Proper Grounds Coffee

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This place is a gem. My vanilla cappuccino was superb — creamy foam, homemade vanilla flavor, and real vanilla seeds at the bottom of my cup. My husband's Blue Monday (blueberry basil cold brew) was creative and solid, though mine was the clear winner. The block has its challenges, but inside is an oasis — a warm, welcoming, local, craft.

I’ve been recommended this place from 2 other friends and I finally got to check it out! Loved the coffee and vibe - the pastries also looked really good. I would love to come back to get some work done and/or catch up with a friend!

On a three day trip to Denver, I visited Procession. I intended to try as many different coffee shops as possible during my trip, but couldn't resist going to Procession twice because the coffee was phenomenal. Pleasant atmosphere, knowledgeable & personable barista, great place to read or do remote work. Try the Blue Monday! Spiced cherry cordial pictured. I still dream about it.

My favorite coffee shop!!! I make any excuse to make the drive up. My current obsession is the rosemary maple latte, one of the winter specials. Quite frankly, I was skeptical to order it, but it is one of the most delicious combinations I've tasted. I've tried a slew of their other offerings, and they're all incredibly well-made. I especially love how they incorporate herbs into their flavors! During my last visit, I ordered a vegan breakfast burrito. At $8, this was a solid to-go option and it was super tasty. There seems to be a theme of well-done, delicious offerings...and that's because they are truly dedicated to the craft. I can confidently say that you will witness this firsthand when you visit!

The americano was perfect! I am a snob, but the ratio of water to espresso and the type of espresso (nicaraguan) they had on rotation was delicious. The barista was kind and friendly, and the bar at the window was a nice place to work. It isn’t “comfy cozy” vibe, but for working or meeting with a friend it was great :) Love the windows and natural lighting. (pastry is from Lo Dough down the street)
