Support the independent voice of Denver and help keep the future of Westword free.
Cafe Pure is a tiny cafe that fronts the Aveda salon at the corner of 17th and Market streets, providing a shot of caffeine to customers in for a haircut and a midday respite for cubicle warriors from buildings nearby.
The cafe would like to offer more than just coffee and pastries, though, and so it's applying for a liquor license in order to supply a line of wine and beer to pampered patrons and thirsty neighbors -- and if you're one of those thirsty neighbors, the espressoria would like you to please come down and sign its petition.
Cafe Pure has a date with the Denver Department of Excise and Licenses on June 24.
Keep Westword Free... Since we started Westword, it has been defined as the free, independent voice of Denver, and we would like to keep it that way. Offering our readers free access to incisive coverage of local news, food and culture. Producing stories on everything from political scandals to the hottest new bands, with gutsy reporting, stylish writing, and staffers who've won everything from the Society of Professional Journalists' Sigma Delta Chi feature-writing award to the Casey Medal for Meritorious Journalism. But with local journalism's existence under siege and advertising revenue setbacks having a larger impact, it is important now more than ever for us to rally support behind funding our local journalism. You can help by participating in our "I Support" membership program, allowing us to keep covering Denver with no paywalls.
