LaTinto Café

Incredible bread and empanadas here. Stopped in after driving by on Broadway a few times and I’m so happy I did. My husband got the ham and cheese sandwich and was super pleased, the staff were so welcoming and friendly, and the atmosphere here is very inviting and warm. Will definitely be back to try breakfast!

What a special place! Great spot to meet a friend for coffee and a pastry. Unique eats and delicious beverages. I've never seen cheese in hot chocolate before, a Colombian specialty worth trying!

The food is really good—I have no complaints about that. I had been looking for a place with great bread and Colombian antojitos for a long time, and this place definitely delivers. However, the service today was a bit disappointing. We arrived around 2 PM and were told they weren’t serving breakfast anymore, which was fine. A server took our order( someone call him the manager), but be he forgot mine at first—maybe he didn’t hear me? I had to go to the front to ask someone about it. Okay, no big deal. Later, we ordered a few more things, and they came out in to-go boxes. A lady explained that between 2 and 4 PM, all orders are packaged to-go. The issue is that we were already seated at a table, and we expected to eat there. The server never explained that detail to us. Honestly, if he had just told us up front, we would’ve understood—or maybe even decided not to order more. Anyway, I know they can do better. The first time we came, I was really happy with both the food and the service. I understand that sometimes things get busy and people can be distracted. I’m not a difficult customer, but I still left unhappy with the service today.

We went for breakfast and everything we had was delicious. I went with a Colombian friend and it was approved by her. She said that everything was authentic and reminded her of home. I thought everything I had was tasty!

Absolutely delicious!! Everything we ordered was so fresh and so flavorful! Great prices for great quality. Very kind employees, really impressed!

I had Enrollado Guayaba y Queso and Campesino Coffee, and they were sooo good! The sweet treat was huge, and it was so worth it! Very cute place.

Everything about Latinto is perfect 💯 if you ever get the opportunity to dine in DO IT! I usually get a basic oat milk latte with vanilla but Latinto makes it taste better than any other cafe I've been to. My partner isn't a huge fan of lattes but Latinto’s is the exception. I've been coming here more often because with it being the summer their pastries are the perfect breakfast. Karina has taken my order a few times when ordering to-go and she has always been so kind and gives off really beautiful energy! Dined in for the first time and she let me order in Spanish and was very patient with me. Latinto Café is my favorite coffee place off Broadway!

The almojabanas were delicious, the buñuelos and tequeños were pretty good. The tamal had potatoes and was huge, but not much flavor... chorizos were great, but the rice was kind of soggy. Overall pretty good, the bakery food looks great!

MUST come to this place if you're in Denver! My favorite cafe of all time! Best coffee, best baked goods! The lattes are absolutely incredible, I often find a lot of coffees to be too acidic or too sweet but they have the smoothest most miraculous blend. The best coffee I've ever had in my life! Best gluten free options in Denver for baked goods hands down. Naturally gf the Colombian cheese based doughs are amazing, from pandebono, to buñuelos, and empanadas, you can't go wrong with anything, but my favorite is the empanada de cambray (stuffed with guava and cheese). Service is amazing, super quick as well. Alex is especially wonderful and brightens my morning every time I visit!

This place is a vibe. You can dine in the little garden inside or have a cafe at the bar top area near the entrance. A little guava cream cheese treat to start off your day? Special roasts with flavors of pineapple and chocolate? Don't come here if you are on a diet. It looks like their breakfast is pretty good but I got a takeaway bag of pastries that they warmed up and an americano. They don't have the best selection of additives for your coffee (half and half). But they do have great roast selections. The Colombian pastry is a very subtlety sweet and savory treat. I enjoyed the enrollada, the pan queso, and the pandebueno? The last one was very similar to a pão de queijo in flavor profile. I'm not sure about the gluten part though.

Just discovered the cutest Colombian Cafe in Broadway! @latintocafe opened in February of 2023 and it means "Black Coffee." Owned by the same guy who brought Denver @lachivacolombian the gracious Don Jorge. The cafe is just across the street from the restaurant and offers the most amazing breakfast dishes and warm service from Alexis and everyone. The traditional Colombian breakfast options were delicious, and the Caldo de Costilla with its clear broth, beef, and potatoes was a standout. The Denver Omelet and freshly baked bread were also fantastic! And I can't forget to mention the addictive bread in the basket and the perfect hot Aguapanela for a cold morning. The La Tinto specialty Latte was equally delicious and pretty. By 9 am, the place was already full, and it's no wonder - it's worth braving a snowstorm to visit! Featured: Coffee (Brewed coffee. Add milk .50) Aguapanela (Sugar cane drink) LaTinto Specialty (Latte sweetened with panela and cinnamon) Denver Omelette Mix of veggies (zucchini, bell peppers, mushrooms), with ham and cheddar cheese Caldo de Costilla (GF) (Soup made with beef ribs, potatoes, and cilantro) Various Breads in basket : Almojabana 2.0 (Traditional Colombian cheese bread. They are made of yuca starch and curd cheese. )Pandebono 2.0 (Bread made with yuca flour, cheese and egg.)Buñuelos (GF) 1.5 (Fried ritters made with a mix of cheese, corn starch and yuca flour)

Amazing Colombian cafe. My fiancé is Colombian and this is his favorite place. Before we started dating, I had never had Colombian food, and now I am a huge fan! This is a must try for all people!! They have a beautiful cafe with lots of seating. The bakery case when you walk in is so tempting with all different kinds of pastries. Even if you come to just grab some pastries to go, you will blown away. We usually start with a maracuja (passion fruit) juice made with water (but milk is even more of a treat). We split a tamal - amazing, lots of flavor, lots of chicken and not try at all! And we split caldo de costilla - tender beef rib, potatoes, cilantro & tons of flavor. My absolute favorite thing to have are the almojabanas. Theyre the best texture with a sweet and salty cheesy flavor. So good with coffee or hot chocolate. Very helpful & friendly staff. Easy street parking out front. Overall, this is a must visit!! Such a treat to experience authentic Colombian food in Denver.

As years-long enthusiastic patrons of La Chiva, we've been dying to try LaTinto. We thought lunch before the Copa America finals would be a great time, but boy were we wrong. The place was excruciatingly hot (with no fans or even warnings at the door) and the service was simply abysmal. Our server never smiled and didn't react to our many pleas for water, even though we had our child and I am very clearly *super* pregnant. I almost passed out in there and never once did anyone come to help or apologize or anything. My Mom and husband had to go and find water for me multiple times. Our food was delayed by about 45 min. No one ever came to our table to say anything. They could have offered us something from the bakery and made more money, but nothing. I was surprised that they didn't come to inquire if they could bring anything for our 2 yr old. I was dehydrated and overheated from the experience for the entire day after. I spoke with the manager who was apologetic, but who made excuses. I explained that we were paying customers and we shouldn't be fearing for our health while being ignored entirely by his staff. The only reason this is getting 2 stars as opposed to 1 is because the pandebono was delicious and gave us both major nostalgia to our Colombian upbringings. I'll go back to pick up pastries, but I'll never do sit down dining here again.

La Tinto is the place for Colombian treats-- the cafe is cute with space to gather, and all their offerings are displayed in the front counter. The balance of sweet and savory is perfect--from guava & cheese pastries, the yucca-flour based chewy pan de bono or almojábanas, to the empanadas. I got some goodies to go but ordered the empanadas heated. These were a perfect lunch before finishing the rest of my errands for the day. Stop by for something to go or to catch up with a friend!

Great coffee and pastries. Will definitely be back to try their breakfast and enjoy the ambiance.

Quaint place with a relaxed atmosphere. Lots of snacks to choose from with the options for a few breakfast meals. Service was quick and friendly and we got our food quickly. I really enjoyed the pandebono, veggie empanada, and mozzarella arepa. Everything was served hot and fresh and tasted divine. The empanadas are small so keep that in mind when deciding quantity. I also ordered a campesino coffee and it was quite delicious. It's a black coffee sweetened with sugarcane juice. Very tasty! Only complaints I have is that we were handed two differently formatted menus, which were both different from what showed on the online menu so that was a little confusing. And we ended up sitting for a long time after we were done waiting for our server for a check but then realized we could pay up front. Overall, we will be back!

A sister spot to La Chiva, this is a casual cafe-focused concept serving some great Colombian snacks and breakfast dishes. My Colombian husband was excited to check this place out upon hearing they opened last week. We made our way for breakfast today and had a solid experience! We ordered a bunch to share: tamal, beef empanadas, a tequeno, a pan de bono, lulo juice and orange juice. It all came out to about $40. Everything hit the spot! I think the pan de bono could've been a little lighter but besides that, everything was just like I would expect. I'd definitely love to come back and try more of the menu including the arepas and calentao. Don't expect a full blown coffeeshop menu when it comes to coffee itself, but they have your basic lattes and espresso, as well as hot chocolate which is a Colombian favorite. There's a good amount of seating both at the front and in the main dining area. As it's right on Broadway (across the street from La Chiva), you have to take your bets with street parking. All in all, happy we came and would definitely swing by for a snack or take some things to go!

LEGIT Colombian bakery. Pandebonos are divine. Mozzarella arepas are outstanding. My fiancé is from Bogota and other than the cafe/bakeries in Florida and Brooklyn, these are the best she's ever had. Get there!

Their coffee & pastries are exceptional. I would highly recommend trying anything with their guava filling. The ambiance is bright quiet and relaxed, with a sun drenched interior and shady back patio. All the servers and staff are very friendly too.

I'd been on the hunt for Pandebono in Denver since moving here 5 years ago and finally I walked past LaTinto and my prayers had been answered. The Pandebono was perfection, exactly what I'd been craving for so long - and the empanadas! Too good to handle! Colombian empanadas and breads are the best of all time and I cannot wait to try more of LaTinto's menu.

Best coffee I've had on Sobo so far. I got a caramel latte. Food was good, slightly small portion sizes. Service was helpful and really kind but it did take a while to have someone check on us if we needed anything. We had to flag someone down for the check. I would go back, especially for the coffee.

My girlfriend is Colombian so I took her here and she loved it. It's hard to find Pandebono in Denver. The empanadas were great too. They have great service as well. I recommend.

Great place to get some Colombian breakfast. Had their delicious speciality coffee, pan de bueno, caldo and other items. The staff were all extremely friendly and helpful. Will be going back whenever I'm in the area.

Food was delicious. Tried the empanadas, nice crispy on the outside and very tasty on the inside. The caldo de costillo is delish and hearty.

My husband and I are from Florida but love to travel to Columbia and have been there a few times. The thing we love most about Columbia is their food and boy did this place DELIVER! Best Colombian food outside of Columbia in our opinion. The service was great and the atmosphere took us right back to Columbia. Definitely will be back!

¡Qué berraquera! The South Broadway space formerly occupied by La Chiva (which moved right across the street) is now home to another spot you and your "parche" will enjoy, from the same owners! So let's have some Colombian comfort food at LaTinto Café. Kick things off with a coffee ("Tinto" in fact is Colombian slang for a sweetened cup of black coffee) or refreshing fruit juice (available with or without milk and in options such as Mora (blackberry), Guanábana (soursop) or Lulo (naranjilla) while you have a peek at the delicious pastries on offer. On a very recent visit, I availed myself of quite a few of these latter items, as it turns out. One of my favorites, the humble Buñuelo, is a gorgeous globe of cheese and cassava flour especially popular at Christmas time. Meanwhile, Mogollas (sometimes termed Acemas) are puffy buns redolent with the unmistakable aroma and flavor of cane sugar (Panela). LaTinto's chicken puff pastry is a sturdy, meaty wonder capable of helping dull the fiercest hunger pangs. And those of you with a sweet tooth will enjoy one or more of their guava-and-cheese offerings (like the Empanada de Cambray, a particular specialty of Valle del Cauca in western Colombia). But that's not all you can find here of course - so let's dig a little deeper. Sure, their sister restaurant may be known for phenomenal lunch and dinner plates, but what about breakfast? Well, LaTinto is here to plug that gap - yes indeed! Changua is a hearty milk-based soup from central Colombia with an egg cooked into it and sprinkled with a generous helping of green onion (pro-tip - it's also known as a hangover cure [hic!]). If you're in a more carby, meaty frame of mind, the Calentao is sure to satisfy, with its ample portions of - for example - rice, beans, Arepa (corn cake) and chorizo sausage. Or, perhaps you'd prefer one of their sizable plantain-leaf-wrapped tamales, packed with pork, chicken, peas, potatoes, carrots, and the tomato/onion mixture called Hogao and steamed to perfection. If someone in your party is looking for something a bit more familiar, the eatery's take on a Denver omelet adds zucchini and mushrooms to the more common ham, cheese and peppers for a memorable twist on a classic item. Anyway, these are just a few of the "vainas" awaiting you at LaTinto.

Delicious and authentic! The best Colombian food we've had in Denver. Caldo was amazing in the cold weather.

Wowowow just moved to the area and checked out this cafe with a friend. We met up around 8:30am on a Wednesday and had the place to ourselves. The staff was super friendly and explained many of the dishes and pastries to us, it was my first time to a Colombian cafe! I don't usually drink normal coffee but really enjoyed the taste. My friend's special latte was super tasty too! She got a special empanada too with chicken, beef, and yuca! So moist and juicy with the yuca! I got Huevos Pericos, very tasty but a small portion for the price! The Bunuelo cheese ball was super tasty and cheesy and doughy. Overall I thought the drinks and the pastries were super hot, tasty, and very reasonably priced. I got a Roscon de Bocadillo (guava stuffed bread) which was huge and freshly baked for only $3.00! By 10:45 the place really filled up, lots of natural lighting and plants. Such a vibe! Will be back and tell all my friends about : )

I was very happy to find all my breads it was Great food, service was on point and the ambiance was very welcoming.

I had the cheese, beef and chicken empanada- all were delicious and $3 They had a sugarcane drink that was also delish- def a must try if you are wanting hoping for Latin snacks/pastries/drinks Service was friendly Cute place for antiquing, buying herbs and little shops along the way on Broadway!

The food was just ok, service was insufficient and TERRIBLE. We couldn't even get a glass of water on a hot day, I had to get up several times and serve my table. No A/C on this 100 degree day. In short, a disaster! Never again!!

La comida está bien, sólo hay algunas cosas que recomendaría cambiar, en cuanto a la comida. Los Huevos Pericos son buenos, pero tradicionalmente en Colombia, los tomates se cocinan junto con la cebolla , no crudos. El servicio está un poco lento y las porciones están pequeñas. Que no cambien las empanadas eso si estaba muy rico.

First off, this cafe is beautiful and charming inside. The campesino coffee was incredible, sweet but not too sweet. The food? Absolutely delicious. We had the tamal and a few pastries to sample as much as we could. This may be our Saturday morning tradition. I cant wait to go back and try something else.

Really friendly staff and delicious pastries! The empanadas were especially good. Prices are relatively reasonable.

Coming from a Colombian family, this place is home away from home; With authenticity provided in the pastry and menu options, it is an easy decision to come here for breaksfast every weekend. We drive an hour one way just to come here. The service is always friendly and genuine. The ambiance here is like being in a cafe in Cartagena all over again! Will continue to be a repeat customer!

It was confusing on how to enter the place, but very pretty inside with wood floors and brick walls. Unfortunately, the blazing sun in the morning window made my experience sweltering. Definitely a euro vibe with super slow service so don't be in a hurry. Always a concern when there are 10 tables and nobody, absolutely nobody, had food on the table. Once the order came, though, the bread was very yummy. My eggs were delicious and so was the sausage. The morning wasn't that hot out, so I cannot imagine what the broadway location will be like once summer really sets in. Maybe install some fans and pass out ice water, so that your customers don't pass out.

This place is a great addition to the neighborhood! I really love the egg scramble, the Colombiano combo, and the pan de queso. The hot chocolate is amazing too. Actually, I haven't tried anything that I didn't love. :-)
