A great gathering place that serves Pablo's coffee and offers innumerable nooks and crannies for working (DU is close by), chatting, or just lounging with your canine friend. The service can vary widely, from the quirky to the laidback to the super-friendly to the downright mean, but of course, this never deters the regulars, whether it's people from the surrounding neighborhood or stressed DU students. I'm giving it three stars only because I don't go often enough, and when I do, it's always packed. Take what you like from that assessment. I'm sure I'd frequent it if I lived closer. cafe cozy south_pearl electic wifi neighborhood cafe wash_park coffee 39.6898002625 -104.9800033569 Thu, 13 Nov 2008 03:00:28 +0100 http://tupalo.com/spot/839-stellas-denver-co-usa http://tupalo.com/spot/21463-common-grounds-denver-co-usa c Reviews ostensibly come with biases, right? I'll always have a soft spot for Common Grounds, the coffeeshop of my adolescence, back when the immediate area was yet to be baptized "Highland Square," and deemed the Park Slope of Denver, back when nobody brought their Macbooks anywhere! And as with similarly low-paying jobs, there seems to be a constant turnover of baristas, and one can note a significant change in attitude. Oh, right, I was supposed to review the positive aspects of the coffeeshop, right? They've still got the comfortable chairs and ample board games for those who arrive technically challenged. I'm sure the cakes taste just as good, too, but last time I was there, I noticed that the was no IBC Rootbeer in stock. cafe casual highlands neighborhood 39.762127 -105.03424 Thu, 30 Oct 2008 21:06:50 +0100 http://tupalo.com/spot/21463-common-grounds-denver-co-usa http://tupalo.com/spot/906-cafe-europa-denver-co-usa c I agree with the Cowboy--Cafe Europa IS a nice spot, with an unassuming exterior but tasteful interior and offering very comfortable seating of various shapes and sizes. Since I've only partaken in their coffee drinks, I can only vouch for those, my favorite being the "Dark Toffee" which is a mocha with toffee syrup and dark chocolate powder by Ghirardelli. The "Florentine," which is half coffee, half hot chocolate isn't too bad, either. Soy milk can be yours for a little extra. cafe wifi cafe neighborhood relaxing wash_park_west tea 39.7151985168 -104.9810028076 Thu, 07 Aug 2008 17:13:21 +0200 http://tupalo.com/spot/906-cafe-europa-denver-co-usa http://tupalo.com/spot/836-common-grounds-denver-co-usa c Every neighborhood has a coffeeshop (or a dozen) like this. This is the one of my adolescence, so I have very fond memories of it. Local art, local musicians--shoo, even the Hills (Clinton) stopped by many moons ago. I went by recently and while they still have the same cozy seats and the same tasty drinks, it had a very different vibe, lots of upper middle-class folks at their laptops. Well, the change is in both me and the neighborhood, so I shouldn't complain, and Common Grounds has seen a lot over the years. casual cafe nonpretentious neighborhood west_highland 39.7621002197 -105.0329971313 Sat, 12 Jul 2008 06:49:40 +0200 http://tupalo.com/spot/836-common-grounds-denver-co-usa http://tupalo.com/spot/1841-sunflower-farmers-market-denver-co-usa Jimboblove I love shopping here.. the meat department guys give me tips on how to cook it when I get home..

This usually includes the Cheesman, a strawberry cheesecake concoction dedicated to the neighborhood in which its located and the lovely park where you can take a stroll, dessert in hand. For me, five stars says a whole lot; I love Liks so much that I visit throughout the whole year, whether during a blustery winter or an indian summer. And of course, it would garner an extra star if they offered options for our vegan friends. cafe cheesman_park neighborhood ice_cream ice cream 39.7368011475 -104.9629974365 Mon, 30 Apr 2007 07:07:17 +0200 http://tupalo.com/spot/1355-liks-denver-co-usa http://tupalo.com/spot/1351-7th-ave-cafe-denver-co-usa c cafe coffee neighborhood capitol_hill 39.7273864746 -104.9836044312 Mon, 30 Apr 2007 06:53:59 +0200 http://tupalo.com/spot/1351-7th-ave-cafe-denver-co-usa http://tupalo.com/spot/1344-cafe-caliente-denver-co-usa c cafe coffee neighborhood west_highland 39.7621459961 -105.0358734131 Mon, 30 Apr 2007 05:40:55 +0200 http://tupalo.com/spot/1344-cafe-caliente-denver-co-usa http://tupalo.com/spot/1168-buzz-filler-up-cafe-denver-co-usa c Just catty-corner from the Esquire, Buzz is small, cozy, and quaint--just the way I like it. Owners are very friendly and serve Ethiopian coffee for either walk-in or drive-thru customers. Yes! This is one of the few non-Starbucks I know with a driver-thru. After all, the cafe has been converted from a garage, which adds to its charm. Outdoor seating popular on sunny weekend afternoons. The only negative is that the cafe is not open too late (til 6 on weekdays, I believe). cozy wifi coffee cafe neighborhood nonpretentious capitol_hill 39.7256011963 -104.9729995728 Fri, 30 Mar 2007 22:34:34 +0200 http://tupalo.com/spot/1168-buzz-filler-up-cafe-denver-co-usa http://tupalo.com/spot/910-julia-blackbird-denver-co-usa c restaurant new_mexican neighborhood lunch west_highland 39.7621002197 -105.0329971313 Thu, 08 Mar 2007 14:35:46 +0100 http://tupalo.com/spot/910-julia-blackbird-denver-co-usa http://tupalo.com/spot/907-haneys-coffee-shop-denver-co-usa c coffee cafe neighborhood berkeley 39.7697982788 -105.0350036621 Thu, 08 Mar 2007 14:29:21 +0100 http://tupalo.com/spot/907-haneys-coffee-shop-denver-co-usa http://tupalo.com/spot/905-gelmans-denver-co-usa c restaurant sunnyside bistro neighborhood deli 39.7692985535 -105.0230026245 Thu, 08 Mar 2007 14:23:07 +0100 http://tupalo.com/spot/905-gelmans-denver-co-usa
