I love the family vibe, and I dropped my review from a 5 star to a three because they stopped making their own pastries. They made the best almond croissant! Now it’s the same as everyone else in Denver, looks pretty, but tastes of sadness. Also they got rid of the ceramic mugs!!! Boooooooh
The coffee and staff is amazing !!!! Shout out to Cha Chi !!!! So kind and professional
Honestly the worst chai almond milk with vanilla I’ve ever had. It was watery and tasted actually gross and I asked for sweet and it was bitter. This is the second time I went after my first chai was nasty and I decided to go a few weeks later to try again to support local thinking maybe it was an off day. No, still gross especially for being over 7$
~$5 for a small drip. They're doing the whole "no visible prices" thing but who would've expected an 8oz pour out of a thermos to cost that much? At least it was decent coffee
They changed their ingredients. It’s not handmade almond milk anymore. The coffee tastes basic. The breakfast burritos are not handmade. The breakfast burritos are mushy and carelessly made. The cost is the same as the previous high quality but the product is sub-par. won’t be back after going there regularly for many years.
Can’t recommend this place anymore. Menu no longer reflects what you get. Almond milk is no longer homemade and is Costco brand, which they don’t tell you. Breakfast burritos are also no longer homemade and are frozen store bought, which they also don’t tell you unless you ask. Plus, the ingredients shown on the menu are not what’s in the new burritos. Way too expensive for what it is now and doesn’t have what made this place special before these changes several months ago. Paid over $60 for 3 burritos and 4 coffees/lattes. Hope they go back to the homemade almond milk and breakfast burritos, but employees said it’s very unlikely.
My favorite coffee shop in the Denver area, great coffee they roast themselves, great syrup they make themselves, great people, great atmosphere. I’m from the mountains and I make sure to come here every time I’m down the hill.
Been here about 3 times, the lattes were watery each time. Not sure if they're pulling bad espresso or if they're using really bad oat milk. Also found the food to be overpriced. Very weird experience as even the average coffeeshop around Denver does a better job.
Cute place but dirty chai was not good, stick to regular lattes here. Kind of tastes like fish oil, very strange
$10 for an espresso and a coffee to go. Tennyson really needs an adorable coffee shop where entrepreneurs can thrive. This isn’t a spot I would come back to often
Great little place, cool decor. They are battling staffing issues at the moment but if you can be patient and cool they have a really tasty gluten free vegetarian breakfast burrito (normal ones with meat available too, sausage was the option today) Very tasty chai with oat milk alt
Coffee is mediocre. Service is mediocre. Prices are high. I ordered a cappuccino and a pumpkin spice latte. Okay little Tennyson street vibe. Usually busy but they don’t have competition.
Closed Monday Tuesdays just FYI - Temporarily as of 9/26/22
It makes me really sad to see what used to my favorite coffee shop in Denver become a place that I won’t go back to. This used to be the coffee shop that we loved taking friends to, we came here almost weekly, we came here to celebrate special events, we even brought our wedding party to the coffee shop after the ceremony. But all of that was when they made their own almond milk, made their own burritos and they made their own pastries. Now everything is prepackaged and store-bought. The quality is just not there especially for the high price point. This used to be the best breakfast burrito in Denver and I told all of my friends about it and now it’s still over $10 but it’s prepackaged from a store.
In my opinion, the prices are pretty wild compared to anywhere else, save your $ and head across the street to Colorado Cherry Co. Downpours has good coffee and a decently cool shop… but prices here are nuts so be ready to drop $18 for what would be $9 elsewhere. $5.60 for a regular size house coffee and when I tried to get a top off before going they told me they “have to” (choose to) charge for another full coffee. I’m a small business owner too so I get the struggle and usually advocate for charging more… but would love to not pay $11.20 (before tip) for a cup and a half or coffee. The worker did apologize seeming to get it’s a bit ridiculous. All the negative reviews here are about the price, which really is the only thing I have a problem with, ($18 for a coffee and burrito is not worth it).
Been here twice and sadly, cappuccino is just not good. Especially for the price you pay. 🙁
I really wanted to like this place considering Allegro closed across the street but it might have been the worst (iced) latte I’ve had. The whole thing tasted super watered down, almost like iced coffee instead of espresso. I got oat milk because I usually like how creamy it makes the latte, but that too tasted watered down and very grainy. Not to mention the iced latte was $7.50.
Wonderful coffee shop with great coffee and great service. Stop by one morning to grab a quick latte and Downpours did not disappoint! The staff were so sweet and lovely. The cafe was cute. The latte, burrito and pastries were delicious.
A cozy place to support a local business. Coffee was good and the breakfast burritos were amazing.
Hate to harp on the negative but clearly not sure what is going on at this place. I’ve been twice now I get the same drink, iced or hot mocha latte w/ oat milk, and all three times their mocha could be the most off tasting drink I’ve ever tasted from a coffee shop. What chocolate are you using? Someone needs to do a tasting, I even asked and they said that’s how it’s suppose to taste. Right…it’s not.
