Dazbog Coffee

The place smells awful. It has a bad atmosphere. There are other Daz Bog locations that are nice but this place is unacceptable.

Very nice coffee shop in the corner of 12^th in downtown Denver. Coffee was delicious and service was very friendly. Got a lemon bar and mocha chiller. Got a little loud when the blender is going. Music was nice and on a good level. Parking is close and didn’t have trouble parking.

Don’t waste your time or money here! They treat their staff horribly and besides that Starbucks gives their staff members that are part time health benefits go to Starbucks if you’re going to drink corporate!!!
Also their tea and coffee are never good and the employees are obviously miserable:(

Almost 4 dollars for a medium bitter iced coffee. When I said I paid for a large he poured it into a large cup added more coffee and now I have a room temperature drink. All because quote; «I’m closing.»

I stopped in here after getting caught in the rain. I drank a lovely latte and the lady working here was very sweet and lent me her sweater. I’ll be sure to come back!

I go several times a week. I have only had the ice coffee, which is very strong but good. The workers are friendly. It is connected to a tanning salon, which is strange, but I have never noticed any smell like a previous review mentioned. I have never had to wait in line.

This location made me fall in love with Dazbog coffee. I lived in the surrounding neighborhood for over three years and this was my favorite place to go. They also started adding in gluten free food options that were just to die for, and incredibly hard to find at any other coffee shop.
The owners are awesome, the staff was almost always nice (and people who weren’t seemed to be gone pretty fast), and it was usually quiet and has free Wi-​Fi, which made it a perfect place to work and study.

Terrible service they are very rude. they also do not know how to pour a correct latte. I won’t be back to this location.

I normally would not bother to write a review about a Daz Bog. In fact, as a general rule, I love Daz Bog-​they have the best chai around. But THIS location. Blech. I met a friend there the other day, and was so disappointed.
1. They don’t have the Daz Bog app.
2. I ordered a no-​foam chai, and she literally gave me a chai that was half-​foam, so I paid for a medium but in essence got an X-​small drink.
3. They had no sugar in the raw, so my options were either that crappy pink stuff (I didn’t even know that made that anymore!!) or honey.
4. They didn’t even have stir sticks! Geez louise.
5. My friend and I stayed there to chat and drink our tea. This is about the most uninviting place to sit and chat you can think of. It’s freezing cold in there. there are absolutely NO cozy accoutrements, no music, no… nothing. Just cold. Hard. Chairs and floors.
I would never go back to this location.

This is my second time at this location. The first time I went in to get a iced coffee with room for cream and some vanilla flavor. I understand vanilla syrup is always extra but .50 extra for one shot of it is kind of crazy and since there coffee is so bold it wasn’t even noticeable. The coffee taste was good and the girl was nice so I decided to give it another go. I went in today more excited because I downloaded the App and was given a $ 2 credit and a virtual punchcard so if I bought 10 drinks I could get the 11^th one free. I ordered my drink (Karmel Kream) and when I went to pay with my phone the kid behind the counter said that they don’t support paying from your phone… Ok… So I guess I can’t use my $ 2 and get credit for the drink? Major letdown and not very smart business. I revived my drink and about half of it was foam which was also a let down. The kid told me that other locations support the phone payment and reward service, so I will try another location in the future. Until then I guess I will use my Keurig at work or gain rewards on my Starbucks card. The Starbucks is closer to me than the DazBog, but I was trying to support a local chain. Overall this would be a one star review but since there a local chain I will afford them an extra star.

I had a few minutes to grab some more coffee to refill my travel cup before this morning so I stopped at the first place I drove past, Dazbog Coffee. After a short line I got up to order within a couple minutes and said «Just a medium cup of coffee.» The cashier picks up a cup and then it all derails… She picks up a marker and asks me a question. I didn’t hear it as I wasn’t expecting it, because getting a medium cup of coffee shouldn’t require any follow-​up questions. I said «Excuse me?» and just as she asked again the girl behind her throws on the coffee grinder. I look at her blank, she asks again, I respond with a raised voice «I CAN’T HEAR YOU!» She then waves hand signals at the cup, again, this should not be required for a medium cup of coffee. I think «Maybe she’s asking me my name like they do at the other an international coffee shop chain that I avoid at all costs. So I yell back «SCOTT!» Then she shakes her head saying «No» and repeats the question. I just look at her like «Really?». Finally is stops and she asks «Should I leave room for cream?» Internally I’m screaming «RAAWWWRRRRR!!!» but I just say «Sure.» Then she checks off two boxes on the cup and puts the cup down in a line for the «barista.» How a «medium cup of coffee» could possibly require TWO check boxes is beyond me. Now I have to wait for all these other people to get their big cups of nonsense. Finally after 5 or 6 minutes she walks over and grabs my cup out of the line, grabs the pot from right behind her, pours it, then calls me over to get my coffee.
Here’s how the whole thing SHOULD have gone after I ordered «Just a medium cup of coffee.»
Step 1 — Pick up cup.
Step 2 — Turn Around.
Step 3 — Pick up and pour coffee into cup.
Step 4 — GIVE ME MY CUP OF COFFEE!!!
To be honest, after half & half, sugar, cocoa, and vanilla powder, the coffee didn’t taste any better than quick-​stop gas stations or convenient stores but cost twice as much. Even if it had been a quick trip in and out, I still wouldn’t go back there based on the coffee.

The coffee was really good but the barista seemed disinterested in having customers. She also lacked finesse in the presentation of my beverage. I will definitely try DazBog again but will definitely NOT be returning to this location!

I don’t know if this is important to anyone else but they use Earth Balance soy milk and it is the most delicious soy milk out there! That reason alone will get me to come back to this shop. It isn’t on my route to work anymore but it would make a great place to stop when I want a special latte treat. Great coffee, good service, and there wasn’t a line, HAY!

It was incredibly hot today so I wanted something iced. I ordered the iced vanilla latte and it was very yummy! Their espresso is pretty good! I don’t usually put sugar in my coffee, so a vanilla latte is usually too sweet for me but this one was perfect! Thank god this place was by my hotel. I love a good coffee to get my day going.

I stopped here a lot on my way to Auraria campus back in the day and always liked it. I recently stopped in again and found that they had remodeled the store. It looks great and it is still a place I would grab a cup to go.

I really love the coffee here. The breakfast pierogi’s are good but over priced. The worst part is the service. Extremely inconsistent as others have also written in their reviews.
If this dazbog wasn’t across from my house I would definitely go to the 9^th ave location.

Great iced mochas! It’s a cool Russian experience.
We enjoyed our self here for an early afternoon treat. We had an iced mocha and a raspberry lemonade. The iced mocha was way better than expected because with a name like Dazbog I thought it would be a quick and cheap place. Wooo, wait a minute I was just joking about the name, my wife and I always drive by and say to each other «DAAZ…BAWG»
Seriously the mocha was spot on, roasty, creamy, chocolatey and rich. The lemonade was tasty but didn’t go along with the mocha at all. So we each enjoyed our drinks separately. There’s a bit of free parking out front as well. We will be back for more Russian experiences.

I have been going to this Dazbog EVERYDAY for almost 2 years! This place used to be so consistent (5 STARS), but now they have tons of new people that don’t know what they are doing!
One girl (which is the worst barista I have ever met and always my main problem) boasted to me that the gentleman in front of me «always leaves a good tip». I always tip well! I have been working in the food industry for 8 years as a cook, line prep, busser, and a delivery driver! This same girl shorts me on my 2^nd shot of espresso in my Red Eye… every time! The other day she gave a drink away to a guy in front of me saying, «You come in everyday! It’s on us!» I don’t expect free shit and I am not that type of person, but I should be able to expect to at least have my drinks made properly. My girlfriend and I pay 9 dollars a day plus tip, I think we deserve it.
I used to check in on foursquare every day and was mayor until recently because I stopped going! Paul, the young blonde girl, and the nice kid with a comb over doo, are the only reasons why I might still stop in! The other kids are awful! They won’t make my drink WELL (an understatement) unless they SEE me tip them, so now I have to wait till they are looking before I can put money in there jar (which is rarely deserved but I still do!)

Short & sweet:
Service: 2
Coffee: 4
Wait time: 3
Price: 4
Cleanliness of bathroom: 4
Wifi: free!
Pros: good work space and good coffee. Also, the really attractive boy who walked in while I was stressing over my work. (I was staring at you in my creepy little discreet manner… you were tall and so gorgeous.) There’s also a parking lot, which is so convenient.
Cons: Connected to a tanning salon (Darque?). By connected, I mean, an extended hallway from the tanning salon to the café. Why no doors? Hm… Tanning fumes mixing in with the fragrant scent of coffee = uncool. Also, the service was rather mediocre. Not so much unfriendly, but just… meh.

This place has the same great coffee I’ve come to love at other Daz Bogs (and friendly service to accompany it) but this location is weird.
It’s pretty handy to swing by on the way up Speer and out of town and they were open on Thanksgiving which was a plus. I went last weekend though and was hit by a weird smell… like hair perm and conditioner or something. May the barista recently had her hair did? It doesn’t look permed… and the smell is awfully strong… who knows.
I sat down at a table while waiting for my coffee and pulled up Unilocal to check-​in. Out of curiousity, I read the whole two other reviews on this place and saw Sarah N mention that the Daz Bog and Darque Tans next door were connected. «Surely they’re not connected» I thought, «they’re just in the same building…» I glance up and sure enough, you can walk straight through over to Darque Tan without going outside or opening a door.
Because, you know, nothing gets me in the mood for a latte like the tasty smell of fake and bake.
Regardless, an easy and unbusy stop to grab a coffee on the way to somewhere else. Definitely not a hangout spot.
