This location has grown on me. When they first opened, they lacked the coziness and charm of the original location which was a turnoff. I think they’ve grown into the space, but the layout is still a little too disjointed to make it feel as relaxed as it could be.
Same great coffee and art as always. Staff is super nice.

Service: the employees seem like they’re in pain because that would explain their stank face. I tried to ask about their chai and the guy told me «we make our own» and nodded his head like I was supposed to get the hint. No other description of chai given to help me understand what it’s like.
Coffee: I got a hazelnut latte. I am not blown away by it. I am not a Starbucks person. I love small coffee shops where you don’t have to add sugar to make the espresso taste good. Theirs is okay, kind of a acidic bitter taste as if they’d let the espresso sit for far too long.
Vibe: The environment and set up is great. Cool art work and plenty of room to sit. No wifi, that doesn’t bother me. Just could be more welcoming if employees were actually friendly.

Great little coffee shop with good coffee and nice baristas. BUT, no WI-​FI. I get it, but probably won’t be back in much (unless that changes). Too many other coffee shop options now with WIFI.
But good spot if you’re not needing to work

Smaller place with a cool vibe, and nice relaxing music. My girlfriend and I partook in a monks black and pomegranate green tea. Teas were good and the service was pleasant. Nice and warm inside too!

ABANDON ALL HOPE YE WHO HATH NOT MASTERED PABLO’S NOMENCLATURE. Nothing like being degraded by a hipster barista first thing in the morning! I started to work near Pablo’s and on my visit, I began to utter a foul word: GRANDE. I even stopped and corrected myself to say Medium. Do forgive me, Pablo’s, I used to work by a Starbucks that I visited daily as a matter of necessity. They brainwashed me and I didn’t even know who I was until you schooled me back into your late 1990’s reality.
The barista was not amused by my error. Even further, she was offended by it. She announced nice and loud that, «she didn’t know what a grande was!», and proceeded to hold up a medium cup and act confused and bewildered. «Is this what you mean, a MEDIUM?»
I will do my best to not darken her doorstep again and spare her the offense. Pablo’s is so cool they hate everybody! Woohoo! I’ll be back after I shave off one of my eyebrows and get a nose ring. One medium please!

It is such a shame that this is the closest coffee shop to my apartment. I’ve been tons of times now since it is so close, trying my hardest to give it a chance. Not once have I experienced a friendly barista. They are always so smug and act annoyed when they are forced to have any interaction with a customer, like asking what type of pastry that is (*GASP* such an unreasonable question!). Its almost a game that I internally play to TRY to get a «thank you» or even a simple «you’re welcome» when thanking them, instead of their frustrated grunts for inconveniencing them by making them do their job… and i only ever order a brewed coffee… i know, so difficult.
On any positive note, their coffee doesnt taste like rotten sewer mud, so bravo for that!

This is greatest coffee shop I’ve ever been to. If god were real this is the coffee shop he’d drink at. A lot of people are mad about the no wifi thing, but it’s actually awesome because you get to talk to people face to face and play a game or read a book. No campers taking up spots all day so if it’s full, wait a minute and you’ll have a spot. Thank you Pablos, you’re the best.

Great coffee and service… obviously the locals love them. Breakfast is a reheated burrito from the fridge but it was actually OK. I’ll be back for the coffee for sure, yes served in a real ceramic cup with a saucer… civilization, Ho! And… they have gluten free pastries for that sensitive 1%

Baristas were rude as hell. As I was finishing up my drink and breakfast they started discussing how much they hate anyone who isn’t a local. Literal quote «I wish I could hang a locals only sign on the door.» They also discussed how they wish they could teach a class on coffee shop etiquette for customers and how they were so happy they had earlier hours so they didn’t have to deal with the hoards of tourists who would «demand» coffee while waiting for their tour of cap hill. I’m a local and they acted like I was inconveniencing their morning when I asked for a for here cup. Scones were good tho 10⁄10 will only go back for scones to go.

The coffee boutique is a great place to stop before work, or on a weekend, for delicious coffee. Expresso, Americano, Lattes and a choice of pastries. I tried a vegan apple, maple scone. I’m not vegan, per se, but wow, it was delicious! The Americano was smooth and also excellent. They also serve breakfast burritos. I am visiting my friends in Denver. I’m from Los Angeles. I will come back again, it’s that good!

I got an iced coffee and iced chocolate after touring the Molly Brown house. The iced coffee was good and the prices were cheaper than Starbucks. I did not like the attitude of the staff behind the counter. Both of them gave me a rude look when I asked if they had any flavored iced stuff, like frappuccinos, for my daughter. Neither of them came up with a suggestion, so I just asked for the hot chocolate, but iced. I took the drinks to go and would not return. Try smiling at the customers and mixing it up! Coffee shops should be fun, have options, and connect to customers on a personal level.

Gahhh. I love Pablo’s. Best latte in Denver! Service is always superb. Burritos are yummy and great if you’re on the go. Ambiance is chill and they even have outside seating. Just overall fantastic! Five stars!

Great urban local for a start to the morning. Overall the décor is up to speed for the neighborhood. Stylish and relaxing. Nice benches outside to enjoy the fresh air and a few parking spots in front should you be so lucky to score an open space.
I ordered a small latte $ 3 which was the equivalent of jacked jet fuel on steroids… and I like STRONG coffee so that was a bit of surprise. Seriously packed a punch. This was my first time here so not sure if that’s the standard. The service was good and staff was friendly. I would recommend this place.

Great local coffee shop, located near Capital Hill Denver. Good coffee and nice relaxing vibe.
I ordered 4 espresso shots. Their espresso blend had an interesting bold flavor, that I couldn’t quite figure out. There was not any hint of bitterness in these shots; went down smooth.
I generally drink espresso shots or Americanos, so I can only speak to these drinks. However, I would wager their other drinks are as equally satisfying.
In my opinion, the price of their coffee drinks are close to the market average in this area.

Easy. Squeezy. Beautiful. Pablo’s. I love me some Cap Hill businesses and this one is no different. I’m glad that it has stuck around as it’s a great fit for the neighborhood. Just what you would expect from a coffee shop.
When I stopped in I enjoyed a Pomegranate Hibiscus Green Tea. They gave me a little cup and the most darling little tea pot which was filled with deliciousness. I very much enjoyed my tea. There was a pretty good selection of brews so I’m a fan of this place. Coffee? I don’t know too much about it but I would guess it’s all good.
The employees were very nice and quick. Sure, there were three people in the place when I arrived but still. They were cool.
Super clean with open windows, wooden high-​top tables, great location, laid back — all in all pretty dang good. When in need of a chill location to sip on some beans or leaves this is a good option.

Pablo’s is my gold-​standard for coffee in Denver. They have a solid range of freshly-​roasted coffee served up by people who are genuinely into coffee, and hold a very reasonable price-​point relative to other specialty coffee shops in town.
I’m actually surprised to see the 3-​star rating, but I’d have to chalk it up to mis-​guided notions from the general public on what a coffeeshop needs to be (since when do they owe you WiFi?). This place is about the COFFEE, and they stay true to the many varieties of beans they carry, offering a different line-​up each day. In the «consistency-​is-​king» marketplace led by Starbucks, that can be a bit risky – the coffees really do taste different. I have learned a lot about the different regions and their flavor profiles just by stopping in regularly.

I understand what they are trying to do with the no-​wifi policy, but I go to coffee shops FOR the Wifi these days!

I’ve steered clear of Pablo’s for the past year and a half, since having a really crappy soy latte that I just couldn’t shake. But due to unfavorable weather conditions and being too lazy to walk out of my way to go to my favorite local spot, Novo (where you should be going), I decided to give Pablo’s one more chance. Which turned out to be a terrible idea, as I was met with the city’s most unenthusiastic baristas and the second worst soy latte I’ve ever had. The ratio of espresso to milk was way off and the espresso was entirely too acidic. Not to mention, it was lukewarm. LUKE-​EFFING-​WARM.
You get no more chances, Pablo’s. N-​O-​N-​E.

This place only gets 3 stars because of the coffee itself. It is some of the most acidic coffee I’ve ever had! I suppose some would say it’s «citrus,» but it’s just dang acidic! Someone at another table had an iced hazelnut latte, which looked delicious, by the way.
Service wasn’t surly when I came here yesterday, but it still had that vibe everyone is talking about. The parking right outside is a perk if you’re ever on your way somewhere and need a quick drive-​by. A nice location to take a walk to with plenty of seating outside as well.
