Huckleberry Roasters

This little shop packs a punch. Don't let the young baristas fool you - they know more about coffee than you and your mom combined. In fact, ask them about coffee and watch them light up with enthusiasm - they aren't your common baristas. They are changing the landscape of coffee in Denver. It's all science here - nothing eyeballed, nothing unmeasured. Huckleberry's Phantom Limb is one of a few that I would consider the holy grail for coffee. It's killer as a pour over, and killer as espresso. Imagine someone packing your mouth full of blueberries and slapping you. That is much like the espresso experience. The pour over is likened to sitting with Donald trump on a calm day. He looks at you, offers a bowl a fruit. You say, "nah, I'm good. I have my coffee." Their Blue Orchid on the other hand is nutty, chocolate notes, and makes you want to fish for salmon in Argentina on a drizzly day. These guys have nailed it down. If you're passing through, huckleberry is sure to top your 5 must visit places.

5 stars for coffee and staff friendliness and cleanliness of facilities. Prices are cheaper than Little Owl Coffee, black coffee a little better too. 4 stars for location and layout. Not the best place to hangout, limited seating. There's not enough room to line up, service can be a little slow at dealing with lines. I LOVE Huckleberry coffee. Black cold brew is different than I'm used to, but a pleasant treat. On my last day in the city they gave me their largest slice of blueberry almond coffee cake. :]
