Fall is officially here, and the vibes are getting cozy. But beyond a quick service pumpkin spice latte from Starbucks, where do you go to settle in and really enjoy a warm and welcoming cup of coffee? Host Bree Davies and producer Olivia Jewell Love are joined by entrepreneur, content creator, and coffee shop aficionado Michelle Jackson to talk about the best local spots that bring the ambiance, offer creative drink choices, and capture what it means to be the best at the coffee game in the Mile High City.
Bree mentioned the lawsuit local baristas recently filed against Starbucks corporate’s new dress code. Michelle mentioned Weathervane’s “grandma-core” cabins that you can rent in Clear Creek County. She also mentioned the podcast she hosts for Colorado CarShare, “How You Got There.”
