As a self-proclaimed espresso snob, mandarin delivers in so many aspects of coffee enjoyment. Their lattes are delicious and creative, the signature combining ginger and spices with just the right amount of sweetness. The cortados and cappuccinos hit so hard as well - bitters are controlled to perfection. Oh and their latte art is top notch. Rarely do you have both amazing coffee and incredible latte art but they do it. This is hands down my new favorite coffee spot.

Mandarins second location and it’s beautiful! Love the natural lighting and it’s very open with more space. The new location is on the main level of apartment complex and on the corner of Quigley & Colorado. I had to come here with my mom and she got the extra hot latte with regular milk + added cinnamon on top the perfect latte and I got brown sugar latte with oat milk no adjustments on sweetness because it’s the perfect balance. If I go anywhere else I have to always order half sweet. They also have great signature drinks :)

Finally stopped by this new Mandarin location and was quite pleased. The barista Eddie took his time to explain their specialty items and make some recommendations. We had the specialty "One and One" and a matcha tonic, and they did not disappoint! Easy street parking and no long lines on Sunday afternoon.

finally!! the long-awaited second (and much larger) location of Mandarin Coffee (dubbed Mandarin 2), located on an unsuspecting corner of E Colorado Blvd. open minimalist space with natural light, soft music, free wifi, and plenty of indoor and outdoor seating (standing bar, stools, chairs). lots of free street parking as well. great place to pop in for a quick drink or leisurely meet up with friends. the pastries are from the same bakery as the OG location, with plenty of coffee and espresso options as well as seasonal offerings, matcha, and non-caffeinated drinks. love that they don’t charge extra for oat milk!! i recommend their Gui Hua latte (served hot only); well balanced floral notes with a hint of sweetness that isn’t overpowering. the staff is friendly and efficient. came here on

First time checking out Mandarin’s new location, and the quality is amazing. I ordered their specialty “One and One,” and it turned out to be both unique and absolutely delightful! Very chill spot with friendly staff.
