Glissade Coffee Company

Friendly staff, excellent espresso and matcha, and a lovely atmosphere. The fireplace made it extra cozy. My girlfriend and I tried their seasonal orange cardamon syrup and it was good — our drinks came with orange peel shavings on top! They did not charge extra for oat milk, which was nice. They were selling flower bouquets and the pastries looked delicious.

When I travel, I spend an unreasonable amount of time searching for good coffee. I read reviews and try to separate places loved by people who care about coffee from mass-market caffeine delivery systems. Anyone who loves coffee knows this frustration. Many shops source excellent beans, yet choices behind the bar flatten everything into generic “dark chocolate, earthy, graham cracker” territory. I enjoy dark chocolate, but espresso should carry origin, processing, and character. I want flavor shaped by climate, soil, plant, cherry, and method. Glissade delivers much of that experience. The space carries a minimalist, garage-style aesthetic that still feels warm and inviting. I arrived shortly after opening on a Sunday morning with only one other customer present. Over the next hour, a steady flow of people filled the room without crowding it. The layout supports conversation, quiet work, or solitude with ease. Music stays low and unobtrusive. The café fronts the roastery behind glass, creating an authentic, working-coffee atmosphere. Stacks of green coffee, roasted bags ready for sale, and a small roaster reinforce that sense of intention. Espresso service focuses on a single option, supported by one hopper-style grinder dialed in for the day. During my visit, the espresso blend combined Ethiopian Guji (light, natural) with Brazilian Canaan (medium-light, natural). The barista pulled my first shot using their standard automated profile at 17g in and 34g out. The cup showed quality roasting and solid beans, though the extraction blurred some of the more distinct notes. Nothing tasted off, but clarity took a back seat. I followed with a pour over. Glissade offers several single-origin options and uses an automated pour-over system, likely chosen for consistency. I selected a washed Ethiopian Yirgacheffe, and the cup impressed immediately. The bergamot note came through clearly, supported by clean aromatics and excellent separation. Pour over rarely draws me in, but this one held my attention. Full disclosure: I enjoy Earl Grey tea when I want a break from coffee, and this profile landed squarely in that wheelhouse. Curiosity pushed me to ask for a shorter espresso shot, stopped early at 25g. The barista kindly accommodated. That decision unlocked the coffee. Blueberry led the cup, followed by subtle praline and a milk-chocolate finish. The flavors showed precision, balance, and intent. I can’t speak to milk drinks. The latte art and presentation looked excellent, but I don’t order them. I can't speak to the food either, though the pastry case looked amazing. Glissade clearly values coffee, roasting, and thoughtful sourcing. Anyone who appreciates clean flavors, expressive beans, and a calm, spacious environment should make time for a visit. If you don’t live in Denver, or simply want to brew at home, I strongly recommend their Ethiopian offerings.

Great coffee! I got a vanilla latte with oat milk and my bf got a rosemary honey latte, and they were both delicious. Highly recommend. I will say it’s alittle pricy, but it seems like they roast their own coffee so it’s makes sense why it’s on the higher price end. Overall heavily recommend.

What a delightful and wonderful coffee shop! My family came over to chill and read and it was such a pleasant experience. We had a regular latte, a matcha latte, and a lemon pound cake. Most importantly for me when I visit coffee shops our drinks and baked goods were served in glassware! The atmosphere is bright and pleasant with a lot of natural lighting, a fireplace, and lots of places to sit either individually or communal. Just a few blocks away from the Stanley Marketplace, Glissade Coffee is conveniently located. I can't wait to come back!

10/1/25- We were in town for a couple of days & we decided to go to Glissade Coffee Company, Aurora for breakfast based off of pics & reviews. The atmosphere is nice. Spent $39 for a coffee, tea, 2 pastries & a breakfast sandwich. Coffee & tea were good. My chocolate muffin was stringy when pulling it apart. And I mean long, whitish strands. I went to the front and showed to the manager ( the person who seemed to be in charge) who used his hands to pull it apart and agreed. He said he would contact his baker. He offered other items on the menu but I declined because at this time I was nauseated & disgusted. He offered a full refund of our tab to which we said okay. He didn’t ask the name on the card used so I kinda knew he was bullshitting but gave him the benefit of doubt. Over 3 weeks later and no refund yet. My partner didn’t eat his pastry after seeing what mine looked like on the inside. The least the manager could have done was a partial refund or full refund as promised. Be ware and pay close attention when eating the food here.

This is an incredibly legit coffee shop. The owner is passionate about producing the highest quality product and really knows his stuff. This trickles into everything he does with the business, which translates to a really beautiful storefront and amazing food as well. The only downside is that they aren’t closer to where we live! Highly recommend their chicken salad sandwich on the everything croissant and a Glissade Chill to drink! So freaking amazing 🤤

Super friendly and knowledgeable staff. Definitely pick their brains to get that perfect brewed cup at home! And the glissade chill and nitro were awesome.

If you’re flying into Denver and need a quick yet incredible coffee and breakfast stop, look no further than Glissade. Just a 15-minute drive from the airport, this place was the perfect first stop after landing. Their cold brew was amazing and paired with their bangin breakfast burrito, you’ve got a winning combo. The vibe was perfect with nice counter top seats by the fire place or a cozy couch options.

Stopped by to get a quick coffee before I got started on my work day. It was a cute hidden spot (parking was a little tight so I suggest street parking) Lots of seats, couches, outlets, and homemade vanilla syrup. I opted for the vanilla latte with oatmilk and only wish I got a larger size. It was nice seeing other people catch up or get some work done and it would've been nice to stay there and work. Cute place and very trendy.

Glissade is back, baby! Their coffee shop had reopened, but with such little fanfare I just happened to drive past and see that they were open again. I'm so glad, I've missed them terribly. Glissade is the best coffee shop in the area. Craft coffee made by baristas who know their stuff, and a modern, comfortable and cozy environment in which to work a while or just hang out and relax. There is no upcharge on alternative milks. (Thank you!) Their hours are reduced though and they're closed weekends, for now at least. Highly recommended.

One of the better matcha coffee that I have had so far. Very chill vibes here with quick service when you order too. Tables are cute!

Very kind gentlemen working there and the ambiance of the whole place is quiet and relaxing, perfect to enjoy a cup of coffee and a good book

great service, great atmosphere, great food. I got an affogato one time and it was so good. I always get an earl grey when I come here and it's honestly spectacular. No cup of earl grey in HISTORY has made me shed a tear, except for this one. It's beautiful, 10/10 would recommend

Glissade is a newer shop with great ambiance in a great area of town! Baristas are super sweet and service is fast even on a busy Saturday morning. There's plenty of seating inside whether you're coming along, with a friend or a big group. There is also a semi- shaded area outside if you want to bring your pupper along. I love the table surrounding the little fireplace - makes for a cozy working environment even in the summer! The chai was amazing - one of the best I've ever had. Loved how it was not overly sweet and it paired perfectly with the muffin which was so dense and moist and yummy! There's lots of other baked goodies that I'm sure are worth a try for another time.

Came here this morning around 6:45 with my partner and there were a few people around. We were promptly greeted and made our order. They had many pastries out, but the breakfast danish caught my eye because I'm more of a savory than sweet kind of girl. I ordered a Juniper Spice latte with oat milk and my partner got an oat milk cappuccino. It came out pretty quick. Soooo good! My latte was just the right amount of sweetness and spice, and his cappuccino was very good too. The coffee here is great. The danish was surprisingly tasty as well, with egg and I think some bacon bits inside. I really like the environment here and love that it's situated in a neighborhood. Cute local spot, I'll be back!

One of the best pour-overs I've ever had. Extremely knowledgeable proprietor on coffee. Will be back. Also very clean.

Came here for the first time while visiting a friend in the area and I was stunned by how beautiful this coffee shop is. The shop is large with a ton of seating. This is a great place to meet a friend to chat or to get some work done. I had no issues with the wifi. The employees were super nice and helped me with figuring out what drink to order. The coffee was INCREDIBLE, and the prices were super reasonable. If I lived here, I would be a regular!

Excellent, smooth, finely crafted coffee. Nice vibe, comfortable seats, nice selection of sandwiches, breakfast burritos and baked goods. I'll definitely visit whenever I'm in the area.

Absolutely the best coffee I tasted here in Denver. The staff was so welcoming and helpful. The service is top notch, so glad I visited. They also have toast so I appreciate their reward program. Vibe is so nice, if you are having a bad bad, please come you won't regret it!

Located not far from my home and workplace, I found Glissade Coffee tucked away in an unsuspecting corner next to a family cycling shop. The location has plenty of charm with outdoor seating, and indoors was no exception. You could not tell just how busy it was until stepping inside but it was clear this place must be a popular spot with the locals. I had the pleasure of meeting the owner awhile back and he told me of his venture the last year in buying a house, a business, and recently having a child. It is no surprise what a success this place clearly is. Great atmosphere, very roomy and the cold brew I ordered with oat milk and vanilla is fantastic.

Great atmosphere. Nice variety of drinks (coffee or wine) little couches and fireplace area. But it's always packed in the afternoon and everyone so just sitting there in their laptops and it's too bad because it has a great environment for socializing with a pal or date but hard to do when it's packed with people taking up space with their laptops and phone scrolling.

Great spot! Delicious coffee and super nice people. The pastries and breakfast items were also very good. The almond bear claw was a little dry but still overall solid. The chai and the coffee were both delicious. Can't wait to come back.

Awesome coffee shop! They have some tasty coffee and tea drinks at a reasonable price. Plenty of parking in the lot and in the street. Plenty of seating indoors and a cute bar table area around a fireplace to give this more modern coffee shop a nice cozy vibe. I can definitely imagine myself sitting there in the winter (but it's a little too hot now). It's not too loud either, which I really appreciated. Definitely going to be my go to coffee spot.

This is a fantastic coffee shop close to my house that I'm really glad I found out about. The seating inside is comfortable and the setting is great for either getting some work done on your computer or meeting up with a friend. You can tell that they have thought about all of the little details here. The coffee is superb. They know what they're doing. And, I really appreciate that they don't charge extra for alternative milks. Have not tried the food yet, but they have a nice-looking selection of baked goods. They also have beer and wine! The people working have always been very friendly and kind.

Glissade just opened up in my Central Park neighborhood and couldn't have been welcomed with more open arms! A coffee shop with a stake in the surrounding community was missing and now the gap in our lil hearts is full Great coffee. WONDERFUL staff and people. Good vibes. Active community owners. Whether you live in Central Park or elsewhere, you've got to come check this place out. Oh and it gets better: They just extended their summertime hours into the evening AND they serve pastries from Aurora's excellent bakery, Banh and Butter

Great hours, atmosphere, coffee and service. It is too loud to study or focus in though. Perhaps some noise absorbing tiles on the ceiling.

// Summary Brand new coffee shop that serves excellent coffee! Come support this new business! // Experience They haven't had their pourover machine working in the two times I've visited, but hopefully I get to experience their pourovers the next time I visit. Instead I've ordered my second choice: the classic americano. It was pretty tasty. I ordered one of their breakfast burritos too, and that wasn't too bad either! // Service Baristas have always been nice and friendly. They're pretty prompt to get your order in a timely manner. // Ambiance They got an awesome space with plenty of seating: a large community table, a bit of a lounging area with a couch and a couple of chaises, bar seating, and several smaller tables throughout the shop. It feels very clean, but that may be primarily because it's new - so hopefully it stays that way! // Convenience They have a small lot where you can park, but I think you also can park in the street. Their Wifi is pretty solid and I was able to work there pretty easily and reliably.

Tucked away in a quiet little lot this coffee shop is near perfect. Quiet coffee shop noises, nice music and delicious coffee with cashew milk to boot! The staff is very accommodating as I went in with a sleeping baby. They offered to bring me a to go cup and bag for my pastry if she woke. Thankfully I got to enjoy a smooth cup of coffee and yummy blueberry muffin in peace.

Loves this place! Went for a pour over and a chai latte. Coffee was great quality and the chai latte was omg so good! Super cute simple decor and they also have games, a high chair, and some children's books (and wine and beer for parents haha). Service was awesome. Great local place.

This place was so good that I almost ordered two coffee drinks but was too embarrassed. The Glissade Chill was amazing. It's not super close to where I live, but I stopped in en route elsewhere due to the amazing reviews. I now understand; they are doing all things right (branding, vibes, service, community, etc.). Hope to return soon!

They are new 5mos. Incredibly engaging barista. The coffee is really good. (Had a vanilla latte).

I stopped by the new shop on the block, during my morning walk to the grocery store, and I ordered a dirty chai with macadamia milk and vanilla. FLAVOR!!! The space feels bright and open, and there is a door that I can only imagine will be up during the warmer days, with the perfect angle to catch all of the morning sunlight, either way. The music is so subtle that you can wind down and even get some work done, or you might simple enjoy it without being utterly blasted, in a world that's already noisy enough--note to those who need a periodic break from the loudness of the daily grind. I certainly needed the boost, today, so thank you. To say the absolute least, I am thoroughly pleased with the decision. Quick note: NO EXTRA FEES FOR DAIRY ALTERNATIVES, including macadamia, almond, and oat milk options. It's about time someone took such a reasonable approach to the battle of dairy allergies/avoidances. You. ROCK.

Recently opened in North Aurora, this spot has quickly become a local's favorite. Stop by for your favorite coffee beverage, and some wonderful pastries! A relaxing, friendly atmosphere makes this a great place to mingle with family and friends. The staff is also very friendly! Whether you're a local or just passing by, be sure to stop in and say hello!

Great new addition to the neighborhood. The coffee is so good and the service is friendly.

This has been a great addition to our neighborhood. I love that they do not charge extra for oat milk and offer amazing food options. They have a run club on the weekends and work with other local Aurora businesses. This is great spot to catch up on work or with a friend!

Pastries and chicken pesto sandwich was good ! Coffee was very good ! Service was quick, and it was a quiet place to get work done if needed !

I definitely recommend this coffee spot. Great place to study. Plenty of tables and outlets. The coffee also tastes as good as it looks.

I can walk to it! I can walk to Logan House in Stanley and have walked to Starbucks in the Town Center, as well. But I would prefer to walk to Glissade. Better coffee, better espresso, nice baristas, nice owner and reasonable prices! Lucky us that they opened up where they did.

I was visiting from out of town and wandered into this coffee shop. It was out of this world!! Beautiful space, amazing staff, and never mind how perfect my latte was. I stopped in everyday of my trip! I got a juniper sage latte and chocolate croissant. BEST I HAVE EVER HAD. Thank you so much Glissade for such an amazing experience. HIGHLY recommend!!!

Such a great addition to the neighborhood. I love the vibe. The employees are delightful. The coffee is a little too bitter for my taste but I still enjoy it and go there often.

PERFECT place to work from or go for a quick coffee! The baristas are always nice and friendly. A good low key place to get things done- music not too loud and you can always find a seat (with a plug).

Lovely place full of friendly folx!! The cocoa was delish and the fireplace, dreamy!!!

Great coffee, and a very nice space. Knowledgeable barista there who took the time to serve well.

Stopped by here last week after seeing a new coffee shop had popped up in the area. Beautiful, clean interiors and outstanding coffee flavor. The owner was so kind, too. I felt so much peace sitting in this little coffee shop - can't wait to be back :)

Great coffee, service and vibe. The handmade tiles were gorgeous. And the coffee was some of the best I've had in Colorado! This is real craft coffee. This is a medium light roast profile made by well trained baristas who know their craft. I own a coffee shop myself, and would highly recommend this place to all those coffee snobs out there who boycott St*rb*cks (like me).

Fantastic news coffee shop near the Central Park Denver and Aurora neighborhoods. Great coffee, unique beans and warm, welcoming space. Highly recommend the oat milk cortado. The staff is great and knowledgeable about their coffee. Also some fantastic pastries to go along with your coffee. Looking forward to an evening visit for some beer & wine.

I stopped in during their soft open and have been back twice since - that's how good it is! Coffee is great, ambience is clean and fun (love the fireplace), and everybody is friendly. And now they have the full menu with pastries - I'll be back frequently.

Great coffee, and good prices too. Very good ambiance inside and out on the patio; I highly recommend this place!

the best cup of hot chocolate I've ever had the staff is so friendly. A cozy environment that helps the feel try this you won't regret it

We have been to this coffee shop in our neighborhood almost weekly and it is a great addition to the area. Coffee and food options are great and the space is very nice as well. Staff is always friendly too!

I randomly found this coffee shop by a google search and am glad I did! It is spacious, local, and has a really kind and friendly environment! The people who work here are very kind which goes a long way - they seem like they are enjoying their work. I got a matcha mocktail-like drink which was super tasty plus a cool sticker. Also the music isn't too loud (one of my petpeeves when I find a coffee shop to study at). Thanks Glissade!

One of our favorite neighborhood spots! Serves a delicious and consistent cup of coffee every time and the staff are so friendly. The space is clean, welcoming and nicely designed. An absolute must if you're ever in the area (and even if you're not, worth going out of the way for).

Best service with the friendliest staff! The design of the coffee house is modern and comfortable. Sean the owner is clearly very passionate about coffee. They roast the beans on site too!

Tucked into the Collective in Aurora, right on the border of Central Park, Glissade could have settled for being the best coffee shop in a neighborhood short on the sort of unique, high-quality coffee bean-centric coffee shops that are easier to find in central Denver. Instead, it seems like they aimed to be one of the best coffee shops in the Metro area, period - and hit the mark. The space, in a former warehouse, is voluminous with high ceilings, and the white walls add to the sense of openness; however the wood-toned furniture and central hearth (which most customers seemed to gravitate towards) bring warmth to the place. There are a variety of seating options for customers coming for various purposes, including a large U-shaped counter; individual tables for quiet conversation or solitary work; a large, welcoming common table; and a patio. It's the summer, and I had the cold brew, which was excellent and brewed long enough for the complexity of the beans to be fully absorbed by the water. I look forward as the weather warms to explore the capabilities of their espresso offerings. The pastry cabinet was well-stocked for this late morning arrival, with a pleasing variety of sweet and savory options. The Lemon Raspberry poundcake was delicious. Overall, while it was a 20 minute drive from my neighborhood to visit, I'm adding this to my list of destination coffee shops in the Denver metro area - and you should, too!

FINALLY a fantastic coffee shop in Central Park! Sean has really created something special here! He took the time to talk with my wife, Esther, and I about getting his business started and shared with us his extensive knowledge on sourcing and roasting his own coffee beans! It's really impressive to see the roasting area on the side and the coffee shop is really impressive with a lot of open space and areas to sit and talk and work! Great work bringing something so beautiful to the area!

Great place to dine and work. Clean, friendly staff, and the bakery items are AMAZING!

coffee was WONDERFUL!!! very friendly staff and the decor is lovely. kids welcome. small seating area outside where dogs are welcome. Stop by Hardt Family Cyclery while there.
