Cafe Pure goes for a liquor license

Laura Shunk May 17, 2011 4:02PM

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.

Her toughest assignment had her drinking ten martinis and eating ten Caesar salads over the course of 48 hours. She still drinks martinis, but remains lukewarm on Caesar salads.
