Grilled cheese

The cheese pull gets five stars alone. But we also ordered pizza and a pita and it was all sooo good. I'm not knocking a star off for this, because it's a non profit, but damn the vibe is so pretentious. IDK who they were but a table full of people that are obviously associated with the place were next to us and the vibe given to our table by them was so insanely "we're better than you, how dare you look our way" it was insane. Anyway, the food is incredible and the non profit mission is too.

Melted Turkey and Swiss

I had a delicious melted turkey and Swiss sandwich picked up from Cafe 180 today! The roasted tomatoes were an especially good touch. It took a while to revive my order, but everyone dining and working there was really friendly. I'll definitely be back.

This is the easiest review I've ever done. Cafe 180 donates its profits to charity. Everyone who walks in can get a delicious meal. Either make a donation or work some and the meal is yours. It is real food, too! One gentleman was pushing a broom for his meal and another was playing guitar and singing. In the age of corporate greed , I love this concept.

Wow, what a fantastic non-profit concept! If you are on hard times and need a good meal, you pay what you can. If you can't afford to pay at all, volunteer as your payment! And if you can afford it, pay what you feel is fair or pay it forward! :) The service is very friendly and the concept is well explained by the counter person. They convey their appreciation for you and it is sincere. The food is quite good with options for everyone. I opted for the club, kinda my go-to sandwich. Hearty, fresh and tasty! So if you want a good meal that does good for the community, please stop in and enjoy!

Amazing pizza and great service! Pay what you can (all donations go to help feed the less fortunate) and eat great food...can't beat that.

The food and drinks were really good! I highly recommend giving them a try. Can't wait to go back.read more

I don't often choose Chop Shop over other restaurants in the area due to the high cost while being…read morea quick service atmosphere, but today it was the easiest option. I've had it before and enjoyed it, but the last couple times the food has been cold despite being ready within 7 minutes. Today, I was at Chop Shop the minute my order was ready, as I got a notification on my phone. I got the chicken with polenta and my husband had the chicken tenders. We got freezer burnt chicken that was wet and soggy, breading falling off, and impossible to chew like cardboard. Not to mention the polenta and Mac and cheese were cold. I understand not every experience can be perfect, however to pay a tip, restaurant service fee (that apparently doesn't go to staff because it's a separate charge), and have to pay for utensils at a quick serve restaurant just to receive small portions, cold food, and past quality ingredients is not acceptable. I would sooner go to a fast food restaurant.

I found this place specifically thru Yelp because it was featured on the "Top 100 Sandwiches" list,…read moreso I stopped by with a few friends during my visit to Denver. I must say... it deserves it's recognition. The Banh Mi here is excellent! I got to try the LEMONGRASS GRILLED PORK. The pork is well marinated with a slightly sweet taste. There is a good amount of meat inside. It typically comes with cilantro & jalapeños inside which you can always opt out. But I feel like the sauces & veggies inside paired so well together. The bread is super crunchy that you will be in a bread crumb mess afterwards. But, it's all worth it because it tastes great. My friends all loved it here. For a traditional Banh Mi experience, I would totally recommend this spot. Ordering is super easy. There is a machine in which you can order & pay through there or go straight up to the counter. The food will be ready fairly quick so you can be in & out within a few minutes. And there is a parking out front. So, there is no reason not to try this place.

Was looking for a light lunch option while I was touring nearby DU, and found this place based on…read moresome recommendations. So glad I came, this place is fantastic. Service was great, food came fast, but most importantly, the banh mi was hella delicious. I wish it had a few more jalapeño, but I bet it's a local preference thing, and I'm sure if I asked, they would have added. Also, I'm kind of a pig when I am away from home (hence my search for something light), and I'm always concerned a sandwich doesn't fill me up, but I am stuffed. Way more satisfying than a Subway sandwich, although comparing the two is somewhat insulting to this banh mi. I added the combo that provides an egg roll and iced coffee (I was going to buy a coffee for $5 anyways, the combo is $4. No brainer). Coffee is also delicious, and much larger than I thought it would be. TL/DR - Highly recommend this place. I will come again next time I'm in the area. PS - Tables are clean, restrooms are clean. Bonus.

The service at the register was great; they were so helpful. I ordered the lamb kabobs. It came with 2 skewers, hummus, tzatziki, grilled lemon, a flat bread, pickles, a tomato and cucumber salad, and cabbage. It was plenty of food and it was so delicious. I would highly recommend getting this entree. For dessert, I got the snickerdoodle which had a nice taste but it's not the texture I like for that type of cookie. It was quite a thick cookie. As we were leaving, I got a baguette to go. I enjoyed eating it for a couple of days but there's something about it that's a little different though I can't quite put my finger on it.

The flourless chocolate cookie was absolutely delicious, and the portions were surprisingly generous. The curry potato salad was a fun twist on a classic, adding just enough flavor to make it unique without overpowering the dish. The café itself has a cozy, charming atmosphere that makes it a great spot to relax and enjoy a meal. Overall, I had a wonderful experience and will definitely be returning to try more of the menu.
