CAFE SESSION WITH STEVE: MAY 2024

Welcome to our May Café Session! The sun is shining, the birds are singing, and the temperature is finally climbing—it's officially warm weather season! Park days and outdoor adventures beckon, inviting us to soak up the splendor of nature. But before we head out, let's take a moment to reflect on Denver’s beloved sports teams. Sadly, both the Nuggets and the Avs have bowed out of the playoffs, leaving us without a championship run to rally behind. I'd say at least the Rockies are still in it, but let's be real—they're giving new meaning to the term "it’s a rebuilding year." That said, there's still plenty of joy to be found in a day at Coors Field with a cold beer in hand—because even though the Rockies are undeniably terrible, they at least offer us a great excuse to get outside and enjoy a cold one with friends!

CAFE SESSION WITH STEVE: JANUARY 2024

Greetings, fellow coffee enthusiasts! As we gear up for the Super Bowl showdown between the Chiefs & 49ers, the excitement is palpable, albeit tempered by the fact that this match-up lacks the thrill of an underdog story or the novelty of a fresh rivalry, having seen these teams face off not so long ago in 2020. Yet, with the promise of an entertaining halftime show featuring Usher, we're ready to settle in for a good time. Also, as we approach the end of January, this week teasing us with almost spring-like weather, we're reminded…

Welcome back to our caffeinated rendezvous! With Thanksgiving leftovers now devoured and the humorously coined "Black out Friday" in the rearview mirror (cheers to all those post-turkey drinks!), we've officially crossed into the holiday season. Now the tunes of the festive season have started their annual conquest of our eardrums, and though Christmas music isn't exactly my jam, I'll raise a cup to those who revel in it.

CAFE SESSION WITH STEVE: OCTOBER 2023

Welcome back to another exciting Café Session! As the ghostly apparitions of Halloween fade into the background and the Halloween costumes have been packed away, (no more debates about whether dressing as a coffee bean is too cliché), leaving behind a trail of sweet memories and sugar-induced shivers, we find ourselves basking in the aromatic embrace of November. And, let's face it, the chill in the air feels like a wake-up call even before that first sip of morning brew. Halloween was a blast, no doubt, but it brought with it a spine-tingling reminder that winter's icy grasp is inching closer…
