Higher Grounds Cafe 803 14th Street, Golden, CO 80401

"I live in Denver but whenever I am in golden I always make sure to stop here. Any latte and chai I have ever gotten here has been really good. Sometimes I get their seasonal lattes and chais, such as pumpkin, etc., and these are always really good as well. I also have had some of their treats, such as different scones (and I typically don't like scones at all), and they all have been really good as well. The staff has always been really friendly and helpful as well. And on nice days, they have outdoor seating as well which is nice. Also, never had any issues finding off street parking nearby as well as they are a few blocks away from the busiest parts of the main street in golden."

"Is the food exceptional? No. But also not expensive. The real draw is the vibe. Super friendly - like no one was waiting so we just chatted about places I could visit during my layover and it felt like I was being welcomed back despite it being my first time here. There’s plugs to charge electronics and free Wi-Fi. Good amount of seating. Just a nice chill place to regroup, relax, and recharge."

"Just got back to our hotel from visiting Higher Grounds and we could not have had a better experience. Nathan was such a pleasure to deal with! He was so personable and very helpful! And the coffee is pretty great too! Thank you, we will be back!"

"Super friendly service , tasty pastries and awesome coffees , I was in Golden Co. for three nights on vacation and this was my go to place for excellent service and coffee, definitely will come back if I’m ever in Golden again"

"This is the ultimate place. Coffee is awesome and the staff is so hospitable and helpful. The indoors area is just as inviting as the outdoors area. The location is great and there is some (2 hours parking) around it. It opens early (lucky me) and has a great variety of beverages and food. I got the Yerba mate latte and it was excellent. I will be back!"
