How we do it at SOGO

01

9-stage filtered water

Coffee is almost entirely water, so ours runs through nine stages of filtration before it meets a bean. No chlorine, no hard minerals, nothing flattening the flavor.

02

Homemade everything

Syrups cooked in our own kitchen. Breads and pastries baked fresh every morning. Nothing off a supplier shelf, so nothing here can be ordered anywhere else.

03

Premium roasted beans

Premium beans, dialed in for our own espresso and brew menu. We pick them for the drinks we actually serve, not the other way around.

04

A place to settle in

A plant-filled room with free Wi-Fi, comfy indoor seating and a garden patio out back. Minutes from downtown Golden and Colorado School of Mines.

The lounge: green velvet seating and a round wood table against the hand-sculpted plaster niche wall, plants in every cut-outTables and the long green banquette beside the roll-up garage door, open to the foothills, with hanging plants and skate decks aboveThe room end to end, looking toward the espresso bar, with painted skate decks and plants along the plaster wall

Add it up and you get drinks you cannot order anywhere else, made by hand, in a room you will want to stay in. See the menu

Love SOGO? Bring the full coffee shop to your next event.

The van carries its own power and water, so it goes where a plug-in cart can't. A field, a backyard, a parking lot, a trailhead. Espresso machine, baristas, cups, setup and cleanup all come with it.

Bring the coffee to your wedding, office, campus event, graduation, open house or backyard.

    Really cute little cafe! The mango coconut matcha was yummy. Chatted with the owners and they were both super friendly. Excited to stop back soon!

Is Sogo a good place to work or study?

Yes. Sogo is a cozy, plant-filled cafe with comfy indoor seating, power outlets, free Wi-Fi, and a garden patio. It is a relaxed spot to work, study, or meet up, and it is popular with Colorado School of Mines students just up the road.

Does Sogo have alternative milk options?

What makes Sogo’s coffee different?

Sogo is known for original specialty drinks you cannot find anywhere else, made with handmade syrups, premium roasted beans, and fresh 9-stage filtered water. Signature drinks include the Cookie Dough Latte, Toasted Marshmallow Latte, and Banana Pudding Latte.

Is Sogo dog-friendly?

Yes. Dogs are welcome on Sogo’s back garden patio, which has plenty of seating and a fish pond. We even have a "For the Pup" menu just for them.

Is there parking at Sogo?

Yes, and plenty of it. Sogo has free parking in the lot out front, free parking in the lot next door, and free street parking, across three lots with lots of spaces. Parking is not something you need to plan around at our Golden location.

How far is Sogo from Colorado School of Mines?

Sogo is about 2.5 miles from Colorado School of Mines, roughly a 9 minute drive or a 30 minute walk. There is also a bus stop directly in front of the shop, so you can get here from campus without a car.

What should I order at Sogo for the first time?

Start with the Banana Pudding Latte, the drink we hand first-timers most often. After that, the Pistachio-Coconut Latte. Any of Sogo’s signature drinks can be made as espresso or matcha, and hot or iced, so you can have the flavor the way you like it.

Does Sogo have gluten-free options?

Yes. Sogo serves gluten-free items including the Double Down Hashstack breakfast and raspberry lemon bread, and we rotate new gluten-free recipes through the kitchen regularly.

Does Sogo have vegan options?

Yes. Every flavor syrup at Sogo is vegan, our bagels are vegan, and we keep vegan butter behind the counter. For milk we pour oat and almond alongside dairy, so most drinks on the menu can be made fully vegan.

Does Sogo sell skateboards and skate gear?

Yes. Sogo Beans & Boards is a coffee shop and a skate shop in one. We sell complete boards and decks plus the parts to build and fix them, including bearings, wheels, griptape, trucks, and bolts.

Can I buy bags of coffee beans at Sogo?

Yes. Sogo sells four bags of whole coffee beans to take home: light roast, medium roast, dark roast, and espresso.

Is Sogo family and kid friendly?

Very. Sogo has a large kids drink menu, and the back garden patio has a fish pond and toys for children. The patio is dog-friendly too, so the whole family can come along.

What payment methods does Sogo accept?

Sogo accepts every form of payment, including cash, all major credit and debit cards, Apple Pay, and Google Pay.

Can I order ahead or is there a drive-through?

Neither, for now. Sogo does not have an order-ahead app or an online ordering system, and there is no drive-through. Orders are placed in person at the counter in the shop.

Can I rent out Sogo for a private event?

Yes. Sogo’s space in Golden can be rented for private events. Get in touch through the contact form on this site and we will talk through what you have in mind.

Where can I see the Sogo menu?

You can view Sogo’s full drinks and kitchen menu in the Menu section of this site, or download the printable PDF menus at the bottom of that section.
