Higher Grounds Cafe is located in downtown Golden, CO, just a short walk from the Foothills Art Center, Table Mountain Inn, and many local historic landmarks.

The cafe’s location next door to the Colorado School of Mines campus makes it an excellent location to study, and its proximity to Golden’s tourist attractions allows Higher Grounds to serve as a comfortable, laid back place for an afternoon tea or coffee with friends.

If you have some extra time on your hands, the cafe has a selection of board games available for patrons. The large menu and pleasant atmosphere make Higher Grounds a great lunch destination, and many community groups host their meetings here.

Stop by today for great local, organic and fair trade fare and a welcoming atmosphere!

Nice place and friendly staff. But coffee is weak and internet kept logging me off (didn’t work well).

Definitely give this cute little cafe a stop in! I just had the pumpkin spice chai, dirty, which was not too sweet and not too bitter. Cute outdoor seating area too. Dog friendly.
