Review from Keyta E.

Finally got over there (5 blocks away..really?). Wow! So nice to have a blended coffee meticulously created by an unrushed barista. And the quality was wow. Bought some of the Ethiopian but haven't opened yet. However, the smell in my pantry is fabulously overpowering. Makes it hard not to open them yet.
This is a quality business with quality product. I am excited about and for them.
Also, they have recycling stations (love!!) inside the building for batteries, cells, shoes, #6 plastic, corks, etc. Obviously, they have great business morals. Did I say love this place!?! -

Shsssssshhhhhhhhhh...........Its a secret (and it's for gardener's only, too; Allegro's PREFERRED recipients)
The warehouse gives out free burlap bags one day a week from their warehouse. I could give you the time, day and specific location, but you have to do a little work yourself. First come, first serve (and don't spoil it for the rest of us by bogarting everything for yourself, either (OR trying to make a profit, or sumptin.)
I stapled my colorful, graphic bags to a trellis, to keep my nosey neighbors from looking into the backyard. Several seasons in, they have weathered well.Listed in: HANDS DOWN, Going Going ..........Green

If you've ever had coffee at Whole Foods, you've had Allegro coffee. In fact, they are owned by Whole Foods.
This Thornton location is actually their roasting facility, and they happen to have a little cute full-service coffee shop adjacent to it. The place is in a large gray industrial building sandwiched between a bunch of school district offices. You really have to know it's there.
Their hours are very funky, and even considering the absence of good coffee shops in the area and as much as I like Allegro coffee, I mostly forget to think of them as an option.Listed in: Coffee I love

I used to work near Allegro and it was my regular coffee shop. I would still go after work if it was open later but it usually closes mid-afternoon. Now I mostly go to buy my coffee in bulk which I do on a regular basis. Good stuff!
If there is a crowd, expect to wait in line a bit as they usually only run one person behind the counter. Some pastries (from whole foods) and some sandwiches that often are gone by noon as the folks who work nearby often snap them up when they come in for their morning coffee. I know I used to do that.
Nice little shop. Friendly folks behind the counter. Good coffee either by the cup or the pound. Only reason I don't give them five stars is their short hours. -

Great little coffee shop located right in their huge roasting facilities. Leather sofas with a view of the roasters makes for a nice hangout spot. Refreshing when compared to Starbucks.

I'm thankful for YELP or I would not have found this place. It's hidden a bit off the beaten path so you have to know what you are looking for. The day I stopped in, the girl at the counter was very nice, telling me a bit about the place. The macchiato was great and I enjoyed a scone to go with it in the quiet while I watched the roasting facility operate through the glass window at the back of the shop. A great place to go to read and relax. The only problem as others have stated is the short hours. They close by early afternoon so if you're a night person, you're out of luck.

Great place. Hidden little gem attached to the large roasting facility, near a school. They do the coffee roasting for Whole Foods. Had a great machiatto and the knowledgable barista helped us select some great beans too.

Why a 4+ star rating? 'Cause nobody gets a 5 'til I'm on my deathbed and ready to drink from that final cup at the last coffee stop before heaven. Having said that, so far Allegro's Organic French Roast is beating all the others. I wanted to choose some highbrow roast like the "Novo Amaro Gayo Natural" or sumpin' fancy-schmancy from Sonata, but that's just not the case. If other people have suggestions, I'll be pleased to get your recommendations, but for homemade espresso, so far this baby's richer than Carlos Slim and its what I wanna have in my hand when the final caffeine rush is over.

went to go visit a friend in the hood and yelp helped me out big time - so excited this place exists! latte was great and was surprised to see that they had quite a good selection of food to eat as well. everyone is right - it is very hidden and very much a secret, but finding it made my day...offsets the pain of burb living!
