Looking for a different nearby coffee shop? La Belle Rosette Espresso & Wine Bar is another DU classic of coffee shops.

- Stella’s Gourmet Coffee & Such
-
Location: 1476 S. Pearl St.
The next time you’re looking for something to do on Saturday morning, take a walk down South Pearl Street and stop for some coffee at Stella’s Gourmet Coffee & Such. South Pearl is one of Denver’s most historic and popular shopping districts. But Stella’s brings a family vibe to the neighborhood—and there’s an endless supply of banana and zucchini bread. Although South Pearl’s farmers market ends with the fall, Stella’s coffee can surely make up for it during the winter.
- Corvus Coffee Roasters
-
Location: 1740 S. Broadway
Other than South Pearl, South Broadway is also a great shopping block to take a walk on. South Broadway is filled with clothing stores, like the luxurious thrift shop Buffalo Exchange.

This Denver-based coffee shop sources coffee sustainably from all over the world and roasts the beans by hand to give you the sweetest blends.
