This place is just great. I come here a lot for breakfast with my mom, usually on Sundays, and we're always greeted like friends with a warm welcome and big smiles. The food is always fast, fresh, and delicious. If you're like me, and hesitant to order something with a side of fruit because you don't want a big old scoop of soggy canned mush, have no fear! You won't find anything but the freshest, ripest stuff available here. I wish I learned that sooner, because I missed out on some waffles piled high with a mountain of strawberries and bananas for way too long. They can get busy durring normally busy breakfast hours, but if you time it right, you can be in and out in 20 minutes -wellfed and happy. Without over spending. There's a reason this place has been around forever! read more

Good food. Reasonable prices. Lively atmosphere. Enjoy! Lots of omelet options. Eat! Eat!

Service was okay and so was the food. What was not okay was the hosts behavior, in my opinion. I just didn't leave very satisfied. Below are a few quotes from the hosts on the phone and to other guests: * I'm 8 months pregnant and asked the hosts for a glass of ice water, one host went to get it and the other said "you live here, and you're pregnant, and you're not carrying a water bottle?" - she could have been trying to be funny but it didn't land... * "We are too busy for to go's the kitchen won't do it" - I feel like if this may have been true, but there was a better way to say it * Told a party of 10 "It could be a 45 minute wait or 50 or 75. We don't know" - that group was not upset about the original quote time of "over an hour" and just wanted their name on the wait. After they added their name and went outside the one host told the other host "You're going to die, I tried to tell them it was 75 minutes but they still wanted to wait" * A lady asked about how much longer for their table and they said "we don't know. Could be 10 minutes could be a half hour we just don't know" - while this may be true I was just hoping for some more hospitality from the hosts... Overall the trip was fine, it was just hard to watch rude behavior. I don't feel like waiting 30-45+ minutes due to understaffing was an issue for anyone especially since there was a 5K a block away, but being dismissive and trying to make people leave or not want to wait was not acceptable behavior to me. read more

I saw the reviews for this place and decided to check it out. It's the quintessential breakfast place you're always looking for. The coffee has great flavor and the food was amazing! Ask for recommendations from your server. It helped us decide what we wanted to try. I will definitely be back! read more

Cute little place for breakfast/lunch. We stopped in for a quick bite before touring the mint (which we actually didn't get to do) - at least it was close by. I ordered a scramble and expected all the stuff to be scrambled into the eggs, but instead it was all on top. No biggie because it was very cheesy and they used high quality bacon and yummy - just not exactly what I expected. I thought the potatoes left a bit to be desired as well. My husband enjoyed his omelette and the apple butter was a nice treat with the english muffin (both house made?) Also a small parking lot with free parking - nice! My favorite part was the space though. Old with brick walls and squeaky wood floors. So lovely! read more

such a cute little breakfast spot! the waitress was very attentive and the food was good and hearty. I wouldn't mind coming back next time I am visiting Denver. read more

such a cute cozy diner!! the staff are super nice & make you feel like you're family. the award winning cinnamon roll is a MUST. it's unlike any cinnamon roll because it's not bread, it's a flaky pastry. the yummiest. i got the "notanotheromelette" which was a skillet of potatoes, green peppers, mushrooms, tomatoes, and scrambled eggs. i added bacon which was delicious. this entree came with an english muffin and fruit, aka a single piece of pineapple. the skillet could have been more seasoned & the veggies more cooked, but overall it was good! i recommend adding the bacon. read more

Before I say anything else...Let me just start with this: I have developed a food aversion to hollandaise sauce thanks to Dozens. My husband and I thought it would be fun to venture downtown this morning and try out a breakfast spot that our neighbor Suzanne recommended recently! Ohhhh what a brunch mistake we made!!!!! The potatoes: tragic. They were cold, hard as rocks, and simple crusty (not crispy) in the WORST way possible. The coffee: burnt. Our water pitcher: filled to the brim with ice and water. It was SO full that my husband could not help but spill water all over his crouch when trying to be sweet and pour me a glass. There was anemic baby shrimp on my Benedict. Why? Substituted for the English Muffin that Benedicts are meant to be made with: a soggy square of puff pastry? Someone please contact Martha ASAP. And lastly, hollandaise for DAYSSSSS obliterated any sense of what I was actually eating. I felt as if I was eating different textures of hollandaise. Nasty. Anyways, this mama still feels quite dissatisfied and a little bit hungry. Will not be going back to Dozens ever again unless I want to get my stomach pumped!!!! read more

3 michigan stars. the coffe was so smooth and the staff was very respectful and friendly. the food was outstanding

My first time ever at this location. Our server was Sheila (not sure how to spell her name, but she had short red hair!), and she was great. She seemed to be doing a million things at once so kudos to her for being as composed as she was... I ordered the steak house salad which, and I am not exaggerating, was the best salad I have ever had in my life. Service could have been horrible, but that salad would still give this place 5 stars by itself! I got the salad's streak cooked medium well, I had ranch as the dressing, and I added avacado. Turns out this was the perfect combination. I highly, highly recommend that specific salad order. I will say, I do not consider myself a salad connoisseur, quite the opposite actually, I do not like most salads. I am sure there are better salads out there to a more seasoned tongue... but not in my opinion! Lol! Best salad ever!! read more

Absolute best fresh squeezed orange juice in town!! Can never go wrong at dozens. Their flaky cinnamon rolls melt on your mouth and everything from their breakfast to lunch is scrumptious!! Plus the owners are the cutest. Love love love read more

Walked in to one of the most friendly, welcoming greetings I think I've ever gotten at a restaurant. The Northsider omelette was pretty good, accompanied by a buttered English muffin, seasoned breakfast potatoes, and an oatmeal raisin cookie. I'd be remiss if I didn't comment on the homemade jam too, which was amazing. Nice quaint little place to get a bite to eat and take time away from the bustle. read more

Dozens is my favorite diner in Denver!! The staff are welcoming and the food always hits the spot for Sunday morning brunch.

Best breakfast I have had in quite some time. This places uses real ingredients (actual ham, not that overly processed nonsense you usually get in an omelette), sausage and fresh eggs. Very filling breakfast that doesn't leave you feeling heavy after. 10/10 would recommend to anyone looking for a nice brunch spot in Denver. read more

Decided to try this place on a whim. Its close to where i live and i pass it by all the time. I get to my table and i immediately notice a dirty coffee cup. The food was...exceedingly mediocre? Nothing wrong with it but nothing memorably good either. Decent eggs and dry potatoes. Maybe ill try it again, but for now im just not impressed. The 3 stars im giving aren't intended as a bad score, but rather "its an incredibly standard breakfast place" score read more

I'm not sure if you've heard or not, but I kind of have a crush on breakfast. I mean, sure it's mostly on the bacon part, but I've also had my eye on Belgian waffles, biscuits and gravy and the occasional omelet. And so I've now kind of developed a giant crush on Dozens. They are clearly an egg-heavy menu (get it - Dozens?), but they offer plenty of other options if you are of those anti-egg people. Plus they have delicious French press coffee, which is enough for 2 to share or 1 to overindulge in. The atmosphere is adorable as has been mentioned. It's just a little, old house that's been revamped into a comfy, homey restaurant. The only thing I found strange were the server's shirts were a little short, like belly showing shirts, but everyone wore shirts underneath those shirts. read more

So glad we found this place on our first day. This is a great breakfast spot. I was able to get gluten free bread and a healthy egg scramble. The kids had thier favorites including pancakes and sausage and biscuits. Service was great. Two thumbs up. read more

Wonderful, cozy, sweet servers. Nothing like a relaxing breakfast place! The menu is funny and offers a great variety of things to order.

Great food. Very accommodating. Called a couple days ahead to reserve a table for 8 on a Sunday morning. I was told that they did not take reservations for Sunday mornings and that those were the busiest days, but I could call ahead the morning of to give them a heads up that we were coming and they would start seating accordingly so that they would have a table for us shortly after our arrival. Very cool! Not too many small restaurants willing to do that. We ended up just showing up instead and were seated surprisingly quickly for there being a huge event at the Library (a block away). Unfortunately, my group grew a bit more than I expected, so as chairs were added, our table was a bit uncomfortable and we felt like we were in everyone's way, but that was our fault, not theirs. They were quite accommodating. They have great menu options and all of them sound so good it is difficult to decide. They also have low-carb side options, instead of the regular hash browns and bread! Yay! I got my grubbin green chile omelet with cottage cheese & tomatoes on the side, delicious! Parking is a little dicey. If you are lucky, you can find a spot in Dozens lot. Metered parking is free on Sundays, but you may have to hike a bit. Just give yourself a little extra time to park. Also, the place is very small, so be prepared to wait, but the wait is well worth it. If you want to sit on the patio, be prepared to wait quite a long time, as it is quite popular and quite small. read more

K pointed out that we probably hadn't been to Dozens in at least that many years and we haven't missed much. The famous cinnamon roll had a tasty orange glaze but the bun was doughy and soggy. Food arrived quickly and service was excellent. However the eggs and potatoes were underseasoned and nothing special. With so many other brunch options downtown, this should not be your first pick. read more

Everything was perfect and warm. Thanks so much! We are always afraid to try places when out of town but this place did not disappoint.

I've eaten here many times now, and there are many positives -the food itself being the biggest positive. Their omelette's and notanomelette's are pretty original, the vegetables are fresh, and their offerings of apple butter and french press coffee somewhat unique. I also like the building being a modified house. At first I found the bathroom scary, but realized that it was clean and actually pretty functional though crowded....just a little dark. Before today, they would have received 4 stars, and even now I feel they deserve 3 1/2. I went for an early lunch from jury duty to find it not very crowded. My waitress was prompt and friendly, but the other waitress on duty was conversing so loudly in the next room, I could do nothing but listen to her discussing reality television, her boyfriend, and her political views. I noticed other people glancing her general direction with a bit of annoyance as well, so I don't think it was just me being petty when I felt like asking her to turn her megaphone voice down a few notches. So I would give this a 1/2 star deduction. The other star deduction is for having to bring your payment up to pay, which is a pet peeve of mine in places that are above the greasy diner in stature. Today the cashier/host was outside on his phone for quite some time, didn't notice me, and an off duty person in a beer shirt took care of me. Everyone was really friendly, and I will definitely go back, but I will be sure to bring cash and leave it at the table to avoid having to stand and wait in the future. read more

Best old-school breakfast place in the city. The quality of all of the ingredients is superb. I've loved everything I have tried here, including the basic breakfast, the French Toast, and the Steamboat. Down to the potatoes and eggs it's delish!! Highly recommend the English muffin with apple butter also, to die for! On my last visit Virginia was my server, she was an absolute delight!! This place is worth going out of your way for. read more

Delicious and fast! Had short amount of time to get something tasty, and though I forgot to tell the server the food came out fast and perfect to order! Treated today to the waffle with strawberries and bananas, well worth the splurge -- plan to share that dish! Also had eggs with the potatoes and you hardly notice the onions except for the nice flavor! Super homey place expect to make conversation with the folks next to you as you are fairly close, yet not a requirement. :) read more

The vibe at this restaurant as very homey and cozy and has an authentic down to earth vintage feel. The host was welcoming and friendly and although the waitress was stressed and busy during the breakfast rush, was also very friendly and talkative. The food was nothing to write home about but matches the no-nonsense Americana feel of the place. A nice place for a simple bite to eat with gramgram and the fam read more

Let's keep in mind three stars isn't bad, it's just not spectacular. I ordered Anothernotanomlet which was a skillet type breakfast of potatoes and veggies topped with cheese, two eggs and an English muffin. I thought it was really good once I added hot sauce and some salt. It was really freaking temperature hot though, so I was staring at it drooling for awhile before I could even begin to try and eat it. It provided enough food for breakfast AND lunch. I do think it's weird that they don't have pancakes, but it seems as though they are very "egg centered" at this particular breakfast place. That's fine with me since I wanted savory breakfast. The ambiance is like The Egg and I or Perkins. Not too great. The seats were really uncomfortable, and I had a "booth" seat which was more like a bench with some padding on it, and the seat part is so small that you can't lean back at all. So you have to sit pencil straight all through breakfast. I don't like being forced into good posture. You have to pay for your bill at the front in a cramped little entry way and we had to wait for awhile which I didn't like. Seemed too IHOP-ish to me. Good place for breakfast if you don't feel like waiting for hours on a weekend for a table. read more

I had to go to the court house to pick up some documents and we happened to park across the street. We decided to just take a chance and get some breakfast. Awesome find! Although it's been here forever this was my first experience. The wait staff was phenomenal and the food was even better. I think the bacon may have been my favorite. We will definitely be regulars now. read more

Nice location near downtown Denver in a quaint location. Good food mainly sandwiches and omelets salads. I felt the menu was limited, but no problems finding a good food. Moderate plate size. I had the Colorado Cordon Bleu with chicken breast, swiss cheese and bacon. Very tasty served with pasta salad. Very friendly staff. Good suggestions. Crowded and busy at lunch. Two locations in Denver. read more

THE BEST BREAKFAST IVE EVER HAD!!!! Everything was so fresh and full of flavor. The orange juice was freshly squeezed!

This place is the best!!! I've been eating here for 10+ years and it is still my FAVORITE breakfast place ever. I always order the DTC with extra apple butter and a Belgium waffle. I have NEVER had a bad meal here!! (I'm super picky about food) I also have NEVER had a problem with the owner and any of the staff. Everyone has always been super nice if anything, (the owner & staff do not know who I am, I was a little girl when I started coming with my mom and I now am an adult coming by myself) so this has nothing to do with the way I'm treated compared to others. I think this place is super underrated and deserves more hype. I have brought many friends here to eat in the past few years and everyone has loved it. I love bringing people here because it's such a cute building and great food. Personally, I believe the food is unmatched! read more

A nice family-style breakfast and brunch place. Visiting from out of town and was just looking for a quick, but tasty breakfast place, and Dozens was good enough. The waiters and waitresses were really nice and the service was great! The food was quick. I ordered the biscuits and gravy, hash browns and a side of pineapple. I have never seen any other breakfast place put a round sausage over the biscuits and pour gravy over the top--but I enjoyed it. It tasted great!! The hash browns were not as crunchy as I usually like them, but it did the job. The pineapple is a pineapple--like the shape of my head and hair! read more

Very friendly and attentive staff. You can tell this place has been around for a very long time because of certain items I saw that I have never seen before. For example, their cash register has been there for 30+years, still works and looks pretty cool! The food is pretty typical for a breakfast/brunch day and the prices are very affordable. I had the Notanomelette and it was quite satisfying :) I'll be back to try more! read more
