Reviews
This little coffee shop/cafe is so charming! In downtown Lafayette, this is a lovely quaint, yet trendy stop in the Boulder-adjacent area. I went for coffee with a friend and got a maple latte, and a spinach feta croissant. Everything was seriously so amazing. The croissant was buttery, and the feta wasn't overpowering - filling & decadent, but also felt semi healthy (ha) with the spinach :) The latte was creamy and had just the right amount of sweetener. The staff are friendly, and the vibes are good. Check this place out!
I love my latte to be served in a ceramic coffee mug with beautiful latte art! Got both here! While visiting the Denver area and heading north, I have stopped here twice for a cuppa joe! This shop is among a few located inside of The District. Hubby and I intended to go to Nox Donuts, but they were closed. I wanted coffee, so I'm happy we spotted this place and gave them a try. Two guys (Matt & Cody) & their love of coffee founded Otis. "Otis" is the name of Matt's maternal grandfather. This place actually started out as Proper Grounds Coffee Roasters in 2012 and later became Otis Craft Collective in 2018. On the first visit I got the Peach Cobbler. It's made with their housemade Peach Brown Sugar Syrup and a Cinnamon Topping. It came with a heart or leaf shaped latte art on top. The drink was rich and velvety, but I'm not sure I'd get it again. When I visited the second time, I came alone. I looked at their menu and went with the Not Another PSL. It is made with a Pumpkin Tahini Sauce and a dusting of spices. Boy was it delicious! Maybe it was more delicious because my eyes ate first as I beheld the swan latte art! The barista was so skilled! After she made my drink, snapped a photo or two, and then called out my name to pick up my drink. When the barista admires their work, it's gotta be pretty bomb! I got a good look at the coffee beans roaster located in a separate room. They roast their beans here. They sell pastries which I think are made here, but I didn't try any. If coffee isn't your thing, they also have teas, OJ, and a plethora of other drinks. They have branded merchandise as well as coffee making apparatus. Let's not forget about the puppers. There are Scooby Snacks (doggie biscuits) available for them! There are plenty of tables for enjoying your beverage & bites at. I think it would be a good atmosphere to get some work done if necessary. I don't recall seeing outlets available, so I'm unsure if there are any. If I am ever passing through, I will definitely stop by for my caffeine boost and hopefully an intricate latte art!
Great coffee in an otherwise nondescript shopping center pn the margins of sleepy Lafayette. Well, non-descript other than sharing a parking lot with the brilliant Drumbox rentable drum studio, but let me not digress. Otis distinguishes itself by roasting on premises (it looks like - I haven't been there when they were actually in the process of running the roaster) and - and this is a big one - being one of the few hip coffee joints in greater Boulder that has the good sense to make their branded stickers available for free. I am not gonna pay a coffee shop to rock their advertising, but I'll happily do it if the stickers are gratis. I make it a point to come here when visiting Boulder and have not been disappointed. Could benefit from a larger baked goods selection, certainly, but the breakfast burritos on offer are a good tradeoff (ask and they shall be heated for you).
I really enjoyed my coffee here. Nothing over the top; just good coffee, which is what I came for. Will definitely come back next time I'm in town
I wanted a new coffee shop to read at while visiting my friend and found Otis. The coffee was unexpectedly amazing, the espresso was smooth with a perfect balance of that floral acidity that I love while offering notes of nutty dark chocolate. Usually with coffee shops, the espresso is too bitter or sour which doesn't always pair well with the milk. The staff was also very friendly and dressed so cool. I love a coffee shop that supports personal style and is welcoming to queer individuals, *something that should be the norm regardless*
