With four locations through out the Denver metro area, including one with an amazing speakeasy attached, Teocali is a go to for delicious, authentic Mexican food. Try their queso fundido. You won't regret it

Honey Hill Cafe
One of my favorite places for amazing seasonal options. They also serve up some of the best breakfast burritos I've had in a coffee shop

The first women/immigrant-owned, bilingual, Guatemalan inspired cafe in Denver. Nestled in the heart of North Denver, Convivio Cafe is warm, inviting and serves a killer cafe con leche. I'm begging you to try the tostada trio
