Work recommendation — Denver’s Bardo Coffee House

Altrui Consulting is based in my home in southern California. As someone who has “worked from home” for almost three years, one of the things I have learned is to get out in the world once in a while and work from somewhere other than the home office.

With clients and potential clients everywhere, I also do several road trips a year to see people I love and to establish new clients in places I like to visit.

Denver is one such place. Seven years ago we left Denver (Lakewood), and although we love southern California, we miss a lot of people back in Denver. I’m fortunate to be able to return a couple of times a year.

I’m in Denver now, seated in my favorite coffee house to work from, Bardo Coffee House, in Wheat Ridge. They know how to create an amazing work space for nomads and work from home folks alike. They have excelled in it.

I love many things about Bardo. First, the coffee. Always a great brew, and if I want a treat I can have an oat milk latte. They also offer delish vegan (along with non-vegan) morsels, like an amazing breakfast burrito and several types of bread (think pumpkin, zucchini) from a company in Boulder.

There are several different spots to work from. I love that I can make myself comfortable on the sofa, sit with a client at a table, or move over to high-tops that are spacious, a little private, and perfect for that Zoom call I need to attend. There is also seating outside.

They offer free wifi for two hours with a purchase. Their wifi is strong. I’ve never had an issue. They also have electric plugs everywhere (and I really mean everywhere!).

With all of the people working here and having conversations, I’m amazed by how quiet it is. Or better said, not loud. I can thnk clearly, undisturbed.

If you’re in the Denver area and need a place to work for a bit, or just want a sweet place to enjoy a delicious cup of coffee, swing by Bardo Coffee House in Wheat Ridge.
