We were wondering what exactly we were getting ourselves into, but WOW, we were so impressed. This is such a cute little coffee shop full of plants. We got a Chai Latte and a Lavender Latte with a burrito and ham and cheese croissant. Great food! Great drinks! Great service! Great atmosphere!! You won't regret stopping here!

Dandy Dion Coffee is a gem in Denver! The customer service here is absolutely excellent—friendly, welcoming, and attentive. I ordered their drip coffee, which comes with a free refill, and it was strong yet delicious, giving me the perfect boost of energy to tackle my day. The shop itself is clean and well-maintained, with an inviting atmosphere. They also sell some really cool plants, which add a unique touch and make it feel cozy. The swing seats are really fun to sit on! Just a heads-up, parking is on the street, so it’s not assigned to the business, but it’s worth the small walk if needed. I’ll definitely be back for more great coffee and vibes!

Super cute coffee shop wjth laid back cozy vibes- even has a little greenhouse that you can buy plants and cute boutique items. Decent amount of sitting, even with some hanging swing chairs.

This place is magic. The atmosphere of light music, plethora of plants, more unique coffee drinks (Vietnamese iced coffee!) and delightful touches like swings for some seats make it truly unique. From a person who prefers her couch to coffee shops for work, I’d switch it up for this spot.

This coffee shop is super cute! Unfortunately they serve a copy that I'm not a big fan of... Huckleberry and Corvus... That's not the coffee shop's fault I don't like them :-) The service was lackluster. Baristas seem a little bored and lavender latte was spelled and not cleaned up I cleaned it up right in front of the barista who did nothing to help. Which I find strange and a bit off putting.. But the atmosphere with swings and plants and cute decor- fun music. That was great! We don't live in the neighborhood so I'm not sad that it's not great and i hope that they do well.

A coffee shop that doubles as a plant shop? I’ll have twelve of them! I liked the atmosphere, friendly service, and that they served Vietnamese coffee - always my choice when a coffee shop has it. I was also able to find a place to sit and do some work. I’ll happily revisit.

This place had such a cool vibe, even tempting me to believe I could keep a cactus alive (spoiler: with my busy freelance lifestyle, that’s definitely not happening). I ordered the lavender iced latte, and it was perfection—a smooth, floral treat that hit the spot. The location itself was stunning, but I will say navigating to the shop was a bit tricky since the signs and names didn’t quite align. Still, I’m always up for a little adventure, and this spot made it worth it. Overall: 9/10. Highly recommend! @jadepetersen___

Street parking is the only option, but it’s worth it for this gem! The coffee was absolutely spectacular—rich, flavorful, and expertly brewed. The burritos were just as impressive, bursting with fresh ingredients and bold flavors. The staff was incredibly friendly and efficient, making the experience even better. As for the atmosphere, the interior had a unique, welcoming vibe that made it a perfect spot to relax or catch up with friends. Highly recommend!
