Solid Grounds Coffee Shop

Coloradans love their coffee... I can't confirm this, but I bet we rival our friends of the Pacific Northwest. Even among coffee lovers there is much debate about the best place to sit and sip. The possibilities are nearly endless and at the same time you can find your standard lattes and mochas just about anywhere.

We find ourselves at Starbucks just like everyone else, but our true favorite is a little spot that is unrecognized by most. The Solid Grounds Coffee Shop is found in Littleton and recently expanded their operation to include several meeting rooms and additional seating complete with games for all ages. You will find a cozy fireplace for the cool early mornings or late evenings, and for the warm days of spring and summer you'll love their umbrella shaded deck. And I haven't even mentioned the quality of the food and beverage! Coffee is, of course, the main attraction.

The baristas are talented and the ingredients are top quality. You can get delicious pastries and warm breakfast sandwiches and burittos (locally made). The local made ice cream is yummy too. You'll want to bring a girlfriend with you to enjoy the relaxing atmosphere and engage in some "mommy" conversation. Mornings can be a little hectic, but thanks to the expansion, you can find a seat any hour of the day.

Tell us where your favorite spot is to get that beautiful, steaming cup of bitter smooth goodness.
