Little Owl Coffee - LoHi — Restaurant in Denver

Came across this coffee shop while in the area. It had good reviews, so I thought I'd stop by and try it out. The service was great, the barista greeted me and took my order right away. It wasn't busy when I visited. They had a few donut offerings as well as a special seasonal menu. I tried the Yam Queen drink, and it was just ok for me. The coffee itself was good, but none of the described flavors were discernable. No Yam or marshmallow taste, light fall spices. The drink was described as beating your PSL drink. Whose PSL drink? Not my PSL drink! This was a lightweight in the realm of Fall flavored drinks. The donut was good, but nothing to write home about. Just a fresh donut. The atmosphere was quiet, very industrial feeling, not cozy at all in the more common sense or what you would think of when you think coffee shop. Some people like that cold, hard, industrial look and feel. I know that's very subjective, so I just gave it a middle of the road 3 stars, same with the food. The service was great, though, and the place was spotless. I personally would not revisit. The parking situation, along with the food just being meh for me didn't seem...

Personally wasn't a fan of the oat milk cappuccino I got here. The milk wasn't really the right texture barely any foam. Came here mainly for beans and grabbed ones that had fruit notes according to both the bag and the barista but honestly these smell very under roasted and like peanut husks to my nose. I haven't been able to get a great extraction off them yet.

I did get the beans like the day after roast date so we will see how they are after offgassing a tad. Just wasn't really impressed with anything I tried here unfortunately. The beans are really pricy and they're doing the classic shrinkflation 10oz bags do it stings even harder. The barista and environment were quite...

I don’t know what’s up with Denver cafes not having a way to heat up pastries.

Here’s what we got: chocolate chip cookie jalapeño cheddar challah

When asked if both could be heated up, we were told they didn’t have a way to do so since they’re baked fresh daily - what does that have to do with anything? Both the challah and cookie were still cold and somewhat flavorless because of the temp.

Rather than staying at the coffee shop and potentially purchasing more items, we had to go back to the hotel to heat up the pastries.

My wife got the seasonal Glamour Shots for coffee. Pretty refreshing.

18.83 for everything....
