Grindhaus

Home away from home in a converted home.
Great coffee, tea, and friendly staff.
Truly a gem in the neighborhood.
Comfy with meeting rooms upstairs. You’re missing out if you haven’t stopped by.

It’s my first time here in Grindhaus, but I’m loving it so far. Lots of space, fairly empty, cool style. (It looks like a old house renovated in a vintage style, but without punching you in the face with too much themed décor.) I’m sitting up stairs, which is great for a small group of us, it’s quiet here and perfect for spreading out.
They’ve got good coffee, awesome service, and plenty of outlets (not at every seat, but it shouldn’t be too hard to find them). I’m definitely interested to try this place again.

Feeling a bit grungy on Sunday morning and want to grab coffee without joining a scene? Me too. I like to walk my pup to Grindhaus and let her hang on the patio. It’s still quiet enough there where I don’t have to sit 2 inches from someone else. I frequently take work, etc. to the upstairs where I can plug in my laptop and sit in silence. Staff is awesome and prices reasonable. Grindhaus is golden.

What a cozy, cute place! Homey Victorian charm meets 70’s décor complete with a beaded curtain, funky lighting, and thrift store dishes.
I was hoping to get a sandwich for lunch but, alas, they are currently not serving sandwiches, only breakfast burritos and something called Breggos, which is kinda like a small calzone. I ended up with a chicken Breggo that had chicken and veggies. It was a bit disappointing. The friendly server told me that they did have Spinelli’s sandwiches last summer but they ended up throwing away more than they sold. Too bad!
Fortunately, the cranberry orange iced tea saved the day. It was wonderful! I will definitely come back for more iced tea and to try some gelato.

Boo on the hours, Grindhaus! My grind doesn’t end at 3PM, but if you are the standard coffee-​connoisseur that limits their need to the AM, this haus may be your new home.
The Good & Bad Rundown:
+ cozy like you walked into someone’s living room
+ large tea selection
+ food and snacks
+ friendly staff
+ fast service
+ plenty of seating (more on upper floor)
+ nice patio seating
— limited hours BUT with your support they plan to extend them

Quaint and awesome, just as it should be. There are bunches of tables inside and out, plenty of games to peruse, wi-​fi at the ready, and it just emits a good vibe. I didn’t explore the whole place, but it’s cozy and makes you just want to sit in there for hours and do something like write a novel or scribble a really intricate love note.
Today, I skipped the coffee and went for the coconut green tea. DELICIOUS. It was served with a wee gingersnap, too, which I found to be a sweet little touch. Oh, and I got a free refill. Also nice.
Admittedly, I love the owners, so I came in here anticipating that I would adore the whole thing. And I did. They’re the folks who own Pandora’s Jewelry, Peppermint, and Soul Haus. If I were to open my own coffee and tea house, I’d hope it would come out just like this one.
Well, with one notable exception. The hours. I really hope their business picks up, because closing a coffee house at 3pm every day is just sad. I was anxious to get a writing group started up here, but without any evening flexibility, I think we’re screwed. Might hit up the owners and see if they’re willing to entertain the idea. If so, I’ll be back to bump this sucker up a star.

A house recharged by coffee. But I didn’t try it this time.
Tea! So many choices! And your usual standard granola fare that is OH so popular in Denver including things made all natural in Boulder and random snack shop type stuff. I suppose the tea + granola food = cleansing? Starvation perhaps? Don’t do this if you’re hungry as well!
I enjoyed a few varieties of looseleaf tea here, and I loved the quirky names of the teas although at the moment I’m having a brain fart on it. I also think that the haus part although a bit small is inviting enough to take a few hours out of your day. I’d definitely study here if I needed to.

Nice layout, great coffee, compostable cups, cool fake fireplace, good service too boot I’ll be back!

I’m starting to feel like Grindhaus is my second office!
Props for being just down the street for me, offering up endless flavors of Wystone Teas (check the daily specials), and brewing a satisfying cup of Unseen Bean coffee. There’s not a ton of food options here, but if your stomach is growling you can chow on a variety of Breggos, or snacks that make you feel like a kid — canned fruit, pudding, soft drinks and water, and bagged chips and pretzels.
There’s usually some easy-​to-​listen to music playing (not to be confused with easy listening), reliable wifi, the bathroom is always clean, and the staff is friendly and helpful. What more could you ask for?

On a scale from one to awesome they’re the s@#%. Awesome décor and atmosphere, great staff, solid coffee. One of those impossible to find local joints you show your cousin when they come to visit and want to know what Denver is like… Did I mention Soul Train playing on the TV?

This place loses one star for selling me a cookie whose flavor they couldn’t identify. I lose one star for being the dope who couldn’t identify it either but still bought it.
Great coffee, though, and free meeting space upstairs that looks suspiciously like my Grandma Barb did the decorating. Progressive and feisty, this coffee shop manages to be quirky without sacrificing the awesomeness of good coffee shops: space to settle in, great coffee, and a homey atmosphere.

Love it here. The owner is way cool too, nice guy. He owns Soul Haus next door. Never met his wife who owns another store there also. But it’s just a pleasant place for coffee and the neighborhood is awesome.

This is my new favorite coffee shop in town for several reasons. First of all, I’m not a big coffee drinker– I prefer tea– and this place has one of the best, most original selections in town. I also love how quite it is and the way the decorated with a mix of old school 60’s and very new, modern looks. My only complaint and that every time I go the barrister’s are not friendly at all and don’t seem all that pleased to be there. Other than that though I highly recommend this place, and their gelatto is great too!

The best review you can give a «coffee house» is whether or not the coffee is good. Grindhaus deserves 5 STARS for Excellent Coffee.
It was my first time there, but I was sold when my large coffee mug arrived with a heart in the foam. It reminded me of how a really good bartender can put a shamrock on a Guinness head.
Grindhaus is a funky little coffee house that has taken over an older house. It feels comfortable and inviting. And the coffee is so good!
They do need better signage. .. I passed it three times before finally seeing the small sign.

Everything a coffee house should be. The coffee is delicious, the WiFi is lightning fast, the atmosphere is unique and the seating area feels like a living room. There’s a TV with DVDs to watch, board games, novelty items for purchase, etc. etc. There’s even gelato.
The girls that work here are sweet, cool and friendly. The owner, Chris, has come up to me a couple times just to introduce himself and chat. Nice guy who’s really excited about the future of his business. He puts on outdoor movie nights and wants to get a Scrabble tournament together, along with other events.
The only downside is I’m often the only customer in the place. Something tells me that’ll be changing very soon, once people catch on…

A cute little café that has opened in my neighborhood! Huge tea selection – both to buy in bulk and eat there. Vegan sandwiches as well as meaty stuff from Spinelli’s. Beatbox all vegan muffins and cookies sold here. Almond and soy milk. Awesome mod, orange-​and-​white furniture. Movie nights where they project the film outside onto their big wall! Very nice staff. Take a book/​movie, leave a book/​movie.
This neighborhood needed a better coffee shop.

Very cool, friendly inviting coffee house. The coffee was good and they even made me a special decaf drink, I know what am I thinking drinking decaf.
I sat outside on my last visit and they have a great outdoor setup. It is very peaceful and gets some nice shade. The inside looked cozy for the winter months. The only downside I see is they tend to blend in a bit with their surroundings which makes it easy to pass by without even knowing it is there.
This place is a real gem though. 2 coffee drinks for under 5 bucks, love it!

They use all local products. Friendly staff. Nice big cozy indoor seating along with patio seating. The ambiance is nice and quaint from the exterior of a converted house with matching interior.
They have local pastries, wrapped sandwiches, salads, and gelato along with an assortment of snack bars.

So I’m well aware that there is some sort of coffee culture that exists in the Cap Hill/​Park Hill/​Wash Park/​Downtown neighborhoods however I’m not of that culture. I enjoy my coffee but I’m the kind of coffee amateur that will happily sip down a cup of Folgers if its handed to me. I don’t usually spend time at a lot of coffee houses, and *gasp* I’ve been known to drive through Starbucks on my way to work. So, with all that in mind, last weekend I found myself with a few friends and about 4 hours to kill. So we headed to this delightful little coffee shop, had some Chai Tea and some good conversation.
The best part about this little shop is the environment. The owners have worked hard to make it fun, comfortable, and just a little hip and funky. Not that «I’m too cool for you» kind of funky… More like that «hey, I’m cool and so are you. We should be friends» kind of funky. The tea was fantastic and the service was fantastic. With plenty of comfy seating, a great patio, and even a bunch of board games to keep me entertained — this shop will be on my regular coffee shop rotation… Which I already stated I don’t have… but now I’m gonna start… With this one.

I sit from within Grindhaus as I type this review. If you’ve ever been to SoulHaus, Peppermint Boutique, or Pandora Jewelry, then you know what kind of retail experience the owners’ pride themselves on. Unique and fun product, always a funky element of design in the physical space, super friendly staff & owners.
It sits right next door to Soul Haus and Peppermint Boutique…
The theme inside is an ode to 70’s Grindhouse theaters, which if you know the owners, makes complete sense. Inside is pretty darn comfortable. They’ve got a nice selection of board games, and old skool Richard Dawson Family Feud is currently playing on the television behind me.
The coffee is delicious (they use The Unseen Bean out of Boulder), they have a great tea selection (the iced-​teas are bomb), they carry gelato from Buenos Aires Pizzeria, sandwiches from Spinellis, and perhaps at some point, they will carry breakfast burritos as well.
The outside patio is quite relaxing. They have a nicely kept lawn in the front, where they plan to host movie nights at some point during the summer.
All in all, a wonderful addition to the neighborhood.
