I think this is my new favorite coffee shop. Very friendly staff and amazing decor. I like the music taste. I got the honey lavender oat-milk latte, iced. 10/10.Hours: for being a coffee shop, I think they have very reasonable hours!They have rewards points and that is always very nice.Lastly, they have merchandise that is so cute, and reasonably priced.This is a place where you should definitely go if you’re looking to support your local small businesses

Good coffee and pastries. Good place to work. But they let dogs in. That cost them a star. Once when I was there, a large German shepherd lunged and barked, essentially attacking, a couple as they approached the door. No one hurt, but dogs in places like that dont mix. Outside is just fine for canines. Two dogs were in the place at that time. Neither were service dogs

This coffeehouse truly has an extraordinary and capable barista who made my latte. This shop is a decent spot to partake in an espresso since everything here was great. The environment is exceptionally unwinding, and the flavor of espresso is the best. I will definitely return here again and bring my companions or family. You all are awesome!

Ive been to almost every coffee shop in/around Denver and I keep coming back to SONDER as my absolute favorite for numerous reasons. Friendly staff & owners; inventive seasonal drinks (get the sweater weather or the pistachio cold brew if youre undecided); and a great chill vibe perfect for working, reading, or meeting up with people. Dont miss this place!

As I read the reviews, I was convinced to have a try. When I get there, the staff greeted me with a lovely smile and asked me what I am going to order. I have tried it myself, they were correct. Its a very nice place, the coffee is really good. Satisfying taste! The place also is nice for dating friends and even loved ones. Perfect place!

Been here a few times now, and they have earned their 5 stars. The place is unassuming from the outside, but the interior is light, airy, and impeccably clean. The staff have always been friendly, relaxed, and they make delicious drinks. I love their custom syrups, but when Im simply in the mood for a good cortado, no embellishments, they nailed it!

The first time I set foot in Sonder Coffee and Tea was on Mother’s Day. After ordering a mocha, I was asked whether I was a “mother.” A strange question, I thought. I had no context for why I was being asked. Being a mother of four kiddos, I answered in the affirmative. I was told that for that reason, my drink was complimentary that day. I felt so pleased and blessed. That definitely left an impression on me.I don’t live close to Sonder and not much takes me that direction. But I go to this locally owned coffee shop, when I have the chance. The shop takes pride in making good, craft drinks. The place is cheery and bright. And I love what “Sonder” means and stands for.

I finally stopped to try out Sonders about a month ago and Im sure Ive enjoyed the lattes 3 times a week since then. Oh, and the vibes are super cool. Peace everyone. ✌🏿

This is a great place to study/do work at, but the drinks are not good. Ive been here on multiple occasions, ordering their pistachio latte, matcha, regular coffee drinks. In the past, I feel they were better, but honestly, theyre quite bland. I make better coffee at home. To be polite, I order drinks so I can study there, but I think I will move on to another coffee shop. The taste is not worth the price.

What a lovely coffee & tea shop I discovered in the area! The venue is a perfect size with a decent amount of seating (including a few spots outside) and an awesome view of the mountains. I love the modern interior as well as the glassware. I was welcomed with good customer service which I really appreciate.I was impressed with their unique selection of teas. I ordered the white tea rose melange which was really good and came in a cute little pottery-like set. They save the tea on a little plate if you would to resteep for a refill. They have a very small selection of pastries.Its in a perfect open location with plenty of parking and great views. Its a great spot for some quality alone time or to catch up with friends or colleagues. Sonder is definitely worth a visit!

Kind and compassionate owners and baristas in all my interactions. Not to mention some incredible coffee, espresso, and teas. I have found it hard to get both good tea and coffee at the same place, but Sonder succeeds in always having high quality.

If you know me, you also know that I absolutely love to try new coffee spots. Doesnt matter where I am. If Im visiting a new city, youll likely find me checking into small, local places there. This was such a fantastic discovery. Its not very close to other businesses, but I was absolutely fine hanging out here with my laptop and catching up on my life. Its located on the 1st floor of a residential building.SONDER is a very cute, clean, and spacious place. Bright and inviting is how I would describe it. Check out the décor. Loved the art work on the walls. Check out my photos. I had a cold brew and almond croissant. Both were delicious and fresh. The cold brew was smooth and not too dark. Had it black as always.Friendly baristas. It was slow when I arrived around 830am, but got fairly busy as the morning progressed. Looks like there were quite a few regulars. Id totally come here all the time if I lived in the area.Plenty of parking here. Should never be an issue. Wifi worked perfectly fine during my entire time there. Actually really good, because my VPN never cut out like it does at most places. Woohoo!

Such interesting and out-of-the-box craft drinks. The strawberry infused cold brew with black pepper, wow was that amazing!! Love how the place is always open with fresh air rolling through. Makes the place even more inviting. Great place to hang and get work done or read a book while you enjoy some wonderful coffee.

Absolutely delightful Coffee Shop with very talented and friendly Baristas! They have a wide variety of espresso drinks as well as assorted hot and cold teas. They also serve kombucha, nitro brew coffee and assorted pastries. The flavors are made in house and are naturally infused and they rotate seasonal flavors throughout the year. It is a very cozy and relaxing atmosphere and there is also outdoor seating available. The espresso is definitely of great quality and they are typically very artsy when it comes to presenting the final product of ones beverage. Definitely one of my all time favorite coffee shops here in Denver! Come check them out! They are currently open even during this Covid pandemic, they are offering indoor and outdoor seating. 👍🏽🙂

Review №32

I ordered a latte however the flavor fell a bit flat for me. I thought it had a slightly burnt after taste. The bean itself lacked robust flavor which I think is a pretty big deal for a coffee shop. I did however like the customer service and enjoyed the latte art! The price point was also pretty affordable.

Review №33

Very bitter coffee! Overpriced - $9 for a regular coffee and a steamer that was flavorless is too much. Also having the tip selection starting higher to lower, which is the exact opposite of all establishments is a great way to have people spend even more money!

I cannot say enough great things about this coffee shop. Simple, elegant and so warm and welcoming! The Honey Lavender is amazing, the kombucha they offer tastes fantastic. They even made a vanilla steamer for my son! The owners absolutely love getting to know people, so dont be afraid to get to tell them your story.Cant wait for our next trip to Colorado to visit again!Much love,Adrian, Alex, Little Adrian and Ella Mae

Cool place with good coffee. Its a little on the expensive side, but definitely worth it compared to Starbucks. There is pretty limited seating, with limited wall outlets for charing. There is some outdoor space, but not really anywhere to sit. If you get there early and snag a good spot, its worth it.

Best coffee shop in the south side of Denver! No matter the barista, they take their time with the milk to make it perfect, and I have never had a bad drink or been disappointed. Julia and Ethan were more than accommodating and kind. They’re bagged coffee is delicious at home and their pastries are BOMB! Highly recommend and the inside of the shop is beautiful. 10/10

Review №57

SONDER is a decent coffee shop in the Denver area. I enjoyed the chai and my friend enjoyed their mocha. I gave four stars instead of five for two reasons;1) price- the prices online did not match the prices in person. It was not a huge deal but I do like to know what Im getting into ahead of time.2) it was freezing! Im not sure if they dont have heat or if they just didnt have it on but I had goosebumps.Location is great and parking is a breeze. Im sure it is especially nice for those that live in the apartments above the coffee shop. The shop itself was very clean and well kept. The employees were knowledgeable and answered questions without making it seem like a hassle.All in all this is a great place to grab a coffee with a friend- just bring a coat and a few extra bucks.

Im in LOVE. Ive waited a while to give a review so I could try a few different items. First Ill start with the staff, Ive always had a great experience, they are welcoming and knowledgeable of the products they serve. It seems they know me by name, or at least what I order! Second Ill start with the menu, Ive had the cold brew maybe four different ways (backcountry is the best imo), their cappuccinos are to die for (8oz) only.... but get ready for tea on tap, because they e let me taste it.... wow it dances inky tastebuds. Ok ok but the decor is fabulous, love the countertops, those cacti make me feel closer to earth. These arent your normal baristas, they are working hard to bring great quality products and hand made as well. So happy this place is as close to home as it is. Thank you Sonder!

I love espresso and drink it daily. Ive also explored at least 15 different coffee shops in Denver-Boulder area over the past 8-10 years.Sonder is one of a handful of places that I now visit regularly (and have been doing so for the last 2 years). I also buy their beans every few weeks.Id put this place as one of the best in Denver, and is easily the best within a 3-5 mile radius.Why?The espresso is nuanced and on point. The baristas take great care to dial in the espresso in a way that expresses its complexity.There are several unique drinks (in terms of lattes and tea). The owners make their own sauce and create inventive, new selections every few months.The atmosphere is trendy, spacious, and energetic.Wifi works well. I do sometimes get issues with Verizon receptivity in certain parts of the store. But overall, its a great place to hang out and work.Id definitely recommend this place to everyone (and in fact have sent several of my friends and colleagues here).

The coffee is phenomenal, the shop is quiet and pleasant, and the people who work here are very nice. Once, I was feeling very sick and went in to get some tea before work. The gentleman working made me an amazing cambric and then have me a couple tea bags to take with me so I could feel better faster. Theyre just so kind there.

Review №84

Worst latte ever, I asked for an alternative milk since I have allergy from dairy products. However, the barista who was working there didn’t care about my order as caring about continued a conversation with another worker!! The barista made my order with a diary milk instead of what I ordered, when I got my order I asked if it’s with non dairy milk, the answer was( no, I’ll make another one) but when making a new cup the barista didn’t clean the metal pitcher from the dairy milk!! It a waste of time and money. I wish they talk from the beginning they don’t want to serve us.

These days its hard to find people who just genuinely care about other people. It seems everyone is too busy or they have to be polite just because you are a customer. But you dont find that at SONDER. No matter who is working you find someone who will always take the time to have a conversation and connect with. And at the same time have delicious Coffee or Tea, with homemade syrups. What makes this Coffee Shop set apart from the rest is the warm people along with delicious Coffee and Tea in a comfortable and pleasant atmosphere.
