My Top Ten Favorite Places to "Work From Home"

Top Ten Places to Work From “Home”

We all need to have a go to place from time-to-time, when we need to work, but perhaps your home isn’t quiet enough, or your office desk isn’t the right environment. I have compiled a list of my Top Ten “Home” Office work locations. Go ahead and change it up ~ you might be inspired! Most offer free WiFi. I can often be found scouring new listings for my clients, finding them the perfect home while visiting one of the fabulous establishments listed below.
1. Common Grounds Coffeehouse, 2139 E 44th Avenue. Common Grounds Coffeehouse has been providing a community gathering place for North Denver for over 20 years. The Sunnyside neighborhood is truly a melting pot ~ it’s history of hardworking immigrants from all over the world is the kind of vibe you feel at Common Grounds. Located in the “Radiator Shop” building, it is spacious and gregarious. Like walking into your best friend’s kitchen and pulling up a chair.
2. Union Station : 1225 Seventeenth Street.  Have you been to visit the newly reopened Union Station? It’s challenging to describe just how breathtaking the new space is. The original train station elements have remained intact while updating the facility for today’s needs. The large central terminal is light and bright, with lots of large sofas, tables  and free wifi ~ a super place to grab a coffee (Pig Train) or a cocktail (The Terminal Bar and The Cooper Lounge).
3. Downpours Coffee: 3937 Tennyson Street. A most delicious, artfully crafted cup of coffee awaits you. Also recommended are the delectable handmade pastries and nibbles. Tennyson Street is the new local main-street type retail area, still chock full of independent small business. You’ll be in the company of other self-employed folks here, and the staff is friendly.
4. Mangiamo Pronto:  1601 17th Street. Located on the corner of 17th and Wazee in the lodo neighborhood, Mangiamo Pronto is an Italian coffee shop and bistro, serving breakfast, lunch and dinner featuring delicious egg dishes, paninis and pizzettis, pasta, gelato and drinks too! The space is bright, the staff is friendly, and the food, if you’re so inclined, delicious.
5. Crema: 2962 Larimer St. Craving a more industrial chic feel? Then stop by Crema. The creamiest smooth coffee, mouthwatering entrees, and industrial cool décor.
6. Gallop Café: 2401 W 32nd Ave. A long time neighborhood favorite, this corner café and restaurant has a liquor license ~ so if you’re craving a masterpiece of a Bloody Mary, Gallop serves one, with a short glass of PBR. Breakfast and lunch entrées are delicious and innovative. Indoor and outdoor café seating is available.
7. Huckleberry Roasters: 4301 Pecos Street. Two friends create a space combining their passion for community, music and coffee. A belief that a coffee shop can be a cornerstone of a strong community. It’s a cool space on the west side of town.
8. Thump: 1201 E 13th Ave. With locations in Denver and Bend, Oregon, Thump is almost library-like in it’s quiet atmosphere in which to get your work done.
9.  Black Eye: 3408 Navajo Street. With the roll up garage door front, tile backsplash, distressed wood furniture, this space is inviting and nostalgic.
10. Steam Espresso Bar: 1801 S Pearl Street. Platt Park is home to this phenomenal coffee bar. Cutting edge brewing and sustainably raised coffee make this a come back fave.
