Old homes, turned business's are always my favorites.
They are quaint, homey, exude a feeling of the past and always bring a unique vibe.
"Quince" for short - is no exception!
LOCATION/VIBE: Just a little past the corner of Colfax and Quince, this coffee shop is easy to drive past, but is clearly marked, if you're looking for its doors. Nestled into the neighboring homes, it's easy to see why this is a locals favorite! Although small, the space feels much larger. The interior is filled with various trinkets,tea cups, and different color/sized tables to accommodate various party sizes. Locals vibe with a farm house feel, is the best way to describe it! My friend and I found a cute little spot on the wrap around porch, making us feel right at home!
STAFF: So beyond friendly. We looked like a couple of lost souls as we searched for the menu to order from, but the barista, who was so sweet, pointed right to it and gave us a handful of their favorite dishes/drinks. It's clear they welcome all, as the place was packed for a Wednesday morning, and they were familiar with most of them!
FOOD: Holy pastries! mmmm! Although we chose to nosh on their homemade breakfast burritos (stuffed with bacon, potato, green chilie and cheese!) their croissants, danishes and entire case of OTHER looked absolutely drool worthy! They pride themselves on local flavors - as their empanadas are made by Maria Empanada (off S Broadway), the organic juices are made in Denver, and their famous "bottle soda's" are all made locally. We ordered at the counter, and the sweet barista found us and brought us our meal! The burrito was grilled to perfection and so good! Although, there wasn't any cheese in mine, it still tasted fresh and yum!
COFFEE/TEA: Because the sun decided to come on out after the recent rain, I opted for an iced coffee with a splash of vanilla syrup and cream. mmmmm! I find that most iced coffee can be quite bitter, but not this one! Perfectly sweetened and refreshing! EVEN BETTER? When you guy an iced coffee, you get a free refill! My friend opted for their local apple juice and found it to be strong in flavor and taste, but great!
I was very impressed by this little gem in the heart of Denver! I know I'll be back!! :)
