Craft coffee & espresso from sourced beans, seasonal delights
"With a following as massive as its space is tiny, this boutique-chic shop in LoDo’s Sugar Cube building offers a farm-to-cup experience in the form of all the classic showcases for house roasts — cold brews, cortados, Americanos, and so on — though it’s not above whipping up seasonal delights like the Pina Collided with espresso, pineapple, and coconut or the Yam Queen, a yam-and-marshmallow latte. (A second location downtown and a third in LoHi share its sleek aesthetic; there’s also an outlet in the lobby of the new Populus hotel.)" - Ruth Tobias

"“Little” is an understatement; Little Owl Coffee in LoDo has just enough room for a barista counter, a retail cooler, merchandise shelving, and 10 or so stools—that’s it and that’s all. But it sure is cute, with a wood-planked floor and a low-slung ceiling; gleaming white-on-white and glass-on-glass from the marble back wall to the espresso machine; and picture windows overlooking an equally small covered patio. The drinks here, made from four house roasts are standard bearers, with the perfect ratio of coffee to foam, ensuring that you can taste the beans through the milk (or the house-made almond milk)." - Ruth Tobias
This tiny LoDo espresso bar delivers meticulous shots and smart seasonal drinks in a minimalist space. Highlighted by Condé Nast Traveler and beloved by local critics, it’s a polished, downtown expression of Denver’s coffee craft.
