Best of Denver for the specialty coffee enthusiast with a palate fixed towards lighter roasts. Super friendly staff willing to help guide your choices! Love this place. Staple of my home brew rotation and love to stop by for an espresso drinkUpdate 10/13/21: ordered an espresso and watched the barista meticulously grind, pour and time two shots to make sure I was getting a quality spro. 😍Also their bagged coffee is never more than a week old, typically just a few days!

Such a cute hipster coffee shop. The lattes are dope. The staff are nice and courteous. Oat or almond milk alternatives for the lactose intolerant. They also have really neat merch. Recommend stopping by!

While in town, I was in search for the best cup of coffee in Denver. I found it at Sweet Bloom Coffee Roasters. No matter if you want a simple pour over, or a delicately crafted cup - this place is a must.Thank me later!

Great coffee selection, preparation, and execution. Tried an espresso and hand pour of the two Ethiopian coffees available and both were fantastic. Came back a couple days later and got a pour over of a Guatemalan, also fantastic. Love the openness and how you can see the business in action, with people roasting and cooling coffee in one corner, shipping and boxing in another, and doing tests and tasting in another.

This is a great little hole in the wall coffee shop. The decor and atmosphere was very warm and hip and inviting. I thoroughly enjoyed my nitro cold brew with oat milk and vegan cardamom bundt cake.This is definitely a place that I would go to again!

Love this coffee shop. The coffee is so very good, not bitter at all. Their latte is the best I’ve ever had and I even enjoy their drip coffee. Best in the city!Also so grateful to see all their CoVid safety measures. You order at a window with glass between you and staff and just insert your card. Coffee is delivered to avoid outdoor table. Love seeing businesses continue to be open and keeping everyone safe. Win win.

Best. Cup. Of. Coffee. Seriously though the coffee I ordered was probably one of the best cups of coffee I’ve ever had. Although the location is quite unassuming, it is rather cozy in an industrial type of way. There are a couple of tables with chairs and a nice selection of coffee gifts like cups, t-shirts, cards and more. Of course you can also buy different types of coffee beans depending on your taste! I ordered a latte (to go) with the delicious house blend. Choose from regular coffee type of drinks, although they don’t have ice so don’t looks for any iced drinks. If you decide to enjoy your coffee inside you will get front row seats to see the masters at work behind the glass.

I just buy coffee here and make it at home. It is the best coffee I have ever had. I had no idea how important the freshness was to flavor. I had no idea what a naturally processed coffee was. I had no idea I could enjoy coffee this much.Changed my lifeNice people tooAlso, I do like this:pour over with hario v60fairly course grind200 degree water15:1 water to coffee1 minute bloom using about 1/4th of total water3 pours after bloom, total extraction time including bloom should be around 3:30 or a little less.

Nice place off the beaten path. They offer a wide range of roasts. I told the barista what tyoe of coffee I like & what type of drink I like & wha-la I had a tasty drink! They also offer gluten free & vegan pastries which is so great for a gluten free and/or vegan. You should definitely try this place.

Review β„–21

Sweetbloom is the best coffee you can get. I havent found better in any city or state Ive traveled to. The delicate and complex flavors that are found within each cup only come from roasters that are masters of their craft. It is well worth leaving the beaten path to enjoy a cup in their little factory.

Review β„–22

I was excited to try Sweet Bloom, as it was recommended to me by a local friend and had very good online reviews. I walked into their shop this morning with a cheery attitude, and I asked the barista what they enjoyed to drink/what the coffee shop was known for (I feel like this is a common question to ask in the food/drink service industry). The barista proceeded to condescendingly and pretentiously tell me about how this place isnt a starbucks, and they dont offer shots of vanilla and caramel (I hate both, but I guess I give off the vibes that my typical coffee order is an iced caramel macchiato). The barista explained that they wanted the customer to experience the flavor of the coffee. Which was fine by me because I came in exactly for that: a cup of coffee. I settled on a nitro cold brew. The barista then halfheartedly slid the cup of coffee my way, and immediately turned their back on me, not exchanging additional words. The whole time I felt like an inconvenience to the barista--like, how dare you order a cup of coffee at this coffee shop. The nitro cold brew was fine; I would have rather had a crappier cup of coffee from a different place if I could have had a less condescending interaction.

Review β„–23

My wife and I absolutely enjoyed our visit to Sweet Bloom when we were in Denver. The lattΓ© my wife ordered was absolutely perfect and my pour-over was excellent. There isn’t a ton of seating and they were quite busy when we popped in. They were also packaging and finishing some roasting while we were in, so be forewarned that it can get noisy in there! Thankfully there’s some outside seating too, so if the weathers nice that’s a slightly better option for conversation. Overall, highly recommend as there coffee was excellent!

Review β„–24

This is the best local coffee roaster that I am aware of. There are other good ones, but Sweet Bloom is just better. This is the only coffee shop where I will get coffee over espresso. I dont go often because its not in my part of town, but when I am anywhere near there, I definitely stop in.If you are a coffee connoisseur, you have to try this place.

Review β„–25

Best coffee I ever had. Probably the best in the west. I had three different drip coffee that were made to perfection, they count each gram for a perfect cup. The espresso is also nice, not too bitter or burned. From the cafe area the roasters can be seen, beautiful machines! This is not the place if you are in a hurry though, good coffee requires some time.

Review β„–27

Inconspicuous roastery off of W Colfax that has high attention to detail in each cup served. Laid back atmosphere that serves as both a warehouse for their operations and where you can get a fresh cup of coffee. It has the feeling of like visiting a brewery and when the tour is finished you get beer fresh from the line, but no tour here. They have some seating and standing room available to chill but limited. Friendly folks work here too and worth the visit!

Review β„–29

Had espresso and decaf latte.Espresso had beautiful crema and fragrance. It was a bit too fruity for me, but overall it had a good balance.Latte was great also. So creamy and sweet!It was short trip to Denver, and this cafe made the trip so worth it. Can’t wait to visit again.

Review β„–30

Most impressive roaster I’ve ever been to. Very clean cut β€œbrewery” feeling. I pulled the annoying β€œmake me whatever” because I literally could not chose just one roast. Pour over done right in front of you. Very knowledgeable. One cup of El Obraje for around $8.00 but 100% worth it. Tucked in a homey neighborhood.

Sweet Blooms coffee is top notch, not to mention their customer service. I have had issues with packages not arriving and they have went out of their way to get coffee delivered to me which I appreciate a ton. I recommend them to all my out of state friends and family and they all love this company as well.

Review β„–35

This review is specifically for the Lakewood location and doesnt represent the company as a whole. I just dont understand the snobby attitude of the baristas at this location?? Arvada location isnt much better but im hoping the new Westminster spot is down to earth.How hard is it to be friendly to your customers? Especially when you are asking for a tip up front. Good coffee does NOT make up for rude, stuck-up customer service or lack thereof.

Expensive coffee but well worth the price. The roasters are visible as soon as you walk in, so you know youre getting fresh beans. Great place.

Review β„–41

Such incredible coffee in such an unexpected place! This place is a must for any coffee enthusiasts in the area. The staff was deeply knowledgeable about their coffees, sources, and farmers, and passionate in answering all of our queries :) we had one Ethiopian as an espresso and it was an extremely deep and fruit-forward shot, the second ethiopian we had as a coffee (both recommended by the staff) which was a classic and well-executed, delicate but satisfying, drip. Coming from the Boston area, we were delighted to find such great coffee in Denver.

Review β„–43

I found Sweet Bloom through other reviews and wanted to check it out. The location is weird, but I learned it is in part due to zoning limitations from Lakewood. The coffee was excellent and well balanced with different fruit blends depending on the coffee. The vibe is chill with different seating options--mostly high stools-- and it can be noisy with the roasting machinery right there. They have a couple baked goods, but their vendor is closing shop so well see what they switch to. Apparel is also available to purchase. Staff were polite and helpful. Now its one of my favorite local spots!

Review β„–44

Very out of the way place for most Denverites, but well worth the drive! Espresso beverages (specifically my Cortado) are hands down phenomenal.This may honestly be the best coffee shop and roaster in Denver in my opinion. (I cant speak for their drip coffee though.)

Review β„–45

Stopped here twice on our trip to Colorado in January. So glad we did! The cappuccinos were definitely some of the best I’ve ever had. My husband just ordered a surprise delivery of freshly roasted beans for the quarantine, and the coffee is amazing. Thanks for sending beans across the country for us to enjoy since we can’t visit! The coffee is smooth, not bitter, and it’s delicious. Hope we can make it out there again in the future!

Review β„–47

Great option for fresh roasted coffee. Thanks for including a roast date on the bag, would be an added touch to have even a verbal degas period stated. Bought an Ethiopian on the 3rd roasted on the 2nd, coffee started to taste best on the 5th - but would have loved the roasters input on when the optimal window starts. But a simply great roast with dynamic flavors.

Review β„–64

Sweet Bloom in my opinion is one of the best local coffee roasters in the Denver metro area. The beans are always fresh and the staff is very helpful and friendly. Their roaster is right in the middle of the shop so those interested can get a glimpse of the roasting process which is really cool. My go to order is an oak milk latte but the chocolate banana muffins and drip coffee are both solid choices as well. Im sure the rest of the menu is just as tasty, but I havent tried much else because the latte is so dang good. Some might consider it to be a bit expensive for coffee but youre paying for fresh high quality ingredients that I feel is 100% worth it.

This place was amazing! I brought the little girl I nanny with me to get some tea and a sweet snack and the staff was so nice and accommodating. They even had gluten free and vegan bread options which tasted amazing!! As someone who suffers from celiac disease the banana chocolate chip bread was so delicious. The atmosphere is really nice and relaxing. Will come back in the future and bring my friends and family with me.

Quaint little place off the beaten track. Roasting on premises and tastings going on in the back. Looks like a neat place.The staff seemed a little off-put that I wanted to look at the menu.Cappuccino was excellent and artfully done. A nice quiet place. Could use a few more seats though.

Simply the best coffee for leagues and leagues. Over the last several years I have been away from Colorado and try many many times to find local coffee that I like even close to as much only to end up ordering sweet bloom because roasters that can compete with them are few and far between.

Had to rewrite my review. Despite the current circumstances, their customer service (phone, social media, etc) is fantastic. Theyve been super helpful and I love that the site has espresso instructions for their house blend. Its some of the best coffee Ive ever had and havent had to wait curbside pickup for more than a minute. Ive gotta recommend the house blend for anything from espresso to honey lattes.

Absolutely stunning coffees! I didnt know just how good coffee could be on a consistent basis until being introduced to Sweet Bloom.Not only will you get great tastes and flavors in-cup, they have GREAT customer service.

Even my close friends who dont geek out on coffee like me LOVE when they see the beautiful packages sitting on my shelf and ask for a cup ;)

Review β„–82

Best cup of coffee Ive had in Denver, period. They do pour-overs only, but definitely worth the couple minutes it takes to prepare (and there are tea & espresso options as well). Drink it black, and savor it. Small but very high-quality selection of beans as well.

Ch
Review β„–83

Put simply, Sweet Bloom is the best coffee you’ll have just about anywhere. Andy and his staff take great care to responsibly source their beans and roast them to divine perfection. The roast is never bitter, and is one of the few places you can get a such a smooth brew. You can see the meticulous attention to detail and great love for the roasting process in everyone on staff. I’d recommend anywhere, any time.

Br
Review β„–84

First: I highly recommend you get straight coffee from a pour-over and sit in their space to drink it. Try it black before you add anything. The coffee is well-roasted and lacks any bitterness. Ive been religious about a little half-and-half and a tiny bit of sugar forever, but Id drink this black if I could get it every day.

Im not much of a coffee drinker, but what little I know tells me that this is leaps and bounds better than any big name brand coffee chain from Seattle with a mermaid as their logo.

We have been trying to go for weeks but for some reason Sweet Bloom is not open on Sundays??? We thought this was just an error on Google until we called and confirmed that they aren’t.

I’ve heard so many great things and really want to try the coffee and weekends seem like a time when businesses would be open but I am proven wrong.

Extremely glad I found a REAL coffee shop close to home. They have a very cool coffeehouse setup in a warehouse setting. You can watch them roast the beans right there.
