I have this fantasy of working all day from a comfy couch in a cozy coffee shop. Alas, my office life says otherwise. So instead, I'll settle for weekend visits while scrolling tik tok, and drinking a good iced latte. Luckily, I've found the perfect spot for it: Lil Coffee Shop!I visited their Downing St. location and it was great! Owned by the team behind Little India so you know the food is amazing), they're open 24/7 and even deliver. Late-night fast food? Consider it canceled.The vibe here is great: cozy couches, amazing coffee, and a staff that knows their regulars by name. I spent two hours here, and it's clear they've built a great relationship with the neighborhood. I'm already planning my return to work through their extensive menu! What I ordered: * Breakfast pizza * Supreme Queen avocado toast * Ham, egg & cheese croissant * Egg, cheese & potato breakfast burrito * Spicy chickpea avocado toast * Loaded hash browns * BBL-T bagel sandwich * Mimosas, Bloody Mary, Cookie Butter Latte, and Cappuccino Best bites:Everything was amazing, but a few dishes stood out: * Spicy chickpea avocado toast: Perfectly flavored with spicy masala and a citrusy avocado mash. I don't even love chickpeas but I think I do now! * Breakfast burrito: Smothered to perfectly with green chili! Not soggy which is an automatic win for me. * Breakfast pizza: Bacon, sausage, green chili, egg. It made me realize how much more breakfast pizzas I should be eating

I've been here a few different times and the first two times were enjoyable, but this last one fell flat. First and foremost, it's really confusing as to what this place is going for anymore, coffee shop, full blown restaurant, bar, and selling liquor and ice cream pints? It seems like they're trying to a quirky catch all but it's honestly not working. It's really chaotic and aesthetically overwhelming walking in, finding the coffee/tea on the menu screens was challenging and there's so much on there the font it almost impossible to read. We got two winter specials - the peppermint bark late and the Black Forest late, and both tasted like coffee with milk and sugar. Neither one had their promises flavors of peppermint or cherry, so that was a major let down. Also, of note, the cupcakes in the pastry case are from Sam's Club and the muffins are from Costco??

Had a great experience! The Kiki caught my eye immediately, since I love waffles. Although it was pretty sweet, it was delicious! The latte was great. They offer some seasonal varieties too that I enjoyed. The service was fast and friendly. A simple interior with small tables and some large sofas. I sat in the patio area under trees.

The food and drinks are great! We had Iced Matcha tea latte with coconut milk and Cafe Americano with oat milk. We also had two of their Avocado toast sandwiches. Service was friendly and speedy. There were tables to eat as well as a bar area.

This place has it ALL! My favorite coffee shop/work from home spot! First- great coffee with lots of different options- you can even order a mimosa or boozy coffee if that's what you're feeling! The service is always fast and everyone here is pleasant. There are plenty of people working, so no crazy back up on orders. Another reason this is my favorite spot- they have a full menu. Breakfast, lunch, or dinner! From baked goods to pizza to sandwiches and salads. They have a lil of everything and anything I have ordered is well made and thoughtfully plated- oh and AFFORDABLE!! The chicken Tikka salad featured below is like 8.00. Amazing! If you have not already, you gotta come check out the amazing coffee, food, and vibes at lol coffea shop good people, good music, good food!

Fun coffee shop for meeting friends and chatting or possibly for doing work, though the turnover of people could be distracting. Comfortable seating options and lots of flavor options for coffee.

A coffee shop with great savories, how good can it get? This was Keith's Coffee but is now lil Coffea Shop with an "a" at the end. How creative is that!We stopped by here for a quick something to eat with a few beverages on this beautiful Sunday high noon. Due to its location (near DU), there were some young adults with their laptops studying for whatever they were working on. The background music was at the right volume where people weren't so distracted by it. And those who were there to just mingle, they were respectful by engaging in their chitchats etc.We were impressed with the Masala Calzone. They serve it in a large plate. Not a bad price ($15) for this portion. My daughter really enjoyed her Apple Cider Chai. My usual, doppio, tasted good, too. The service was good; I couldn't think of anything negative to say about this quaint shop that's hidden from the main/busy street. It sure is a nice place to chill/relax if you're in a mood for a little sit down.

Decided to have brunch here this Sunday morning, and it was the best decision! Got a decaf iced strawberry rose latte and an avocado toast. My date got a quesadilla. Both came out on time, and the service was great. It's a small shop with parking on the left side of the building. Great place to work and study, and will definitely be coming here again!

We live in the neighborhood and wanted to check out Lil Coffea for dinner tonight. Ordered the Chicken Potstickers and the cheeseburger, along with a side of fries. Not only was the food delicious, the presentation was absolutely beautiful! Highly recommend - we will definitely be back again.
