I was delightfully surprised when I…read morehad walked in early to wait for a friend was greeted by the girl running the clothing swap. Feels like this spot may always have something jiving! My friend and I arrived with laptops and left them closed. The whole place has an Elle Woods sleepover energy: pink-adjacent, unapologetically cozy, a little magical. We enjoyed our treats, caught up and people watched. And yes these are treats. There may be alcohol at other times; we were just there for coffee and tea, and the specials leaned floral. I had something built around orange blossom that drifted between citrus and honeysuckle, delicate enough to feel like a mood rather than a flavor. Lovely, if not exactly life-changing. But that's the point: Hello Darling pulls you in with its aesthetic and keeps you with its comfy, cozy seats. Definitely equally suited to a solo work session or a two-hour gossip spiral that was supposed to be a work session! Come for the drinks, stay because you forgot you had somewhere else to be.

WOWOWOWOWOWOW! This…read morespot is a special one - in all the ways you'd think! It's a mix of fairy garden and feminine chic had a baby! ++ Killer location right in the highlands ++ Beautiful interior and decor - sweet, cutesy with a gorgeous floral mural on the back wall ++ Tons of seating - counter, high top, cozy booth, you name it! ++ Both cocktails and coffee are offered here - making it the perfect spot for a mid-day pick me up, or drinks with the girls ++ Super friendly staff eager to whip up a carefully crafted cocktail or latte ++ Fun menu items with the best vibes! -- Parking is limited to street only, so be on the lookout -- Coffee is average, but fun to try the creative menu. (We sipped on the cherry vanilla iced latte - which left me wishing there was more flavor, and the strawberry mocha cold brew - which was rich but so sour) I'd give this spot another chance and try some other things on the ever-changing menu :)

The baristas clearly know what they're doing, and the service is friendly and welcoming. We enjoyed an iced Americano, a spicy sweet chai with almond milk, and a London Fog latte. My only gripe is that the gluten-free cookies are kept exposed right next to the non-gluten-free items. (Please stop doing this, cross-contact matters.) Note also that the place gets really busy, so be sure to visit early!

It was incredibly smooth, not bitter at all, with subtle hints of citrus. My family and I ordered several different drinks, and every one of them was excellent. Troy, the owner, was incredibly friendly and took the time to explain the coffee, how his wife sources the beans, and what makes each one unique. I really appreciated their passion and enthusiasm for coffee. I highly recommend stopping by if you're looking for exceptional coffee and a welcoming atmosphere!

It was our first time in and Jess gave us a full rundown of the menu while Luke had us smell a few beans before picking deciding on a pour over, tasted almost like a floral tea with coffee on the back end.

I am so upset that I have not come here and experienced it sooner. The selection of breads and desserts and bakery items are amazing. I tried some salted caramel macarons and they were delicious.

My sister used to go regularly when she was in school and let me know that the hours were super awesome for that routine - open at 6am, closed at midnight. Perfect for an early morning study session or late night cram. Or if you're just in the mood for all-hours coffee! Parking is admittedly a bit cramped in the front and pretty awkward to get out of if it's busy, but there is a lot behind the building with more space. There are a surprising number of tables and comfy chairs inside, and the vibe is kinda retro which my sister and I both really love. Their menu is pretty big and they also had a ton of holiday drinks to choose from. My sister has raved about the coffee they use (kaladi), so I got a drip coffee and since I wanted a little festive treat, I also got "the grinch" lol, which was a matcha latte with oat milk and pistachio. Take a wild guess which cup was mine in the photo. My sister got a hazelnut latte, which also came out really pretty. The coffees were ready very quickly, and we were able to find a little table near the back of the shop. Our three drinks (all 12oz) came out to about $16 which I think is pretty on par with specialty coffee drinks, so I felt it was worth the price. The one girl we interacted with at the counter was super friendly, too! It seems to be a very popular spot, which doesn't surprise me even a little bit, and I cannot wait to come back again to try other drinks!

OBSESSED is an understatement!…read more The 60's flare and vintage signage! (Think groovy designs!) The cozy interior and vibes from yester year! (bright colors, plush pillows and white brick!)

(We opted to try the Cordial Cherry latte, Peach Lychee Italian Soda and The Blackmoor - all smooth, refreshing and caffeinated!) YUM! The variety of food items - made both in house and locally! Very cool to support local, especially when it's so delicious! Mom and I made our way to yet another coffee shop and liked this one a lot - so much that we'll be back tomorrow, and the next day! ;)

On my search for the best Pho in Denver, I visited Faifo Noodle House last year and got their Beef…read morePho with extra Beef Rib. The broth was deep and aromatic and the portion size, especially with the beef rib, was massive. Everything was so impressive that since that visit, this place has been on my regular rotation for pho. Beside Pho, they have a few other offerings, one of which is rather unique. For the more adventurous, Faifo offers a spicy beef pho. This is a dry-style pho serves with all the fixin' and a spicy sate style sauce that makes for an amazing meal on a hot day. It also comes with a bowl of pho broth for satisfying sips between bites. This is easily one of my favorite dish on the menu and a must try here. Beside that, I've also had their Bun Bo Hue, which is pretty dang tasty. The broth is very tasty, though not as funky or spicy as ones I've had in Vietnam. Nonetheless, it's a mighty tasty bowl and something to get for the colder days here in Denver. Both the Bo Kho and the Banh Canh are also very good as well, though not a must compared to other dishes on the menu. Overall, Faifo is a great Vietnamese restaurant. The value is also tremendous given the portion size. This is an easy 4/5 for me.

Wow, how fortunate are we to find this unicorn of a restaurant that serves bò kho and many…read moreVietnamese staples. Their bò kho definitely reminds me of my father's recipe, which is rich and not overly sweet. This aromatic Vietnamese beef stew is a fragrant broth infused with lemongrass, star anise, and spices. It's a bowl of distinct and complex flavor profile that balances savory, sweet, spicy notes, with a vibrant brick-red color from the annatto seeds. The cuts of beef shank, flank, and chuck were soft so you know they spent hours simmering to achieve this level of tenderness. The deep beef profile is highlighted when adding bean sprouts, Thai basil, lime juice to cut through the richness and carrots provided a natural sweetness to the savory broth. Bánh canh is a Vietnamese noodle soup featuring thick, chewy noodles made from tapioca flour, rice flour, or a mix, served in a flavorful broth with various toppings like pork, shrimp, crab, or fish cake. The broth is clean from the hours of simmering bones to create a savory, collagen-rich base. You can taste the freshness of the soup garnished with fresh cilantro, green onions, fried shallots, lime, and chili oil. Plus you get a boat load of proteins and garnishes - shrimp cake, imitation crab meat, shrimp, quail egg, mushroom, tapioca noodle, onion, cilantro and black pepper. We'll be back and try the bún bò huế and cá ri.
