The Molecule Effect - Wash Park

Was driving by the area, saw this place, and couldn't not stop by for a morning coffee. Upon entering I realize it's a dual cafe and bar and wow their happy hour looks awesome! My pistachio latte was also awesome and I had one of their gluten free dairy free small local pre-made breads. The ambiance and aesthetic of this place are 10/10. And the coffee is delicious espec with their house made syrups. I will be back

Where do you park? I parked across the street & up a block in the residential neighborhood. Once I arrived, I took a look at the menu online & at the hanging menu boards. This shop serves alcohol which includes cocktails, beer, & wine. They also offer mocktails.The seating is kind of compact. Not much room to walk by people occupying chairs. The chairs are metal except for the couch & 2 padded chairs. I only sat long enough to finish my Latte & bolt.The barista was not at all cordial. I stood at the counter waiting for her to come take my order after making some Espresso Martinis. She decided to clear dishes without acknowledging me. I don't mind waiting, I do mind being ignored. I didn't feel the "molecule effect" that this business touts.On a positive note, the barista did make my Autumn Rose Latte very nicely. I really enjoyed it once I put the aforementioned attitude behind me. When I finished, I cleared my cup and put it in the bin with the other dirty dishes. I nodded to the barista who barely looked at me. She didn't say anything and she wasn't taking or making an order.Lastly, would I come back here? Probably not. I didn't feel welcome here, & there are other coffee shops that have & will treat me well. I'm visiting from another state, so this meh service & parking situation won't prompt me to go through the hassles to get back here again. Their other location is closed and that was the one I wanted to visit originally.

Came for some espresso martinis. Feeling nostalgic today. Worked a bit and enjoyed the views. Service was quick they served both martinis at once so that was interesting lolAlways a necessary stop on any Saturday.

We went here with some friends for trivia on a Thursday night. The space was smaller and on the cozy side - both a coffee shop and cocktail/beer/wine nighttime spot! They only had four beers on tap, of which two were out. I got a beer from TRVE which was solid; after, I got the "lavender, I hardly knew her" because I love lavender and it was delicious (had some hibiscus in there too). The acoustics for trivia were pretty bad - luckily we could read the questions ourselves online but the sound system could definitely be improved upon. Overall, pleasant experience with some fun drinks.

I FINALLY came to The Molecule Effect today. This is a much talked about place in Denver that serves coffees/teas and cocktails. For someone like me who is an avid fan of spending a quality time in a shop like this, it was a much-anticipated visit.Conveniently located on the southeast corner of Alameda and Logan, when this arctic vortex is enveloping the entire country with sub zero temperatures (in mid-January of 2024) in some states, it was a fitting thing for me and my adult daughter to bring a few books, a laptop and journals to enjoy a few hours in the afternoon to cozy up in the corner of the shop.Very cool vibes! The background music's volume was just right; it was soothing to our souls. Lo-Fi with a little infusion of jazz or occasional light funk is what I describe the music as; this type of music never goes wrong at a place like this.People around us were extremely considerate; they were very quiet. It was as if there was an unwritten rule to quiet their voices down so that they would not be distracting to others that are enjoying their quiet moments. I've been to coffee shops where it was simply too loud to do anything personal.My daughter got the matcha latte, I got me one of the milk teas (called cambric, a foamed milk with a tea bag in it. The kind I got was earl gray.) The huge black mugs had plenty for us to sip for the few hours we were there.Friendly/easygoing staff. Two-person tables are along the windows. Several four-seater high top tables are/were present. There is also a 8-person big table all the way to the back where you can sit by yourself and share the space with strangers. Or you can sink in one of the couches to feel like a couch potato to enjoy a little daydreaming. Some artists contribute by displaying their artworks; this is throughout the shop. I enjoyed the mural in one of the bathrooms.They stay open until 9pm (ish). You can grab a quick bite to eat at a nearby restaurant and come here for a cocktail or two (this is not to say that this place doesn't offer food. You should definitely check out the food menu. We didn't get any at our visit though so we will get us some bite to eat next time we are here.)

I really want to give this place 5 stars but I can't yet! I always enjoy my coffee here and the atmosphere is so comfortable and eclectic. Unfortunately the service is very average if not below average, the staff never seems happy and I only get 1-word answers when I try to make conversation. It brings me down. But I continue to go in since I can walk over and everything else is excellent!

Went here for the first time today to get a little bit of work done. This shop had a great atmosphere, tons of people working, and not too loud. I loved all of the coffee options and deals they offer and was so excited when I found that they offer a 20 oz option. As a coffee lover, sometimes I have to order two of the smaller cups to get my fill at other places! I highly recommend the lavender brown sugar latte. I'm still feeling pumped and ready to go from this morning!

The service was great. Thanks, Nate. It's espresso martini night... that's BOGO. Hooray!!! Great martini, regardless of BOGO. Environment is hip with tall tables, couch, wall space for solos, and changing art. We had a great time.

Cozy, great coffee and check out these comfy chairs! Cool, friendly and the perfect spot to meet a friend!

This place was a cute pleasant surprise. I frequent another restaurant right around the corner and every time I'd walk by here I always made a point to say I needed to come back and try it soon. I finally did with my bestie last night during their happy hour! It was such a chill atmosphere. Quiet, relaxing. The staff here were nice and helpful. We ordered an early grey martini and a cosmopolitan. Both tasted amazing. I'll definitely try and come back again soon with friends to catch up after the holidays and introduce them to the Molecule Effect!
