Middle State Coffee

The always happening Highland neighborhood is a favorite of Denver tourists and locals like me. And it's so ever changing when it comes to food and drinking in mind. New stores continue to pop up with the blink of an eye. And it's been hard to catch up with it. Not sure when this shop opened its doors but it sure didn't escape my notice when I was in the neighborhood for a facial earlier today. This place is petite. I tend to like this size of a store more than larger counterparts to be frank. I guess I like the personableness that makes me feel like I can be cozied up with my drink so I can do some pondering. There are some seatings available just outside of it along the store as well. The lady barista was friendly to me. She complimented my hair to start with and asked me if I was visiting (as I was taking a lot of photos; I guess I looked like a tourist!!) The size of the menu matches with the size of the store. I've been liking simple more than anything lately. Since I ordered a latte, she showed me the flavor add-ons I can do to my drink. Since I don't like overly sweet drinks I asked her to go easy on the flavor (Rosemary Vanilla to be exact). She did exactly just that by putting a hint of it. The flavor was truly subtle which I could barely taste it. This was perfect for me. Let's not forget to mention about the wines they serve here. Per the signage outside, their coffee is radical and their wines are magical. Can't wait to find out about the wine part soon.This was a nice discovery. I might start a membership at the facial place so if I do that then I'll be able to stop at this coffee shop after my appointment. This is a win win for me!!

Great coffee shop off Santa Fe between downtown and Alameda. Delicious drinks and a couple options for snacks. Good, clean space and on street parking out front

Hip little coffee shop. Hung out with my kids and got my caffeine fix. Everything was decent. Cornbread waffle had a slight raw flour/dough taste. But the spicy jam was awesome. Veggie burrito is pretty much cheese and potatoes, didn't taste actual veggies. Coffee was good and matcha lemonade was not obviously artificial tasting but could use sweetener, but I felt healthier drinking it. My biggest annoyance is the tip request. I agree that there is a service. Tuổi order at a counter... they bring it to you, most people return their cups and plates to the bus bucket themselves. You also get your own water. So the tip request was 18, 20, 22%... that is what I give when I'm at a fine dine restaurant when I'm truly being served for hours. Not a coffee shop. Tip culture in America is ridiculous these days. Chick Fil-A has way better service and friendlier and doesn't ask for tip.

Middle State is another great coffee shop to add to the mix! This is a fantastic place to spend a Saturday afternoon. The place gets busy, but there's a lot of seating. I enjoyed my espresso and my son loved his hot chocolate. Highly recommended!

Such a great spot on Santa Fe. Service was awesome. The iced mocha with rosemary vanilla and oat milk was delicious. And I would stop here anytime just for the lemon cronut. So good.

Absolute favorite coffeeshop in all of Denver! Their seasonal flavors are very unique and their coffee is quite flavorful. The inside is adorned with a variety of plants and makes a great space for studying. The staff is great too!

First time here and it was really nice. We ordered one of the seasonal drinks - pumpkin latte with whole milk and a pour over coffee (Colombia). The pumpkin spice latte wasn't overly sweetened. The pour over was delicious. The barista was super kind. I would definitely come back here.

One of the quality coffee roasters hidden away in Denver with some of the best beans and brews around. Solid breakfast pastries and even more incredible breakfast burritos - with a vegan options for those who are. Take some beans home, maybe some instant coffee in the origin of your choice but only after enjoying a fresh cup in the cafe. Great space, chill vibes, good people.

Love this coffee shop. The Dalgona, Cappucino, and espresso milkshake are great every time.

Middlestate is one of THE BEST coffee shops in Denver, hands down. I've been here probably 100 times in the past few years and I've never had a bad cup of coffee. Espresso is delicious, the milk is carefully steamed and poured near perfectly everytime. And the vibe inside is great! Natural light, plants and rotating featured artwork. It's just a phenomenal shop that deserves some serious love. Last thing: I love that they bring your drink to you. It's a small thing that makes a big difference. I haven't found a better coffee shop in Denver.
