Colorado city ranks among best for coffee lovers – 5 coffee shops to check out
According to WalletHub, coffee’s popularity in the U.S. first started its climb after the Boston Tea Party, now at the point where many Americans consume the drink as part of their regular routine. A survey from the National Coffee Association shows that 66% of Americans drink coffee daily, with about 519 million cups consumed around the country each day.
WalletHub recently conducted a study to determine the best coffee cities in the U.S. Here’s a look at how some Colorado cities ranked.
Denver took 15th place on the rankings out of the 100 cities that were included. Colorado Springs came in at 48th and Aurora ranked 55th.
To create the rankings, WalletHub compared the 100 largest cities across 12 key indicators of “coffee lover-friendliness.” Among included data points were the number of coffee shops, coffee houses, and cafes per capita, the average price per pack of coffee, average spending on coffee per household, and Google search traffic for the term “coffee.”
Since Denver ranked highly among the nation’s best cities for coffee lovers, here’s a look at some of the Mile High City’s best coffee shops:
- Corvus Coffee Roasters
This coffee shop has locations in Arvada, the DTC, and Littleton, and serves up nitro cold brews, seasonal tonics and lattes, and “Morning Slams.”
2. Little Owl Coffee
With locations in LoDo’s Sugar Cube building, LoHi, and an outlet in the lobby of the Populus Hotel, Little Owl Coffee offers cold brews, cortados, Americanos, and more. The coffee company also creates unique concoctions like the Pina Collided (espresso, pineapple, and coconut) or the Yam Queen (a yam and marshmallow latte), according to the Denver Eater.
3. Huckleberry Roasters
Huckleberry Roasters has eight locations throughout Denver, Wheat Ridge, and Centennial. According to Denver Eater, Huckleberry’s original location provides a “quiet getaway in an artsy, colorful space with a large patio.”
4. Sweet Bloom Coffee Roasters
This internationally-acclaimed coffee roaster has three Colorado cafes that pride themselves on their “warm hospitality” and “expert service.” Sweet Bloom celebrates the “full life cycle of coffee – from the first bloom, to the final cup.”
5. Middle State Coffee
Middle State’s flagship care and roastery is located at N. Santa Fe Drive & 2nd Avenue in Denver, and has another location in Highlands. As well as a variety of coffee options, Middle State offers baked goods from Reunion Bread, house-made waffles, cereal, yogurt and granola, and burritos from Bonfire Burritos.
Portland Oregon took first places on WalletHub’s list of the best cities in the U.S. for coffee lovers.
