• C.R.E.A.M. skims the surface in Cherry Creek

  287 Columbine Street is now home to C.R.E.A.M. It replaced Java Creek about two weeks ago, and will be doing similar, but not identical, work.  "We're going to be much more coffee-focused, doing higher-level barista work," explains barista Amanda Sapir. "Our coffee is being roasted by Coda Coffee, a local roaster of much higher quality than what was previously used here." C.R.E.A.M., which is open from 7 a.m.-6 p.m. daily, does its own pastries and will be offering brunch

• Starbucks Tazo Tea Lattes

  Starbucks is unveiling a new set of beverages this month, Tazo Tea Lattes and Tazo Tea Infusions. I snagged one of the coupons that allow you to try one for free, and if there is one thing I'm a total sucker for it's free food and drink. The friendly barista at the Speer location (the one handily situated next to Le Bakery Sensual, so you can get your coffee and penis cakes in one quick trip) explained that the Tea Lattes were made by infusing a tea of your choosing in hot water and then ad

• Local barista champ Greg Lefcourt is pulling for a win at the US Barista Competition

  Caffeine fiends one and all should bow down to barista Greg Lefcourt. Longtime coffee jock and manager at OZO Coffee at 5340 Arapahoe Ave in Boulder, Lefcourt took home the gold at the Mountain Regional Barista Competition on January 18 in Thornton, leaving in his coffee dust barista competitors from distant locales like Montana, Utah and Idaho. That earned 29-year-old Lefcourt, profiled in a Westword story about the 2008 Mountain Regional Barista Competition, a top seat in the US Barista Comp

• Common Grounds loses ground

  There's a sign in the window of the Common Grounds at 1601 17th Street, and it's not good news. The landlord has put this prime piece of real estate up for lease, and that means LoDo could lose a great local coffeehouse (and a barista who was once on Survivor). There's a latte to love about this place.Common Grounds is reportedly looking for a new LoDo home. And, of course, the original is firmly ensonced at 3484 West 32nd Avenue.

• Common Grounds left its liquor license behind in move

  Common Grounds, the popular LoDo coffeehouse that's a sibling of the original in northwest Denver, barely missed a beat when it moved last week from 1601 17th Street across the street to 1550 17th, in the old Sugarbeat Café space (the entrance is on Wazee Street). But somewhere along the way, Common Grounds lost its liquor license, so the coffeehouse will have a city hearing on Thursday, April 16, to see if it can serve wine and beer at this new spot.
