After hearing much well deserved hype, I decided to try ink coffee. I was pleasantly surprised aesthetically as soon as I walked in and was greeted by a nice mohawk wearing young man. I had a great italiano sandwitch, made fresh to order, and oh so quickly. I hear the coffee is great and roasted in state, but do not let that girl Rachel make your drink, you will regret it. I received the most burn, awful tasting latte imaginable. It tasted like she ran down to starbucks and burn the milk even more on the way back. Exceptional food, great service, and good coffee, I hear (when certain people make it, I guess). Would recommend if you're willing to take a chance, or if you are not picky on your coffee temperature.

I love love love the coffee here! The espresso drinks are unbeatable and the food is awesome too. The only reason I didn't give 5 stars is because it is pretty pricey and also because the service is sometimes slow.

2012 Review #326: I have long loved me some ink! In fact, there was an ink! in a strip mall where I grew up, back when there were only 2-3 locations. Then, it sadly burned up, and they didn't replace it. We went to the ink! in Aspen and the service was flat-out atrocious. Luckily, this ink! doesn't have the CCN attitude that could so easily accompany it. Not much has changed since I started going to ink! locations around 10 years ago. One thing has changed- the prices. Prices have gone up $1.40 on blended drinks (yes, I remember) in 10 years, but, that's not that much. One thing that semi-unfortunately has not changed is their sizes. You can only get a 24 oz. size on blended and iced drinks. Granted, they're delicious, but that's a lot of drink. I often get my favorite blended drink as a meal, because otherwise it's just too much. My go-to drink has been, and probably will always be, a blended white. It's delicious, and creamy, and *does not use syrup*. I repeat- ink! does not make their blended drinks with syrup. They use powders, much like malt powder, and they automatically use skim milk in their blended drinks (but whole milk in their iced drinks, fyi). I'm not sure all the staff does this, though, because I always specify skim milk in my blended drinks, and sometimes they say "oh sure, no problem" and sometimes they say "we do that automatically", so, who knows. They have a good selection of baked goods, like crumb cake, cookies, etc. They also have some delicious bagel options like parmesan, though I don't know what bakery supplies them. Worst thing about this store is the parking situation- if you're at the mall or Whole Foods, just walk over, because all the nearby parking is paid and it's always crowded. But, the drinks are also delicious, so it's a low price to pay.

This ink! Coffee Company is very lovely. I loved how bright and clean inside the coffee shop was. The coffee was good and strong. Their carrot and walnut bread was moist and fluffy. To top it all off, the staff was super friendly. What a lovely oasis!
(4)Mike F.
Good coffee and a sandwich that was likewise good, but mostly bread for $10; $12+ after coffee. Adding a handful of chips or a pickle would go a long way. Guess that comes with the neighborhood. Nice options for plugging in lappys and other hardware. Lastly, and this isn't limited to Ink!, but it's frustrating that in this day and age that faster and more reliable WIFI isn't available for joints like this. I was dropped more than a couple times. Frustrating when you consider most all of the peeps in there were working AND eating/drinking. I know I'd seek out a place with superior connections.
(3)Brad C.
If you're looking for great coffee, this is as good as a "chain" can get. Excellent lattes made from baristas who actually care about the coffee they make. You can also purchase a variety of beans to take home. Wifi is available, but be forewarned that it is slow and if you are there to get some work done, other patrons can be loud.
(5)J P.
Great people. great service. great product. I don't know what they do, but their mochas are just creamier and tastier than all others. I've been trying different places around town for years but always seem to be coming back to ink.
(5)Terry L.
Stopped in here this afternoon for a little biz chat/ brainstorming session. Good coffee but nothing special. On to the good and bad of this review then: Good: clean design with HUGE windows, prompt friendly Barista. Bad: Parking-- which kinda goes for the Cherry Creek area as a whole and isn't really reflected for this review per se. I'm not a fan of Starbucks or anything resembling chain places for coffee (hence my addiction with Pablo's) I was headed to lunch later-- so I didn't order food. I'll have to stop back in for a Yelp update including snax sometime-- maybe as a great Cafe stop in a sunny bicycle ride!
(3)Dan K.
Friendly and efficient staff; wifi speed not ideal, but good enough to get work done; lots of counter seating with power outlets. Oh, and the coffee's excellent, too!
(4)Ryan H.
Favorite coffee spot in Denver. Try the mocha or one of the blended. They're the best!
(5)Katie R.
Cheery Creek...an area of town i haven't really explored too much of...considering i live in the boondocks of littleton. however, i met miss Laura L for a quick coffee to just catch up. i ordered a flavored chai and fell right in love. normally i'm all about coffee, coffee, coffee but this day...not so much. the flavors were amazing and the i drank my special beverage to the last drop. YUM!! ink coffee=my new love :)
(4)Amy O.
Wow, um, holy crap. Iced black and white? I'm not surprised it was OVER $6 because there was definitely drugs, or nicotine, or gold in this beverage. The sign said 2x espresso, white and dark chocolate, and milk. But again, it was so good that it definitely contained one of the above mentioned substances. The drink usually comes blended but I asked for it iced. It was really thick though. Almost like a combo between iced and blended. Wow. probably a zillion calories too but maybe it's like your once-a-month reward yourself drink.
(4)Unshod J.
Decent little coffee place. If you are looking for modern style and free wi-fi this is the place to go. It wasn't very busy at all so we were able to enjoy nice conversation while people watching. The coffee is smooth as the bathroom literature suggests. Not really my style of place so that is the reason for only 3 stars. Also didn't have a large variety of baked goods.
(3)Lindsay A.
I have a perfect fall day in Denver to shop and do whatever I please. Since I just got back from Puerto Vallarta I'm a little tired from all the travel, so I need some fuel. Bypassing the usual Starbucks, I go for a little something more unique in the neighborhood. Ink Coffee is what I go with. I order a medium white chocolate mocha and a vegetarian sandwich. I think its a little pricey but when it comes out, it is HUGE! the bread is soft and delicious and balsamic is bursting with flavor. The coffee was awesome and perfect temperature. I will definately be coming back here in the future.
(5)K B.
Order the HIGH-FIVE -Almond or Soy Milk -2 shots of espresso -1 Banana -Protein powder -1 scoop of peanut butter ...and I think that is it Its a perfect afternoon pick-me-up or better a wake-up call! Good service and not to loud to have a bit of a quit time. You pay a good price-but you get what you pay for.
(5)Courtney B.
Many locations and outstanding coffee! Get a blended B&B with a spoonful of peanut butter. It will change ur life!
(4)Tiffany N.
I wanted to update this review sheerly to mention the bathrooms at Ink. If you are one of those yelpers that has a "best bathroom" list here in Denver (and I know there are quite a few of you) you should check these out. The toilet is rectangle and the flusher part is a rectangle box-thing on the wall that's quite big. The sink is long and rectangular as well and full of black rocks along the bottom. It seems that the rectangle theme isn't limited to just the seating area itself.
(3)Caitlin D.
Every single time I go in there the girl employees are rude and give me short answers. I can hear the way they talk to other customers in front of me or after me and they are overly nice them. I always come in with a smile on and say please and thank you. So who knows why the girls are rude. The coffee and food are good.
(2)Andrea R.
If I have more than 1 coffee in a day I'm wide awake for 48 hours....not kidding. And since I had already grabbed a much needed latte at the Denver airport that morning I decided against a second cup of coffee at Ink. It would be a bottle of water for this overly caffeinated gal! But that didn't stop me from enjoying the cool rectangular atmosphere at Ink... Everything here is super modern in a rectangular shape...even the toilet in the bathroom is in the shape of a rectangle. I want a rectangular toilet at home! I did get lots of work done using their free wifi (thanks) when I decided I really needed/wanted a rice krispie treat. Unfortunately, I soon discovered that they don't serve rice krispie treats here, although i did see some tasty looking blueberry scones! Clearly they need to add rice krispie treats to their menu...afterall, they are rectangular too!
(4)Laura L.
All I can say is, in all my treks to Cherry Creek, why the heck haven't I stopped in here sooner? Insanity, I tell you. Insanity. Protege extraordinaire, Katie R, and I stopped in here today for a post-lunch pick-me-up and I think their hot B+W is my new BFF. Espresso, steamed milk, black and white chocolate powder, all mixed together in hot, melty, sugary, caffeinated goodness. I may just have to shop for b+w chocolate powder, because it sounds like the elixir of the gods. I really like a few things about Ink: they're a Colorado company, they roast their beans in small batches, their sandwich menu looks divinely mouth-watering, and I love their instructions: 'brew coffee, drink it, be happy.' Yes! Looking at their bean guide makes me want to enroll in coffee college. Does that exist? The long skinny entry way felt a little disconcerting, but good news it opens up a bit on the north end of the shop with several tables. I'm a fan! Four caffeinated stars for you, which I expect to add to once I've returned to sample the eats.
(4)Barb B.
ink! is a really nice little spot for coffee, snacks, and to hang out in Cherry Creek. It is pretty small inside, but during the summer I enjoy sitting on the front patio watching the world go by. It is a bit expensive - $5 for coffee and a piece of coffee cake - but then again the coffee cake is HUGE and very delicious. The drip coffee here is pretty good, but the Americanos are fabulous. I've heard really good things about the fancy frou-frou drinks, but I don't drink those so I can't really say. The service is always friendly. Of all the coffee shops in Cherry Creek, ink! is my favorite.
(4)Quincy B.
What ever that powder is that they use I want to live near the place that they make it. I want to have it delivered to my house so that I can have it every day. They are everywhere, they don't have drive ups(which I love and hate) and they are always super friendly. My fav one in Riverfront Park.
(5)Michael P.
Well this week is Employee Appreciation Week in Downtown Denver - and they are participating with a free "coffee break" today! Their brewed coffee (hot) was delicious - and I commend them for participating/donating. Thank you ink!
(5)Alexis G.
O.M.G. Made it to the Cherry Creek location Monday afternoon, had a Nut Case. Had it before? PLEASE try it! Ready? Hot, espresso, nutty, vanilla-y, a-ma-zing!! But it could have been the girls. Rachel makes a perfect cup of coffee and the cool blonde chick at the register was great too. Great customer service. ink! is the best! LOVE you guys, keep up the good work! Side note: Jane D on the 17th? Are you CRAZY? Please stop bringing your old Starbucks coffee in and trying to pass it off as good ink! coffee. Poor form.
(5)Joshua B.
They have great coffee!! I drink A LOT of coffee, and its pretty good. Also, their blended "white and black" is fantastic. Supposedly the white mix comes in an a box that does not list the ingredients... It must have heroin in it because it's highly addictive. The baristas are all super cool. It's a mid-modern type retro design on the inside, with lots of comfortable seating and free wifi (no code needed).
(5)Carissa N.
best. sandwich. ever. I followed Yelp reviews to go to this coffee shop for sandwiches, and I was not disappointed. I got the tuna sandwich to go, and the service couldn't have been faster. The sandwich wasn't cheap, but it had artichokes and imported Italian tuna. It was amazing. I can't say anything about the coffee, because I didn't get any. I needed to find a great neighborhood sandwich shop, and I found it in Ink. Yummy!
(4)Polly L.
Ahh ink! I grew up seeing the brand and have been in more than my fair share of times now that I live in Denver. What a lack of customer service and appreciation, especially at this location. You bet you'll get a smirk for ordering the wrong drink. They believe they're the best around and maybe that's the problem. The coffee is great but the snobby staff puts it at the top of my list of places to avoid.
(2)Rob L.
Ok, YES the coffee is actually REALLY good! LOVE their little menu too! However the WINNER for me is that anywhere I can go and TOTALLY BS with the staff and have fun and just be witty, in to their gig is definitely gonna win me over and make me go back again and again! All 3 that were on staff today were TOTALLY cool and witty and rolled with our commentaries! So thankfully the place was good because it makes WANTING to go back that MUCH better! Thanks guys!!!!
(5)Andrea R.
Ok- so I've only been here once. But I am still thinking about the Americano I had here 3 weeks ago. If ever I've had a perfect one... this was it. Thats all.
(4)Serena L.
My friends found this gem on Yelp on our road trip! After going to the best-burger-place-on-earth, we stopped by Ink! to get some much needed iced coffee (coffee junkies!)! What I got was wayyy beyond my expectation! Very nice decor, matching colors on the walls. Even the bathroom was very modern-it had a rectangular-shaped toilet bowl! Who has that?! While you're doing your business, there's also a sign that you can't help but read about the history of the coffee company (can't really rmb but it kept me reading till the end). I tried the iced white coffee and decided to go with that. It was SOOOOO GOOD! The secret's in that whitish powder they mix with a blender into the coffee. I wasn't expecting that blast of flavor when I took my first sip, but OMG it was GOOOOD! It kinda tasted like it had hints of vanilla, soy, hazelnut in it...no hint of watery in the coffee at all! Normally I have to add more milk/sugar/cinnamon into my coffee to make it the way I want it, but Ink! made it PERFECT! I didn't have to add anything! I would come here everyday, but too bad I live in CA! Came back the 2nd day and ordered the B&W over ice, but bad choice. It was overpowering and thick. Note: Please get it ice blended as they recommend, I made a mistake of ordering it over ice. Anyway, the Iced White Coffee is the Best! I will be back at least once in my lifetime! See you again Ink!
(5)Jill S.
Another stop on my Cherry Creek coffee tour. Hey, sometimes my mid-day break needs a longer walk than Aviano! ink! is a great standby but not my favorite. They're always nice and the coffee's not bad, but it's not really noteworthy either. However, as many peeps have listed before, their bathroom is AWESOME.
(3)Chris V.
Their iced B&W drink was on the spot. Not too sweet, not to bland. This was my first time in an Ink! Coffee. Definitely a hip and trendy place with a lot of contemporary furniture. Probably not to shab for a 1st date or business meeting. Ample outdoor seating too weather permitting.
(3)Celia S.
With Denver lacking MAJOR in the coffee shop department-I couldn't have been happier to see this Ink Coffee! I hate any amount of money I might have to spend on a corporate monstrosity like Starbucks! I spotted a parking spot out front snatched it and headed in-It has been years since I was in an Ink and they have way more selections than I remember--since I am so indecisive, it left me thinking I probably should have paid for my parking spot! They have some amazing blends from all over the world including Costa Rica, Africa, Venezuela and many many more! The Batista's here are very knowledgeable and will give you the lowdown on any drink they have! I honestly couldn't have asked for better service! They have tons of hot coffee, blended drinks, cold drinks and smoothies! I went for the adrenaline junkie--the name pretty much sums it up, I was awake and pumped for anything at that point! The set-up is pretty trendy and modern with seating inside and some tables outside--it would have been nice to relax with some coffee and just chill and enjoy the 77 degree weather--yeah!~! I am a big fan and am extremely happy that places like Ink exist! Come here and support an awesome Colorado coffee spot when in need of your next caffeine fix!!
(5)Eric L.
Ugh. Leave it to a Cherry Creek to corner the Denver market on establishments that boost prices beyond the quality of their products. Ink fits right in. When my office moved across the street to Ink I was excited to have a coffee place close by. One visit cured my excitement. Ink has among the most expensive coffee prices around. That would all be well and good if the coffee was somehow unique or hand poured (a la Philz in San Francisco), but it is not. It's plain-ol' coffee. It's good coffee but not remarkable and very overpriced.
(3)Sara O.
ink! Marks the Spot for Best Espresso ink! is the only reason I'll find myself paying for parking and inconveniencing myself in the over-crowded district of Cherry Creek North. This is more than a coffee company, it's an experience. And their staff are not just baristas, they're magicians. I've never had a more rich and silky espresso and frothy foam. This place, with an understated charm, has made me an espresso enthusiast when such drinks used to be just an occasional treat. And don't miss out on the spicy breakfast burrito, made by a company in Boulder. This vegetarian delight is packed with fresh eggs, cheese, potatoes and a spicy green chili that will leave you running for another iced mocha. It's warmed in a toaster over, leaving the inside hot and gooey and the outer tortilla perfectly crisp. Mmmm, I think I'll go there tomorrow.
(5)Tim T.
The service here is always great. The staff is very friendly and helpful. I enjoy the desserts and coffee!
(4)Daniel F.
Very friendly staff, led by a very sweet and charismatic manager, Roxy. More importantly, the reason to go there is they make a darn good cup of coffee!
(5)Kevin S.
Not a huge coffee fan, but a friend recommended the smoothies. Smoothies are good, reasonable and fresh. The staff is friendly. Cool place to hang. Inside is clean with free Wifi, check out the bathroom, very modern and cool. Outside has several tables and a few off to the east side that no one really seems to know about. Parking is tough, as it always is in Cherry Creek, but there is a parking garage across the street and you may get lucky and get a spot on the street. Sandwiches looked good but seemed a bit pricey. Overall, if you are looking for a good coffee place to hang or a place to have a meeting outside the office, give it a try.
(4)Ilona F.
If you're the tea half of a coffee/tea duo, never fear. Ink! has tea, too, even though it is not advertised on their website. They serve about a handful each of blacks, greens and herbals. I ordered the wonderfully named "Tea of Inquiry", a bold green. The venue is sophisticated and clean, rather than cozy, the acoustics not the greatest if you prefer speaking in hushed tones.
(3)Lizzie M.
The coffee here is really tops. The baristas made me feel welcome immediately, not like I wasn't cool enough for their coffee, like "some places". I was a little disappointed with the parking situation, both for my car and for my butt once I was inside the shop. It's crowded and LOUD. I was planning on getting some work done, but that was not in the cards at ink. I won't make that mistake again, but if I can find parking I will definitely slip in for a to-go latte!
(4)Peter P.
Good Coffee..but keep in mind; basically every coffee place around Cherry Creek, excluding Starbucks is awesome. I ordered the Blended Black, basically a mocha frappachino. Kind of pricy, but what coffee joint with experienced baristas wouldn't charge a lot? I'd come back, its definitely in the neighborhood.
(4)David B.
If there ever was a coffee shop that deserved an exclamation point its this one....!.... It's a great coffee shop to grab a quick drink or to sit and while away the afternoon. The only negative is the general lack of free parking in Cherry Creek, avoid the temptation to park in the Whole Foods parking lot, they will ticket you. I would suggest the Bed Bath and Beyond lot across 1st, its not a bad walk.
(4)Kristina N.
I stumbled into ink! for lunch on a recent trip to Denver and am really upset that I found it on my last day in the city. If they renamed their place to ink!! I do not think anyone would balk at the addition of a second exclamation point. The sandwiches here are phenomenal, are a good-sized portion and are reasonably priced. I had the contadina sandwich which consisted of marinated artichokes, roasted red peppers, fresh mozzarella, sun-dried tomato pesto, and lettuce. Had I not already made dinner plans for the evening, I would have been gluttonous and ordered a second to munch on during my afternoon meetings. I also bought a bag of the rosemary potato chips and have vowed to replicate them this summer and fall when my personal rosemary bush is in full bloom.
(5)James G.
In Cherry Creek & need some hot coffee goodness to get those gears turning? Ink is the stop to make, nice atmosphere too.
(4)Shannon T.
I go through Ink withdrawal whenever I leave the state. Amazing coffee and even more amazing staff. The guys are helpful and always super friendly. The Avalanche is def my fave coffee concoction ever - enough caffeine to last you through the worst of morning afters and enough chocolatey goodness to make your heart smile (between quickened beats, of course). Ink = amazing and yet another CO success. With that said, I do have one complaint: the hours. Ink closes early, which is unfortunate because the coffee shops down the street stay open much later.
(5)Justin B.
Really good coffee. I have already been a number of times and it is always consistent. The frozen blended coffee is amazing as well. The internet is nice and fast and best of all you don't need to ask for a code. The staff all seem quite pleasant. I would recommend you check out Ink if you are in the area!
(4)Tarra M.
Ink! opened a location a couple of months ago in the Sage Building at 16th & Welton downtown. I was very excited to have an alternative to the 10 SB I pass on my way to work every morning. The decor is very modern, clean, and classy. Free wi-fi and there always seems to be plenty of seating. Ink! is a Colorado native so it's nice to support the locals. They also strive to use as many local businesses as possible (as I was told by one barista) such as Third Street Chai (Boulder). One gripe I have is the extra 70 cents (yes, SEVEN-TY) cents for soy...grr! It's also frustrating that they have only ONE size for iced drinks. However, the staff is always friendly and helpful and they provide consistent lattes and chais no matter who makes them.
(4)Jessica P.
I went here last Friday for a business meeting and was definitely impressed with the overall packaging. The decor is modern, the Italian soda I had was yummy, the seating was very posh, they had wi fi so we could conduct our meeting, and the bathroom was even impressive. Its definitely not the warm cozy home feel of most cafes but a great place to get work done.I give any coffee shops props that try to even enter the Starbucks monopoly.,,well done ink! Oh and parking is pretty tricky.
(4)Kristn K.
I love Ink! The coffee is good, the people are great and fun, and I like the location and free wireless. I've been following Ink! around as they open new locations for the last couple of years. I am always looking for good alternatives to Starbucks (which I'm not a fan of), where the coffee is dependable and where it is convenient to work (wireless!), meet people (location!), and fun-- I think Ink! has it all. The only thing I'd change is would be to make it a little less "corporate" looking and add some wine.
(5)Jordan A.
Ink! is fine. Their coffee is pretty decent. The ambiance is hip, left-over from the previous coffee shop. The pastry selection is nothing to scream about. Hours of operation suck--they close at 6pm, even on weekends. These days, Peet's across the street is my first choice for coffee in the area.
(3)Bethany B.
great bagels, AWESOME iced dirty chai latte :)!!!! always pretty quiet so a great place to study. also a very convenient location- right in cherry creek. two thumbs up!
(4)Amy S.
This may be the best coffee in Denver! Their coffee has a creamy texture to it...I think it's because of the way that they roast the beans? It's great!
(5)Emily S.
This place always has good service and the coffee is really good and that is coming from a coffee snob. Downfalls are that if you order anything iced it comes in one size and it is quite pricey. Starbucks is affordable in comparison. This place did introduce me to my favorite mug so an extra star for that. And they offer .25 off for refills.
(4)Louis H.
The black and white is yummy. I had a,single shot of espresso and it was perfect. Lots of chocolate without being too sweet. Looking forward to my next one already.
(5)Aaron V.
Always a great experience, the baristas are legit and very energetic! So if your in the area and want a locally made coffee, get here!
(5)Reid W.
The atmosphere was nice as were the employees, but the mocha I ordered was subpar. They use a powder rather than syrup which always yields disappointing results. In this case very disappointing; it had a very odd salty taste and very little chocolate flavor. Never tried their other drinks but after that disappointing experience I won't be back.
(2)Charlie K.
Best coffee in Denver. Company is local, it's very clean, and it is always a treat to start your AM at Ink!
(5)Natalie C.
Located in the beautiful Cherry Creek neighborhood is this oh so yummy coffee shop. Great brews & perfect strolls. Worth a stop in.
(4)Brooke K.
As a part time barista myself i highly recommend ink! Not only was the staff attentive & knowledgeable but my barista created some beautiful latte art on my pumpkin latte which was in an awesome "for here" mug! You could taste the coffee is fresh roasted in Aspen and the cozy shop feel had great free wifi and outlets to charge my power from a half day shopping in Cherry Creek North! So fun, you must stop in!
(5)Hannah I.
I still love ink, but I don't like that there is only one size available for cold drinks- huge (24 oz.) This hindered my summer visits. I'm looking forward to a white mocha once it's cold outside, and I can get whatever size I want.
(3)Tim W.
The best coffee we've experience all the way from California. Their spicy ginger chai is the best chai I have EVER had. The regular coffee is also outstanding. Maybe a little expensive, but delicious Tasty.
(5)Kelly R.
I'm a fan, plain and simple. Great coffee, not pretentious. Cute baristas... Always smiling.
(4)Megan M.
I work from home and sometimes I need to get out to stay focused. This is my first time here and I love the energy. There is the hustle and bustle of business people coming in for daily breakfast and bevvie, individuals like myself working alone and two-tops having conversation. The right amount of volume and commotion. The wonderful women behind the counter are genuinely friendly, energetic and greet their regulars with a personal hello. They offered two delivery men a complimentary drink as a thank you. I am enjoying the blueberry green tea however the burritos and coffee smell delicious. I'll be back, ink!, you've won me over.
(5)Justin W.
Ink, you have a lot of chips stacked against you. Paid parking, mediocre coffee, another coffeeshop 50 feet away, and you have the worst internet I've experienced at a coffeeshop in Denver (I've been here 4 times and left 4 times because I forget each time how bad your internet is). I mean, either have internet or don't but don't make your fellow patrons want to pull their hair out. That's right - I'm typing with one hand because a handful of hair is in my left. I want to like you. I like coffee. It should work. But it doesn't yet.
(3)Mila G.
Weakest chai tea I've ever had. It was like water. And I even had soy milk in it, but it still didn't have flavor! The space is really nice, long and narrow with 2-person tables. People rave about this place but I've been a bit disappointed with it. In the Cherry Creek Mall area, so there's little to no parking, and expect to pay big time if you are late back to your meter.
(2)William M.
Their coffee is STRONG! They don't screw around when it comes to the brew. But they do screw around behind the counter! Every employee here feels like they're a friend who just hopped behind the counter to make you a coffee. The vibe the staff create is fun, welcoming, and energetic. They make the horrible drive through Cherry Reek rush hour construction totally worth it! Also - absolutely the BEST blended Chai I've ever had anywhere ever. No joke.
(5)Lucia H.
Best coffee! Amazing baristas and real knowledge of where their coffee comes from. They direct source from farms. And it's a local company that you can tell has integrity for their product.
(5)Pete S.
Work nearby and have many a coffee option. This place sees me most everyday. Get the Avalanche.
(5)M S.
Ink has the best bagels ever. And really good coffee/hot chocolate. I love going here and it's delicious
(5)Norma R.
It's funny, because I used to have a big problem with the Ink! in Aspen, and I avoided it for a long time. Then, I moved to Denver and have had coffee from a few of the Ink!s here and... well, it's not good. The coffee is great, sure. The sandwiches? Very yummy. But, alas, that does not a good coffee shop make. Still lacking in now two different locations is the service and staff. Aloof, inattentive, vaguely unfriendly but not aggressive, which would be fine on its own. But the place here in Cherry Creek is *filthy*, especially the bathroom. Think grown up, trust fund frat boy bathroom. Great fixtures and totally gross: the trash can has caked dirt around its base. The toilet bowl, while fun and modern as a toilet bowl can be, is gross and looks like it hasn't been cleaned in ages. The sink has a bunch of goo in it around the stones like it, too, has been neglected. The mirrors, the doors... no wiping. And almost every ledge has dust and dirt collecting around it. The dining room is also filthy... we were there doing homework for a few hours and didn't see one of the three employees on shift come around with a rag to clean tabletops or sweep. Thats kind of a thing, keeping a place where people eat and drink tidy. Ink!, I want to love you so much but I think... I think it's over.

Good coffee. Great signage. Feels like it was Portal-inspired. (the signage, not the coffee) I love the simplicity of having a single size for iced beverages. Be warned tho- those lattes are strong!
(4)Nicole Y.
I got an iced white chai with skim milk and a shot of expresso and it was amazing. Chai's are often watery however, this chai was creamy and flavorful! The place was busy but we were in and out in less than 10 min. Def worth going again!!

This is such a cool trendy spot right in the heart of Cherry Creek North. The atmosphere is very hip and cool, and the decor is really modern and relaxing. But here's what you really want to know: The coffee is soooo good!!!! I had a blended black and white mocha and a quick brain freeze later, it was gone. Their prices looked a little high to me, but when I received my regular sized blended drink, it was much larger than a grande at Starbucks...and so full of icy deliciousness!
(5)Mar K.
The coffee is amazing and this place has the most fun personalities behind the counter. I laugh every time I go here and feel good when I leave. They consistently make the best coffee too! Highly recommend this place!
(5)Chris A.
Starbucks is still my 'everyday' coffee, but when I run by an Ink! I usually do try to stop in. Really great drinks to pick from- all of them taste whole and creamy!
(4)Gema D.
Best espresso in Colorado, coffee is amazing but today I decided on hot chocolate. Oh my goodness best hot almond milk hot chocolate I've ever had. Great service, clean friendly like always.
(5)Katie R.
Cheery Creek...an area of town i haven't really explored too much of...considering i live in the boondocks of littleton. however, i met miss Laura L for a quick coffee to just catch up. i ordered a flavored chai and fell right in love. normally i'm all about coffee, coffee, coffee but this day...not so much. the flavors were amazing and the i drank my special beverage to the last drop. YUM!! ink coffee=my new love :)
(4)Amy O.
Wow, um, holy crap. Iced black and white? I'm not surprised it was OVER $6 because there was definitely drugs, or nicotine, or gold in this beverage. The sign said 2x espresso, white and dark chocolate, and milk. But again, it was so good that it definitely contained one of the above mentioned substances. The drink usually comes blended but I asked for it iced. It was really thick though. Almost like a combo between iced and blended. Wow. probably a zillion calories too but maybe it's like your once-a-month reward yourself drink.
(4)Terry L.
Stopped in here this afternoon for a little biz chat/ brainstorming session. Good coffee but nothing special. On to the good and bad of this review then: Good: clean design with HUGE windows, prompt friendly Barista. Bad: Parking-- which kinda goes for the Cherry Creek area as a whole and isn't really reflected for this review per se. I'm not a fan of Starbucks or anything resembling chain places for coffee (hence my addiction with Pablo's) I was headed to lunch later-- so I didn't order food. I'll have to stop back in for a Yelp update including snax sometime-- maybe as a great Cafe stop in a sunny bicycle ride!
(3)Unshod J.
Decent little coffee place. If you are looking for modern style and free wi-fi this is the place to go. It wasn't very busy at all so we were able to enjoy nice conversation while people watching. The coffee is smooth as the bathroom literature suggests. Not really my style of place so that is the reason for only 3 stars. Also didn't have a large variety of baked goods.
(3)Lindsay A.
I have a perfect fall day in Denver to shop and do whatever I please. Since I just got back from Puerto Vallarta I'm a little tired from all the travel, so I need some fuel. Bypassing the usual Starbucks, I go for a little something more unique in the neighborhood. Ink Coffee is what I go with. I order a medium white chocolate mocha and a vegetarian sandwich. I think its a little pricey but when it comes out, it is HUGE! the bread is soft and delicious and balsamic is bursting with flavor. The coffee was awesome and perfect temperature. I will definately be coming back here in the future.
(5)K B.
Order the HIGH-FIVE -Almond or Soy Milk -2 shots of espresso -1 Banana -Protein powder -1 scoop of peanut butter ...and I think that is it Its a perfect afternoon pick-me-up or better a wake-up call! Good service and not to loud to have a bit of a quit time. You pay a good price-but you get what you pay for.
(5)Courtney B.
Many locations and outstanding coffee! Get a blended B&B with a spoonful of peanut butter. It will change ur life!
(4)Tim W.
The best coffee we've experience all the way from California. Their spicy ginger chai is the best chai I have EVER had. The regular coffee is also outstanding. Maybe a little expensive, but delicious Tasty.
(5)Kelly R.
I'm a fan, plain and simple. Great coffee, not pretentious. Cute baristas... Always smiling.
(4)Megan M.
I work from home and sometimes I need to get out to stay focused. This is my first time here and I love the energy. There is the hustle and bustle of business people coming in for daily breakfast and bevvie, individuals like myself working alone and two-tops having conversation. The right amount of volume and commotion. The wonderful women behind the counter are genuinely friendly, energetic and greet their regulars with a personal hello. They offered two delivery men a complimentary drink as a thank you. I am enjoying the blueberry green tea however the burritos and coffee smell delicious. I'll be back, ink!, you've won me over.
(5)Justin W.
Ink, you have a lot of chips stacked against you. Paid parking, mediocre coffee, another coffeeshop 50 feet away, and you have the worst internet I've experienced at a coffeeshop in Denver (I've been here 4 times and left 4 times because I forget each time how bad your internet is). I mean, either have internet or don't but don't make your fellow patrons want to pull their hair out. That's right - I'm typing with one hand because a handful of hair is in my left. I want to like you. I like coffee. It should work. But it doesn't yet.
(3)Mila G.
Weakest chai tea I've ever had. It was like water. And I even had soy milk in it, but it still didn't have flavor! The space is really nice, long and narrow with 2-person tables. People rave about this place but I've been a bit disappointed with it. In the Cherry Creek Mall area, so there's little to no parking, and expect to pay big time if you are late back to your meter.
(2)William M.
Their coffee is STRONG! They don't screw around when it comes to the brew. But they do screw around behind the counter! Every employee here feels like they're a friend who just hopped behind the counter to make you a coffee. The vibe the staff create is fun, welcoming, and energetic. They make the horrible drive through Cherry Reek rush hour construction totally worth it! Also - absolutely the BEST blended Chai I've ever had anywhere ever. No joke.
(5)Lucia H.
Best coffee! Amazing baristas and real knowledge of where their coffee comes from. They direct source from farms. And it's a local company that you can tell has integrity for their product.
(5)Pete S.
Work nearby and have many a coffee option. This place sees me most everyday. Get the Avalanche.
(5)M S.
Ink has the best bagels ever. And really good coffee/hot chocolate. I love going here and it's delicious
(5)Emily S.
This place always has good service and the coffee is really good and that is coming from a coffee snob. Downfalls are that if you order anything iced it comes in one size and it is quite pricey. Starbucks is affordable in comparison. This place did introduce me to my favorite mug so an extra star for that. And they offer .25 off for refills.
(4)Louis H.
The black and white is yummy. I had a,single shot of espresso and it was perfect. Lots of chocolate without being too sweet. Looking forward to my next one already.
(5)Aaron V.
Always a great experience, the baristas are legit and very energetic! So if your in the area and want a locally made coffee, get here!
(5)Reid W.
The atmosphere was nice as were the employees, but the mocha I ordered was subpar. They use a powder rather than syrup which always yields disappointing results. In this case very disappointing; it had a very odd salty taste and very little chocolate flavor. Never tried their other drinks but after that disappointing experience I won't be back.
(2)Charlie K.
Best coffee in Denver. Company is local, it's very clean, and it is always a treat to start your AM at Ink!
(5)Natalie C.
Located in the beautiful Cherry Creek neighborhood is this oh so yummy coffee shop. Great brews & perfect strolls. Worth a stop in.
(4)Brooke K.
As a part time barista myself i highly recommend ink! Not only was the staff attentive & knowledgeable but my barista created some beautiful latte art on my pumpkin latte which was in an awesome "for here" mug! You could taste the coffee is fresh roasted in Aspen and the cozy shop feel had great free wifi and outlets to charge my power from a half day shopping in Cherry Creek North! So fun, you must stop in!
(5)Hannah I.
I still love ink, but I don't like that there is only one size available for cold drinks- huge (24 oz.) This hindered my summer visits. I'm looking forward to a white mocha once it's cold outside, and I can get whatever size I want.
(3)Gema D.
Best espresso in Colorado, coffee is amazing but today I decided on hot chocolate. Oh my goodness best hot almond milk hot chocolate I've ever had. Great service, clean friendly like always.
(5)Dan K.
Friendly and efficient staff; wifi speed not ideal, but good enough to get work done; lots of counter seating with power outlets. Oh, and the coffee's excellent, too!
(4)Ryan H.
Favorite coffee spot in Denver. Try the mocha or one of the blended. They're the best!
(5)Norma R.
It's funny, because I used to have a big problem with the Ink! in Aspen, and I avoided it for a long time. Then, I moved to Denver and have had coffee from a few of the Ink!s here and... well, it's not good. The coffee is great, sure. The sandwiches? Very yummy. But, alas, that does not a good coffee shop make. Still lacking in now two different locations is the service and staff. Aloof, inattentive, vaguely unfriendly but not aggressive, which would be fine on its own. But the place here in Cherry Creek is *filthy*, especially the bathroom. Think grown up, trust fund frat boy bathroom. Great fixtures and totally gross: the trash can has caked dirt around its base.

2012 Review #326: I have long loved me some ink! In fact, there was an ink! in a strip mall where I grew up, back when there were only 2-3 locations. Then, it sadly burned up, and they didn't replace it. We went to the ink! in Aspen and the service was flat-out atrocious. Luckily, this ink! doesn't have the CCN attitude that could so easily accompany it. Not much has changed since I started going to ink! locations around 10 years ago. One thing has changed- the prices. Prices have gone up $1.40 on blended drinks (yes, I remember) in 10 years, but, that's not that much. One thing that semi-unfortunately has not changed is their sizes. You can only get a 24 oz. size on blended and iced drinks. Granted, they're delicious, but that's a lot of drink. I often get my favorite blended drink as a meal, because otherwise it's just too much. My go-to drink has been, and probably will always be, a blended white. It's delicious, and creamy, and *does not use syrup*. I repeat- ink! does not make their blended drinks with syrup. They use powders, much like malt powder, and they automatically use skim milk in their blended drinks (but whole milk in their iced drinks, fyi). I'm not sure all the staff does this, though, because I always specify skim milk in my blended drinks, and sometimes they say "oh sure, no problem" and sometimes they say "we do that automatically", so, who knows. They have a good selection of baked goods, like crumb cake, cookies, etc. They also have some delicious bagel options like parmesan, though I don't know what bakery supplies them. Worst thing about this store is the parking situation- if you're at the mall or Whole Foods, just walk over, because all the nearby parking is paid and it's always crowded. But, the drinks are also delicious, so it's a low price to pay.
(4)Yumiko K.
This ink! Coffee Company is very lovely. I loved how bright and clean inside the coffee shop was. The coffee was good and strong. Their carrot and walnut bread was moist and fluffy. To top it all off, the staff was super friendly. What a lovely oasis!
(4)Mike F.
Good coffee and a sandwich that was likewise good, but mostly bread for $10; $12+ after coffee. Adding a handful of chips or a pickle would go a long way. Guess that comes with the neighborhood. Nice options for plugging in lappys and other hardware. Lastly, and this isn't limited to Ink!, but it's frustrating that in this day and age that faster and more reliable WIFI isn't available for joints like this. I was dropped more than a couple times. Frustrating when you consider most all of the peeps in there were working AND eating/drinking. I know I'd seek out a place with superior connections.
(3)Brad C.
If you're looking for great coffee, this is as good as a "chain" can get. Excellent lattes made from baristas who actually care about the coffee they make. You can also purchase a variety of beans to take home. Wifi is available, but be forewarned that it is slow and if you are there to get some work done, other patrons can be loud.
(5)J P.
Great people. great service. great product. I don't know what they do, but their mochas are just creamier and tastier than all others. I've been trying different places around town for years but always seem to be coming back to ink.
(5)Tiffany N.
I wanted to update this review sheerly to mention the bathrooms at Ink. If you are one of those yelpers that has a "best bathroom" list here in Denver (and I know there are quite a few of you) you should check these out. The toilet is rectangle and the flusher part is a rectangle box-thing on the wall that's quite big. The sink is long and rectangular as well and full of black rocks along the bottom. It seems that the rectangle theme isn't limited to just the seating area itself.
(3)Caitlin D.
Every single time I go in there the girl employees are rude and give me short answers. I can hear the way they talk to other customers in front of me or after me and they are overly nice them. I always come in with a smile on and say please and thank you. So who knows why the girls are rude. The coffee and food are good.
(2)Andrea R.
If I have more than 1 coffee in a day I'm wide awake for 48 hours....not kidding. And since I had already grabbed a much needed latte at the Denver airport that morning I decided against a second cup of coffee at Ink. It would be a bottle of water for this overly caffeinated gal! But that didn't stop me from enjoying the cool rectangular atmosphere at Ink... Everything here is super modern in a rectangular shape...even the toilet in the bathroom is in the shape of a rectangle. I want a rectangular toilet at home! I did get lots of work done using their free wifi (thanks) when I decided I really needed/wanted a rice krispie treat. Unfortunately, I soon discovered that they don't serve rice krispie treats here, although i did see some tasty looking blueberry scones! Clearly they need to add rice krispie treats to their menu...afterall, they are rectangular too!
(4)Laura L.
All I can say is, in all my treks to Cherry Creek, why the heck haven't I stopped in here sooner? Insanity, I tell you. Insanity. Protege extraordinaire, Katie R, and I stopped in here today for a post-lunch pick-me-up and I think their hot B+W is my new BFF. Espresso, steamed milk, black and white chocolate powder, all mixed together in hot, melty, sugary, caffeinated goodness. I may just have to shop for b+w chocolate powder, because it sounds like the elixir of the gods. I really like a few things about Ink: they're a Colorado company, they roast their beans in small batches, their sandwich menu looks divinely mouth-watering, and I love their instructions: 'brew coffee, drink it, be happy.' Yes! Looking at their bean guide makes me want to enroll in coffee college. Does that exist? The long skinny entry way felt a little disconcerting, but good news it opens up a bit on the north end of the shop with several tables. I'm a fan! Four caffeinated stars for you, which I expect to add to once I've returned to sample the eats.
(4)Barb B.
ink! is a really nice little spot for coffee, snacks, and to hang out in Cherry Creek. It is pretty small inside, but during the summer I enjoy sitting on the front patio watching the world go by. It is a bit expensive - $5 for coffee and a piece of coffee cake - but then again the coffee cake is HUGE and very delicious. The drip coffee here is pretty good, but the Americanos are fabulous. I've heard really good things about the fancy frou-frou drinks, but I don't drink those so I can't really say. The service is always friendly. Of all the coffee shops in Cherry Creek, ink! is my favorite.
(4)Quincy B.
What ever that powder is that they use I want to live near the place that they make it. I want to have it delivered to my house so that I can have it every day. They are everywhere, they don't have drive ups(which I love and hate) and they are always super friendly. My fav one in Riverfront Park.
(5)Michael P.
Well this week is Employee Appreciation Week in Downtown Denver - and they are participating with a free "coffee break" today! Their brewed coffee (hot) was delicious - and I commend them for participating/donating. Thank you ink!
(5)Alexis G.
O.M.G. Made it to the Cherry Creek location Monday afternoon, had a Nut Case. Had it before? PLEASE try it! Ready? Hot, espresso, nutty, vanilla-y, a-ma-zing!! But it could have been the girls. Rachel makes a perfect cup of coffee and the cool blonde chick at the register was great too. Great customer service. ink! is the best! LOVE you guys, keep up the good work! Side note: Jane D on the 17th? Are you CRAZY? Please stop bringing your old Starbucks coffee in and trying to pass it off as good ink! coffee. Poor form.
(5)Joshua B.
They have great coffee!! I drink A LOT of coffee, and its pretty good. Also, their blended "white and black" is fantastic. Supposedly the white mix comes in an a box that does not list the ingredients... It must have heroin in it because it's highly addictive. The baristas are all super cool. It's a mid-modern type retro design on the inside, with lots of comfortable seating and free wifi (no code needed).
(5)Carissa N.
best. sandwich. ever. I followed Yelp reviews to go to this coffee shop for sandwiches, and I was not disappointed. I got the tuna sandwich to go, and the service couldn't have been faster. The sandwich wasn't cheap, but it had artichokes and imported Italian tuna. It was amazing. I can't say anything about the coffee, because I didn't get any. I needed to find a great neighborhood sandwich shop, and I found it in Ink. Yummy!
(4)Polly L.
Ahh ink! I grew up seeing the brand and have been in more than my fair share of times now that I live in Denver. What a lack of customer service and appreciation, especially at this location. You bet you'll get a smirk for ordering the wrong drink. They believe they're the best around and maybe that's the problem. The coffee is great but the snobby staff puts it at the top of my list of places to avoid.
(2)Rob L.
Ok, YES the coffee is actually REALLY good! LOVE their little menu too! However the WINNER for me is that anywhere I can go and TOTALLY BS with the staff and have fun and just be witty, in to their gig is definitely gonna win me over and make me go back again and again! All 3 that were on staff today were TOTALLY cool and witty and rolled with our commentaries! So thankfully the place was good because it makes WANTING to go back that MUCH better! Thanks guys!!!!
(5)Andrea R.
Ok- so I've only been here once. But I am still thinking about the Americano I had here 3 weeks ago. If ever I've had a perfect one... this was it. Thats all.
(4)Peter P.
Good Coffee..but keep in mind; basically every coffee place around Cherry Creek, excluding Starbucks is awesome. I ordered the Blended Black, basically a mocha frappachino. Kind of pricy, but what coffee joint with experienced baristas wouldn't charge a lot? I'd come back, its definitely in the neighborhood.
(4)David B.
If there ever was a coffee shop that deserved an exclamation point its this one....!.... It's a great coffee shop to grab a quick drink or to sit and while away the afternoon. The only negative is the general lack of free parking in Cherry Creek, avoid the temptation to park in the Whole Foods parking lot, they will ticket you. I would suggest the Bed Bath and Beyond lot across 1st, its not a bad walk.
(4)Eric L.
Ugh. Leave it to a Cherry Creek to corner the Denver market on establishments that boost prices beyond the quality of their products. Ink fits right in. When my office moved across the street to Ink I was excited to have a coffee place close by. One visit cured my excitement. Ink has among the most expensive coffee prices around. That would all be well and good if the coffee was somehow unique or hand poured (a la Philz in San Francisco), but it is not. It's plain-ol' coffee. It's good coffee but not remarkable and very overpriced.
(3)Serena L.
My friends found this gem on Yelp on our road trip! After going to the best-burger-place-on-earth, we stopped by Ink! to get some much needed iced coffee (coffee junkies!)! What I got was wayyy beyond my expectation! Very nice decor, matching colors on the walls. Even the bathroom was very modern-it had a rectangular-shaped toilet bowl! Who has that?! While you're doing your business, there's also a sign that you can't help but read about the history of the coffee company (can't really rmb but it kept me reading till the end). I tried the iced white coffee and decided to go with that. It was SOOOOO GOOD! The secret's in that whitish powder they mix with a blender into the coffee. I wasn't expecting that blast of flavor when I took my first sip, but OMG it was GOOOOD! It kinda tasted like it had hints of vanilla, soy, hazelnut in it...no hint of watery in the coffee at all! Normally I have to add more milk/sugar/cinnamon into my coffee to make it the way I want it, but Ink! made it PERFECT! I didn't have to add anything! I would come here everyday, but too bad I live in CA! Came back the 2nd day and ordered the B&W over ice, but bad choice. It was overpowering and thick. Note: Please get it ice blended as they recommend, I made a mistake of ordering it over ice. Anyway, the Iced White Coffee is the Best! I will be back at least once in my lifetime! See you again Ink!
(5)Jill S.
Another stop on my Cherry Creek coffee tour. Hey, sometimes my mid-day break needs a longer walk than Aviano! ink! is a great standby but not my favorite. They're always nice and the coffee's not bad, but it's not really noteworthy either. However, as many peeps have listed before, their bathroom is AWESOME.
(3)Chris V.
Their iced B&W drink was on the spot. Not too sweet, not to bland. This was my first time in an Ink! Coffee. Definitely a hip and trendy place with a lot of contemporary furniture. Probably not to shab for a 1st date or business meeting. Ample outdoor seating too weather permitting.
(3)Celia S.
With Denver lacking MAJOR in the coffee shop department-I couldn't have been happier to see this Ink Coffee! I hate any amount of money I might have to spend on a corporate monstrosity like Starbucks! I spotted a parking spot out front snatched it and headed in-It has been years since I was in an Ink and they have way more selections than I remember--since I am so indecisive, it left me thinking I probably should have paid for my parking spot! They have some amazing blends from all over the world including Costa Rica, Africa, Venezuela and many many more! The Batista's here are very knowledgeable and will give you the lowdown on any drink they have! I honestly couldn't have asked for better service! They have tons of hot coffee, blended drinks, cold drinks and smoothies! I went for the adrenaline junkie--the name pretty much sums it up, I was awake and pumped for anything at that point! The set-up is pretty trendy and modern with seating inside and some tables outside--it would have been nice to relax with some coffee and just chill and enjoy the 77 degree weather--yeah!~! I am a big fan and am extremely happy that places like Ink exist! Come here and support an awesome Colorado coffee spot when in need of your next caffeine fix!!
(5)Sara O.
ink! Marks the Spot for Best Espresso ink! is the only reason I'll find myself paying for parking and inconveniencing myself in the over-crowded district of Cherry Creek North. This is more than a coffee company, it's an experience. And their staff are not just baristas, they're magicians. I've never had a more rich and silky espresso and frothy foam. This place, with an understated charm, has made me an espresso enthusiast when such drinks used to be just an occasional treat. And don't miss out on the spicy breakfast burrito, made by a company in Boulder. This vegetarian delight is packed with fresh eggs, cheese, potatoes and a spicy green chili that will leave you running for another iced mocha. It's warmed in a toaster over, leaving the inside hot and gooey and the outer tortilla perfectly crisp. Mmmm, I think I'll go there tomorrow.
(5)Tim T.
The service here is always great. The staff is very friendly and helpful. I enjoy the desserts and coffee!
(4)Daniel F.
Very friendly staff, led by a very sweet and charismatic manager, Roxy. More importantly, the reason to go there is they make a darn good cup of coffee!
(5)Kevin S.
Not a huge coffee fan, but a friend recommended the smoothies. Smoothies are good, reasonable and fresh. The staff is friendly. Cool place to hang. Inside is clean with free Wifi, check out the bathroom, very modern and cool. Outside has several tables and a few off to the east side that no one really seems to know about. Parking is tough, as it always is in Cherry Creek, but there is a parking garage across the street and you may get lucky and get a spot on the street. Sandwiches looked good but seemed a bit pricey. Overall, if you are looking for a good coffee place to hang or a place to have a meeting outside the office, give it a try.
(4)Ilona F.
If you're the tea half of a coffee/tea duo, never fear. Ink! has tea, too, even though it is not advertised on their website. They serve about a handful each of blacks, greens and herbals. I ordered the wonderfully named "Tea of Inquiry", a bold green. The venue is sophisticated and clean, rather than cozy, the acoustics not the greatest if you prefer speaking in hushed tones.
(3)Lizzie M.
The coffee here is really tops. The baristas made me feel welcome immediately, not like I wasn't cool enough for their coffee, like "some places". I was a little disappointed with the parking situation, both for my car and for my butt once I was inside the shop. It's crowded and LOUD. I was planning on getting some work done, but that was not in the cards at ink. I won't make that mistake again, but if I can find parking I will definitely slip in for a to-go latte!
(4)Kristina N.
I stumbled into ink! for lunch on a recent trip to Denver and am really upset that I found it on my last day in the city. If they renamed their place to ink!! I do not think anyone would balk at the addition of a second exclamation point. The sandwiches here are phenomenal, are a good-sized portion and are reasonably priced. I had the contadina sandwich which consisted of marinated artichokes, roasted red peppers, fresh mozzarella, sun-dried tomato pesto, and lettuce. Had I not already made dinner plans for the evening, I would have been gluttonous and ordered a second to munch on during my afternoon meetings. I also bought a bag of the rosemary potato chips and have vowed to replicate them this summer and fall when my personal rosemary bush is in full bloom.
(5)James G.
In Cherry Creek & need some hot coffee goodness to get those gears turning? Ink is the stop to make, nice atmosphere too.
(4)Shannon T.
I go through Ink withdrawal whenever I leave the state. Amazing coffee and even more amazing staff. The guys are helpful and always super friendly. The Avalanche is def my fave coffee concoction ever - enough caffeine to last you through the worst of morning afters and enough chocolatey goodness to make your heart smile (between quickened beats, of course). Ink = amazing and yet another CO success. With that said, I do have one complaint: the hours. Ink closes early, which is unfortunate because the coffee shops down the street stay open much later.
(5)Justin B.
Really good coffee. I have already been a number of times and it is always consistent. The frozen blended coffee is amazing as well. The internet is nice and fast and best of all you don't need to ask for a code. The staff all seem quite pleasant. I would recommend you check out Ink if you are in the area!

Ink! opened a location a couple of months ago in the Sage Building at 16th & Welton downtown. I was very excited to have an alternative to the 10 SB I pass on my way to work every morning. The decor is very modern, clean, and classy. Free wi-fi and there always seems to be plenty of seating. Ink! is a Colorado native so it's nice to support the locals. They also strive to use as many local businesses as possible (as I was told by one barista) such as Third Street Chai (Boulder). One gripe I have is the extra 70 cents (yes, SEVEN-TY) cents for soy...grr! It's also frustrating that they have only ONE size for iced drinks. However, the staff is always friendly and helpful and they provide consistent lattes and chais no matter who makes them.

I went here last Friday for a business meeting and was definitely impressed with the overall packaging. The decor is modern, the Italian soda I had was yummy, the seating was very posh, they had wi fi so we could conduct our meeting, and the bathroom was even impressive. Its definitely not the warm cozy home feel of most cafes but a great place to get work done.I give any coffee shops props that try to even enter the Starbucks monopoly.,,well done ink! Oh and parking is pretty tricky.

I love Ink! The coffee is good, the people are great and fun, and I like the location and free wireless. I've been following Ink! around as they open new locations for the last couple of years. I am always looking for good alternatives to Starbucks (which I'm not a fan of), where the coffee is dependable and where it is convenient to work (wireless!), meet people (location!), and fun-- I think Ink! has it all. The only thing I'd change is would be to make it a little less "corporate" looking and add some wine.

Ink! is fine. Their coffee is pretty decent. The ambiance is hip, left-over from the previous coffee shop. The pastry selection is nothing to scream about. Hours of operation suck--they close at 6pm, even on weekends. These days, Peet's across the street is my first choice for coffee in the area.

This may be the best coffee in Denver! Their coffee has a creamy texture to it...I think it's because of the way that they roast the beans? It's great!

After hearing much well deserved hype, I decided to try ink coffee. I was pleasantly surprised aesthetically as soon as I walked in and was greeted by a nice mohawk wearing young man. I had a great italiano sandwitch, made fresh to order, and oh so quickly. I hear the coffee is great and roasted in state, but do not let that girl Rachel make your drink, you will regret it. I received the most burn, awful tasting latte imaginable. It tasted like she ran down to starbucks and burn the milk even more on the way back. Exceptional food, great service, and good coffee, I hear (when certain people make it, I guess). Would recommend if you're willing to take a chance, or if you are not picky on your coffee temperature.

I love love love the coffee here! The espresso drinks are unbeatable and the food is awesome too. The only reason I didn't give 5 stars is because it is pretty pricey and also because the service is sometimes slow.
