There are better, but there are also wayyy worse, so this isn’t a bad spot. The matcha was a little weak for my taste. The dirty chai go the job done. Service is always very prompt and attentive. Prices are fair. There are inside and patio spots to sit at. I’d come back if I’m in the area.

Good coffee. They have great spicy chai. Not a fan of their tumeric late. They have a list of fun specialties as well as most typical coffee drinks. They do have kombucha (mermaid brand), Italian soda (flavored sparkling water), and a list of teas. Food wise they have burritos and baked goods.

The coffee deserves a 6/5 rating. It was omg delicious, best coffee I’ve had eveeeer the banana bread was too sugary in my opinion but the quality was great. Awesome little coffee spot for awesome coffee.Covid guidelines: obviously wear a mask. I like that they have signs on the table to mark if they are dirty or not. The signs on the door are also helpful and what I liked the best is that right at the register it explained how to use those table cards to help them identify which tables need to be cleaned.I wish I was able to drink this coffee on a daily basis.

Such a fun atmosphere and great coffee. I love that they have late hours that suit both studying and date nights. The front area is a bit louder and busy while the back is very quiet, so you can socialize or read peacefully.

Great local coffeehouse always with wonderful house-made drinks. Oat milk is an option, and everyone is relatively quiet and respectful of the coffeehouse vibe!

The barista that was there was very helpful and knew her stuff. She went more in depth about the flavor I like for my drink. That made the experience much more than any regular coffee shop.

One of the best coffee shops in Denver. So much space to do work or just hangout with a friend, PLUS they are open late! Some of the best Lattes I have had. Their Matcha Latte is very unique and so tasty. Staff is extremely kind. Just a great energy overall.

Best coffee shop in Denver. The espresso is delicious, as are the pastries. The baristas are helpful and friendly, especially Kurt. There is a lot of seating, and the furniture is comfortable. On top of all of this, they play cool music. Its easy to hang out there for hours.

I stopped in for a cup of coffee after i was at the pet shop next door. Thinking they were pet friendly due to the jar of biscuits sitting by the register but they werent. my mistake for thinking they were pet friendly. However the barista was incredibly rude about it...coffee was also trash, bitter and cold like their barista.

The best. We visit a few times a week and spend waaaaay too much money on coffee but its worth every penny, because the drinks and the baristas just make every day better. Also, it is delicious enough to get a toddler hooked on coffee. My three year old always sneaks sips of my no-sugar cortado and ends up drinking most of it.

The staff is really nice and the coffee is good. My only gripe is that I have to make a purchase every two hours in order to continue using the internet. I totally understand having to make the initial purchase and in all honesty, sitting there long enough id probably by another coffee anyways. I just dont appreciate that I have to continue buying things when I know ill need the internet for a few hours.

Review №17

I came here for the first time, and it was okay but not my favorite study/coffee shop I’ve tried so far.Pros: I do like their late night hours (open till 12am).Cons: You have to purchase a drink every 2 hours in order to be able to use their Wi-Fi. Once you use up your two hours, you don’t get access to Wi-Fi unless you buy another drink. Also, their chai tea wasn’t really my favorite.- Also, I am all about eco-friendly and waste saving, but I do wish they’d give an option to have paper cups to drink out of as well. They served me my drink in a mug that looked a little old, and it stirred up my germaphobia lol But I do appreciate their eco-friendly methods!

A very no-frills coffee shop! Whether you’re hanging out or grabbing on the go it is exactly the perfect combo of coffee and assorted bites for many people. They have microwave burritos, sandwiches, and pastries to compliment any beverage choice. WFH people - they have a printer in the back ;)

Great coffee, and eats. Nice relaxed casual atmosphere, and great place to work, meet friends, work alone, or help a friend get business done on a laptop, indoors or on patio. Wifi free with purchase. WiFi seemed slow, and bogged down sometimes, but it was a Monday, So I assumed internet traffic was heavy. Place appears to be cleaned continually, and comfortable. Staff, patrons, and management, are all engaging, friendly, and constantly aware of surroundings!

Seriously the best baristas in Denver! They handel their craft consistently well and while holding conversation with us customers. Every time the drinks are perfect. Bardo has great quality products and an array of breakfast items to pair with your favorite drinks. This is the stuff worth driving for if you dont live nearby.Thank you for being the absolute best!

The Bardo Coffee House is a really cool coffee shop on South Broadway that I highly recommend you check out. Whether its for a quick pick-me-up or a place to post up and work from, it’s perfect.I ordered a quad espresso machiatto with brown sugar and a homemade bacon, egg, cheese, and green chile burrito that was DELICIOUS! They also have other food items on the menu such as pastries and bagels.Check it out!

It’s about time I reviewed this place. Always a relaxed and conversational vibe, and some of the baristas get creative if you ask them for their signature drink. Coffee is good, and I also recommend the chocolate cherry bread if you’re looking for something sweet.

Review №31

This coffee house is my favorite in Denver to visit AM or PM! I usually get the Iced Rose Lavender with Breve Latte.. its not for those on a diet..lol...This isnt ran like a Starbucks or fast-food service. So sometimes you have to decide to have patience when waiting in line. And if youre going to wait, talk with the Barista. Engage with them. They are friendly human beings. After all, conversation is what goes great with coffee....er, umm... tea? Anyway-Theyre worth it. The atmosphere, the grind, the time. Enjoy!-Aly

Review №32

I had a large spicy Chai. Not sure if that counts as real coffee but it was delicious nonetheless! Due to lack of available seating, I had to sit outside until something became available. I just kept thinking how nice one of those tall heaters would have been. If it werent for the gusts of wind, it wouldnt have been bad. Once I was able to sit inside I could really enjoy the visit a lot more. This seems like a popular choice for students as most of the tables either had laptops or books lining them with hard working students.

This place is awesome! They have nice seating areas, including tables and booths which I feel like are uncommon at coffee shops. Its very cozy. The coffee is delicious! I got the Latte Bardo and it had just the right amount of sweetness and flavor, not to overpower the espresso. Ill definitely be back!

Review №35

Very chill atmosphere for the whole shop. Many people either discussing things over a coffee or getting work done on their laptops with the FREE WIFI provided. The barista greeted everyone who came in the door with genuine intent, and was very patient when helping us with our order. Extremely inclusive environment with gender neutral bathrooms. The coffee itself had a fulfilling flavor, and the chai actually had a choice between spicy or sweet. We also loved the vegan breakfast burritos we had to pair with our drinks! If you live in Denver or if you’re just passing through, COME HERE!!! (Side note - When the barista was putting our salsa in the to-go bags, he did a sick trick with the little salsa containers, very fun to watch.)

It wasnt very clear that you have to get a new Wi-Fi password every 2 hours, and they will only give it to you if you make another purchase. Also you have to make sure you get your unique password when youre AT THE COUNTER purchasing something, otherwise they wont give it to you. A barista made that very clear to me today :(

I was looking for somewhere with a decent choice for breakfast and discovered this gem. I’m vegetarian, so there were several good options for me too. The service is friendly and efficient. Both of our meals were very tasty, hot and of great quality. Tea and coffee were great quality too. This is somewhere we will return to soon.

Review №47

This coffee shop is one of my favorite late night coffee shops in the area. It has the perfect dim lighting for people who just want to have a cozy, relaxed evening. In addition, they have some interesting drinks. When it is cold out, the seating can occasionally be sort of challenging to come by since it is a fairly popular late night coffee shop. Overall, I would definitely take friends here.

I prefer my matcha lattes slightly bitter and thats how they make it here (most places make them a bit too sweet for my taste). Staff was upbeat, and they had plenty of signs and COVID precautions in place. There was a line - looks like this place is popular - but my drink still came out in a timely manner.

On a long drive and sister and I desperately needed a place for vegan breakfast open super early. Enter Bardos! I’ll be honest I was hungry, tired, and a little cranky and let my sister pick out our order. The vegan breakfast burrito was soooo good. I don’t even know what all was in it but it was amazing! The latte was also seriously one of the best I’ve had in a while. Feel fortunate to have found this diamond in the rough. I’ll be coming here for breakfast every time I’m in Denver. (Also had amazing vegan sweets for a snack for later!)

This coffee shop is my favorite place to hang and do my work. I love this place because it was so quiet, cozy, and not too crowded. The coffees and pastries that they had were so delicious. My favorite coffee in this shop was the 3-shots of espresso. I really love the coffee in this shop. The barista was so pleasant and very friendly. Highly recommended coffee shop.

Great cafe to sit and have a cup of coffee! I came here for the first time a few weeks ago and had a great experience. The shop is a hidden gem and has great indoor dining as well as outdoor tables. They use and carry Kaladi Coffee which definitely shows in the quality of coffee they pour! They have many different pastry options, I’d personally recommend the pumpkin bread. The baristas were incredibly welcoming, helpful and conversational. Great find right on Broadway!

Great coffee shop. I took away a couple stars because Kaladi isnt as good as it used to be. Im glad to support local coffee but Kaladi has fallen off from the quality it used to be so coffee shops that still serve it unfortunately have also lowered their quality.Upgrade your coffee and upgrade your reviews:)

Absolutely lovely shop. The Dente was so good! Think mocha with orange and cinnamon. Pastries were also all killer. 4 cheese pull apart was hot and just fun to eat. And the raspberry bar is the stuff dreams are made of, not too sweet, a little tangy and perfect with coffee. And best of all theyre local #betterthanstarbucks Oh, and every shop on this block looks interesting, this is an awesome neighborhood to spend an afternoon.

I went here after reading it’s a great place to study during covid and it is. It does pick up around 11 or so but there’s so much seating outside too and they have outlets and WiFi out there. You must make a purchase every two hours to keep WiFi which I’m more than happy to do. My first drink was a spicy chai and pumpkin oat bread... solid but then I was recommended a black iced tea with lavender for my second purchase... wow this is delicious. Great place.

Amazing local coffee shop. Staff is super friendly, prices are reasonable, and the coffee and baked goods are delicious. They take COVID seriously, and they have a great system of signs on tables showing if a table has been sanitized after a previous guest. Even with social distancing, there is plenty of seating between the front patio, inside, and the back patio.

Bardo is awesome. I love the comfy and cozy vibe. I havent gone here as often since COVID started, and I really miss it! I worked from home even in the before times, and it was definitely one of my go-to places when I needed a change of scenery from my work desk at home. Long live Bardo!

Bardo is def a student coffee place. Its always got hip music playing, and has a lot of books to tuck away in. Non-covid its pretty spacious, seating ~20 tables. Now its around 8-9, so come early.

Review №94

Walked in this morning (Sept 6th, 2020) and the place was fairly empty with only 1 other person in line. I had my service dog with me and normally I have my ADA card to show that she is a service dog but I forgot it at the hotel (from out of state). The worker asked me if she was a service dog and I replied yes. He said to what disability is she servicing?. I told him that my disability was none of his business and that I have documentation but forgot it at the hotel. He then told me he MUST know or else you can leave. So against my better judgement I went ahead and told him I was a 100% disabled combat veteran and she is primarily used as emotional support for severe PTSD. He then snickered at me but left it alone after that. Note: he argued this with me all while helping another customer. As soon as he was done helping the other customer I moved to the counter to be served. As soon as he returned to help me he said you need to wear your mask properly before I can serve you.. My mask was covering my mouth but the top was sitting on the tip of my nose rather than on the brim, NOT an issue ANYWHERE else Ive ever gone before. This guy just had it out for me since the very second I walked into the coffee shop with my service dog. So I told him that he was being unprofessional and I refused to do business with them at that point. On my way out the door he felt like he needed the last word and said you and your dog can get coffee somewhere else. and laughed. 100% completely uncalled for and very unprofessional. Im not from Denver and cant say Ill return, but I feel like future patrons need to be aware on how this place conducts business.

$3.50 for a 16 oz. cup of watered down coffee, no place to sit inside so I had to sit outside in the cold and inhale exhaust gas and cigarette smoke.Next time Im going to Mickey Ds one block down the street for $1.00 16 oz. coffees with a free refill and plenty of indoor seating.

Found this place last week and loved it! Got an oatmilk latte and a muffin and they didnt burn the oatmilk which is important to me since a lot of times places burn alternative milks and it ruins the drink. Nice to see a local place open late, especially during COVID. Ill definitely be visiting this place often and cant wait to check it out when stuff starts to reopen.
