A new Platt Park coffee shop is going all in on CBD.
Lindsey Sozio, owner of Lavender Coffee Boutique, is opening a one-stop-shop for CBD coffee, teas, and retail items at 1219 S. Pearl St. this fall.
“CBD is a really interesting opportunity,” Sozio said. “It’s been around, it’s not an easy space to play in, and we don’t feel like anyone is doing it well enough.”
Lavender Coffee Boutique isn’t the first Denver coffee shop to offer CBD. Blue Sparrow, for example, sells a CBD iced latte, and SloHi Coffee can add CBD into any cup of joe and sells Sträva CBD coffee beans.
Sozio said Lavender’s beans are sourced from Costa Rica and Peru, and are infused with 15 mg of CBD per serving, as opposed to adding an oil to the brewed coffee as some shops do.
Lavender will also sell her favorite CBD products like face lotions and bath salts. And traditionalists will still be able to get CBD-free coffee.
“We’re just a regular local coffee shop that’s a really nice environment to come into and we’ve got this little specialty element to it that we think will bring people into the CBD market,” her husband Scott Sozio said.
Sozio said she uses CBD products every day, and said CBD coffee in particular is calming yet still energizing.
“You don’t get the jitters when you drink it (CBD coffee),” Sozio said. “I never feel like, oh my gosh I’ve had too much coffee. It’s an elevating but calm focus for everyday.”
Sozio leased the 1,300 square-foot Platt Park space about a year ago and it has been under construction since. Scott Sozio declined to disclose how much they’ve invested on the buildout but added it’s “on the upper end of what a coffee shop would spend.”
The shop is opening just behind Lincoln’s Roadhouse, which went on the market earlier this summer. A block away is the vacant restaurant that was home to a South Pearl staple, Hanson’s Grill & Tavern.
In addition to Lavender Coffee Boutique, Sozio owns an interior design firm. Scott is a partner at the investment firm Van Dyke Holdings LLC, and was CEO at Mtech Acquisition Corp., according to SEC filings.
