Arvada Perk

Enjoy an amazing cup of coffee and an East Coast style Ruben that actually has meat on it (corned beef that Matt has cooked for 18 hours) instead of being all bread. Matt the owner is a great guy and is always up for some good conversation. His coffee is killer and for me is reminiscent of my favorite coffee shop that used to be in Fort Collins, but is no longer there. The man loves to cater to his customer’s. When does that ever happen anymore?
We had a craving for his Ruben’s the other night and although he was already closed, Matt said come on down and he cooked for us anyway. I don’t know of any other place in town that I could have found an owner that would have been so generous with his time. Please stop in and try this place out you won’t be sorry. Odd location, but who cares, this is a great place!!!

First and foremost, this is some AMAZING coffee. From hemp milk to sunflower milk, milk chocolate syrups to decadent dark chocolate syrups, the options are incredible. He also has quite a few options for Chai teas, too. I love the «have it your way» coffee places that know how to tailor to the taste buds of the individual coffee drinker. The coffee is great — and yet — the sandwiches are where this place really shines. Unbelievable rueben on rye — he says he cooks the corned beef for 18 hours. I’ve never in my life had a better rueben — and my grandmother’s maiden name is Carol Biggens. The only drawback to this place is the location. I wish there was a way to get this place into Old Town where all the traffic is — they’re at a serious disadvantage being at the bottom of a huge empty parking lot next to a karate place. No ambiance whatsoever — and I like to hang out at coffee shops. It’s cool, though — I haven’t had a good cup of coffee in Arvada since Two Rivers changed their syrups. Go here — you’ll LOVE it. (I recommend being open and honest with your likes — the dude can meet them).

Nice little coffee and sandwich shop. Nice décor, very friendly owner. Makes his own whipped cream for the hot chocolate, yum! The décor is cozy and he plays «classic» shows on the tv.
