ATTENTION: Now that Google has made it possible to create custom maps from their mapping page, I have created a coffee map there and may phase this one out. Here is the link to the google map.

Click on the icons or the names to the left and right to see more details. You can also zoom in and out using the controls on the left. Green icons represent locations not yet profiled.

Please wait a moment for the map to load

Once the map is loaded, click on a name to see it on the map. You can zoom in and out, as well as drag to see other sections of the map

*NOTE: I have not included large chains on this list. What consitutes a 'large chain?' Good question! :-) Whatever I say it does, I suppose. For example, there are obviously no Starbucks on there, and I did not include Peets. I did however include a few local and regional chains such as Peaberry Coffee.

FAQ:

Why put together a website and blog dedicated solely to Denver coffee houses? It all started as a way for me to learn about 'blogging' for work. I then wanted to learn more about Google's mapping capabilities. This, combined with my addiction to caffeine (but more so, coffee houses) led to The Mile High Buzz!

Are you a coffee house owner? Not yet! Someday, I will probably look into doing this. In the meantime, hopefully I can assist others by spreading the word!

In your opinion, what makes a good coffee house? I posted some thoughts on that here, but I don't think there is a recipe per se. It comes down to atmosphere, service, product, and a unique signature. While I use the word "review" often on this site, my posts aren't really "REVIEWS". They are just my observations. Everyone has a different opinion about coffeehouses, so this site relies on your reviews (see below)

Can I add my own reviews? PLEASE DO!! As mentioned above, this site really does not provide in depth reviews, and I am not a coffee expert, so your thoughts are welcomed and appreciated. I also welcome owners to comment on the posts about their businesses (If I missed something, got something wrong, or if they want to describe what they are going for in their services)

Why isn't ______________ Coffee House on this list? There could be a number of reasons:

1) I just haven't gotten to it yet. Check out this post to see if it's on my list.

2) It's not in Denver. I live in the city and am unlikely to venture out too often (you'll note a few on the list are in Littleton and I haven't been able to go there. Please post your suggestions).

3) There is no free WiFi (sorry folks, but that's a feature I personally find very important, and am unlikely to go if this amenity is not there). I realize that many if not most people don't have this at the top of the list, but that's just me...

4) It is a **$$ (Starbux) or other big chain store... I think Starbucks has done a great job and is wonderfully successful, but I prefer to support local businesses and MUCH prefer a unique look and feel. This unique signature is rare, even among non-chains.
