Great place. Music, atmosphere, and coffee are all wonderful. Above all else though, this feels like a spot run by real people. There’s an immediately tangible personal touch to it, from the energy of those behind the counter to the presence of regulars and more. If you value that I can’t recommend this enough. Also great prices for breakfast lol
Loved the atmosphere there. Chill, and quiet. Seemed like a great place to work, or hang out if that's what you want. The staff was kind and accommodating. I didn't try the coffee at the shop, but I did buy a quality cotton t-shirt, which I love. I went to the shop to buy their coffee beans. I bought a medium roast Rwanda coffee, and it delivered in spades. Brewed in a French press (for those that care). I highly recommend this coffee shop if you're in the greater Denver area.
Walking into Whittier Café feels like stepping into a warm hug—cozy, cultural, and so beautifully put together. The vibe alone makes you want to stay awhile, but then the coffee hits: bold, smooth, and unforgettable. Their pastries are fresh and flavorful, and the customer service? Absolutely top-tier—genuine smiles and real hospitality. This isn’t just a coffee shop, it’s an experience. Denver, you’re lucky to have this gem. 🌍☕🍰
An absolute gem! I stopped here purely because I needed to use the bathroom (and fine, I'll admit that I didn't NOT need to get some coffee and a scone) and.I was nearby, and as luck would have it I stumbled upon this amazing place. The coffee and scone were delicious, of course, but the atmosphere was what makes this place stand out. In these disturbing and terrifying times being in a space so clearly devoted to fighting injustice, racism, xenophobia, homophobia, and all of the other forms of hated that are spreading like wildfire locally, statewide, nationally, and globally is a breath of fresh air. As a white, male-presenting US citizen I know that the most I have to worry about (at least for now...) is being "accidentally" detained temporarily. But my husband and most of my friends are refugees from Venezuela facing an unknown but certainly awful future and it often feels like no one else in this country thinks of them as fully human and deserving of the same basic human rights, opportunities, and ability to live with their families without fear or starvation. And of course the situation is the same for people from countries all over the world, usually as a direct result of the actions of the US. Anyway I'm getting off track, as usual. A+, 20/20, 100%. Great coffee, great baked goods, and lovingly tended plants. If you're in the area, or even if you're not, definitely stop by. I promise you won't regret it.
