“I showed up around 5:30pm and the line was almost out the door. The staff was very timely with getting through the long line of people and making sure to let every person know what ingredients they were out of (in this case, it was white rice and guacamole). The staff was hard working and all told it took about 15 minutes to get through. I fully appreciate the professionalism and kindness of the staff even though they were slammed!“
“I have only been living in Colorado for 5 months, but this was the best experience I have had going out. The staff was amazing, engaging, and beyond friendly. The food was top-notch, and the atmosphere was fun. I will definitely be going back...again and again. ❤️“
“Great staff, food, and atmosphere. If you’re stuck on a decision the servers really know their menu and are quick to help! Personal favorites include the batata vada pav sliders, chow chow, and Rogan Josh. You can’t go wrong with any of it!“
“Katie the server was wonderful! She made our experience very pleasant and enjoyable. I had accidentally spilled my cup of water and Katie was so nice in cleaning it up as she eased my uncomfortable moment.Thank you Katie!We will be back because of her.“

“I’m obsessed with this coffee shop. The sausage biscuit is fantastic. Its gluten free, but I didn’t even realize it until after. The blueberry soda is also one of my new favorite drinks. Oh, and those donut holes were delectable! The people are nice and helpful too. We went three mornings in a row once we discovered it. We don’t live in Denver, so I bought the biscuit mix to make some at home. I’m sure it won’t turn out the same, but hopefully will be close. Can’t wait to come back on our next trip!“
Breakfast • $
“Went here for the first time today for a breakfast for lunch meal and was blown away!! Absolutely delicious!! The biscuits and gravy is what I ordered and it was not your normal old school biscuits and gravy. The gravy has more meat, sausage and bacon, in It than you would get in an entire breakfast elsewhere, the biscuits have cheese baked in them and are huge, eggs and potatoes were cooked perfectly, and the house hot sauce was delightful. A must try in the north metro area.“
“The Denver area has been an enjoyable restaurant experience for us, and we've yet to encounter terrible service or food quality. Root Down is another one of those great experiences.Upon arrival, we were greeted warmly. My husband and I are on our healthy lifestyle change adventure. I was concerned we may not be super welcomed due to our appearance as I am overweight. I love to report that there was never a need for that concern at this location. I've read many reviews regarding restaurants like this that indicated a cliqueish nature and a rudeness to newcomers. Our experience was the opposite.Our waitress was knowledgeable and friendly, with a lot of smiles. We had several seating options and chose the patio to the left of the entrance. We thoroughly enjoyed the Denver skyline and the warmth of the heaters outside. It was a very nice atmosphere.The menu is fabulous. Root Down caters to those with specific dietary requirements and needs without a hint of rudeness or hint to inconvenience. They were glad to accommodate, even though we needed none.Spring Salad and Veggie Burgers were what we ordered. Both delightful and delicious. We were impressed by the staging of the food.If you're searching for a friendly place, great atmosphere, and fantastic non-processed foods at a restaurant that supports sustainability, this is a place we highly recommend. It's perfect for vegans, gluten-free menu options, and healthy food options. You will leave feeling better and healthier than when you walked in.Thanks, Root Down, for such a wonderful experience and for providing amazing food options. This is what normal should be!Dietary restrictions: Fully accommodates restrictions and even willing to prepare without any cross contamination.“
“This pizza was excellent. Probably the best on the strip there that I’ve had. The bar stools were fun and the service was quick. Drink specials weren’t too bad either, so stop in for the happy hour. Would pop in again next time I’m passing through Denver.“
“They were extremely good! The fries here are good enough ketchup isn't nessescary, the sliders are like heaven and the staff were extremely patient and helpful esp. when the happy hour sliders didn't have the discpunt yet. I can see why it's reviewed do highly.“
“I work from here about once a week. The staff is friendly, supportive and operates with clear intentionality to be welcoming and inclusive. I love the art and the atmosphere. I also run into a lot of community organizers and folks who are committed to supporting this area of the city--really a very rare and wonderful local spot that is one part coffee shop and one part community space. Their seasonal menus are also really great!“
“Fundamentally delicious pizza. No crazy combinations, no specially named pies with outside the box ingredients.... Just delicious crust and a great selection of toppings to build your own pizza with.The beer selection is also phenomenal and the waitress was very knowledgeable.The outdoor heated and covered patio was the perfect place to sit with small children.“
“This place rocked. The host got us seated quickly, our server was super nice, had great recommendations, and the food was delicious. If you like brunch with a unique Cajun/New Orleans/ rustic twist, you will like this place. They have their own habanero hot sauce which was insanely delicious and balanced. Not to mention it’s all somehow all happening in a beautiful house with an amazing rooftop patio. 5/5“
“Great experience but not really a market like ones in other states. Grab a smoothie and something fresh like a tuna poke bowl or shrimp ceviche, or some amazing pork tacos, fish tacos. Finish up with a milkshake or some chocolate croissant.“
“Just had G's Gyro and the Creme Brulee Cheesecake as one of the specials that Uptown & Humboldt had to offer today and they were FANTASTIC. Delicious meal for a fair price and great people serving it. If you haven't, you need to meet the owners Gio and Hayden. They work hard and put out great food. Definitely coming back for more. Thanks for the meal!“
“Danni was the perfect server! I am the adventurous type, and so much on the menu looked amazing! I asked Danni to choose for me and make it a surprise and I was NOT disappointed. The sauces were rich but light, house brewed wise exquisite, and the Tiramisu was delectable. I rarely enjoy eating out these day because it rarely rivals my own kitchen, but I will tell you I do appreciate the night off! Humblest compliments to the Chef!“
“I had the pleasure of being served by Meagan, and I must say, her exceptional service truly made our dining experience memorable. Meagan was incredibly attentive, professional, and kind throughout our meal, ensuring that every aspect of our dining experience exceeded our expectations. One particular instance that stood out was when my mother ordered the white toffee coffee, which initially wasn't as hot in temperature as she prefers. Without hesitation, Meagan promptly refreshed it, ensuring that it was served piping hot and to my mother's satisfaction. Her attention to detail and willingness to go the extra mile for her guests truly set her apart. As for the rest of us, we opted for the vanilla chai, which was simply delightful. Alongside our beverages, every breakfast dish we ordered was on point, perfectly cooked and presented with care. Meagan's professionalism, and attentiveness truly enhanced our dining experience. Her dedication to ensuring that each guest leaves satisfied is commendable, and I cannot thank her enough for her outstanding service.If you're looking for a dining experience where exceptional service is guaranteed, I highly recommend requesting Meagan as your server. Thank you, Meagan!“

“A review from a French guest I brought:I liked everything : the food, the service, the decoration and even more the bread !I’m French and the food it’s absolutely worth it. Also the details and the decoration of this restaurant/bakery are just amazing.“
“Traveling for work, I found myself in wheat-ridge for 6 months. I was craving some sliced Italian deli meats and some Italian sweets and found this place nearby according to google. Omg I found heaven!Sliced my meat for me while I picked out some cannoli and pizzelle. Calabrisi was spicy good! I’ve since moved again but while I lived in wheat-ridge, I visited this place every two weeks.“
“I stopped in for breakfast and had the queso Fresca enchiladas. They were delicious! If you order a soda here, you get a HUGE glass... finally a restaurant that is generous with the drink size. The guacamole reminds me of Chipotle's, tastes fresh! Homemade whole pinto beans, too. Great friendly service. I do wish they had booths, but the food and staff was great.“
“The food here is absolutely fantastic, with service to match. Our waiter, Brian, was friendly and provided excellent recommendations. The arancini, pancetta, chicken gnocchi were all fantastic. They have the best risotto I’ve ever tasted. Definitely recommend!“
“Whenever we’re going through Denver we make sure to go to Himalayan Spice - just a few blocks off of I70, easy on and off. They clearly use high quality ingredients and everything we’ve ordered has been excellent. Also very good customer service. Best Indian food I’ve had. Very highly recommended.“
“Excellent sushi restaurant!!! Highly recommend. Many gluten-free options and they do an amazing job preparing the food safely. Presentation is flawless and quality and prompt delivery was exceptional. My only opposition is the pricing. However, it’s comparable to all sushi establishments in the area.“
“Indian fast food with a twist, very clean & hip with healthy options reasonably priced yet super tasty. Must try their heavenly Butter Naan. Marshall ,the owner/chef & host has stayed open through pandemic, he is a fighter and this is a true American success story.“
“Hard not to have a good time here. Awesome bbq with tons of choices. Involved staff that seem to be having fun while taking great care of their patrons. Always the right food and always a positive experience. A bit loud and bosterous which is fantastic when you want a beer and a hot link. Definitely worth every trip.“
“Absolutely wonderful experience here! Food was great, but service was the best part. Mark Y, was so amazing- he was kind, attentive, and provided great recommendations. The cheesecake was to die for, I would come back just for that. Hostesses and managers were great as well.“
“I had to supply gluten free treats for a work event and they blew it out of the water! My previous bakery canceled last minute and they took my order and had it ready asap! The flavors were incredible and I highly recommend them! I will definitely be going back again and again!Dietary restrictions: Gluten-free“
“Bella Macaron not only has amazing Macarons, but also an incredible staff! They helped me with an order for a celebration of life. The Macarons were delicious and the family was over the moon with the special design. If you Have never had them, it's time to stop by!!“
“The best sports bar near where I grew up in the north side of Denver, Colorado!! They have amazing beer selections, always have any kind of sports on, and their bar food is not some clique sports bar menu, they have high quality items that stick out the front page. Always come back when I go home. Oh and the service, just Fantastic!!“
“Love the tacos here, but the atmosphere is crazy loud and the tables are crowded together quite close. I would be okay with this but the prices are just a little higher than I would expect as well. So with those two things, we don't frequent this place as often as we normally would a really good restaurant. But if you are willing to deal with those couple little things, and want some fantastic tacos, check them out!!!“
“On our many visits we usually have one French sandwich. Always excellent and we like the guys! Today the online system said “not available.” When I picked up lunch I asked and was told “oh, we have it, that’s just a problem with the internet “!No big deal, but imagine the difference if someone said”, have you got 5 minutes and I’ll make you what you wanted”? Just sayin!“
“Amazing brunch experience! Came here directly after a 4 hour flight and instantly fell in love. The staff is super sweet and friendly, the food is incredible and full of original ideas. My group liked it so much, we went out of our way to come here again on our way back to the airport on this trip. Please please please come to Reston, Virginia!!“
“Went to a wedding where the cake was AMAZINGLY DELICIOUS. Turns out they got it from here. Flavor: Blackberry Champagne ?Would 100% recommend to try.They have plenty of flavors in cupcakes and even ice cream too!The staff is super friendly and helpful.Tried the hot chocolate as well. It did not disappoint.“
“A review with my full thoughts would be far too long. This place is amazing — the food, the staff, the location. All of it. I used to live in Denver and moved away a couple years ago, but try to make it a point to pop in for some donut holes my trips back. I came back two years after moving away and the owner not only remembered me, but remembered my wife’s favorite flavor of donut hole. The amount of care the entire staff puts into this establishment is undoubtedly displayed in every visit.“
“We came for the cider, cheese, and truffle pairing and we were not disappointed. The staff was super friendly and efficient! My favorite pairing was the Jimmy Buffett combo. If you like delicious ciders and a great atmosphere, I'd highly recommend stopping by.“
“Just right pizza if you like hand tossed. A nice little bit of spice in the sauce, good toppings and cheese. Wash down with good bevs and you have a great comboCozy joint on the small side but they make it work. Friendly staff and good food make it worth coming back to“
“The Enchanted Oven is my new go-to for all birthday cakes and other bakery items. The items are lighter in sugar than other local bakeries but they do not skimp on flavor. Today I had a sausage croissant roll. Eating this was a transcendent experience. My daughter got a chocolate croissant (and let me have a bite). The chocolate croissant was definitely the best one I've ever tried. We also bought a birthday cake for a party tomorrow and we can't wait to try it. Maki the owner really helped us out, and the staff was the most attentive I've ever encountered at this type of place. Our experience exceeded all expectations - totally blew other bakeries out of the water. We will definitely be back. Update: I have been down with a virus for a few days so I emailed to cancel my bento box. Folks, this is where it gets INTERESTING. They offered to deliver it to me! I can't believe how accommodating these folks are. This is the kind of customer service you can't find anyplace else. And by the way, the bento box was delicious. I might have just been healed by this yumminess.“
“The Quiche Lorraine, Cinnamon Roll (with croissant dough), and all of their other goodies are super delicious and decadent! The staff is very kind and helpful too! This place is truly a little taste of France! 100% recommend to everyone!Parking: The entrance is in the back of the building. There is parking in front and back.“
“Petunia is a neighborhood favorite with bakery classics, some made with a Mexican twist (spotlight on Birria croissant)! There’s a really delightful spread, everything from macarons and birthday cake to hearty sandwiches and Chilaquiles. It hits the spot and I hope the shop can continue to grow roots and become a local staple.“
“You will really enjoy the drinks, food, the service and the wonderfully diverse Southern menu! This is one of our favorite places to meet friends.Five star attitude from all the staff; So friendly and helpful, despite being overworked.Amazing and original menu.Always unique drink specials. Very popular breakfast spot, so expect at least a 30+ minute wait. No reservations, and the online "call ahead" app failed to notify.Parking in the rear, because the street is always full. Rooftop dining is great if you can get seating.“
“Very delicious coffee and their staff are consistently kind. This is my favorite coffee shop in Denver to destress and heal. When you have a time to sit down for a cup of coffee, I strongly recommend letting them know to order for here in their coffee cup rather than disposable paper cup for better experience including the beautiful latte art, mini biscotti, and better taste!“
“Drove out of our way to try Ben’s while passing through Denver. We ordered online. Pickup was fast and easy. Food fresh, tasty and ample. Restaurant appears to be a ghost kitchen. Somehow my teens knew about that concept. Interesting and not a problem. The chocolate cashew pudding was not as creamy as dairy pudding, but a good option for those avoiding dairy.“
“I LOVE THIS PLACE! Great spot!!! All things gluten-free! Fried chicken tacos, GF... Amazing! Deviled eggs are delicious! Lobster Mac & Cheese did not disappoint!Friendly staff. Easy to find, lots of street parking available. Large patio available.Interior is beautifully decorated!“

“The vibe in here is so homey and beautiful! The food was amazing and quick. You order at the counter and pick a table inside or outside. We came in the snow and the corner booth was a perfect spot to enjoy this delicious meal! Can't wait to go back and try more. Really great coffee!!!“
“Y’all this place is SO GOOD. A must eat spot for anyone in Denver, vegans, vegetarians, and omnivores. Our party had all of the above and everyone loved it.We were visiting from Seattle and had our return flight canceled. After a stressful afternoon of rebooking everything, we came here to refresh ourselves with delicious food and drink, and boy did they deliver.I got a coconut orange cream Italian soda that was exactly the childhood nostalgia kick I needed, and ended up choosing the BBQ mac wrap with a side of the soup on our server’s recommendation.Speaking of, our server Austin was the BEST. He answered all of our many questions and refilled our drinks and split our check five ways even though he was very busy and we appreciated it greatly.I want to come back to Denver just to eat here again!The space is open and full of light, with cool light installations and art.Vegetarian options: All vegetarian! Pizzas have dairy cheese but vegan option availableDietary restrictions: Clearly marked. Most things are vegan, the pizzas have dairy cheese but vegan cheese options are available. Dishes are also marked if they are gluten free or contain nuts.“
“First time there. It is different with the upstairs and downstairs.I sat upstairs and had a great view of Led Zeppelin 2, they blew the roof off the place!!I had the pepperoni pizza and it was delicious.Service was excellent.The only thing I didn't care for was this:I had reserved seats for the show but when I got there I was told there were people at my table eating so I had to wait until about 15 minutes before the show started to get my seat.Great place and I'll be back for another show!!“
“First time here, and we had such a great experience! The manager Rob greeted personally and gave us a pancake sampler on the house. Absolutely delicious pancakes. Our waiter was Jake and we were impressed with how attentive he was to our party of 4! We will definitely be back to this location.“
“Love Ike’s Love & Sandwiches. They offer a ton of great sandwiches, so if you're at a loss—try one of the favorites❤️. You should always get your sandwich dirty, their delicious garlic aioli, and the Dutch Crunch bread. The employees are always awesome as well and ever helpful. Only been twice, but already obsessed, and a clear favorite is #111, the Menage A Trois with Halal chicken, honey mustard, BBQ sauce, honey, Pepper Jack, Swiss, and Cheddar. Feb 2024Vegetarian options: Probably over 1/3 of their sandwiches are vegetarian.“
“Great pizza, I’ve been here multiple times this is definitely one of my go to spots for pizza better than the preservative filled Little Caesars and Pizza Hut I used to give business to. I’m glad to support a family owned business over a corporate one.Kid-friendliness: Foosball, coin game that uses quarters. My 4yo loves to get quarters to play the coin game“
