Loved the orange blossom cardamom oat milk cortado and I usually don’t care for sweeteners. My partner got the cold brew and it was one of the best we’ve had in a long time. Super friendly service and sweet ambiance.

If you are looking for a place that feels like a neighborhood hub that just happens to be run by fantastic humans, then get yourself over to Mishap Coffee. While I don't drink coffee myself (I hear it's delicious) I do love me a good cup of hot chocolate and this place delivers each and every time. Thank you for setting up in this neighborhood and becoming part of its fabric!

I am so excited for this new coffee shop that recently opened in our favorite brewery. Yep, coffee and beer co-located = heavenly combo!! Colin, the owner and barista, is so friendly and kind. It’s clear he loves what he’s doing. We’ve enjoyed several different espresso drinks, drip coffee, bonfire burritos, and the cherry chocolate scone and the lemon blueberry scone. Colin roasts the beans himself and you can buy a bag there too! This is also a place where there’s plenty of room to spread out and work or have a meeting. I know this will be my new weekly coffee hangout!

The reviews on this place are very, very accurate! The owner roasts the coffee himself.....these guys know how to make a coffee...come here! Other pros: Tons of seating available with outlets...easy place to work, study, etc. Parking is excellent and easy (no 2 hr limits and there is enough space) Coffee was great (I had the latte...I'm sure all else will be good) The service is excellent!

Mishap is my favorite place to get coffee in Aurora/ Denver. Truly, you could catch me here most days out of the week. Mishap has a set of thoughtful and creative baristas who have put together a fantastic menu, and an even better place to hang. I especially look forward to the seasonal rotations like the Black Velvet and Spicy Mocha. Don't sleep on the chai, it's packed with ginger will have you ditching every other chai latte you've met before. I am lucky to live down the street from Mishap and I consider it my "local dive". For anyone else in the Stanley Marketplace neighborhood, you've got to add this place to your list of frequent visits. The Mishap / Second Dawn Community is the other aspect that makes this spot such a neighborhood staple. I'm always learning about new events or groups, and there's always a wonderful employee to strike up a convo with. Other great things; - so much room for activities. Plugs every where. Always space to work on your laptop. They even have a small room in the back that you can reserve for bigger gatherings. - the food! Mishap has some consistent food options; the coffee cake (ya gotta try it) and the burritos are a go to. Theyll also host pop ups, like an upcoming pastry day or the first Sunday of the month runclub pancake day. - Mishap has a great in and out set up for those on the go. Unlike other spots nearby, the parking lot is nearly always accessible and makes it easy for you to grab your coffee(s) and get on the road.

This is little hidden gem near Stanley Food Hall. I wouldn’t have known it was there if a friend had not recommended that we meet there. Coffee was great! Breakfast burrito and coffee cake were very good. Staff was super friendly. Will definitely add this to my list of coffee meet up spots for work.
