About This Place

Nestled in the heart of downtown Denver at 1555 Blake St, Little Owl Coffee is a charming coffee shop that offers a truly intimate coffee experience. This small but vibrant spot has earned a devoted following for serving thoughtfully crafted beverages and a selection of irresistible pastries that entice both locals and visitors alike.

At Little Owl Coffee, each cup is a celebration of flavor and craftsmanship. Whether you’re craving a rich, velvety espresso or a comforting cortado, the menu boasts something for every coffee enthusiast. Highlights like the signature Pumpkin Cinnamon Roll and delightful Almond Croissant perfectly complement the bold notes of a smooth cappuccino or the crisp refreshment of their Cold Brew. For those feeling adventurous, the seasonal fall offerings such as the Psl Actual Pumpkin Pie Sauce latte and the unique Espresso Tonic — a tantalizing fusion of espresso, Fever Tree aromatic tonic, and a whisper of vanilla — breathe fresh life into classic favorites.

The array of donuts is another must-try, with options like the Apple Fritter and the decadently indulgent Pumpkin Cheesecake satisfying any sweet tooth. Pastries like the Five Spice Apple Almond Cake and the Lemon Olive Focaccia showcase a creative blend of spices and textures, adding an artisanal twist to your coffee break.

Despite its cozy size, which some guests like Eric Mishne find a bit snug for productivity, Little Owl Coffee radiates warmth and approachability. The friendly staff consistently garners praise for their expert recommendations and welcoming demeanor, making every visit feel personalized and special. Elizabeth Brady’s words resonate well — the service is delightful, and the clean, modern space creates a pleasant backdrop for sipping a lovingly made cup.

Many patrons appreciate the peaceful retreat Little Owl Coffee provides amidst the downtown bustle, a sentiment echoed by Shreeprasad Sonar, who enjoyed a morning ritual here thanks to the inviting atmosphere. The unique drink offerings like the maple miso latte and oat milk vanilla latte, highlighted by Dr. Carol Williams Jackson MD during her visit, exemplify the innovative edge Little Owl maintains without losing sight of comforting, classic flavors.

While its size may limit it as a workspace, the quality of coffee and the careful curation of seasonal and year-round menu items make Little Owl Coffee a gem for those seeking exceptional drinks and quaint moments away from the city rush. Reynaldo Celaya III’s wish to keep it a “little secret” speaks volumes — this is a coffee shop that rewards the curious with genuine warmth and expertly brewed love in every cup.

For coffee lovers in Denver craving an artisanal, intimate coffee experience enriched by expertly prepared pastries and welcoming service, Little Owl Coffee is a destination that promises more than just a caffeine fix — it offers a heartfelt, sensory journey with every sip.

    This was a great tiny spot. I really enjoyed my time here, as well as the cappuccino. the first sip is always the best one, but it wasn’t good. I drop an atmosphere star because it’s really small. I don’t recommend it for a working space. I made it work for a while, but I’m not sure I’d go back to work there. But I would go back for the coffee!

    I didn't want to post this because I hope it stays my little secret small coffee spot... But why not help others find the best coffee downtown. Get your drink to stay and enjoy the "fancy cup" it tastes better

    Great coffee so yummy! We had the special maple miso latte and vanilla latte with oat milk! Delicious !!!!! Also had butter croissant and homemade pop tart. Both were good. Feel kinda bad for the barista having to cash and also serve at the same time. We are visiting! Thanks for the good coffee

    Cute little shop. Really nice pull but I don't love the flavor of the espresso - the house blend, so not sure I'd come back. Nice pastries.

    Tried a hidden coffee shop while in town for work. The barista was polite and service was quick. Grabbed a drip coffee (I’ll be back for a matcha later) and a cinnamon filled pop tart - it was great. Shop was clean, minimalist and completely enjoyable
