Okay...you're searching for a coffee shop in the Highlands Ranch area. But not just any coffee shop cause you could easily drive any street and find a gas station coffee or its equivalent at that place with the green mermaid logo.

And you want a place where the coffee drinks are fresh, well served, and accompanied by snacks you know did not come from a bargain big box store.
