Best European-Style Cafe
Occasionally we find ourselves jonesing to travel but don’t have the budget to fly across the ocean. An inexpensive way to soak up European vibes in the heart of downtown is at Amante Coffee, which uses beans from a third-generation roaster in northern Italy. Amante also has three locations in Boulder, but entering the Denver outpost, with its door hidden behind a column inside the historic Oxford Hotel, feels like discovering that small alleyway cafe that only the locals visit.
