1979 Coffee

"This coffee shop is delightful. I enjoyed the latte with almond milk and lemon seed poppy muffin. Barista was quick and did a great job explaining the difference in two drinks I asked about. Plenty of seating and Im always glad when there isn't loud music playing. Great ambiance."

"1979 is a great little coffee nook! Drinks were great quality and very tasty. Price was average for a coffee shop! Atmosphere was cozy and quiet. Service was quality and kind. This would be a great place to get work done or even for a coffee date. Definitely worth visiting again!"

"Finally got to check out 1979, and I was impressed. Also didn't know it is owned and operated by Peak Place, which was a fun and pleasant surprise. So let me start off by saying that because it is a functioning coffee shop within a massive church building, the cozy factor is hard to nail. They do a good job, but it's hard to feel like you're at a "coffee shop," and that feel is a huge part of the coffee experience. BUT, service was friendly and quick, and the Papau New Guniea pour over was one of the most flavorful I've had thus far in the Springs. Complex, fruity, but not too thin as can sometimes happen with lighter roasted single origin coffees. Props to Matt, the manager there, for his skill and some fun conversation at the bar. Prices were super low compared to similar-quality competitors, and that's largely because the church it is housed in has helped a lot with overhead and rent cost, which was a neat story to hear. I'll definitely be back on occasion for the stunning view of the mountains, great coffee, and friendly faces."

"I've got to respect any shop that can make a great "flat white" consistently. While it's not visible from the street (just from the hiking trail across the tracks!), it's a quality place although it has funky hours. I've put the menu, the pastry list as of that day, and the hours in the photos. The fireplace areas are particularly nice, but the natural lighting from the large south-facing windows is nothing to scoff at either. Beware, conditions may vary depending on what groups happen to be meeting at the same time, since it's in the lower level of the Woodmen Valley Chapel worship center. Best access from the south and east lower entrances."
