    Great cafe with great prices. Conveniently located on the ground floor of 999 Denver Place. The food here is pretty tasty, and you can pickup a wide variety of breakfast and lunch items ranging from; burritos, salads, sandwiches, bagels, and burgers. If your in the area and fancy a quick bite to eat on your lunch break, check this place out.

    Nothing special (coffee is okay, breakfast sandwiches are basic but made well) but the prices are really reasonable.

    I'd call Leven Deli Co. a modern deli with both newer and traditional items. What's typical is…read morethat it is busy and lively inside. There's also ample outdoor seating, depending on the weather. The menu has many delectable items making it hard to choose, in a good way. In fact, if I lived in Denver, I'd go back again and again to try everything. The "newer" items include Thai curry lentil soup (which was excellent). grilled kabobs, marinated artichokes, esquites, picked cauliflower (excellent and very tart), dolmas (good, standard dolma), a braised pork sandwich, pimento grilled cheese, and many other items from which to choose. The more traditional items are the classic pastrami, reuben, turkey club, and more, plus a meat / deli counter, giving Leven solid delicatessen cred. The french curry potato salad was excellent. The BLT was one of the best ever had according to my friend. The focaccia & mozzarella was amazing as well. For dessert and I admit an impulse buy at the register, the chocolate, tahini, malted milk brownie was thick, decadent, unique and even better the next day. Great location near the Denver Art Museum, making it a great stop after or before perusing the museum, but probably after because you'll be hungry - you gotta eat something. 5/5, 8.5/10.

    I'm a sucker for a good sandwich, and Eleven Deli is top notch. We stopped in around noon on a…read moreSunday and it was packed, with a line to order. You order at the counter, grab a number, and then find a table. Seating was filling up quickly, but we managed to snag one. I went with the Focaccia & Mozzarella, and wow. The house-made focaccia might be some of the best I've ever had, soft, fresh, and with that perfect bounce you want from focaccia. It's filled with fresh mozzarella and spinach pesto, and I added chicken for extra protein. The sandwich is huge, easily big enough to split with someone. The sandwich itself is on the pricier side ($17 + $6 for chicken), but the quality is there. You can also add prosciutto for less, which I'd definitely consider next time. The house pickles on the side were gas. We also grabbed a half loaf of sourdough for around $6, which I thought was a great option. My fiancée and I sometimes struggle to finish a full loaf, so being able to buy half was perfect. I had some toasted with breakfast the next morning, and the sourdough was excellent too. They also have a great-looking pastry selection, and I'm already looking forward to coming back to work my way through the other sandwiches, both grilled and cold. If you love sandwiches, Leven Deli is worth the stop.

    This place reminded me of my childhood in the best possible way. Growing up in a predominantly…read moreItalian town in NJ, (a few miles from NYC), I had lots of wonderful Italian food. Lou's was a cute & cozy deli that made us the most amazing Italian style sandwiches. They also had home made pastas, speciality grocery items & catering. There was limited indoor seating with one table for six, some counter seating & an outdoor patio. We parked on the street. We ordered the Chicken Parm & the Fried Prosciutto BLT Sandwiches online & ate there. Our order was ready right on time & the staff were friendly & fast. The Chicken Parm was delicious - a nicely seasoned chicken cutlet with fresh mozzarella & a very flavorful marinara sauce. My favorite was the Fried Prosciutto BLT, it was fantastic. The prosciutto was crispy & was instead of bacon. In addition, there was shredded lettuce, tomato & a great tasting garlic aioli on a toasted Ciabatta Roll. I loved this place - I can't wait to go back!

    I can't believe I've been sleeping on Lou's. My house contractor actually told me about it while we…read morewere picking tile the other day. Raved about it. I ordered for pick up but I loved the ambiance inside! The food slaps. I got the chicken cutlet. No peppers, pesto I. The side, add herb aioli (some may call this edit a crime)- it was absolutely fucking fire. The price was right too. I got a pic of the over stacked sammmmmy, the bread was so fresh and the ingredients so fresh. Also had the pastries. I will be back. I came back to say 15 out of 10 rainbow cake!!!!

    After finishing a two-hour walking tour, I was craving a great sandwich. After reading several…read morereviews, I decided to give this place a try--and I'm so glad I did. From the moment I walked in, I was warmly greeted. The cashier was especially thoughtful and took the time to help me decide what to order for lunch. I ultimately chose the bánh mì, and it was an excellent choice. The sandwich was packed with flavor and served on a lightly toasted roll. It was easily one of the best sandwiches I've had in a long time. Beyond the food, everyone I interacted with was genuinely friendly and welcoming, making the experience even more enjoyable. This is definitely a place I would return to the next time I'm in Denver!

    I've been to multiple locations before, including this one, and it was all very good every time. It…read morewas good this time too. So why only three stars? Well, before 6:00 at night, they had run out of the rustic loaf bread that both of our sandwiches (the Ridgeline and the Fourteener) were supposed to come on. In fact, due to a lunch rush, they had run out of the rolls several hours earlier. I guess they don't make more bread if they run out...maybe they don't make their own bread at all, but it was disappointing for a sandwich shop to run out of bread. Shouldn't that be a staple for a sandwich shop? We ended up having to just go with regular bread. I had wheat, while my daughter had sourdough. Again, don't get me wrong...both sandwiches were fine, but paying $14 for a sandwich on two slices of bread just doesn't seem worth it to me. Adding in chips and drinks (from a fountain machine where the Coke Zero exploded on you, and the Diet Coke seemed flat) for $40 wasn't a great deal. Guy at the counter was very apologetic for them running out of the rustic loaves, for what it was worth...not $40, that's for sure.
