    Breakfast sandwich
    Olivia Z.

    This may be the best breakfast sandwich I've ever had. The bun is soft and bouncy, the eggs were cooked perfectly with melty cheese and crispy bacon. I added the house hot sauce too. Truly a heavenly experience. Do not miss out on this sandwich! The coffee was delicious! I love a simple cold brew, and they do it well here! The staff was also very nice and happy. The space is a bit small inside and the music was loud, so I wouldn't recommend working remotely here. It was great for catching up with a friend, though! There's a patio out front if it's warm enough.

    The breakfast sandwiches here are absolutely delicious! The buns are so soft, the egg is perfectly seasoned and the side salsa is a perfect addition! I am super picky about my eggs and this place knows how to cook them so they are still moist. My husband got the sandwich with the pulled pork and the pickles complemented the sandwich nicely! The service was friendly and super fast! We were there on a Friday morning so we were glad there wasn't a long line, as mentioned on several reviews. The indoor space is small but clean and bright. I definitely recommend this place!

    I finally got to experience this breakfast and coffee spot! I've been walking by it for months now because I live down the block. This place did not disappoint. I highly recommend that you arrive early in the morning because the line to order and to get in goes out the door. I don't think this is a problem in the warmer months because there's so outdoor dining space but on a cold Winter day, it is not ideal. I enjoyed my chai latte plus my breakfast sandwich. I want to make this my causal, cozy, slow morning weekend spot!

    Love love their breakfast sandwiches! They use such high quality ingredients to really make quality food. Note that on weekends the line can be long, as well as the wait. They also make quality iced coffee drinks and have a cute patio to enjoy on. Try and hit them in off hours and enjoy one of their amazing breakfast sandos!

    5 resounding stars for an egg, cheese, and avocado breakfast sandwich that hit the spot in a way I couldn't have predicted. (And much shorter lines than the stalls at Denver Central Market.) We headed over to Port Side after seeing the line for breakfast sandwiches at Denver Central Market and checking Yelp. Once again, we were not led astray. Port Side has outdoor seating as well as limited indoor seating. If you wait around, you're likely to find an indoor table if it's a bit chilly outside. We opted for the egg and cheese sandwich with avocado added and when it came it didn't look super special. Holy cow it was amazing though! Every bite led to the next and before I knew it I had scarfed the whole thing down. My sister asked for hot sauce on the side and said that I had to mention it in my review because it seemed homemade and was outstanding. Overall, a great breakfast spot in an awesome location, that's definitely less touristy and worth visiting!

    Everything was so amazing ! Food, service and the whole vibe was great. Definitely coming back !

    If you're looking for a cozy, classic cafe that knows how to make an espresso drink and delicious small dishes, this is your place and certainly is mine. First, I don't know how long it's on the menu, but The Duke sandwich will blow your mind and taste buds! GO GET ONE OF THESE BEFORE THEY ARE GONE! It's a pulled pork sandwich that has obviously marinated in a spectacular season palette to the point where the meat actually melts in your mouth. The pickles on this thing are a perfect match along with a small pile of fresh baby kale. I ordered it on a whim and, wow, I can't imagine why there wasn't a line out of the front door just for this sandwich, I'm not joking. Go get one...right now. The barrista who was making our espresso drinks did so with artisan skills and it was exceptionally made. So the location, it's almost the size of an extra large walk in closet and seating inside is for only about 25 people, and that would be tight. There is more seating outside on the front patio and of course gettingsomething to go is an option. We went here on a Wednesday morning for breakfast but ended up getting there closer to 10:30 and there were only 4 other patrons there so we had a great experience. I hope this place is doing well because I would like to know that a niche coffee shop can still survive for long in this day and age. If they advertise The Duke sandwich and keep it consistent, I'm sure this would become a national chain, LOL!...no, seriously. Go Get One This Minute!

    I've lived less than a half a mile from port side for 2.5 years and I tried them out for the first time today. I am so sad that I didn't stop by earlier. The duke breakfast sandwich was absolutely delicious. The potato bun was perfection and so were the eggs, pulled pork, pickles and arugula. Their coffee? Amazing! I am a simple guy when it comes to coffee. Oat milk vanilla iced latte - outstanding! Their spot is very cute and everyone was so so friendly. Service was amazing too. You can find me there tomorrow morning with my dog for round two.

    Breakfast burrito
    Emma B.

    The inside is cozy! Few corner booths but limited seating. They have front patio so you can bring your dog but it is shaded in the morning. They have lunch and breakfast with veggie options. Seemed high quality! They sell their hot sauce which is actually really good and pretty hot. The staff was really nice and helped recommend some items since it was our first time. Didn't try the coffee but it looked good!

    It's official. I have finally found my favorite spot in all of Denver. If Yelp had a higher rating - it would for sure go to port side. Upon entering, your hit with great customer service. The price point is excellent. The food is seriously phenomenal. All fresh, delish, and hot. We got to chat with, I believe to be, the chef and he was the nicest human. He even took the time to write down some recommendations of other places to try near by. 10000% will be back soon to taste more of the menu. I'm eyeing that grilled cheese HEAVY! Only downside is parking is a tad difficult so scoot or walk on over to save your self the rino parking headache.

    Bacon Burrito with Avocado
    Paul C.

    Wow! It's been a couple of months living in the Denver area so far, and we have been pretty disappointed in a lot of the food here. That recently changed with a trip to Port Side. Located in RiNo (or Five Points, still learning areas) this cool little coffee shop has phenomenal coffee, some of the best food around our apartment, and a great atmosphere. My partner got the Truck Stop with avocado, I had one bite and I have been thinking about eating a whole one myself ever since. I got the Bacon Burrito (also with avocado) and it was truly one of the best breakfast burritos I have ever had, and that's saying something coming from someone who lived in Texas 30+ years. The sauce they include with the burrito is soooo good, I want to take home a gallon of it. We are dying to go back, and to try every single thing on the menu. Customer service was also top notch, very friendly staff. We got into good conversation with one of the main employees, who I had to immediately brag about everything we experienced- especially food wise not having a lot of spots to enjoy in Denver thus far. He returned a few minutes later with a list of places to go to that he liked, and we will definitely be taking his recommendations because if they are as great as Port Side...oh man that is exciting. Thanks for reading one of my first Yelp reviews, here's to many more!

    This is the perfect spot for a delicious egg sandwich and a latte. The place isn't too big so you may have to wait a little because it is very popular!!!

The three cozy pods were already occupied, but I was able to grab a seat at one of the two communal work tables, which gave me easy access to an outlet to charge my phone. They also offer free wifi. There were plenty of other seating options too, including lounge chairs and bar seating. They even have a billiards table! I ordered an iced London fog and opted for coconut milk, which is not typically available as a milk alternative. It came with vanilla syrup by default and was very good. I also tried the bacon, egg, and cheese breakfast sandwich on an English muffin. This was the only disappointing part of my visit. It seemed like a premade sandwich that had been reheated, so the bacon was soft rather than crispy, which is my preference.

They were not malicious. They simply performed the transactional ritual of caffeinating a stranger with the exact emotional investment of a parking meter. The beverage itself was perfectly adequate. Bad coffee inspires anger. This coffee merely inspired a quiet acceptance of my own mortality. It was average in that completely forgettable way that makes you wonder why you parted with currency for a specialty drink in the first place. If you need a nice chair to sit in while the world falls apart, you will find it here. If you are looking for a memorable cup or a warm human interaction, you will probably leave remembering the furniture.

    Did someone say ceremonial Matcha? Hell to the yea!…read more I had bookmarked this place for our stay in Denver on our trek from California. We always like to scope out the best coffee spots ahead of time. Little Owl did not disappoint! First, it's always difficult to find ceremonial grade Matcha wherever you go. Most of the time it's Matcha mixed with a bunch of other stuff and at best it's culinary grade. The Matcha here was vibrant in color, smooth and slightly nutty. I elected to sweeten it with simple syrup and had it Americano. My husband opted for a vanilla latte with oat milk and while we've stopped at several places so far, this is the best latte we've had on our roadtrip. They make all of their syrups in house and the coffee was smooth and not bitter. The cafe is small and quaint. It does open up into a larger building with additional seating. Customer service was on point, and we even joked about the different types of Matcha and how some places use a ton of fillers and sugar.
