    Famous cinnamon roll. (Not my photo, I was too hungry to take any)

    This was the 3rd time I visited this little dinner. I grew up on small town dinners food, and this is a gem for sure. The grilled cheese with ham....OMG and the fries......ooo lordy. The bacon cheese burger, cottage cheese, omelets, and hashbrowns.... man, this place really hit the spot. Lovely staff, quick service, and everyone is so friendly. It's a local favorite for sure!

    Cinnamon roll is great

    I am a lover of greasy spoons and I LOVE this greasy spoon more than most! The fantastic homemade sweet roll was the perfect starter to the lightest biscuits I have ever tasted. The white gravy with smoky sausage was very good, but the biscuits were life changing! The endless cup of coffee have me endlessing running to the rest room the rest of the day, but that's on my not my attentive firecracker of a waitress, who never let the bottom of my mug see the light of day. The prices are ridiculously low, especially for the quality and portions provided. I look forward to getting back and continuing to work my way through their menu.

    This fantastic old school diner has been in the same family for 30 years, but goes back at least 40 years prior. Always a restaurant , the austere diner decor hasn't changed since about 1955. White counters, high ceiling and aquamarine counter stools. A big chalk board with daily specials. Wednesday, announced by the hand written sign , is "BAKED CHICKEN DAY!" But its the enormous breakfasts and giant ""blockbuster burger" that makes this blue collar Globeville business so popular. The burger is hand formed and delicious, unfortunately the boxes announcing pre-cut frozen fires were there for me to see. That's a shame because hand cut fries would take this place over the top! Next time you're zipping along I-70 jump off at Washington and head north a few blocks and seek out this little gem.

    They have a variety of diffrent foods.

    Me and my husband went to try a new place on our way back home. Our waiter and the hole staff were super freindly. Our food came out fast and hot. Only thing we didnt like was that we didnt know we had to ask for cheese on the philly cheese steak idk if the cook forgot but it was diffinitly wierd. But everything was good.

    Half a round house, two egg breakfast and 2 slices of French toast.

    The ultimate score when my boyfriend brought me to this diner a few years ago!! The entire menu is delicious and cheap in price. I eat here about once a week and my boyfriend 3 to 4 times a week. The entire staff is friendly, including the cook who goes around to every table if there's a break in his day to make sure you are satisfied and to help clean tables. Now I tell everyone about it. The French toast is my favorite!! Who've they serve all weekend long and typically until 11 during the week.

    By far the worst breakfast burrito I've ever had. It was all potato. No egg or cheese to be found, not to mention the complete absence of meat. For the price of almost $10, this was very disappointing. I couldn't even finish it. When I called them to complain, they told me that there was nothing they could do.

    It's hard not to like this working class cafe. The food is all great. The service super friendly and it's like going back 30yrs when you step inside. And bonus is the prices feel like they are throwback as well. No paying for fancy decor or additions that jack up the price of the food. Love this place.

    Adorable real diner atmosphere.  Very friendly service.

    You must come and eat here! Make sure to bring an appetite. They do offer smaller portions but you won't want them. This food tastes so good you will want to wear your sweat pants. Their cinnamon roll and butter is to die for. I have never had hash browns like my Grandmother used to make. I even forgot what they tasted like. They nailed it. Adrianna was our waitress. She's so friendly, she not only treated us as family, but everyone that walked in. Adrianna is also multi lingual and on many occasions would speak Spanish to any native Spanish speakers. Adrianna sure knows how to make any one feel welcome wether it is there first time or there tenth time. Everyone is so welcoming, everyone is family here. When you stop in make sure and ask her about her grand baby that's 2 years old and lives in San Antonio. Diners Drive Ins and Dives needs to come here ASAP!

    This is our second time here this week. We love this place. Adrianna was our waitress both times and she is amazing and great to talk to. The cook comes out and talks with you to make sure the food is great. The cinnamon rolls are huge and delicious! Awesome place for breakfast and lunch!

    Them are good eats

    Found this place through a friend. Not widely advertised but very good. The employees have the…read morebusiness like an assembly line. They are nice and professional. The environment was very comfortable but limited. Luckily, we found seating for my family but there is only 6 tables inside but there is outside seating too. Lovely decor and very welcoming. Now the food and drinks. The hot drinks were really good and emptied out quickly haha. My sons cold drink was really strong but he didn't mix beforehand. After he mixed it then he really enjoyed it. The empanadas were tasty but fell apart. Very difficult to eat. I recommend grabbing utensils. The Siopao was good and the flavor were suttle. Maybe a dipping sauce would pair well. I couldn't comment on the croissant, it was gone by the time I looked up. The ube muffin was absolutely delicious. Highly recommend it. Overall, this place is a must go. It gets super busy but it's well worth the wait. The parking is on the street and it fills up.

We tried two of their seasonal drinks, and both were delicious! They were unique, well-made, and not overly sweet. You can definitely tell they put thought into their specialty drinks. The only reason I'm giving 4 stars instead of 5 is because I wish they offered more desserts and pastries to pair with the coffee. Adding a few more sweet options would make the experience even better. Overall, I'd definitely come back for the drinks and the relaxing atmosphere.

    Fantastic food and drinks with a fun, funky, local vibe. They have a top notch pastry selection…read morethat sells out quickly, so be sure to go early. They also have a great breakfast all day menu and some solid lunch options too. When I went they had an absolutely bomb Birria grilled cheese, but I unfortunately don't think it's a regular item. Regular item wise, their daily veggie or meat quiche is always great. They also have a rotating tap of new espresso options which is cool.

    3-star might justify based on everything I experienced at this coffee shop today…read more Its inconspicuous existence (especially the secondary door that is facing Larimer) is quite intriguing. Utilizing the existing brick walls, the interior layout is creative with all sorts of art. Their location is their luckiest part as it consistently draws steady footprints. It thus gets packed in a few seconds. It offers (firstly) coffee based drinks. It does have a kitchen where they make more than just pastries and the like. It's definitely more than a simple coffee shop for sure. Service, however, was quite basic. The lady upfront smiled but hesitantly. She wasn't rude but I simply didn't feel welcome. Hence describing their current customer service system or skills as "good" might fuel their egos (wow, did I really say that?? LOL!!) My quad latte was decent/good. I could have done less espresso shots as it sure was strong or too strong (this wasn't their fault; it was mine.) Yes, in conclusion, the shop can and should refine its service (upping it one more level might draw solid raves from the people). Well. I'm not that distraught by any means so in due time, I might utilize them in the future.

    Atmosphere: This is a great spot to spend some time during…read morethe day. It's a wonderful place to catch up with friends or to get some work done, as long as you aren't on phone calls. The setup is comfortable, and even when it's busy like when we visited between 10 AM and 12 PM on a weekend. It's still a place you want to hang out in. Service: The customer service here is always great. The staff really knows their stuff! My husband has asked technical questions about coffee notes, and I've asked about how they froth their milk, and they are always friendly and open to answering everything. When we did the coffee flight, someone brought it over and explained each selection in detail, which made the experience even better. The Coffee & Drinks My husband and mother in law are the real coffee snobs, and this is their favorite. They love that the beans are never burnt, so you can actually taste the fruit and cherry notes. - The Cappuccino Test: One of my husband's big indicators for a good spot is if they serve a cappuccino in a traditional small container rather than a giant grande cup of milk. This place passes the test! He loves chatting with them about the bean origins and their recommendations. - For the Coffee Purists: He swears by the Nitro Cold Brew and Cappuccino. We buy bags of beans here regularly. Make sure to get a stamp card because your 11th bag is free! - For the Latte Lovers: I usually get the Chai Latte. I always choose spicy over sweet. They add a bit of cayenne pepper which gives it a great kick to wake you up! - The Reserve Flight: We recently tried the $30 Panama Geisha set. Being Panamanian, it was awesome to try the Interstellar, Enigma, and Symmetry. They give you cards explaining the notes, and we could really taste the plum in the Symmetry! They even provide water to cleanse your palate between sips. The Food: Don't skip the pastries! They are very tasty, but they go fast because they're so good. If you see something you like in the case, ask for it! Overall Experience: My husband and I love this spot. Whether you are new to the coffee scene alike me or need recommendations on good cof you're a total coffee expert, they will take care of you. It was a fun, educational experience to do the tasting flight, and the atmosphere makes it a place I always look forward to visiting.
