Nice little place we found walking in LoDo! Nice for a small breakfast or a mid-morning snack. Shaksukah croissant Was tasty!

A great little coffee shop that includes fresh bakery items. Service was great and the atmosphere was cozy.

Loved this place!! Cute corner spot with lots of windows and natural light, warmly decorated with industrial lighting fixtures and furniture with wood tones. Decent enough amount of seating, someone was leaving as we were sitting so our party of 5 was able to push a couple small tables together and have a nice place to sit. I ordered the roasted carved turkey and fig sandwich - delicious. The sourdough bread added a little texture and the fig jam was the perfect accent to the fresh warm turkey. I also had a cinnamon roll which was its own flaky crispy style and so delicious, as well as a peppermint shaken espresso - everything was perfect. My family had the avocado toast, the ham and cheese croissants, and the hot apple ciders. Everyone loved what they ordered. Can't wait to come back here.

This is a nice little spot for a light breakfast or lunch. The baked goods and pastries were amazingly good. Unfortunately the matzo ball soup was lukewarm. Otherwise everything was delicious. The cappuccino was excellent.

Pastries were fresh and a good variety. We got the cinnamon creme muffin, pumpkin bread slice, egg and cheese burrito with 2 lattes. Everything was tasty. Burrito needed hot sauce but was good and good size. Service was friendly. About $31 for everything. only suggestion is all the hot sauce containers need a good cleaning. The sides and tops of all of them were kinda gross for such a nice place. Ok so one more thing. I noticed they were bringing some people's food and drinks out and others they just called their names. Not sure but guessing that if you tip at the counter then maybe they will serve it to you otherwise you just pick up from counter. If so, I think that's fair. I like that policy.

Staff were super friendly. Nitro cold brew was strong and tasty. Baked goods were delicious. We are visiting from out of town and I wish we had more time to come back here to try other things.

I loved almost everything about this spot. The service was fantastic, the food was delish, and the coffee was perfect. The only thing I don't love is that it is located on 16th street but what can ya do? The customer service of the gal at the front was so amazing and refreshing. She walked me through the pastry case and guided me to the quiche florentine. I am so happy I took her recommendation because it was out of this world. The coffee was perfection and put a pep in my step. I would 100% recommend this spot to friends when they come in town!

I found "Little Finch" by serendipity...literally wanting dessert, and making a turn to "see where this road takes me" and found this very lovely cafe. Probably the best, most lovely cafe I've visited in a long while. I visited very late in the day and they still had some pastries left ! Bought two that looked and sounded awesome but there were plenty (left) to chose from...if I was at all thinking rationally I should have bought one pastry because they both looked rich and more than capable of satisfying my sweet tooth craving ! The two I bought: The "Nutella pop tart " was a delicious and decadent rendition of the pop tarts I grew up on. In fact so decadent..I couldn't finish it during that sitting. The "Vegan date bar", has the texture of fudge...so, so good... as any dessert I've had in a while...great texture, flavor and sweetness. I also got an Americano, to wash it all down, that had a wonderful chocolate note...served in a mug that reminded me of one I had a home. The pastries, the americano, the service/people and vibe was beyond. I wish I could come here every afternoon and repeat this experience.
