open and bright space.

Delicious coffee! First time here and my boyfriend and I got an iced vanilla latte and a seasonal iced brown sugar latte. 10/10. Doesn't taste artificial, the milk to coffee ratio is perfect, and the texture is creamy. We paid about 14 for two 16 oz lattes

I walked in with my father in law and waited a good 5 minutes before I kindly said excuse me hoping to get someone's attention in the back. An employee came out and said I'm on my lunch and someone is talking to the boss. She was not pleased to be missing her lunch and showed that the entire time we were in the shop. If you weren't going to have someone available for a bit, put a sign on the counter! I ordered a strawberry iced matcha off their special menu and when she rang it up it said matcha then salted caramel. I said excuse me I ordered a strawberry matcha. She not so kindly said I know but we don't have a strawberry button. MY FIL then ordered 2 coffees and asked about what type of creamers they had when she asked if he wanted room for cream. Her response "I don't know man, it's just a creamer." We got our drinks and left. My husband went in and got his order since he had stayed outside with our little one and thankfully had a much better experience as it must have been one of the other workers or "the boss." My matcha was great but had zero strawberry. Bummer because I was excited to try something different.

// Summary Quaint coffee shop with a decent cup of coffee, great for hanging out or a grab-and-go. // Experience Per my usual, I ordered a pourover. They do have your standard espresso-based drinks and batch brewed coffee in addition to some of the "specialty" flavors that may pique your interest. The pourover was fine - I feel as if Copper Door roasts aren't particularly interesting to me, so there's that. // Service The barista was nice and friendly. He was the only one on shift, and handled a "mini-rush" pretty well by himself with kindness and efficiency. // Ambiance It's a small shop with limited amount of tables inside and a couple of tables outside. Doesn't seem the best for working, but it's not too bad to hang out with a friend or two, or if you'd like to chill and do some reading. // Convenience It's in the same plaza as the hangars, so there's plenty of parking available. There aren't many coffee shops this side of town, so it's a nice addition to distribute decent coffee around the area.

Even if this coffee shop wasn't located next to the Botanic Gardens, I would still seek them out because they know their coffee and honestly, it's just such a beautiful space whether you go to the gardens or not. If I was still single, this would be the perfect "first date" kind of place if you want to seem classy but not yet sure how much you want to invest in a second date. If it goes well, suggest a romantic stroll through the gardens. If it doesn't go well...just GTFO. I also have a special place in my heart for Copper Door Coffee Roasters because they graciously stayed open to accommodate our event for Blossoms of Light. It can be tough to organize a networking event without paying the exorbitant room fees for the botanical gardens, especially if you only have 20 people and an hour for networking. The ambiance, drinks and the staff were amazing for our Therapist Appreciation Night which we hosted in conjunction with Corporate Sponsor's night. I'm thinking of planning more get together here just because the space is so welcoming. Also, do not miss the spicy chai! I know coffee is their jam but the chai is amazing.

I highly recommend this little coffee shop. They have a great menu with seasonal drinks and gluten free, vegan syrups. They have tasty burritos too, but I'd love to see some allergy friendly bakery items. I love any place that loves plants! The coffee shop itself is snug and cosy, with limited seating, but there is lots of seating available outside.

Cool vibe, definitely a smaller workspace inside but would be perfect on a nice day to work outdoors. Some of their items on the menu board they no longer offer (like the Aeropress and French press) and if there's one person working there, it might take a while for you to get a pour over. Overall though, it was a nice place and plan to go back to try their pour over when they're not busy. It's great to support a woman-owned business!

It was ok coffee, but you could tell they didn't really love coffee. Idk why it has such high reviews, it's pretty mediocre at best but not bad.

Chris P.

Coffee is ok, which sucks because the service is crazy slow. Over 30 minutes between walking in and getting my coffee. 2 small coffees and 1 pastry is $20 after tip..patio is small, but nice

Dan S.

Yelp
Fantastic vibe, plenty of space to stretch out and relax/read. I only give 3 stars because I orders a pumpkin latte and after I paid for it I was told they were out of espresso. The exact same thing happened the another customer as I was in the restaurant. This is an unacceptable business practice. Gouging customers for espresso KNOWING you don't have it. I wish I gave them hell like the customer behind me did. Lucky for me the brewery across the street (Long Table) was amazing!!!

Guy was nice went in to try something new and have a business meeting. Place is tiny they don't roast on site we found out which was a touch disappointing. Got the cold brew and it was sour and if you know anything about coffee sour cold brew is terrible. Batch just tasted old and not worth it. Would not recommend the cold brew thats for sure.

Copper Door Coffee Roasters has fast become a favorite coffee shop of mine. Why you ask?! Well let's talk about it! Star #1 - The space is very sweet and welcoming. Albeit a little on the small side; they make the most of what they have. Star #2 - The baristas are always very friendly! They promptly greet you and ensure they get your order to you quickly. Yay! Star #3 - They offer a small selection of eats including pastries, burritos, and salads. So if you don't feel like venturing out for lunch; they've got you covered! Star #4 - Free WiFi. I feel so old writing that, but it really is a perk! I love being able to take care of my online assignments on-the-go. Safe to say, "I'm a fan!" I know I'll continue to come to Copper Door Coffee Roasters for my caffeine fix and my homework sessions.

I really like this place and have been a regular for the past 3 years, but it has been so hit and miss since they lost their 2 best baristas, roughly 8 months ago. I watched 8 people try to open the doors this morning at 830am (friday), but it was not open. There wasnt a notice about it being closed or opening later in the day, and it said it was open online. Again, I really want to like this place and give them my money but it doesn't seem like they want it. I know it's hard to find good personnel right now but the owner or management needs to work out these issues. I don't want to go to Starbucks and want to support this small business... please

I am so upset this place had to move locations. The vibe is awesome; the baristas are always so nice. The last time I went, I got the horchata latte, it was good but not exactly horchata tasting. The matcha latte was bomb.com. I will be getting it again. Great place to bring your laptop and work to do. Support your local small business!!

I was excited to try this place! My drink was decent, but pricing is outrageous. A small peppermint mocha w soy milk starting at $7 before tip. Insanity

Always a delight to pick up a delicious cup of coffee at the Copper door to walk around the Botanic Gardens. And then of course, pick up a 2nd cup for the drive home!

Nothing better than an iced latte on a warm Saturday afternoon. It was a great cup of coffee. Gentleman was super friendly and talked to my husband and I while he made my drink. I will be back soon!

This was a great find, tucked away in a semi-industrial park. I came across this shop by accident driving through looking all the breweries. I couldn't find anything about pour overs on their online menu but took a chance with the picture of the beans. Sure enough the provide a choice of Chemex or V60 (Yessss!). Had the rare single sack of Brazilian and a Guatemalian pour over. Bought several bags to take home. RJ was and excellent barista, we talked about their coffee and all the places I have been. Another really cool fact is the roastery is strictly female own and that's cool because I just don't see that amongst all the roasters I've been too.

Had the midnight mocha (iced) and boy oh boy was it a kick in the pants! Although they weren't really sure of the ingredients it contains (at the very least) coconut oil, activated charcoal, cocoa, milk and some other stuff. This is a very rich and creamy drink that reminds me of bullet proof coffee and is probably an acquired taste although I really liked it!!! The man behind the counter was kinda strange... Talking about naps and like, strange feelings towards work. IDK. Probably not a shop I could come and hang out in but a good place to get a drink to go!

I work at the museum next door. Went in for some coffee one afternoon on my lunch, very nice guy with a scraggly beard helped me. I didn't catch his name. He recommended their nitro-infused (I think that's what he called it) iced coffee. I got that as I love trying new coffees - I have NEVER had a coffee like that! It had a beautiful, swirling texture and color before I added some cream as I needed to tone down the flavor a bit. The coffee ended up lasting me until the next day because I got extremely jittery! Not sure how much caffeine is in their nitro-coffee, but damn did it give me a shaky, crazy energy until later that night! Really enjoy this little spot & the Lowry employee discount isn't too bad either :-)

Copper Door is a small, independent coffee roaster and shop in the Hangar 2 Building of Lowry. Great coffee, friendly service and a fresh, clean environment make this coffee shop stand out. The main feature for me is that they truly "get" how to roast beans and the in-house blends are well worth a taste. The new location is a bit smaller than the Jersey Street location but regulars will recognize the tables and the way the doors have been incorporated into the new design. Nicely done, please keep up the good work!

Copper Door Coffee Roasters is amazing! The atmosphere of the coffee shop is wonderful and fits for anyone who walks into the coffee shop. The lattes are great and up to everyone's standards!

We like their espresso and we like their coffee selections. What we don't like are their prices, which are more expensive than all the other coffee shops in the area including, Starbucks, Quince Essential, Logan House, Bluenozer, Pablo's, and Jubilee. In addition, Starbucks, Quince, Bluenozer, Lohan House and Pablo's, all offer 1 free coffee refill. The Copper Door charges. So, it boils down to the coffee (and food selection of which theirs is minimal). Again, we like their coffee offerings and would certainly grade them out higher than Starbucks or Bluenozer (and maybe Jubilee...), but their pricing and no-refill policy is off-putting.

Three and a half. I went looking for another coffee shop to work from. I also needed some coffee beans and had in mind a specific varietal. I ordered an iced Americano (it was fine) and a cookie (also fine). It was after lunch time so food offerings were pretty limited. Asked to see their bean selection and the pleasant woman working was quick to show me their whole bean area and there was the Yirgacheffe I was craving! Glad to find a shop that carries specific varietals, it seems like a lot of local roasters are tending to branded blends. I sat down to work and started having bandwidth issues. Checked my bandwidth and I believe it read 3 Mbps. Now, there could be a variety of reasons for this, including where I was sitting, or maybe I didn't see a background download happening. Anyways, I headed home since one of my apps needed an update. Will be back to pick up some beans for sure.

I am not as big a fan of this location, simply because of the small size. Seating is incredibly limited and there are only two outdoor tables. The wifi works well, like their other location, but it's almost impossible to find a seat to sit down and do any work whenever you go in. I really like that it's close to the beer garden and some fun restaurants - it is also a really nice location for pets, since there is plenty of grass outside. The parking can also sometimes be tough (even though the lot is HUGE) because of the number of other restaurants around. They serve the same burritos as their other location and the coffee is just as good. Most of the baristas (particularly the women) are friendly, or just need some time to warm up. Overall, a great place for a cup of coffee, but maybe don't plan to work here unless it's an off time of day.

I got a nice latte here today. The atmosphere was chill and inviting, and the employee was super nice. I took off one star because the pastry I got was dry, but all in all this is a great little coffee shop.

Great neighborhood coffee spot with some delicious coffee alternative drinks, too! A good spot to work if you can snag one of the tables in the corner but the place only seats about 10 max.

I discovered this place by accident while visiting Denver. What a hidden gem. The amount of variety of coffee choices is amazing. I really liked the pour over option. I never had coffee that way. A fun and really special experience. If you're a coffee lover this is a must try!

Great coffee and friendly staff. The location is a little hard to find and the indoor space is limited, but worth it for the quality of coffee they provide.

I liked the other location better (when they were on Jersey) The original staff was welcoming and the atmosphere was exactly right. I came in to the new location in Lowry today and it seemed small, forced, the staff seemed mostly disinterested and my pour-over was just OK. It tasted just like a regular cup of coffee without any distinctive notes like you normally get when ordering a pour over. Overall, just MEH. Probably don't need to go back.

This was my third visit to Copper Door and I have to say each time has been a mediocre experience. I typically receive an "I don't care" and "What do you want" attitude from the baristas. I try to support small, locally owned businesses but not with that kind of customer service. I expect better customer service when I'm paying $6 for a beverage. I was the only customer in there when I came in today and the barista could not even take the time to stir or blend the iced latte I ordered. He just sat it on the counter, syrup on the bottom, milk not blended with the espresso. Perhaps he was too eager to sit back down and get back on his cell phone as he did in front me while I was stirring my drink. The best coffee shops are those that handcraft their beverages and serve them with a smile. Those are the ones I frequent.

I got the light roasted Ethiopian coffee and love it. The undertones are really nice. I normally don't like coffee that has flavors but this is subtle and great. I also ordered the bacon-cheese quiche. It's worth more than $5. So good and filling. The only changes I would make are minor: add a coat rack/hook somewhere and have sugar in a jar to pour. It's easier than opening 3 packs of sugar and probably better for the environment.

Awesome!! love love love. Delicious coffee, warm and friendly space (they were happy to have me in there for hours today!) and super knowledgeable people.

unsure how to rate. visited at 4:30 in the afternoon. stood at counter. nothing. no greeting. nothing. three women over at the tea talking. this is the third business that has tried this location, and you have almost no signage. you cannot afford to ignore any of your customers. we ended up not getting any coffee--we left instead.
