50 Best Cafes near Thornton

“I used to really like Petes food and service but every time I go by a parking lot is full one time I was watching and they were saving the spots in front of the front door for the people that worked there and for Pete himself that’s a good way to put yourself out of business“

“Amazing food and amazing people.“

“In town for business, never been here before so I thought I’d give it a try. I wasn’t sure what to get and had alot of questions. The lady that works there, Tami, was so nice, warm, and welcoming! Tami took the time to go over different options and what they each come with. She knew what she was talking about! With Tami’s help, I decided on the turkey bacon avocado sandwich with a cup of broccoli cheddar soup! I’m so glad I stopped here! I’ll definitely be back!! Thanks Tami! I’m assuming you are the manager but if not, I hope the right person sees this! It’s so nice to be treated like a customer!!“

“Ashley helped me out and she was very informative, with great customer service. The hot wings are delicious I got the garlic butter and they did not disappoint very crispy, I upgraded my regular fries to the hot Cheeto fries and my taste buds went wild. So many options also tried the carne asada fries and I was hooked! The prices are great too!“

“Do not miss this small gem near downtown Denver! Whether your knowledge of tea is extensive or very basic, the staff seems happy to help you find a brew you'll like. I enjoyed my first matcha, alongside an absolutely delightful salmon sandwich. Allow some time to browse the eclectic book selection, and just enjoy the vibe.“

“Ate at the 20th for the first time in eons. Still the absolute best chicken fried steak in Colorado! I’ll be back soon! Best part of our weekend!“

“Hidden gem in Lakewood for breakfast/lunch. Fresh made biscuits daily. They always have buttermilk and a rotating biscuit of the day with great sandwich options 😋 solid coffee as well“

“Their french toast taste like Christmas morning at grandma's house. Their bacon is crispy and their customer service is superb. I want to try the rest of their menu. But with how big the portions are, it take me a few dozen times before I could try them all. I guess I'll have to come back 🤷‍♀️“

“This place is phenomenal. ? Highly recommend visiting, whether you need a place to work for a few hours, want lunch to go, or need w place to meet up with a group of friends for breakfast. The food is *so* flavorful and well priced. There are plenty of seats and accessible charging outlets at every booth. I appreciate any cafe that has food more than pastries and burritos, and this one hits the nail on the head. Try one of their authentic dishes to really impress your taste buds. I also really love all the stained glass pieces in this cafe. Run, don’t walk!

“It's like an Apple store served matcha. Very modern vibe, no indoor seating, and no menu personalizations. However, the drinks (hojicha with vanilla creme and lime blueberry fresca) were delicious. Not sure if they were worth $9+ each, but would recommend this spot if you're in the mood to splurge on a fun drink.“

“A favorite for our whole family. We have used Breadwinners Catering for years and when cafe opened it became the perfect spot for business lunches, family brunch and now dinner. With CoVid, finding a restaurant with outdoor seating and spacious table separation is difficult. They have 2 outdoor patios and indoor seating is adjusted for our safety.“

“Such a cute neighborhood spot. Love their egg sandwiches and gf chocolate chip cookies. Great spot to swing by for food and a nice walk on the weekend!“

“Food was Dynamite! This is a must eat at place for sure!“

“Americano Coffee is spot on, sweet bread pastries are great, decore is a bit industrial but fits the setting, walk up service is great but parking is a bit slim due to a small lot and busy surrounding roads, over all a great place to stop and grab a cup and sweets!
Priced appropriately.“

“The absolute best coffee shop in Denver! I ordered the Horchata Latte which was served hot in a traditional red clay mug. My beverage was smooth had a delicate body, a gentle sweetness and fruitiness, and an acidic snap to finish off the experience. There was ample, clean space to sit with friends in the courtyard right outside with chairs and tables. The shop was colorfully complimented with locally made goods, homemade Mexican pan dulce, and offered so much more than coffee. They even make atole which takes me back to my childhood! I can't wait to try everything on their menu. This is my new favorite place in Denver and will quickly become yours too!“

“A true and unique culinary experience. I’ve read about Bruto but the experience has completely solidified my position on it being one of a kind and rightfully given the Michelin rating.“

“They have amazing breakfast burritos, well actually anything you can order with green chili on it is guaranteed to be amazing! Its been a while since I've been in but they used to have some pretty groovy gals waiting tables and its never too long of a wait to get your food.“

“Met my wife here for a mid-day coffee. If you’re looking for local place that’s not a Starbucks near downtown, this is a good option. Converted victorian-style house. Nice side patio with *many* water fountains. Coffee was served outside from a camper. Has dedicated parking on the north side. Street parking also available.“

“I always enjoy myself there both with the 4 legged staff and the 2 legged staff. All are very friendly and looking to be loved. When I lost a kitty and wasn't quite ready for another one, my cup was filled with happiness when I went there for comfort. they have fun events that I always look forward to like Bingo, Trivia and arts and crafts. Check them out and give and get some love.“

“I’ve been coming here since I first moved to Denver in 2017, and it’s always been consistent! The pastries used to be a little bit better but that’s OK. I’m here for the coffee. I really appreciate that they are open until 5 PM. It used to be my favorite spot for sober dates.“

“Always awesome coffee (Pablos), but more than that...they take the time to learn names and specific drinks and always very kind and fun. I go every morning. Great food too with plenty of vegan options for my daughter - breakfast burrito is out of control. Can also get to go bloodies. What’s not to like?. Support a local business rockin’ it! Thanks y’all!!! ☕️ 🤘❤️“

“Found this place because it’s close to my boyfriend’s new job, and I am so glad to have discovered it! The dirty chai is one of the best I’ve found, and it’s clean and seems to be relatively quiet during the week. Free WiFi and lots of outlets to charge a phone or laptop, and outdoor seating is delightful.“

“Amazing food, great staff quick delivery. This food is authentic!! These guys pick up where the others leave off!!! We’ve ordered takeout around Arvada for years and finally decided. This is the best place closest to our house. Don’t miss out. Everything is good. If you’re lucky the owner of the store will deliver it to you.“

“I recently used this professional business for a garage door repair, and they did an excellent job. Their garage door replacement was flawless, and they promptly fixed a broken spring. I highly recommend their general repair & installation services.“
