Que’s Espresso

Meh. Coffee was only so-​so, and there were grounds in it (I had a triple shot latte). The bathroom was disgusting — the toilet filthy and the old soap dispenser on the wall covered in soap drips that looked like they’d been there for years. Cobwebs in the light fixture over the table. All just kinda gross and made me wonder about the cleanliness of the kitchen and food prep areas. Also, plastic lawn chairs for furniture? I’m sure they can do better. I wanted to like this place, but they charged me a dollar more for the same coffee I would get elsewhere with four shots. And cleanliness is important.

I try so hard to support local business. but I refuse to be ripped off in my quest to do so… This place’s prices are so ridiculous I have no idea how they are in business. Over $ 5 for just a cup with 4 shots of espresso in it it’s not anywhere near reasonable. Especially when the exact same thing from a competitor of theirs down the street is $ 2.75 and don’t try to tell me they use done high quality espresso. I have been ordering this drink for years the most I’ve ever seen somebody charge is a dollar a shot. So if you want to paid double on most what most places charge go here. If you don’t just use the search feature of the Unilocal app and see that there is another coffee shop less than 3 minutes away his prices aren’t ridiculous

Order a flora-​tine
Good coffee with Hersey syrup.
Sorry the Hersey part? I can make that at home.

Vic’s is now Que’s and it’s gotten even better. The baristas, especially Karen (she of the WOO-​HOO!), are always friendly and proficient. Que’s has the best Americano Doppio out of the local shops I frequent.

It’s name has changes to Que’s
Staff is friendly, décor is simple and clean.
Free wifi, great coffee and pastries.
I am in town for a few days and spend 6hrs straight crushing a ton of work while I was here great spot!

It’s now called Que’s, but still wonderful to visit, and it’s fun to see the local art on the walls. I wonder if someone can change the name on this entry?
They do carry Dizzy’s donuts, including the amazing bacon and maple donut, which first drew me to this place.
But what’s kept me coming back is the espresso and how the baristas here pull them. I lived in Seattle for 15 years before moving to the Front Range and finding out that no one here could pull a shot because of the altitude and aridity.
Until I stumbled on this particular shop! With their new alliance with Dragonfly Coffee roasters in Boulder, they’re even offering a medium Italian roast for their shots! I had two single Americanos today that were astonishingly good, and definitely approached what I used to get at Espresso Vivace in Seattle. The barista was even so good as to replace one of them because he felt that the original hadn’t pulled as well as the one he replaced it with!
And, yes, it’s wonderful to be recognized by the staff and to have them know exactly what I want
I’m very very impressed, and I truly do believe you can’t get better in Longmont.

Adding a little to this. It’s a hand-​pull setup, so the espresso is very dependent on WHO pulls it. The owner, the guy with the curly hair, is the best one at pulling a creamy espresso shot, and seems to be there at least every Monday and Wednesday morning (along with the Dizzy’s donuts). The lady with the tattoos is quite good, too, as is a 20-​something young man who bounces about. With anyone else I actually just get a milk drink.
