My favorite breakfast place! I drive across town just to go here. Their Benedict's are absolutely my favorite thing, they have all these different cream sauces. So amazing. Their tea selection is also wonderful and from a local business. The outside patio is beautiful and the service is always great! Couldn't be happier here!! read more

Related to customer service - if I could give zero stars, I would. We asked for an outdoor table, having only seen the tables on the front patio - which are widely spaced. We were then walked down the side of the restaurant and offered an outdoor table there where you are inches from other patrons. Some are comfortable with this and that is ok, we are not. We kindly said that we were in no rush and would be happy to wait for a table in the front of the patio where we felt safer related to Covid. The hostess seemed confused and was not understanding and rude. We sat on a bench out front and could overhear her telling a male coworker what had happened. In a purposefully loud voice he basically started making fun of us and was commenting on hadn't we heard about the mask mandates changing and was speaking poorly of the vaccine. We felt so disrespected and uncomfortable that we left. Long story short, everyone is trying to find their way through this pandemic. You don't know who people are, about their health and the health of their loved ones. Be kind. Be accommodating as you are able especially when in CUSTOMER SERVICE. We were kind, patient, in no rush and just wanted to wait for a socially distanced, outdoor table, which they provide, and were made to feel poorly and judged for that. Disgraceful and disgusting treatment of other members of your community. read more

Came into cozy cottage today and got their chilaquiles style breakfast with ghost pepper jack cheese. They gladly subbed the chorizo, which I think is foul, for some yummy onions and peppers. It was deceivingly tiny because what looked like a few bites of food was spicy as hell and stuffed me ! I enjoyed every bite. Just surprised to see them charge us 7 dollars for a small cup of coffee and a few ounces of apple juice. I'm wondering why the apple juice and coffee were exorbitantly priced with a average generic brand quality and taste. I'll be back for their early beard breakfast and other good stuff but I will skip on the juice and coffee priced higher than their weight in gold. Great staff and if you come on a weekday you won't wait and hour + like on the weekend. read more

We went to the Cozy Cottage for brunch on a Sunday. We had a large group of 7, and I called ahead and they were very friendly and willing to accommodate our large group. I think I was talking with the manager when I called, super friendly guy and he made of point of saying hi and that he remembered me from our phone call when I went in to put our name on the list. I went to put our name in and they quoted a 30-40 min wait time but it only took about 20 min surprisingly. Our waitress was great, she memorized our entire order (including customization's) for all 7 of us, talk about impressive! She was speedy, and was able to pay attention to our large group while simultaneously helping a lot of other tables. I have always loved coming here because the food is always consistently delicious, and a reasonable price. I will say I gave it 4 stars rather than 5 because it seems like the portions have gotten a lot smaller. Still definitely worth the money, and they are so speedy that it is 100% worth it. read more

The hostess and food runners were amazingly nice. And my food was decent. What made the experience not great was the waitress and her attitude, and the fact that we got our own ketchup, hot sauce, silverware you name it and she never checked back on us. Worst part they weren't even busy yet. We had high hopes based on the reviews and word of mouth. But this is one I would order take out from or skip read more

This is a great homey spot to catch breakfast. The patio is just the best in the summer, and the service has always been great. I've never been in the weekend, but weekdays we've never had much of a wait. read more

The Cesar Chavez omelet was very light and full of flavor! I am a huge fan of the green chili sauce that includes huge chunks of pork. The potatoes could've been seasoned a little more. The side of pancakes were absolutely delightful! Perfect non greasy meal right before a flight. read more

The food and family that run this place is great!! Hidden gem where there isn't usually a wait. This elevated breakfast food is great and you can bring your own booze!!! The patio is fantastic when the weather is cooperating. For sure a local hot spot that non-natives don't know about!! read more

Great first experience! Taylor our server was great from start to finish, quick, courteous and knowing the menu made everything go well. The food is fresh and tasty. The cappuccino was done right, every thing was the was I just wanted to be on Sunday brunch. I would definitely come back and try many other delicious items on the menu. read more

Cozy Cottage - Cappuccino - American Near Me - Denver, Colorado

Southern comfort as fuck. My friends and I left feeling FAT. Heavy, heavy dishes that are pretty frieken delicious. Lots of cheese and cream. My bluebird eggs benny was on point. Also the mac and cheese we shared as a table was like beer battered sex. Portions were large and the menu extensive. Our server, Mary, was a true southern sweetheart. We liked her a lot ;) Beautiful outdoor seating area with lots of pretty flowers and shrubs. We'll be back with our parentals. Total mom and pop place. read more

Do not order takeout. Waited 15 minutes past the time they told me for pickup order. During that time the woman working behind the counter rudely asked me why I was waiting. Eventually they come to find my food had been ready all along, they just didn't check the orders waiting for pickup? So I waited longer than I needed to, was treated rudely for said waiting and then got to enjoy cold food. read more

Best gluten free pancakes!!! The coffee not so great, but the food is soooo good. I love the gluten free pancakes and the breakfast burrito

Really friendly staff, fast service, great tasting food! Loved my latte made by Taylor! Definitely will come again! read more

I came down to Tennyson after a late sleep. Luckily they serve great breakfast. Unfortunately they don't seRve alcohol. I was looking for a mimosa. Mario was an excellent server and was attentive to our table. So many more options I want to try, so I'll definitely be back. read more

Wow what a spot! Stopped by here for a quick breakfast after a long night at a wedding and an early morning to get my friend off to the airport. The food was phenomenal. The location, peacefully tucked between the newer tall buildings. This was the most zen breakfast I'd had in a long time. read more

Gillian was the best! Great food and nice casual outdoor eating! Will come back again

Food was fantastic. I got the breakfast burrito -- huge portion, greasy, delicious... Don't expect anything fancy or a beautiful presentation. Do expect great, solid breakfast food with that Co. green chili goodness. Our waitress was the sweetest thing ever. So friendly and worked really hard to get our food out quick. Unfortunately, they were too understaffed for the Sunday rush. I felt like our food took forever and then our bills did too. Would give it 5 stars if it wasn't for the delays and scatteredness of the place. read more

Great place for breakfast with American classics and Tex Mex. Cute location but very busy on the weekend. Worth the wait.

Ridiculous flavor and beautiful setting. We went on two different days for breakfast with friends. Upon entering a pretty courtyard, you're greeted with scents from their herb garden growing along the front fence, long rows of hanging ivy along the side fence, and gorgeous flowers and plants placed all over the outdoor area. Friendly, quick service, nice people-watching spot, plenty of seating options outdoors (or you can sit inside) and creative menu. Everything is fresh and made to order. The Berkley Pork Eggs Benedict was the most unique, flavorful breakfast I've had. The grilled Parmesan muffins were out of this world. Large, orange-yoke eggs were tasty and cooked perfectly. The pulled pork and avocado made this dish hearty and packed with even more flavor. And then . . . the most amazing garlic rosemary cream sauce tops it off. This is their signature sauce, and I can see why--it's insanely delicious. The Breakfast Burrito was enough for two people to share--eggs, potato, cheddar, black beans and your choice of chorizo sausage (our choice) or pulled pork carnitas and finished with their house-made green chili, so good! The Huevos Escondidos had so much flavor and everything was fresh, perfectly cooked, covered with ranchero salsa and topped with avocado pico. And then . . . the pancake of the day: Lemon Ricotta. Oh my, as if everything wasn't already so incredibly delicious, this pancake blew our minds. The pancake itself is so light and fluffy, not too thick or too thin, and the lemon ricotta is pure bliss. Absolutely the best pancake ever. Cool thing to note: you can BYOB; they only ask that you buy the juice from them if you're making mimosas, etc. read more

Stopped for a brunch bite after arriving in to town. It's with in a moderate walking distance to where we are staying and the food was great, and reasonably priced. Very tasty. Will definitely come back next time I am in town read more

Literally just had brunch there as an out of towner and I know for a fact my waitress (Taylor H.) took pictures of my credit card because I watched her do it unbeknownst to her. She walked up to a counter (where there wasn't a register), opened the ticket booklet with my credit card in it then I watched her look around, take out her phone, hold it over my credit card, snap a picture, then flipped my credit card over and took a picture of the back of it. She then put her phone back in her pocket and walked over to the register then walked back to me with my receipt and proceeded to ask me where I was from (assuming she wanted to figure out my zip code). I reported this incident to the manager and hopefully he will handle it with her but I highly recommend to stay away from this place unless you want your identity stolen!!!! read more

We had horrible customer service, they forgot several parts of our order, and the food tasted like continental breakfast when we got it. Would not recommend. read more

This place is super cute. It really is a cozy cottage. We had a large party of 9 so we had a little longer of a wait for Sunday brunch but they were able to accommodate all of us on the outside patio. The server was so so nice and friendly. He kept our coffee mugs filled. With all the food we ordered we managed to fit all of our plates. Their loose leaf teas are a nice addition. Great classic breakfast combos as well as some twists to classics. read more

My "20 minute " wait turned into 45 and counting, as I stood outside staring at at least 7 empty tables. When a large group of 8,that had most definitely come in after I did, was seated ahead of me , I realized that if I ever DID get one of those empty tables, I'd probably wait at least another 45 minutes for food that is over priced, even for Tennyson Street. I cut my losses and went to fabulous Parisi up the street, which is always reliable. read more

The food is very bland. This last time we went our food was undercooked. The servers are nice and the atmosphere is ok, but definitely not worth it. read more

Service, food, and atmosphere were all really good. My only issue is how expensive it is - look closely at the prices before you order. The omelette with the side of pancakes and a drip coffee was almost $20! Yikes. Service staff was incredibly sweet though, so I guess you get what you pay for. read more

When I went here, the atmosphere was so great! They were very friendly and quick to seat me and my friends. The service was quick and the food was tasty and reasonably priced. Their chilaquiles weren't up to par but their biscuits and gravy were! read more

1st visit to The Cozy Cottage was on a Sunday morning after a very long stressful weekend. The atmosphere was, cozy, comfortable warm and inviting. We were seated immediately and greeted promptly by our server Taylor. She was informative, energetic and attentive without being aggressive. My wife ordered Chili Rellenos smothered in pork green chili with a side of potatoes, 2 eggs over medium. I ordered the Cozy breakfast, eggs over medium, bacon, potatoes and French toast. It was simple, elegant, and perfectly adequate! The Cozy Cottage is our new favorite breakfast restaurant and we highly recommend it! read more

Cozy Cottage does indeed look like a cottage, a cottage home anyhow, and it is quite cozy so right off the bat this is an aptly named business. It also felt like I was entering a friend's home for brunch because I had to walk through a cute little yard and then the door was opened for us by a man waiting on the inside. Said man promptly led us to a comfy booth in the back for our four-top dining group and left us to look over the menu. As an aside - there's not much I like more than not waiting for breakfast so when I get seated right away I'm already in a much happier mood. Cozy Cottage serves a wide assortment of breakfast goodies from crepes to biscuits and gravy to omlets and everything in between. For my breakfast I chose a pretty basic option of eggs, bacon and then I substituted grits for my potatoes (they allow you to always do this with no charge which is nice) and a side of biscuits and gravy. The biscuits were pretty disappointing for a biscuits and gravy dish. They were kind of flat and small and not beautiful, fluffy softness smothered in sausage-y goodness so I probably wouldn't order them again, but everything else was good and Nick's specialty pancakes (pumpkin spice) were most excellent. Another note - our server was excellent. She brought out all of our plates and as she was handing mine over noticed without me saying anything that something on my plate was wrong. She apologized immediately, took it away and brought me the correct order in just a couple of minutes. I know oftentimes people are wary of servers that don't write down orders and instead memorize things, but she did write it down and the fact that she remembered right away was awesome. All in all, the big menu, decent prices, little-to-no wait, and friendly folks are enough to bring me back here again for my morning meal. read more

I know you can't see me right now, but if you could you would see that I have sad eyes. Sunday brunch is one of my favorite things, but I work on Sunday. Yesterday was first one off in a long time, so my Dad drove up to join me. Word on the street was that there was someone new(ish) on the block, so we headed over to Cozy Cottage. Too bad it was so chilly because the patio is really a draw at this spot! When we went inside I was a bit surprised to see that there was no wait at 9am Sunday.....but I guess we did get the last table, which happened to be pretty much in the waiting area, so I'm glad no one was waiting or it would have been awkward and uncomfortable. Now, one thing that seemed a bit off to me is the guy to who hollered over for us to take a seat, I thought he was some random dude, being that he was wearing a t-shirt, work out shorts and grubby slippers! I don't promote wearing slippers in public over the age of 2 especially to work! I had the eggs bene and my Dad had the country breakfast, we both had OJ. My breakfast was just ok, it certainly wasn't bad, just not worth going into. My Dad got peas with his breakfast, which I just thought was weird, but maybe that's typical of a country breakfast - I wouldn't really know. The service was ok except slipper guy brought out our food which is sort of grody. I was pretty sad that I spent my one Sunday off at Cozy Cottage! I love this location but the restaurants that seem to go in are always slightly off, burn some sage or something read more

Another great AMAZING find in the South Denver area. After hearing about the Cozy Cottage from a close friend, I decided to go and check out what all of the hype was about myself! To describe the Cozy Cottage just doesn't do it justice. It is a very tiny one-roomed restaurant right off of Downing Street south of Evans - and by tiny, I mean six tables and maybe 15-20 chairs at best. The owner of the restaurant, this tiny and very charming older lady and her son man the place by themselves. She takes pride in all of her own creations and recipes, and the food is by far one of the best breakfast places I've ever been too! The blue cheese omelet is to die for, and the carrot cake pancakes are another great option! This Denver gem is a Denver MUST! read more

Cozy Cottage may have been voted best breakfast, but I'm really not sure why. The service was good, but the food itself was no better than what I might get at a Denny's. When we walked in, my first thought was, "This place feels like something I would have visited as a child with my grandparents, complete with 20+ year old decor." Sitting down was really no better. The menus were in these ancient, yellowed and cracked plastic covers that were seriously gross. I understand that the covers make it easy to wipe the menus clean so they can be reused, but at some point the bleach rag just isn't going to cut it. Not to mention the state of them made me have serious doubts about the cleanliness of the kitchen. I ordered the Florentine Benedict (bacon, swiss, and spinach), but it was pretty meh. The hollandaise tasted like something out of a box, the bacon was paper thin, and the potatoes on the side were fully cooked, but flavorless. Definitely not worth the nine bucks. My fiance's breakfast (the Country Breakfast) was similarly unimpressive and had an inexplicable side of peas. To top it all off, there was no alcohol. No, I don't need to drink every morning, but I love a good Bloody Mary with my breakfast when I make the effort to go out and eat. And, who knows? Maybe if I had a little booze in me, I would have been a little less critical of the food. read more

Most people seem to feel that Cozy Cottage is extraordinary, and a diamond in the rough. I'd argue it's far more average than others think, but it's definitely worth going to, and definitely isn't a place I'll only stop at once. Here's the story: On a whim the ladyfriend and I went to the Cozy Cottage after getting up incredibly early (for a Saturday) to head down to what could be called a "garage sale" for a place that deals exclusively in the sale of "recreational equipment." I chose Cozy Cottage based solely on the strength of the Yelp reviews. After taking the drive over, we parked outside and loved that they had some outdoor seating, which is always great for breakfast. As it was full, though, we stepped inside. Friends, when you read the other reviews that tell you they've only got 6 tables, nobody's lying. They really have only 6 tables. If my memory serves, they can sit about 18 people inside at a time. And it was definitely full for a random saturday mid-morning (11a maybe?) The menu selection is pretty standard for Denver, with a few mexican style treats, plus the usual pancakes, french toast, eggs, biscuits and gravy, etc. They've also got a few different monthly specials that run, that at least for October appeared to be paired with the month they were in (Pumpkin, etc.) Food was good, not great, but good. Portions were large, as you'd expect, and the flavors were present as they should be in all breakfast foods, but nothing was overpowering or over-seasoned or even under seasoned. It was exactly the kind of breakfast you'd be looking for if you want some breakfast food that has no surprises, no tricks up its sleeve, won't try too hard to impress you, but certainly won't let you down either. As I said before, I found it far more average than most others seem to, but it's cute, tasty, and prices are pretty standard. It's nothing exceptional, but I have a feeling this place will never let you down either. read more

The food was good. The drinks not so much. The owner (or who I think was the owner) was so cute and nice. There are 6 tables but the wait was short. I got the huevos rancheros which were nothing like huevos rancheros are supposed to be but they were tasty. I asked if they had fresh squeezed orange juice and the lady said "shoot no! I gave that up a long time ago." I wish she hadn't. My husband hated the coffee. However, we all agreed we'll go back for pancakes. They had smores pancakes for a special and I almost got them but I needed something savory. Next time I say next time!! read more

Today was my first time at Cozy Cottage and it's cozy because of the close quarters. I had seven people in my group, so our wait was a tad long since they don't have the space for large groups. However, the co-owner Jeanette, is marvelous. She is a down home cook and very accommodating. I ordered the Eggs Benedict and it was very, very good. Everybody in my group thoroughly enjoyed their selections. I did have coffee and was not impressed with it; however, I liked that I had choices of flavored creamer on the table. That's a unique treat compared to most other breakfast places. I will go to the Cozy Cottage again, but with a small group. I wouldn't recommend more than 3-4 people. There are two picnic tables outside that can seat 6-8, but only if the weather is nice. I hope that in the near future the Cozy Cottage expands their space. It would do them a world of good to seat more patrons because the food is totally worth it. read more

This place is awesome! On a great non rainy/snowy day they have tables outside! Super cute atmosphere! And inside on a snowy day they have it COZY and warm for you to take off that big coat and recharge for the day! Best breakfast in Colorado! I'm a Floridian so I got my plain grits and my favorite: banana nut pancakes! The people that work here are soooo friendly and it's like you already know them! YOu gotta visit this place! read more

I thought this place could be a very good breakfast place, but I was disappointed. Ambiance is very good, and staff is friendly. However, the service can be slow and the food is over priced for sure. I ordered pancake with fresh strawberry with $1 extra, and got very small amount of paper thin slices (about 10 or so). I mean come on. That probably was maybe 2 strawberries at the most for a dollar extra? Give me a break. It's really not just about money. I want to at least taste strawberry. Overall this is an ok place, but this neighborhood has so many other choices for breakfast and lunch. read more

This review is for the new location at Tennyson street. I've been to CC twice now, once for a Winejester Valentine's day wine tasting and for Sunday breakfast. This location is great for a wine tasting, it is quite "cozy" with booths to sit in,without all the tables in the middle there is lots of space. They served great appetizer foods. Sunday breakfast was pretty good, my man and I both enjoyed it as we sat the bar. I think we'll definitely come back when it's patio weather and we can take our dog with us. They said well-behaved dogs are definitely allowed! I was surprised to see that they served OJ from a plastic jug. They make their chocolate milk with Herseys syrup and it was delicious. My man ordered the fruit and nut pancakes after he saw someone else's large order of cakes. Two big, whole grain pancakes with fresh strawberries, blueberries and nuts. You could tell they put bananas in the mix too which was really delicious. I order the basic breakfast with OM eggs (came out OE but still good) breakfast potatoes, bacon and whole wheat toast. Gotta say the toast was great, potatoes were tasty and bacon was crisp and light, not too greasy. The side that surprised me were the peas, bright green and surprisingly really good. They sell great looking jellies and honey, which I would have loved to see served with the breakfast instead of the Smuckers packets. I'm not complaining because the prices were great, service was super nice and the food came quick but those jellies looked yummy! read more

(This review is for the Tennyson location ... ) I have been in here twice in the last month or so. Once for a Sunday breakfast, and another for a Monday lunch. I thought the food was a-ok. Nothing horrible in my opinion. I've had better food in general, but for what this place is - I was pleased with the taste of my food. On the other hand -- why oh why does it seem like this cute house with such a great patio... is cursed?! I know there has been at least 3 different names on this restaurant since I bought my house in the neighborhood 3 years ago. Each time, they've had a problem with service, etc. And here I am to write a review on that exact subject. My first visit we were seated promptly, but everything after that was quite slow. Our food took forever to come out, and yet -- the joint wasn't even half full. Took a long time for the check, etc... The 2nd visit, I came with my sister and her kids on a Monday afternoon. It was about half full, so I didn't expect to wait 15 minutes for them to seat us. While waiting to be seated, I see one waitstaff going back and fourth and doing nothing but apologizing and he'll have a seat ready for us soon. I could tell there were plenty of clean, fresh tables, so I don't understand what took to 'get ready'. What was annoying was a nearby store owner (they very clearly knew each other) had come in after us and proceeded to want some of the pastries behind the front counter. The guy that was suppose to be helping get our table ready -- instead goes to help the patron and talk chit chat for a few minutes. Really??! I also don't understand how... on a holiday when you are open and your restaurant is getting fairly busy for lunch... why you only have one waitress working? She seemed to be doing EVERYTHING. No wonder service was slow -- I give this place the 2 stars because I think their food is somewhat decent (not as good a DJ's Berkeley Cafe down the road though!!), but their service has a long way to go -- I hope they figure it out soon, otherwise I'll be looking for the new signs of future owners. read more

(Tennyson location) My friends and I have our regular breakfast haunts, but we like to mix it up once in a while and are happy to welcome a spot that's handily within walking distance. But... we'd rather walk farther. The space is sunny and bright, and the tables are well spaced. Our server was courteous and sweet, but we could tell this wasn't her regular gig. With our first round of coffees, we were given a total of four creamers. For the table. So of course, our refills required an extra trip to the waitress station for more creamers. No extra footwork for us, but a bit awkward to have to ask. No, the problem was the food. Which was terrible. The signature peas were perfect: bright green, nearly crispy, sweet, warm. Flawless. However the Benedict was described as "okay" (and left unfinished, which I've never before seen this dining partner do) while my Angus beef hash was nearly inedible. I kept at it from a sincere desire to find an actual piece of beef in it, but failed. The overall flavor was precisely that of frozen shredded potatoes mixed with a packet of onion soup mix and a dash of beef bouillon. We *paid* for this? I was reminded of grade school lunchroom offerings. In the future we'll walk a little further down the street. There are plenty of options in the neighborhood, and this is easily crossed off the list. read more
