Still, he said, his remaining staff of nine has been fully paid to date, and that the cafe is current on all other taxes, fees and insurance. Norris also recently discovered a pattern of employee theft, both in product and payroll. A GoFundMe campaign at that time raised $17,000. One involved a stalker who bashed in the front door and was arrested, Norris said, then later someone else smashed in two windows. And twice in the past three months the store has been the target of separate acts of vandalism. John Mooreīut Mutiny has been battling one setback after another since the COVID shutdown and Megyesi’s medical problems, including the murder of Denver tattoo artist and friend Alicia Cardenas of the nearby Sol Tribe Tattoo & Piercing. Patrick Meese of Nathaniel Rateliffe and the Nightsweats and and Isaac Slade of The Fray appeared for a pop-up acoustic set during the 2007 Underground Music Showcase at what is now called Mutiny Information Café. It's moments like this that remind all of us how necessary and special it is to create and share accessible spaces with and for all people and artists in our community." "We are absolutely floored with humility," GoFundMe organizer Kyle Sutherland wrote to supporters today. Norris calls Mutiny “a safe space for all people and communities we love and represent: LGBTQ+, anarchists, punks, hiphoppas, nerds, sex workers, writers, comedians, artists, oddballs, goofballs, etc.” It hosts live music films, author events, magic shows and more. Mutiny is a defiantly independent new and used bookstore with a coffee bar, comic-book shop, records, posters and pinball machines. Norris said the city seized Mutiny after only two notices. Still, he pointed out, the Colorado Department of Revenue web site lists 2,250 Colorado businesses that owe hundreds of millions in back taxes. Megyesi generally handles the finances of the business, and Norris said he was in a daze for the first three months of his illness and wasn’t paying attention to the city’s demand for payment.

Norris takes full responsibility for Mutiny’s present tax predicament. Norris calls his partner’s recovery to date “miraculous but slow.” He is now both on a kidney-transplant list and experiencing major vision loss. But Mutiny’s problems were further compounded earlier this year when Megyesi suffered a near-fatal heart attack. "Coming out of COVID has been hard on all small businesses and humans across the world,” Norris said. Mutiny's problems started, as for so many, with the prolonged pandemic shutdown. We are excited to get back to work doing what we do.

"We know that we have our work cut out for us honoring all these good people who donated. Whether you’re getting an iced coffee in Saigon, bold Turkish coffee in Beirut, or cafe au lait in Paris, the true joy of the experience is interacting with your community, sitting down with a good book, or having a great conversation, and taking a moment to relax."We are humbled and relieved," Norris told The Denver Gazette late Friday night.

In their cafes, you’ll find what makes an area unique, and they tie into a larger truth. The locations chosen below are more than just a place to get a coffee they represent their neighborhoods.

However, there’s something to be said for a local neighborhood spot, free from corporate uniformity, pouring excellent coffee. Of course, you can stop by a certain Seattle-based multi-national and have a perfectly adequate cup of joe.

These experiences are magnified when you get out of the house, leave your coffee pod machine behind, and go to an excellent cafe.

The sounds of the machines dispensing a dark elixir heightening your senses, all of the feelings of warmth and joy as you drink it. But there is something so satisfying about the rituals surrounding consuming coffee. If we’re honest, it could just be a caffeine addiction.
