One of my favorite places in the Springs, Colorado Coffee Merchants, is expanding its reach. The new-as-of-Jan. 1 Jelly cafe in Denver's Capitol Hill area will be serving up Ümpire Estate Mountain Roasters coffee, with made-to-order donuts. Or Candied Pecan Sweet Potato Pancakes, Bhakti Chai French Toast, a bunch of hashes and Benedicts, a cold cereal bar, salads, sandwiches and seven different kinds of burgers. Take your pick. It all sounds delicious.

Next time you're in Denver, pop by. And make sure to grab a cup of joe, specially roasted in the Springs.
