Perfect place to enjoy some of the highest quality coffee and best variety of fresh, in house, baked goods. I’ve enjoyed Hooked for their coffee and delicious bites for more than ten years. They offer such a unique space to enjoy or grab and go. Supporting local businesses that support community is important to me. Highly recommend if it is important to you.

Great place to unwind and relax your nerves. They have amazing cold brew which my friend ordered. I personally liked how creamy and tasty their lattes are. Love the vibe! A+ for the clean place, clean restroom!

Well I went in to get a iced matcha latte, and the first one was too sweet. It was my fault tho cause I asked for too much sweetener. So I kindly asked to have it remade and the guy was super chill, but as he was making it and putting the ice, i think he saw something on one of the cubes… and he literally stuck his fingertip in to get it out. I will never return. If you want proper sanitary measures I’d go to the Starbucks down the street.

Staff there gave me the highest degree of disrespect. I dont dress like a hipster Denverite so they ignored me for the first 5 minutes despite me being the only person there, then gave me such curt hospitality that I didnt feel welcomed. They gave me a to go cup even though I informed them I would be dining in, then utterly disregarded me when I asked about the history of the cafe. I was incredibly excited to go their and their staff made me regret that joy

Good coffee. Artsy atmosphere. Inside and outside seating, front and back. Good lattes. They have cards, mugs, t shirts and art for sale. Food is tough to eat so dont go for that.

Hooked on Colfax is a great spot to buy coffee, tea, breakfast snacks and fun gifts. They display art from local artists and it is always wonderful. The art displayed changes often, so if you see something you like, buy it right then!

Visiting Denver for the week and it’s been my favorite place to stop in for coffee + homemade pastry during the day. Lovely back patio (with WiFi) for enjoying the nice weather. The GF pastries are delicious and will have you saying “are we sure this is GF?!”

After many years, Im done with Hooked. Will get my coffee & pastry from the other neighborhood coffee shops. Today was the last straw. The Cranberry scone was all dry powder in the middle, and seemed to be days old. Ive loved the staff and their great service, good coffee, great location. Have had several conversations about their baked goods being sparse and quirky (lots of lavender, ginger, gluten-free (old)). They really dont care anymore. Theyre too much into themselves at this point. Only management, staff and/or baker changes can help them now.

A great cafe that has a lot to offer. I just had the coffee and it was delicious. But theres food and alcohol as options as well. Its got a great vibe with cool art on the walls and the bathroom is clean and a cool mural too. The staff is friendly and efficient. Id highly recommend this coffeehouse.

The place is cozy when seating opens up again. Staff was not friendly or helpful when asked for lids or sleeves for our drinks. The chai latte was ok but not the best. And where’s the rest of my drink?

Review №12

Ive been going to Hooked for years now. Theyve got delicious tea, coffee and baked goods. You can also get some wine and beer here, if you fancy it. In the before-times, they hosted fun events that I would frequent. They also have art, knick-knacks and other little gifts. Mom and pop space owned by fantastic people! Give them a visit!

I just had a warm decadent vegan matcha chocolate chip muffin and an amazing mocha with house made chocolate. Theres also a gender neutral restroom and nice staff, with optional outdoor seating.Will absolutely make this a morning favorite when I stop by Denver.

Espresso drinks are good here. The barista takes pride in her work and the balance between coffee and cream is very good in this cortado. The staff are very friendly and the location is cute. Parking can be difficult on Colfax though. Ill be back.

Review №15

Only giving a 5 star for the girl with the sacred geo mask. She seems to be the only one that’s actually nice and respectful that works there. The other 2 - or however many people that work with her - need to smoke a bowl or something and stop being such negative Nancy’s.Cheer up buttercups. I wanna support your business but y’all make it hard.

Review №16

Ill admit it, their little sandwich board lured me inside with promises of coffee, booze, and gifts! Hooked On Colfaxs open space is wonderful, yet cozy. I browsed their small items (art prints, mugs, t-shirts, wine, and notebooks) before settling on a beautiful candle. It is the perfect gift for the holiday season it doesnt feel cheap or tacky. I also ordered a drip coffee with oat milk, incredibly tasty & brewed to perfection. The staff was really friendly & there is even a little fireplace near the front of shop. 10/10!

Great spot with some unique specialties in addition to the usual coffee shop classics. Ample seating, cool vibes, and a space for community groups to utilize. Staff was friendly and prompt.Only negative thing has been some issues with the WiFi being slow or not working. Not a big deal to me, but if you are trying to work it could be annoying.

Awesome inside and outside seating. The service Ive noticed is usually stereotypical barista, meaning, not much eye contact or smiling. Otherwise this place is way cool and Ill definitely always come back. They do have Gluten Free food options which is a huge bonus!

Absolutely love this place. A fantastic selection of coffee, tea, and alcohol beverages. There are two separate basements. To the left side is more hard chairs and tables; Great for focus and study. The right side has large leather couches and tables; The best place to lounge casually and enjoy a drink with a friend. Open late, host to interesting artists, as well as diverse events. One of my favorite places in Denver!

Great chocolate chip cookie. Cold water. And really cool space. I come to coffee shops to chill with friends and not drink coffee so atmosphere and food matter to me. Hooked on Colfax did a good job at both of those. They have stairs in the back of their space, a set on each side, that leads down to more space. I loved it. Want to come again

Very friendly staff. Coffee was made fast, its light roast. I headed into their basement seating. They have blood red couches and a velvet ceiling it got a comfortable if not slightly creepy vibe. I went to meet up with some old friends and it was empty enough that we were comfortable to catch up and crack jokes openly. I would absolutely go back.

Review №58

Great coffee shop, Ive spent a lot of time here studying and working on my laptop. Good coffee and a full selection of teas. Theyre open later than most shops, which is helpful for procrastinators lime myself, and probably for the best since they serve alcohol too. Perfect for when you get on a roll and decide its time to switch to wine ;).Theres a variety of seating depending on your needs: sunsoaked tables at the front of the shop for catching up with friends, booths for study parties, individual seating if you just need to get some work done, and a downstairs space for that basement of the library on a deadline feel.I also love that they support local art. They display a new artists work every month or so, which helps keep the space fresh and gives what Im sure is a much needed shout-out to some talented people on the come up.Do yourself a favor and try an independent coffee shop. And try their mate latte, its tasty.

Always a wonderfully chill place to have a coffee, with a large local brewery selection with some craft liquors as well. The Monkey Poo smoothie is a personal favorite, as is the iced caramel latte. If theyre baking, the whole place smells like muffins and warm dough, especially wonderful on a cold winter morning. Its sometimes hard to find a spot because its so popular, but mid afternoon usually works best. The two downstairs rooms are also usually unoccupied to a large extent.

Its a Denver institution whose chai I happen to appreciate. Hooked on Colfax is also a good, spacious location for meeting friends, clients, or dates. Try the Monkey Poo if youre feeling adventurous 😏. I would recommend better vegan goods; the fare in the display case is dry and bitter tasting more often than Id like to remember.

Great food and coffee selection, craft cocktails and beer and wine list! Its a comfortable place to have a meeting, study or meet up for a drink before a show at the Bluebird Theater. They also have fun events throughout the week.

Review №73

Hooked checks a lot of boxes for the clientele they attract: locally owned, free WiFi, conducive to meetings/conversation, and fast service that isnt rude or pretentious. The biggest reason I make it a point to go regularly is that they tend to select interesting artists to show and the prices are budget friendly.In addition to the coffee, they make good smoothies. I like to sit close to the windows and take in some people watching on East Colfax. Its next to the Bluebird Theater so you might see performers getting caffeinated before their soundcheck.As more people and businesses move into this area, parking is harder than it used to be (some side streets are restricted to residents only during certain hours) but during the day you can always find a free 2 hour parking spot on Colfax within a block or two.

Review №74

I have to say I’m definitely not their audience. But if you’re looking for a hip place to sit and drink coffee and don’t mind paying a lot more than you should for a small cup of coffee than you should definitely check this place out. Way better than Starbucks

Great coffee and really great prices. Coming from the PNW, I can never find coffee that matches that part of the country, but Hooked on Colfax is wonderful! The location makes for a great place to people watch, but is also the perfect atmosphere to sit and get some work done. The staff is extremely talented at what they do and very friendly. I wish I lived closer to this place so it could be my regular shop!

Good coffee and burritos, there are two sides and both have basement rooms if it seems crowded. One side has couches and the other has a bunch of tables and chairs. Its much quieter downstairs, its a great place to get some work done while sipping your coffee/latte/smoothie/whatever. For an awesome caffeinated combo ask for the money poo smoothie with a shot of espresso.

Review №82

Ive lived in the neighborhood for over 5 years now and Ive been coming to this shop since the very beginning. The owners Scott and Melissa are great, you can tell that they have a real love and appreciation for coffee they serve. They partner with a couple different roasters and offer light and dark roast espresso. Upstairs is lively and bright with a garage door that opens up to the patio outside and theres a great seating area in the back that feels secluded even though its right off Colfax. The downstairs has an atmosphere thats perfect for studying. Hooked is probably my favorite coffee shop in Denver because of the quality of the coffee they produce and their unpretentious, welcoming vibe.

Review №83

If you would like you coffee with a large cup of attitude, then Hooked is your place. Every time I go I hope the employees will be happy, talkative or smile, though that has never been the case. There are two parts to a good coffee house, the first if the coffee, the second is the vibe. The vibe at Hooked sucks and just wait until the staff treats you poorly then gives you the stink eye after waiting 10min for an coffee and not leaving a tip... There are better choices for coffee in the neighborhood.

Love the place, love the mac-ed up register too!However, that stuff aside, the place is super cozy and homey. Totally the place to go if you want to get some work done or chat a little. Two thumbs up for the staff as well, super friendly (Thursday Morning 11:30 right now). The coffee is good as well nice and strong, bold flavor, love it - totally not burned to death unlike the stuff Starbucks has down the street. Did I mention they have got awesome cups!? They totally personalize the experience. Keep up the good work guys.

Five stars for the following: customer service (patient, good recommendation, etc.) and a rooibos tea latte. Have only been once but will go back. Has nice table space for working and booth style for more privacy. My friend was disappointed in the spicy chai latte she had. Im interested in trying their food and coffee. No parking but that is standard in the location. Decent/normal prices.

I loved the feel of this place, and the location. The coffee was 4 stars but the breakfast burrito was SO good, with their home made salsa, I got to give it a five.Seating can be hard to come by; thats one thing to keep in mind. Parking is not very hard a block south of Colfax in this area.

Usually excellent coffee depending on which barista you get. All the ladies have been really friendly, their coffee turns out wonderful and as a bonus, they make pretty designs in your latte. A couple of the guys or maybe it was the same guy both times werent as friendly, but not particularly rude. He just seemed like he didnt want to be there, his coffee didnt taste as good, and you know by his demeanor that youre not getting any designs in your coffee. However, most of the time, the coffee is excellent. Their burritos are great too. Just a nice place to relax. I like that they have extra seating downstairs on both sides.

Absolutely adore Hooked on Colfax!This is a NEIGHBORHOOD coffee place.Parking sucks because you should ride/walk, the drinks take a minute because they are not automated, and things are imperfect because its not a chain.Love the staff, love the changing menu, love the venue and definitely enjoy that its not noisy.Great place to catch up with an old/new friend, do some work, or listen with ear buds.NOT a place to go for a quick anything, predictable menu, perform business and/or talk on your cell.

Hooked on Colfax is one of the best coffee shops in Denver! There is a ton of seating, as they have four different sections, two upstairs seating areas and two downstairs seating areas. The baristas are always very friendly and their coffee is delicious! Plus, they also offer baked goods, like muffins, brownies, and quiches. Hooked on Colfax has a wonderfully relaxed and funky atmosphere. I especially love the music they play!

Hands down my favorite coffee shop in town! Their baristas are top notch and make amazing quality drinks every time! I love that you can also switch to something stronger when the mood strikes. The best part of this place has to be the sense of community it exudes. The staff are all wonderful and there is always a playful and creative energy in the air. If you want quiet they have great seating options in the basements and also a delightful outdoor space in the back. They pay attention to quality in everything including their baked goods. Baked in house, always on hand and always delicious. Overall this is a great coffee shop that I would recommend to anyone and everyone.

Review №99

Nice little coffee shop with a downstairs area that is fairly quiet. Good for groups and has plenty of outlets if youre plugging in computers. They have smoothies, muffins, and bagels in addition to coffee drinks. Parking however is scarce in this area, so unless you live nearby its a bit of a pain. The smoothie I had was a berry one which was okay, nothing special. The person before me got the last 🍌 so I couldnt get the monkey farts one I wanted to try. Maybe next time.

Review №100

Not too shabby as far as the coffee and grub go. Service was pretty good too. My only problem with the place is it felt a bit more like an antifa meeting house than a coffee shop. Free country and all but why does everyone feel the need to attach their politics to their business these days?
