A Denver coffee shop located in a historically black neighborhood apologized Wednesday for placing a sidewalk sign outside the establishment that read, "Happily gentrifying the neighborhood since 2014!" The other side of the sign stated: "Nothing says gentrification like being able to order a cortado," according to local reports. “My first reaction was, ‘Is this real?’ because it’s just so mind blowing,” Johnson told The Denver Post. In a series of tweets, emails, and Facebook posts Wednesday afternoon, the company repeatedly apologized for the sign. “We clearly drank too much of our own product and lost sight of what makes our community great,” the company said on its official Twitter account.
