“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!!“

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.“

“Great place! Stopped by with family on a quick trip to Denver. Great food and coffee, service was amazing. They need a place like this in SLC.“

“We went to get rights today for the first time, and it was incredible! The bacon breakfast sandwich was made with the fluffiest brioche roll. The morning bun and hazelnut chocolate croissant were absolutely to die for. I cant wait to try more!“

“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.“

“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!“

“The food was great. French toast combo. The eggs were cooked perfect. I like mine scrambled well, and they were just right. The sausage and bacon were delicious and the French toast was very good. Cindy needs to open a school on how to be a Great waitress. Nobody waited for anything. My coffee cup never got empty until I told her that I didn't need anymore.“

“I ordered a Cherry Italian Cream Soda and my mom had a Caramel Latte. Both were delicious! The vibe was awesome and I can't wait to visit again!“

“I came to SAME Cafe for a private work event. The environment was clean and comfortable. The staff were amazing and I wish I would've gotten their names. They served amazing food with beautiful presentation. It's a place that welcomes everyone with a great mission! I will be back to continue to support them. Now I have another tool to present to the community. Not many places are warm and welcoming to everyone but SAME Cafe is!“

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

“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!“

“Stumbled upon this place after my stomach was arguing with me for lunch and noticed a 9.99 large pepperoni pizza 12’ and how could you not get someone in the door with such a good deal? Incredible vibe inside, but let’s get to the good part, the pizza!! Originally from Milwaukee/chicago so I know a good pie when I try it and would, on certain days, consider myself a pizza connoisseur, but this one takes the cake hands down. I tried a few other “Chicago style” pizza places, and they don't give the justification this pizza gives. Incredible cheese pull; I could chug a gallon of the pizza sauce by itself if I had a chance. The pepperoni was amazing, of course, and my oh my did I have an amazing experience. I instantly thought to myself, this chef must come from Chicago or somewhere in the Midwest, and sure enough, he was! Corey, you’re the man, bro! I’ll be back and can’t wait to have other people try it.“

“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“

“Came in for a coffee and to read for a spell and realized this place is so much more! I came back for book group and I'll be back for trivia and maybe open mic night and maybe even game night. Also, the coffee, atmosphere and service were all top notch!“

“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.“

“Came for Mother’s Day and today and everything we ate was phenomenal, like always, espresso drinks Vietnamese coffee is delicious, and don’t forget to order fresh orange juice. Thanks Gabriel for the bone broth rec. best bone broth in Denver.“

“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!“

“Our favorite matcha in Denver!“

“We happened upon this one of a kind gem of a family Cafe by accident, but we will absolutely be back anytime we are in the area again. My wife and I had been to a concert (My Chemical Romance) the night before and up very late, searching for breakfast places nearby the next morning and Westys easily was the obvious choice. Somehow I just had a feeling that Westys would be great. When we arrived we were promptly greeted, watered and coffee'd; and probably the best host I've ever had, Frankie, began to do what I would say he does best, being a friendly, welcoming, genuine person! I had some questions about items on the menu and asked if the restaurant had Greek heritage somehow tied in and Frankie proudly spoke about how his family runs Westys and his family owns the area it is at also. I can not speak enough about Frankie. He was so friendly, so GENUINE, so knowledgeable, Frankie is a true on in 7 billion kind of person. Watching him with other customers and seeing the excitement from the to see him, its just so humbling. Frankie deserves every bit of all the great things he gets in life. Now, the food. It was amazing! Great flavor, great portions, very creative, very much made with love. I had the meat skillet with gyro meat added with pita and handmade tzatziki. My wife had a gyro and fries, DELICIOUS SO DELICIOUS! Frankie being the nice guy he is, offered handmade green chili to have with our breakfast and matching the rest of this review it, was nothing short of FANTASTIC! The coffee was great even! I am so thankful for family cafes like this one, please go support them, please be nice while you are there, please enjoy their craft. WESTYS IS AMAZING!“

“I’m a regular for lunch (can’t beat the many rotating soups) but had no clue they had breakfast. The breakfast sandwich was actually 2 sandwiches and delicious. Very fresh and filling. I sampled the breakfast soup and highly recommend that as well.“

“I drove past the sign on the main road and was quite pleased to see the spot once I turned around. The scone was quite flavorful and soft! Love the coconut cloud machata. The staff was informed me it can onky be made cold. I loved it! I purchased a couple of energy drinks too. I love the concept 100% profit goes to the homeless!“

“This place is so beautiful! We went to see the Christmas decorations. I was blown away. The drinks were amazing! They had options for gluten free people and that’s always a plus for me! Highly recommended!“

“What a wonderful surprise to stumble into! Clean, pleasant and friendly family operated diner. I didn’t know one could still get a $5 burger meal and it was fantastic. Not fine dining but really impressed with the service, food, & atmosphere! Highly recommended for a great affordable meal!“

“The staff was friendly made you feel like family. the food was amazing. Loved the red beans and rice. The drinks.. ooo Chile.. Thank you Nola for the experience. 10/10😁“

“love the Employees!!!! 10/10 Recommended“

“Milk Tea People has a nice atmosphere and a good selection of drinks, but I found the milk tea to be much sweeter than expected. The tea flavor was enjoyable, but the sweetness overpowered it a bit. If you prefer less sweet drinks, I’d recommend asking for reduced sugar. Overall, a decent spot for matcha, but the sweetness level wasn’t quite for me.“

“What a cool coffee shop and lounge. Came early for the AM side of things and Velvet Lasso is a vibe. The menu has a good number of options but not overwhelming. I tried the Cowfolk Combo, which is a small drip coffee with the Hungry, Hungry Cowfolk sandwich. The coffee was from Middle State roasters and their Kenya varietal. It was nice and probably a light roast. The sandwich comes on the softest homemade Kaiser roll stuffed with fried egg, bacon (smoky and sweet), american cheese, tomato jam, aioli, hashbrown. The tomato jam ate a bit sweet and hashbrown not the crispiest but serviceable. The other sandwich we tried was the Hangover Hoagie with perfectly fried chicken cutlet, smoked provolone, chopped olives, house red sauce and caesar salad on a homemade hoagie bun. Hell yes to the HH! Messy in the best way where all the ingredients work together in harmony. The hoagie is crunchy and soft at the same time. What a triumph of flavor. The last thing tried was a poptart. Flaky, crunchy and sweet it was very good.

The seating is varied from a church bench to chairs surrounded by old tvs. The bar area was roped off. We got lucky there wasn't a huge line (or anyone in VL) when we were there. It appears they get busy quickly. The barista and staff were friendly and helpful.

Will definitely come back for other food and possibly drinks in the PM.“

“Really nice staff nice clean place, Food beautiful would recommend“

“Wonderful staff, everyone is so friendly/positive. Drinks are made quickly and well, cool converted garage building. Owner is very kind and personable.“

“Everyone that works here is always so kind and welcoming and their coffee is quality yet affordable. The breakfast sammies are most scrumptious and it’s a very peaceful atmosphere, love seeing people have their pups right outside too 😌“

“I had the California Eggs Benedict, it was wonderful! The Lemon Tart is also excellent. Shhhh! Keep them busy, but watch out, not too busy. This. is a welcome addition to Denver.“

“I door dashed this & The Banana Matcha Latte was sooo good! I HOPE they put this a permanent drink menu and not just a limited seasonal drink! You can taste that the banana flavoring is actually made from bananas and not artificial! UGH i'm going to think about this drink until i get it again! Taste is so fresh and portion is good! The Peach Please Cloud was good. The Toasty Thai Cloud not enough flavor. The More Passion is pretty good too! ALSO THE PINK PACKAGING IS SO CUTE It's so aesthetic and girlypop and i love it. Thank you for such good drinks and good vibes. Definitely ordering again.“

“The chile is bomb delicious . Mexican 🍔 are awesome. I hear their deli sandwiches are also awesome but end up with the chile .Thank You for Great Service & AWESOME FOOD.“

“Loneliness epidemic? Solution: men forming single men talking groups at Kava lounges across America. Why? Because men need other men friends. And where single men gather, there too will single women safely flock to (not at bars, so outdated last century concept, and dangerous). Play board game, sippin' talkin' conversin“

“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 love thump coffee! It’s my go to spot for great coffee, quick breakfast, and morning catch ups with friends. It’s also a great environment to work in!

The baristas are the nicest and they’ve built a great repeat customer base. 😍“

“Great third wave style coffee, cute spot. (I had a latte with four shots.) Quirky specials menu that will bring a smile to your face. Competent and friendly barista. Close to the Sheraton where I was attending a conference. What more could you ask for?“

“We had planned a Christmas Eve brunch for our family but life got in the way and no one was motivated to make brunch when the time came. Enter First Watch to the rescue. It was a short wait but well worth it. Our server Alena was very helpful in getting our diverse order together. Food and drinks were exceptional. I recommend the Chickichanga and morning meditation. Delicious!“

“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!!! ☕️ 🤘❤️“

“I visited today and this place is wonderful I recommend this Cafe . Customer service is amazing. Thank you 🍄“
