Denver’s coffee scene is nothing short of buzzing, but few places manage to merge sustainability, art, and inclusiveness as seamlessly as Brew & Bloom Café. Nestled in the artsy RiNo district, this gem isn’t just about great coffee—though you’ll definitely find that here. Brew & Bloom is about community, conscious choices, and fostering creativity. With a commitment to ethical sourcing, zero waste practices, and providing a platform for local artists, Brew & Bloom has carved out more than just a niche—it’s created a movement.
Recently highlighted in local media and going viral on social platforms like TikTok and Instagram, Brew & Bloom Café is rapidly becoming a household name in the 80216 zip code and beyond. Whether you’re stopping by for a lavender honey latte or a poetry night, you’re walking into an experience—not just a shop.
Founded in 2019 by Denver-native and sustainability advocate Marisol Jennings, Brew & Bloom Café was built on the belief that coffee houses can be more than transactional—they can be transformational. Marisol wanted to create a space that felt like an extension of home, where community, expression, and environmental responsibility intersect.
Here’s what sets Brew & Bloom apart:
With minimalist interiors bathed in natural light and a mix of rustic wood and vibrant wildflowers, Brew & Bloom is designed to make you feel at ease and inspired.
Every other weekend, the café hosts the “Bloom Market,” a mini pop-up fair where artisans, crafters, and small business owners can showcase and sell their wares. This initiative has helped spark the careers of several local brands, including natural skincare line “Honey Roots” and handcrafted ceramics studio “ClayByKel”.
Notably, Brew & Bloom offers a unique partnership with a collective of local therapists called Inner Circle Wellness. Together, they run monthly mental health awareness events, discussion circles, and even occasional “Coffee Chats”—a free, confidential mental health checking-in service during slower afternoon hours.
The café’s commitment to the environment includes an urban beekeeping program in collab with BeeDenver, reused coffee grounds for community composting, and a recently installed solar power system partially powering its operations.
By hiring and training locally, Brew & Bloom not only ensures authenticity but also keeps money circulating within the 80216 economy. During COVID-19, the café provided over 1,000 meals to furloughed workers and supplied care packs for local shelters featuring hygienic and reusable items.
If Instagram photos of flower-topped cappuccinos and sunlit book nooks didn’t do the trick, the reviews certainly do.
