What People Are Saying
from Google & Yelp"This is a coffee shop attached to a vape store, but it doesn’t affect the atmosphere. It’s chill and a good place to take a load off. The seats are comfortable and service pretty good. Nothing special with flavors, but Lakewood prices. Still a solid place for chill vibes and a coffee and they stay open later than most cafes."
"A nice space in a cool part of the city, but I was surprised that it is half smoke shop, half coffee shop. An interesting idea that blends together more than I expected. The coffee was good and the service was exceptional."
"A perfect coffee stop! All of our drinks were excellent. I was impressed that my Nutella latte actually tasted like Nutella. The service was also excellent. They were both patient and efficient. Just an FYI they are within a vape shop - the coffee counter is in the back."
"The service was fantastic! My drink was made absolutely perfectly! I ordered a Cinnamon toast crunch latte with an extra shot of espresso! The gentleman explained their shot process to me, & how they charge it. He also asked me if I wanted whipped cream to make sure that my drink was absolutely perfect (I didn't so that was a big help). To even top it off he helped me with the door because I have a stroller! I am definitely coming back to this place!!! Fantastic coffee and service!!!"
"We stopped in for coffee before going to a show. Cool little spot being half coffee half smoke shop. We both got coffee infused with CBD. Honestly, I wouldn't do it again. The cbd flavor overpowered both of our drinks, and it's all we could taste. I wanna say my coffee would have been good without it, but I don't honestly know. The guy working wasn't the most interactive person I've ever met. Just seemed like he didn't wanna be there and said just a few words. We all have our days I guess. I don't think I'd rush to give this place another go, but maybe if I found myself in the area."
"Pro Tip: Visit to get a pic by their cool Lakewood mural inside the store. Walking into Burning River Coffee was a bit like stumbling into a local secret..."
