    We all have our donut opinions. I will say, these are not my favorite but they are a good option for a donut on the lighter, airy side. We tried the yeast style and then I went back for a cake style because I wasn't quite satisfied. I actually liked the flavor of the cake style donut...it packed more of a punch. We decided that the yeast style should be judged individually by flavor because some hit right and others flopped. Some flavors lacked flavor and the donut itself is so light, it needs the substance of the topping to make it special. The cinnamon crunch and coconut were our favorites. Strawberry and peanut butter cup were underwhelming somehow. And I liked the cake style (not pictured) best. I guess we would choose City Donuts when we wanted a light donut that you could eat many of, vs some of the other specialty donuts that one is plenty because they are dense or topping heavy. We are not local to the area so location didn't mean anything to us when we googled it. Lacking ambiance and not the prettiest area but a good grab and go option.

    Came on an early Monday morning to a full display rack. I was pretty disappointed to find out that the blueberry cake donut is not available on Mondays. For buying so early in the day (around 7am), I expected them to taste more fresh. It almost seemed like they were from the previous day. The frosted donuts were overly sweet, and the cake donut was very dry. The shop was very empty when went. Quite disappointed overall.

    Stopped by City Donuts while visiting Colorado. We went later in the morning so the donut choices were a little picked over but they still had a lot options overall. The options were simple and classic, nothing wild. I ended up getting a plain ole sprinkled donut. It tasted pretty fresh. We decided to dine in (to avoid getting crumbs and mess in our rental car) and it was a bit of a mess. There were more napkins on the floor than the napkin holder. The floor was sticky, had liquid spills and food/crumbs all over. They have 4 or so booths to sit at, they were all messy. I noticed that they only had one person out working the floor (serving donuts) and I understand she could not control/do everything but the dirtiness of the shop made me a little uncomfortable. The woman working there seemed busy behind the corner, wasn't very friendly BUT if I was the only one working and had to do everything, I'd be a little stressed and overwhelmed myself so I get it! The bathroom was also "out of order". So my tip would be, get your donut and go! They have a few designated parking spots in a little lot from what I could see.

    Better than VooDoo, a fraction of the price. No disrespect to the competition, but it's donuts, not fashion.

    My family and I love this donut shop. We come to Denver for a vacation about one time a year and make a point to come here.

    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.

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.

It really gave me RVA (Richmond, VA circa early 2000s) nostalgia vibes like for places I worked in around Broadway during college! Wow. Love everything about this place. I'd been going to a lot of coffee shops lately where the style is all like new stuff and new style (which I LOVE) but the style of Tessa Delicatessen was so unexpectedly refreshing. I didn't realize that this part of Colfax was Park Hill! I saw a lot of other interesting places nearby. Can't wait to go back and wander! Not sure if it was the owner that greeted me at the register but she was very friendly and warm. I love the self serve coffee and water and you get to pick a unique mug to drink from. Really strong neighborhood vibe and I think she said it had been open since 2017. So cool! I'm obsessed with the spaciousness and space! My breakfast sandwich did explode all over my hand - so be careful! The egg is soft inside! I got coffee, cheesy hash and the breakfast sandwich. $25 for everything including tip. I think that's a great deal for a lovely morning vibe and breakfast in 2026!
