Coffee Shop on Tennyson Street
Your neighborhood coffee stop in Berkeley
Tennyson Street has plenty of places to wander, but good coffee still comes down to the basics: real espresso, fresh food, and a place where you can actually settle in for a while.
That’s what we built at Alley Brews.
We’re a women-owned brewery, coffee bar, and neighborhood hangout tucked just off Tennyson Street in Denver’s Berkeley neighborhood, right behind Ohana Yoga + Barre in the alley.
In the morning, people wander in for coffee and breakfast burritos. Midday turns into lunch and quick bites. By the afternoon, laptops open, meetings happen, and coffee slowly transitions into beer or cocktails.
Same room. Different rhythms throughout the day.
Your all-day neighborhood hangout — find us in the alley.

Real espresso, by Vail Mountain Coffee
A lot of breweries add coffee as a side project.
We treat it like its own craft. And we spent months perfecting the flavors, product lines, and dialing in every aspect to make a great drink.
Our espresso drinks are built the same way we approach brewing beer or mixing cocktails — good ingredients, balanced flavors, and no shortcuts.
Whether you’re stopping in for a quick caffeine run or staying awhile, our coffee program focuses on the classics done well.
Coffee is better with food
Simple yet delicious breakfast & morning foods
Morning regulars usually grab something warm with their drink before heading out for the day.
Morning favorites: breakfast burritos (smothered optional) or pancake bites!
A comfortable place to work during the day
If you’ve ever searched coffee near me and ended up somewhere that clearly didn’t want laptops, you know the feeling.
We designed Alley Brews to work for both quick visits and longer hangs.
Some people stop in for a fast espresso.
Others set up for a few hours of remote work.
Midday tends to bring a mix of:
• remote workers
• freelancers
• neighborhood meetings
• people taking a break from walking Tennyson Street
Order another coffee. Grab lunch. Open a beer if the workday is winding down.
Nobody rushes you out.
Coffee first. Beer & cocktails later.
One of the things people notice quickly: we stay open later than most coffee shops on Tennyson. That means the space evolves throughout the day.
Morning starts with espresso and breakfast.
Afternoon shifts into coffee, lunch, and remote work energy.
Evening brings craft beer brewed in-house, cocktails made with real ingredients, and casual dinner plates meant for sharing.
If you start the day with coffee, you can easily circle back later for an espresso martini, a local beer, or something to eat.
Lunch & casual dinner on Tennyson
If your coffee stop turns into lunch, you’re covered.
Our food menu is built for easy weekday meals and relaxed evening hangs.
Popular plates
• pretzel bites with beer cheese
• green chili nachos
• mac & cheese
• sliders (pulled pork, brisket, jackfruit)
• flatbreads including brisket + gorgonzola + balsamic and buffalo chicken
Great for a quick lunch between errands, or settling in with friends later in the evening.
