4.5 / 5.0(1,367 reviews)

We got the hash, the early riser breakfast burrito, the pumpkin pie hand pie, the coffee cake, and the pecan sticky bun. The burrito was good and at $8 its not a bad deal. The hash was ok but didn't leave me wanting more. The coffee cake was very tasty and would be the only thing I would recommend that is normally available. The sticky bun was good but rather hard. The hand pie was a complete and utter mess, it also tasted more like sweet potato than pumpkin. Show up hungry and leave very satisfied. A wonderful spot for breakfast. The staff are all very friendly and knowledgeable. Thanks Cameron! The DF breakfast burrito was packed with egg, potato, cheese and pork. The green sauce was flavorful and spiced perfectly. The tortilla was soft and provided the right amount of chew. The D-Town omelette was a great option. The roasted red pepper created a nice texture and flavor element. The side salad was surprisingly brilliant. And they do a great latte. This is a new, instant favorite. 100% would come back. Stopped here for late breakfast/brunch when we arrived in Denver and found it to be wonderful! Huge selection of offerings—the pastries and baked goods look phenomenal (the pumpkin hand pie was delicious), the coffee and beverage offerings are expansive (had the maple mushroom medicinal latte with coconut milk and it was very tasty), and the food is fresh and yummy! Lots of healthy options and quality ingredients. Order at the counter and sit and bus your table when you finish — I like this style of eatery and feel like it helps the food come faster (it was very quick). Outdoor seating was lovely. Had the Genoa hash bowl and it was great! Partner had the Buddha Bowl which was very fresh and full of veggies. Would totally come back!

I really like the atmosphere of this smaller location. It has garage doors that can be opened to create an indoor/outdoor setting. The staff is friendly. The food is unique n tasty. I love the presentation with the little skillets. Many small sized desserts to choose from.
