Very fresh food. Made with extreme care and dedication. I would call this a local treasure. No dine inside option at the moment but you can eat on the patio.

I would give this 2.5 stars… my order was wrong (ordered light mayo and it was smothered in mayo that the bread was a little soggy) and there was barely any mozzarella on it :( it was mostly tomato and mayo… I was expecting so much more based on reviews! Also portions are mediocre… for the price it should come with a bag of chips or some sorta side. Left me hungry!Friend’s order was good but really simple for the price (turkey and tapenade on bread, and my sandwich and one tea for almost $30 with tip…) but i understand it’s the area of Denver.Order took 15-20 min which was weird considering it wasn’t too busy.Contrary to other reviews the staff seemed friendly enough!

A nice little sandwich shop. The guy behind the counter (you get blond ) was super nice.Food came out fast and was pretty tasty. I did find the prosciutto a little too salty even for prosciutto . I had the Bukin .The server (female longer dark)? hair efficient but not particularly friendly or nice even tho she forgot the drink.I liked it and think the prices are typical for the area and reasonable.

This is a great place to get your coffee and breakfast. I got myself a Mocha Cafe 16 Oz. The prices are reasonable. You can additional shots for just 50 cents more, which is great value.Their burritos are very well made and delicious. This is place highly recommended. Their barista, Annie, was extremely kind and friendly.P.S. They have very strong wifi.

Food and drinks were phenomenal. Our issue was with the customer service. The guy at the register wearing the French beret was rude. My girlfriend ordered a burrito with bacon and he said it wasn’t available. She instead ordered a panini and she asked if she could add avocado and before she could finish he blurted “oh my god” and rolled his eyes. It made both of us feel so uncomfortable as if we were inconveniencing him for having to press an extra button to add avocado. Near the end of the transaction he realized the disrespect he had given and made a statement, “it gets hectic on Saturday’s, sorry I’m an asshole”. Such an uncomfortable conversation.

I’ve been to this place 5 times and due to the high rating I kept thinking I was having one off bad experiences. I have reasonable expectations for a small coffee shop. Every time had been either bad or at least a little off putting. Most times employees have seemed rushed and were rude. Twice when I walked in I was rudely yelled at to leave and only one person in at a time due to social distancing. I understand the limit but it’s difficult to see how many people are in there and rudely yelling is unnecessary. The food is bad and takes FOREVER! It appears they literally just microwave their breakfast sandwiches and burritos and it TAKES no less that 15 minutes for them to make it. My “the usual” breakfast sandwich was like half an egg, about a millimeter of ham in a hamburger bun. Breakfast burritos are small and are hot like lava from the microwave. The coffee is fine but also takes like twice the amount of time other coffee shops take to make. End of day, I’m shocked by the good rating because there are many superior coffee spots nearby.

One of the best caramel lattes I’ve had in Denver. Amazing sandwiches and pastries, and the staff were so nice. Highly recommend this place!!!

Review №10

We’ve been here a few times. Sandwiches and coffee are pretty good - service is okay. We’ve had 2 bad experiences out of maybe 5 visits.Once we walked in on an employee angrily talking to a customer which made us and others uncomfortable - hard to tell who was right or wrong in the instanceNext time we had an order get forgotten - one sandwich came out but not our other. When we asked about it, they got mad at us saying they had a ton of orders. That’s fine, but we’d like our sandwiches to come out together. Another 10 minutes later the other sandwich came out and it was incorrect… it was a duplicate of the first sandwich. We didn’t care to argue with the angry blonde employee and get the right one… probably won’t be back for a while

I will not claim to be a coffee connoisseur but this place serves incredible coffee. I had the latte and it was smooth, rich, and flavorful. The sandwich was equally delicious! I highly recommend.

During our visit the employee at the front counter was not friendly. Did not greet or acknowledge us, acted like we were bothering them by being there. Maybe they were just having a bad day but it made my wife and I feel unwelcome

Best coffee shop in Denver! I stopped in randomly just looking for WiFi and boy was I treated with a great surprise! I had an americano and the crustone (with fig jam and goat cheese). It was sublime! Great place to get some work done and enjoy a nice afternoon treat. I’ll definitely be back!

This place is a neighborhood coffee shop that I really wanted to love more than I did. The employees were extremely rude and pretentious. Would come here all the time if it weren’t for the employees and their bad attitudes.

Review №22

Extremely Rude!!I order a Chai. While I was waiting for my drink, I was looking up maps on my phone to find directions (it was my first time in the area). Anyways, when the lady finished making my drink, she slammed it on the table and then said “Hey! You Gotta Pay”.That was extremely rude and out of no where. I was standing right there, I didn’t go anywhere, and I didn’t take the drink and run away.The experience left a bad taste on my mouth. How can you be so rude to your customers??

I live close by, and recently discovered this cafe. Ive been for both breakfast and lunch, and could not recommend this place more. LoHi has a lot of great food options, but Maci Cafe is approaching the top of my list. For breakfast -- the Spicado with Swiss. For lunch -- the Crudello. 10/10 would recommend. Im going to end up going here at least 2-3 times a week.

We ordered the egg, avocado, and roasted red pepper breakfast sandwich and the ham and cheese quiche. Delicious flavor, however the quiche was small and light on the fillings on the sandwich. Portion size was the only aspect keeping this from a perfect 5-star rating.

Came in around 12:45 on a cloudy Thursday afternoon and was met with cheery staff ready to help me as a first timer.After being overwhelmed with options, I got a large quinoa oat bowl with strawberries, banana, honey, and pecans for around $8. Hit the spot just right.Great place for a quick bite and healthy meal in a fun little shop with some outdoor and window seating. Would highly recommend.

Delicious sandwiches and panini. Pleasantly surprised every time. Veggie options are very very good. Coffee is excellent also.The place is generally quiet (when it’s not busy) as there is no music. So actually very good also for work as there are relatively few distractions and little background noise

Best panini sandwiches in the neighborhood. My go to is usually a hurry prosciutto sandwich as well as a 16 oz iced mocha/or iced matcha latte for a late morning/mid afternoon pick me up. Massimo and his team are absolutely wonderful, and its the only place I really go to anymore for my panini craving fix.

Review №56

Pretty darn good! I came back a second time because I enjoyed the breakfast sandwhich and iced latte I got here. The sandwhich is honestly too light on the fillings, I cant imagine anyone would disagree with me on this. The price is cheap but Id expect most would pay a dollar or two more for an actual sandwhich. But I just ask for extra cheese, avacado/etc. The place does remind me of a college hangover cure kinda vibe and the service is fine/meh. But Ill be back because the food is still four stars!

Great little cafe. I was working around the corner and stopped in for some caffine. Great price point (inexpensive) for a generous (and very delicious) iced coffee. The aesthetic is very humble and you can tell that it is a neighborhood favorite.

I’m visiting colorado & Ive had a few different coffee places while visiting here but THIS ONE HAS THE BEST ICE CARMEL MACCHIATO ( Fort Worth, Tx ) where I’m from doesn’t have that many coffee shops So normally Starbucks is my go to I wish I could bring Maci Cafe with me back to Texas! The coffee isn’t too strong making the drink bitter but also it’s not too sweet.

Amazing! My husband and I were visiting and wanted a light lunch. We passed this little cafe that had specialty coffee drinks and paninis. It wasnt crowded and we decided to give it a chance. Wow! Im glad we did! Best panini, actually, best sandwich we have ever had! How can a small Cafe make such an amazing panini? Who cares, as long as they keep doing it. This was the one place I wanted to go back to. Unfortunately, we didnt have time, but I havent stopped thinking about this place and WILL get back one day. I would recommend this to anyone!

This is one of 3 coffee shops I frequently visit and I have never been disappointed. Atmosphere invites you to stay a while. Baristas make you feel at home. Their panini are simple yet delicious, the meat is perfect, with just the right amount of cheese and leafy greens. Lattes are always on point and somehow are made exactly what I need for the day (more sweet or less sweet). The owner is always around and makes it a point to engage, ask questions, and follow up from previous conversations. A+ shop all around. Love you guys!
