MiddleState Coffee

MiddleState Coffee is that rare unicorn of a coffee shop that’s equal parts creative hub and caffeine powerhouse. The space is bright and edgy (big windows, exposed brick, and a rotating crowd of students, artists, and remote workers). The menu doesn’t just play the hits, it remixes them. From sparkling espresso tonics to cardamom-spiked seasonal specials, there’s always something a little unexpected (and totally delicious). But the fundamentals? Rock solid. The beans are roasted in-house and the coffee is consistently smooth, strong, and flavorful. Add in a tight pastry lineup and some of the nicest staff in Denver, and you’ve got the kind of place that turns casual visits into daily rituals. It’s the type of spot where you’ll spend ten minutes deciding what to order, then two hours forgetting you had other places to be. MiddleState doesn’t just keep Denver caffeinated, it keeps it inspired.
