LaTinto Cafe

This place is a vibe. You can dine in the little garden inside or have a cafe at the bar top area near the entrance. A little guava cream cheese treat to start off your day? Special roasts with flavors of pineapple and chocolate? Don't come here if you are on a diet. It looks like their breakfast is pretty good but I got a takeaway bag of pastries that they warmed up and an americano.They don't have the best selection of additives for your coffee (half and half). But they do have great roast selections.The Colombian pastry is a very subtlety sweet and savory treat. I enjoyed the enrollada, the pan queso, and the pandebueno? The last one was very similar to a pão de queijo in flavor profile. I'm not sure about the gluten part though.

Just discovered the cutest Colombian Cafe in Broadway! @latintocafe opened in February of 2023 and it means "Black Coffee." Owned by the same guy who brought Denver @lachivacolombian the gracious Don Jorge. The cafe is just across the street from the restaurant and offers the most amazing breakfast dishes and warm service from Alexis and everyone. The traditional Colombian breakfast options were delicious, and the Caldo de Costilla with its clear broth, beef, and potatoes was a standout. The Denver Omelet and freshly baked bread were also fantastic! And I can't forget to mention the addictive bread in the basket and the perfect hot Aguapanela for a cold morning. The La Tinto specialty Latte was equally delicious and pretty. By 9 am, the place was already full, and it's no wonder - it's worth braving a snowstorm to visit!Featured:Coffee (Brewed coffee.

Amazing Colombian cafe. My fiancé is Colombian and this is his favorite place. Before we started dating, I had never had Colombian food, and now I am a huge fan! This is a must try for all people!! They have a beautiful cafe with lots of seating. The bakery case when you walk in is so tempting with all different kinds of pastries. Even if you come to just grab some pastries to go, you will blown away. We usually start with a maracuja (passion fruit) juice made with water (but milk is even more of a treat). We split a tamal - amazing, lots of flavor, lots of chicken and not try at all! And we split caldo de costilla - tender beef rib, potatoes, cilantro & tons of flavor. My absolute favorite thing to have are the almojabanas. Theyre the best texture with a sweet and salty cheesy flavor. So good with coffee or hot chocolate. Very helpful & friendly staff. Easy street parking out front. Overall, this is a must visit!! Such a treat to experience authentic Colombian food in Denver.

As years-long enthusiastic patrons of La Chiva, we've been dying to try LaTinto. We thought lunch before the Copa America finals would be a great time, but boy were we wrong.The place was excruciatingly hot (with no fans or even warnings at the door) and the service was simply abysmal. Our server never smiled and didn't react to our many pleas for water, even though we had our child and I am very clearly *super* pregnant. I almost passed out in there and never once did anyone come to help or apologize or anything. My Mom and husband had to go and find water for me multiple times. Our food was delayed by about 45 min. No one ever came to our table to say anything. They could have offered us something from the bakery and made more money, but nothing. I was surprised that they didn't come to inquire if they could bring anything for our 2 yr old. I was dehydrated and overheated from the experience for the entire day after. I spoke with the manager who was apologetic, but who made excuses. I explained that we were paying customers and we shouldn't be fearing for our health while being ignored entirely by his staff. The only reason this is getting 2 stars as opposed to 1 is because the pandebono was delicious and gave us both major nostalgia to our Colombian upbringings. I'll go back to pick up pastries, but I'll never do sit down dining here again.

La Tinto is the place for Colombian treats-- the cafe is cute with space to gather, and all their offerings are displayed in the front counter. The balance of sweet and savory is perfect--from guava & cheese pastries, the yucca-flour based chewy pan de bono or almojábanas, to the empanadas. I got some goodies to go but ordered the empanadas heated. These were a perfect lunch before finishing the rest of my errands for the day. Stop by for something to go or to catch up with a friend!

Quaint place with a relaxed atmosphere. Lots of snacks to choose from with the options for a few breakfast meals. Service was quick and friendly and we got our food quickly. I really enjoyed the pandebono, veggie empanada, and mozzarella arepa. Everything was served hot and fresh and tasted divine. The empanadas are small so keep that in mind when deciding quantity. I also ordered a campesino coffee and it was quite delicious. It's a black coffee sweetened with sugarcane juice. Very tasty! Only complaints I have is that we were handed two differently formatted menus, which were both different from what showed on the online menu so that was a little confusing. And we ended up sitting for a long time after we were done waiting for our server for a check but then realized we could pay up front. Overall, we will be back!

A sister spot to La Chiva, this is a casual cafe-focused concept serving some great Colombian snacks and breakfast dishes. My Colombian husband was excited to check this place out upon hearing they opened last week. We made our way for breakfast today and had a solid experience! We ordered a bunch to share: tamal, beef empanadas, a tequeno, a pan de bono, lulo juice and orange juice. It all came out to about $40. Everything hit the spot! I think the pan de bono could've been a little lighter but besides that, everything was just like I would expect. I'd definitely love to come back and try more of the menu including the arepas and calentao. Don't expect a full blown coffeeshop menu when it comes to coffee itself, but they have your basic lattes and espresso, as well as hot chocolate which is a Colombian favorite. There's a good amount of seating both at the front and in the main dining area. As it's right on Broadway (across the street from La Chiva), you have to take your bets with street parking. All in all, happy we came and would definitely swing by for a snack or take some things to go!

LEGIT Colombian bakery. Pandebonos are divine. Mozzarella arepas are outstanding. My fiancé is from Bogota and other than the cafe/bakeries in Florida and Brooklyn, these are the best she's ever had. Get there!

MUST come to this place if you're in Denver! My favorite cafe of all time! Best coffee, best baked goods!The lattes are absolutely incredible, I often find a lot of coffees to be too acidic or too sweet but they have the smoothest most miraculous blend. The best coffee I've ever had in my life!Best gluten free options in Denver for baked goods hands down. Naturally gf the Colombian cheese based doughs are amazing, from pandebono, to buñuelos, and empanadas, you can't go wrong with anything, but my favorite is the empanada de cambray (stuffed with guava and cheese). Service is amazing, super quick as well. Alex is especially wonderful and brightens my morning every time I visit!

Great coffee and pastries. Will definitely be back to try their breakfast and enjoy the ambiance.
