Pigtrain Coffee sits inside the Great Hall of Denver Union Station at 1701 Wynkoop, named after the trains that carried truck trailers on flatbed rail cars and tied directly to the building it lives in. The cafe reopened in September 2025 after a six-month renovation. Beans are 100 percent organic from Conscious Coffee, a Boulder roaster, paired with pastries baked in house by Executive Pastry Chef and chocolatier Kevin McCormick. The patio overlooks Wynkoop Plaza and pulls travelers between train arrivals. The menu also runs coffee cocktails, including Irish Coffee, hot toddies, and brandy-spiked java for the evening crowd in the Great Hall. Order a Conscious Coffee drip if you came in to taste the Boulder roaster Pigtrain partners with. Order an Irish Coffee in the Great Hall if you want the version of Union Station travelers have been ordering for decades.

About Denver

Denver coffee turned the corner in 2009. Aviano Coffee opened a block off Cherry Creek's shopping drag on Detroit Street, between 2nd and 3rd, and is generally treated as the first third-wave room in the city. Aviano still pours Intelligentsia, roasted in Chicago and shipped weekly, with a single-origin rotation that turns over every few weeks. Queen City Collective Coffee followed in 2017, founded by brothers Scott, Luke, and Eric Byington, and anchors 525 Santa Fe Drive in Baker inside the Town Hall Collaborative space, with a second cafe at 29th and Welton in Five Points next to the light rail stop.

The neighborhood map runs along the Eastside and the rail corridor. RiNo holds the Ink Coffee roastery and the largest cluster of design-forward rooms. LoDo runs the downtown register through the Pigtrain bar inside Denver Union Station's Great Hall at 1701 Wynkoop, which reopened in September 2025 after a six-month renovation. Old South Pearl carries the Sunday farmers market crowd through Steam Espresso Bar at South Pearl and Mexico, where the garage-door windows open to a back garden most of the year.

The roasting bench has thickened steadily. SelvaSur on 1111 Broadway, founded in 2016 by Jose Cristian and Keila Castorena, sources directly from a Chiapas cooperative and from Peruvian highlands. Sweet Bloom out of Lakewood and Boxcar pour through Steam Espresso Bar. The result is a market with serious in-state roasting, a clear Cherry Creek-to-Five Points geography, and a working specialty network across roughly 143 active rooms.
