    Matcha Flight
    Alexis S.

    I found this cute little woman-owned coffee shop on TikTok and had to check it out--especially when I heard they had matcha flights! Say less. I grabbed the matcha flight and the "Good Morning Griller," which is basically a breakfast sandwich made with French toast. And let me tell you... it *slaps*. Perfect sweet-and-savory combo. I'd come back just for that sandwich alone. The matcha flight came with four flavors: - Honey: simple and cozy - Blossom: giving rose or lavender vibes - Caramel Macchiato: sweet but not too sweet - Blueberry: the star of the show If you're into a creamier, milk-forward matcha, you'll love it here. Overall, super cute spot tucked inside a tech business center, and the staff was really friendly. Definitely worth a stop!

    Egg & cheese with cream cheese :)

    Stopped here for a quick breakfast with my daughter & it was the perfect way to start our day! I got an egg and cheese bagel sandwich with cream cheese added, which was toasted & delicious! My daughter got a muffin which the staff gladly warmed up for her. It was a nice airy open space, and had a little kids play area on the side which is always nice! Greta experience.

    A nice coffee spot - definitely on the expensive side. I got the mini flight which was nearly $18. All of the coffees were good, but a little expensive for me!

    I love flights and GFD Coffee offers both coffee flights AND matcha flights! They offer fun flavors though their website advertises 3 flights menus, one being seasonal, and this was not the case during my recent visit - no seasonal option. The flights are $22 for coffee and $25 for matcha, for the 6oz versions - pricey! The individual drinks and pastries are also on the higher end of coffee shop pricing, which may deter me from too many future visits. One big PRO is the spacious seating and games available! You can easily bring young kiddos here and they will be entertained while you enjoy your caffeinated beverage. Additionally, they have clean bathrooms, free wifi, and free parking. Service was quick as well.

    Please note - this place can be a little hard to find if you have not been here before or if you use the yelp "get directions" button. I tried that and it took me to the parking garage for this office building, Two Denver Highlands. Also, signage for the coffee shop are Hard to find as well. But the coffee shop is well worth visiting! I wasn't there for coffee, but their menu is diverse and impressive. The staff was friendly and helpful, even as they apologetically explained that their deliveries were late and they only had plain bagels to offer. The space is bright and clean with outdoor and indoor seating . The outdoor seating has umbrellas and a roof to make it more usable in the afternoon. I got a bagel and cream cheese - the bagel was fresh and perfectly toasted. I would definitely come here again to try some of their other offerings and their coffee or possibly chai!

    Breakfast Tacos
    Marissa F.

    I really wanted to like this place but sadly it missed the mark in a few categories. It's located on the bottom floor of an office building so I'm sure it gets busy on the weekdays. But it seems pricey for a daily coffee shop. We went on a Saturday morning for some breakfast it wasn't too too busy but it definitely picked up while we were there. We ordered the coffee flight, a vanilla latte, the breakfast tacos with bacon and a breakfast sandwich on a bagel. These 4 things were $50! The food had absolutely no seasoning to it. My husband said his bagel was barely toasted and felt like he could have made a better sandwich at home. The tacos were bland. Like you could tell just looking at them there was no seasoning to be had here. the hash browns were not crispy, the decision to use a corn tortilla was weird in my opinion. A flour tortilla definitely would have been better. The coffee flight fell short of expectations. 1) I would have liked to pick my own flight. Out of the 4 I would have maybe picked 1 of these myself. There was: Nutella Almond bliss with chocolate cold foam White chocolate with lavender Honey vanilla chai with cinnamon cold foam. There was too much ice in the glasses to get a good sip of the coffee, the whipped cream made it even harder to drink. I got a spoon to stir them up and take ice out. White chocolate and Lavender have NO BUSINESS being together. The Nutella and almond one basically tasted the same. The chai one was good but sweet. Overall eh

    Fall Season Flight
    Yuan G.

    Visiting Colorado and was looking for some matcha. Tiktok brought me to Grounds for Dismissal Coffee. Matcha Flight did not disappoint! Fun, unique flavors that are actually REALLY GOOD. Since we were already there, we also got curious about the Fall Season Flight. Yummy drinks! We bonded over ranking the drinks and ended up deciding that the Matcha Caramel Macchiato and Honey Matcha Latte were the favorites so we had to get more in their regular sizes!

    The location is pretty hard to find I'll start with that but overall the experience was good love the coffee flights they offer seasonal ones so you get to try the flavors of the season. The smaller size is the way to go! The space is definitely big enough to accommodate big parties inside or outside seating . they have games

    Black coffee with cream
    Cindy S.

    Went to grab coffee and a little breakfast. I had the lox breakfast sandwhich which was a salmon bagel on Asiago it was okay, bigger then what I thought it would be had avocados nice size salmon, capers, cream cheese. My BF had the breakfast sandwhich that had scramble eggs, bacon and cheese on sourdough and it was toasted he said the cheese could have been melted more but over all it was alright. He just got plain black coffee which was free refill and I got white chocolate lavender latte, was good a little to much lavender but I was okay with it. The service was your normal it wasn't busy wait a few for our coffee and good, my bf black plain coffee always comes out last and it's the easiest. Great morning coffee shop in a commercial real state building very chill and a good place to have coffee and hang out they have games you can play plenty of seating inside and out.

    Super cute logo

    The coffee is delish. The staff are super but the pricing has become bonkers. It didn't used to seem so high: or maybe I'm just more broke now They have these totally cool looking coffee or Macha flights that would be fun to try for a date with a friend or two.

    We stopped in for a bite to eat because we had seen this place on Yelp. I give the food and drink a 4/5, but the atmosphere at 3/5. It's great for an office building cafe, but not really a destination. The staff was friendly and greeted us nicely, but the sandwich literally took 20 minutes to be prepared and we were the only guests in the establishment. I actually think they may have been out of the ingredients and driven to the store and come back to make it-- it took that long. An ok place if you are willing to wait ..

Upon doing so, you notice they've added two unusual changes -- a 2% "restaurant impact fee" and a 1% "kitchen staffing fee." We were told that the fee helps pay the kitchen staff because the wait staff doesn't share tips with them. We asked to have it removed and were told it cannot be removed. This is a problem based on principle and nothing else. There are costs associated with running a business. Pay your employees properly so that these fees don't need to be added. Be honest about it -- increase the cost of menu items if necessary -- but don't add HIDDEN fees! It makes you look slimy and dishonest. At the very least, remove the fees when your customers don't want to pay them. This really pales our opinion of this place. It's irritating and embarrassing for everyone, including the wait staff who have to explain the fees to the patrons, and in this case, receive a smaller tip.

Location (4 stars) This restaurant is downtown near the convention center. parking is pricy if you valet park at the hotel. Last year it was around $40. Parking in the lot across the street for $25 dollars Easter Sunday. If you use a walker, I would not recommend the parking lot across the street. Food (3 Stars) The Thanksgiving buffet is the best one. I would rate that buffet a (4). The Christmas and Easter buffet are pretty low key. There is a carving station (ham and prime rib). There is an omelet station. Dessert bar is decorative. Cheesecake was delicious. The warming station with potatoes, sausage etc. leaves much to be desired. The charcuterie station is sparse. They offer unlimited mimosas for an additional $25. Service (5 stars) Staff are extremely friendly. Cleanliness (2 stars) My only complaint, I saw a tabletop being cleaned off with a rag used to clean the chairs and then under the table on the floor and on to the next tabletop. I'm just a little picky about that. Especially since folks these days go commando and wear short attire, and you know their parts are on the chair and now spread to tabletops. Wiping up the crumbs off the floor with same rag simply through me over the edge. Atmosphere (4 stars) Spacious uncrowded environment. Nice decor. Bright with large windows.

    During the last few Denver Restaurant Week events, I've tried to take the offerings as an…read moreopportunity to sample restaurants that I haven't tried, or otherwise may not try, and see if I can add to my list of favorites. I saw Former Saint on CBS News, and the menu and food looked incredible. In particular, that white chocolate blueberry cheesecake was something I know my hubby would look forward to all week! I loved the idea of local food and fresh homemade dishes. Sounds healthy, after a week of potential over-indulgence at other restaurant week venues. An additional bonus was that it is located right near the Denver Convention Center and the Performing Arts Center. This has become a dry spot for fine dining, with even the choices on Larimer Square growing more thin, giving rise to the inability to get reservations at favorites like Tamayo and Rioja prior to a show. I go to performances frequently with friends, and despite my rule to avoid hotel restaurants (Former Saint is in the Hyatt Regency), I thought I'd scope out Former Saint as a place to take my friends before the next symphony or Children's Chorale or ballet or broadway performance. I must say, the jury is still out. Former Saint was a Jekyll and Hyde of courses. Parking was not difficult (Yay, maybe I can park here prior to my shows, if I grab a bite first). There is a large garage, and the promise of validation from the restaurant. The ambiance of the restaurant is typical hotel restaurant. Booths, tables, old and a bit drab. Except for the bar. Oh, my! The bar has this BEAUTIFUL copper creation above it, adding so much industrial character to the space! I was in awe looking at it, as it appeared to bring craft suds to the bartender's taps. I didn't ask how it worked, as it wasn't clear how the beer separation and dispensing worked, but it was a great centerpiece and spectacle for the place. I do wish I had investigated more about this architectural marvel, and will do so if I return. For restaurant week, my husband chose the Lobster Ravioli, Ribeye, and blueberry cheesecake (as predicted). I chose the Gotham salad, roasted chicken, and key lime tart. The lobster ravioli was nice; my husband was surprised that it was a toasted ravioli, but enjoyed it. My salad was full of beautiful greens, pears, walnuts, and feta. No scrimping here! The dressing was light and sweet/sour. The pears were a bit unripe and crisp, to the point that I was having trouble identifying exactly what fruit I was eating, but other than that, the salad was beautiful, healthy, and ample. My husband's ribeye steak was a nice cut, done to his liking. Slivered hash browns were underneath with a nice green chimichurri on top and some sliced Fresnos adding a welcome kick to the dish. My chicken was delightful. 1/2 chicken on the bone, seasoned nicely, and with a pan sauce. The breast was super-tender and delicious. It came atop cheesy grits, which was a yummy substitute for a mashed potato. I also was served side salad of curly lettuce and fennel. I probably didn't need more salad, but I was glad to have the healthy side on my plate. I will say that this salad was over-seasoned. The chicken and grits were great, but the salad too salty. My husband ordered a glass of J. Lohr Cabernet, which was a very nice find on the wine list, as far as a pairing for his ribeye. That said, the glass cost $30! A bit much, I might say. The real detractor, unfortunately, was dessert. The blueberry cheesecake looked nothing like the beautiful creamy white cheesecake accented throughout by purple blueberries, which I saw on the CBS News clip. My husband was served a very small solid purple slice, overcome with whipped cream dollops. This cheesecake had been uncovered in the fridge too long, with sort of a skin on it. My husband ate almost none of it. My key lime tart was similarly over-adorned with whipped cream, although I had some nice raspberries on top. The tart also seemed overexposed to the cool air, with the thickening of a skin on top. It was a very disappointing way to end a nice meal, and belied the healthy, homemade, craft theme. High points of this experience include the well-crafted and healthy entrees, the fact that we could see the convention center right outside our window (i.e., the location is perfect for pre-event or -theater), the $3.00 validated parking fee, and that beautiful copper tap system. Will the pros outweigh the cons? Will we be back with friends? Time will tell.

SPACE: Located in the highlands, this place has become the new "it" spot when it comes to breakfast. It's easy to spot on the corner, has decent street parking options and cute as pie inside. Bright colors splash the walls, which are lined with booths and tables alike. Community seating is in the middle, which the girls and I were happy to dine at.
