Peaky Peak Coffee & Charcuterie, the Lone Tree cafe known for bold Vietnamese blends by day and charcuterie boards at night, is plotting a move into Denver’s Golden Triangle. If all goes to plan, the popular suburban hangout will finally plant a flag downtown, aiming straight at the growing crowds swirling around museums and new apartment buildings.
According to WhatNow, the second location is slated for 1075 Bannock Street inside the Modera Golden Triangle complex, although no opening date is on the books yet. The report notes that Denver’s version will keep the familiar day-to-night setup: coffee and pastries in the morning, then wine, cocktails, and charcuterie boards once the sun goes down.
Owners and the concept
Peaky Peak, run by Tracy and Quy (Q) Nguyen, started in Lone Tree with a tight focus on Vietnamese coffee, pastries, and small plates. The business says it sources beans straight from farms in Vietnam’s Central Highlands and pours them in everything from single drinks to full coffee flights. Background on the owners and the menu is laid out in a local profile from Castle Pines Connection.
The Lone Tree shop also leans into house-made bites and charcuterie to keep people lingering past the morning rush, a model that will be closely watched as it makes the jump into a denser downtown neighborhood.
Permits show the buildout
City plans reviewed by local reporters show that the Bannock Street space will come in at roughly 1,644 square feet with a 72-person occupancy. That includes around 45 indoor seats, a full coffee-and-bar counter, and a back-of-house kitchen. Those details, along with the equipment list, were pulled from contractor filings and the building permit and summarized by Naked Denver.
Legal note
State liquor records list Peaky Peak on the statewide license roster with a tavern-style entry tied to the Lone Tree location, consistent with the brand’s evening wine-and-cocktails service. That registration appears on the state’s published liquor list used for license verification.
Why it matters for the Golden Triangle
The Golden Triangle has been filling in fast with new residential projects and street-level retail, turning it into prime territory for operators that want both early-morning commuters and after-work crowds. Listings for Modera Golden Triangle describe an eight-story rental building with ground-floor retail bays and active leasing, which helps explain why a compact, all-day concept like Peaky Peak is zeroing in on the corner of Bannock and 11th Avenue.
There is still no firm opening date for the Bannock shop. Neighbors and downtown workers will likely be watching for inspection signs in the windows and, eventually, a grand-opening announcement. We will update this story when Peaky Peak or the property manager posts confirmed dates or details on the Denver menu.
