Conveniently located next to the Montrose Brown line station. Fantastic bagels, sandwiches, coffee, and staff.

Apr '16 —
This place at the Montrose Stop used to be a less… good place called “Bagels and Bagels”—some employees purchased the shop and have done a great upgrade to Spoken. Atmosphere and tables are great, staff are friendly, wifi is not Google Starbucks quality, but still better than many indie coffee shops. Will start returning.

What's Real-time Capacity?

Using really fantastic technology, we're able to show you how likely it is you'll find a seat at this space right now.

What does the data show?

The following breakdown shows the possible outcomes you'll see.

Many	The likelihood of finding an open seat right now is high.
Some	The likelihood of finding an open seat right now is good.
Few	The likelihood of finding an open seat right now is low.

How is it calculated?

We look at people entering and exiting the space, matching that against the total available seating. Sprinkle in a little magic and, voilà, you have real-time seating capacity.

Contact us to get this set up in your space and download the Density iPhone app to get real-time information in your pocket.

Tips

1. Cell phone photos are OK.

2. While we find that most folks don't mind being in the background of photos, don't sweat it if someone objects. Thank ‘em and find another shot or go back to working/studying.

“Excuse me. Do you mind if I take a picture of this area with you working in the background? It’s for a project I’m a part of that connects people like us with great spaces to work, like this one.”

We’re not using community sourced photography for commercial purposes, so you needn’t worry about documented permission or release forms.

3. Submitted photos will be attributed to you unless you state otherwise.
