New York style bagels in the mile high city - I liked the chewyness of these bagels, but I did find it to be a bit pricy for how much salmon they gave me in the lox bagel sandwich.
Rosenberg's Bagels and Delicatessen - Five Points
I really liked this Japanese fusion restaurant - pricier so save it for a date night or another night out. Start with the shaved broccoli, share a DIY temaki, get the ramen, and don’t skip dessert. The matcha tiramisu was probably my highlight.
Kawa Ni Denver
Bright and open Thai is the RiNo neighborhood - really liked the panang curry and egg rolls. Also had a delicious mocktail with my meal!
Sustainable Thai Food Restaurant in Denver - Aloy Modern Thai
We came without realizing the Denver Restaurant Week had started and were lucky to be seated quickly. We ended both doing the restaurant week meal and would recommend the poutine (with Japanese curry), herbed edamame, vegan ramen, chicken ramen (not ...
Mecha Noodle Bar
We started our day here with some mimosas for International Women’s Day - my only gripe is that a classic OJ & champagne was the same price as a mocktail peach juice & Martinelli’s sparkling cider. I really liked the drop biscuit and sausage ...
Mimosas - Five Points, Denver, CO
I was so happy to have stumbled across this little shop - there were a limited number of pasties left by the time I was there (around 2pm) but I was able to snag a Caretaker (chicken pot pie) to taste test and I’m sold. Can’t wait to go back earlier ...
The Pasty Republic (Tennyson) - Denver
Not as many options for me as someone allergic to cashews, but an excellent option for anyone looking to explore the vegan / gluten free lifestyle.
I finally got to go in person to the downtown Denver location and it might be my new favorite tea experience. Here, the $55 price tag isn’t just for the atmosphere. Instead of it feeling like a fancy event, it felt more akin to a “pop in to catch up ...
Babe's Tea Room - Denver
Shops
A full romance-focused bookstore with sections for whatever you’re looking for (contemporary, queer, romantasy) and a hidden room with some spicier stock (aka toys).
Spicy Librarian
Cute little eclectic shop in the Tennyson shopping area. Perfect for browsing for a fun gift.
Jolly Goods
A little cat cafe in the Tennyson neighborhood - note that there likely are reservations required to avoid overwhelming the kitties, but you can see them napping in the windowsill from the sidewalk outside!
