    Excellent coffee and very cool space. People working here were super friendly. I would love to come back and enjoy some more of their items. I got a mocha latte hot with oat milk of course and a breakfast bagel sandwich and it was really delicious. Ryan enjoyed his as well and a chai ! There's lots of space here to break out a laptop and do some work or to sit with a group of friends or just a couple of people. There's also an outdoor area and it's conveniently located in a cute neighborhood which was walkable for us so we definitely will be coming here again. I can't believe we are just now discovering this place !

    Worst matcha of all time

    The signs were there.... They spelled matcha wrong on the menu but I still ordered an iced matcha. I am not being dramatic when I say it was the worst matcha of all time. The iced matcha was warm. The ice melted in 5 seconds. It tasted like they mixed half expired skim milk with water and added .00003 tsp matcha powder. I dumped it in the bushes and ran away.

    I could've sworn on my life I had reviewed Radiator! What the heck, Matt! This is a great space in the Sunnyside neighborhood off 44th Ave. They do a little bit of everything here. Pablo's coffee, Leroy's Bagels, their own sandwich and salad menu, a full bar with happy hour deals, etc. Without question, the main selling point is the patio. Whether you're bringing the whole family with you or looking for an afternoon happy hour spot with your crew, the patio is the place to be. Tons of tables, seatings, patio umbrellas, even a gazebo. Now if you come here during the day, it essentially functions as a coworking and meeting space. They have outlets alongside the south corner of the restaurant and that's where you'll see everyone and their laptops lined up. I'm always extremely productive when I come here, so that's a plus! I will admit that I don't think that the food or drinks are anything to write home about. The sandwiches could be larger for $15 and the cocktails I've tried are solid, but not excellent. However, the staff is friendly and efficient and trained to do everything. It's a utility spot that is a must in my rotation because it can cater whatever I'm in the mood for. Oh, and last thing. Dogs, dogs, dogs. You're guaranteed to see a few good boys and girls while you're here! Check out the patio sometime on a sunny Denver day!

    I came here for lunch with some friends on a Sunday, and the place was pretty busy. It's a great spot for meeting up with friends who have kids since there's an enclosed playground to keep them entertained. Unfortunately, my experience was overshadowed by an issue with my meal. There was wax paper in my Tuscan Chicken sandwich, and I didn't realize it until I had already eaten some of it. This really ruined the meal for me. The Spin Class salad was fine, but honestly, I can't remember much about it because the wax paper incident left such a negative impression.

    Okay!! I am SO glad I found this coffee shop. Since moving to Denver- all the shops I have tried have been major let downs. This place was finally different! The ladies working this morning were so kind, greeted me with a smile, were helpful in my choices for my first visit and personable! I just grabbed a rosemary bag with chive cream cheese on my way to an appointment, but I could not wait and ripped into it as soon as I got back to the car! I was shocked when I walked up and saw the patio with various seating options, a nice taken care of turf, a children's playground and a garage door to roll up during the summer! There's even a gazebo near the playground that has a REALLY nice table under it. They do have a bar in there in addition to the coffee counter. All in all a great first trip. Can't wait to come back and hang out!! Update! I got the names of the two ladies working who were so amazing for me! Ky and Vickie!

    A friend suggested this spot for a quick catch up session. Pretty nice patio area with a small climbing structure for younger kiddos. The service was okay. The person at the register didn't bother to greet us when we walked in and not friendly. They were out of bagels by 11:30 am and when our hot food was ready, we were not notified. Hopefully it was just an "off" day and would consider coming back for another try. Heard this is a good neighborhood spot and crowded on weekends.

    Cider? Yes please!

    Grabbed a beverage with my husband on their patio yesterday during happy hour. The specials were good but the bartender was really awesome- so nice!!! The bathrooms definitely needed attention, but otherwise it was a nice time.

    Friends of mine recently visited on what was apparently a street sweeping day. While it is certainly the driver's responsibility to look at street signs it would take seconds for the staff to put up a sign at the door alerting clients of such a thing. $50 is a hefty fee. Again, it just shows that there is no interest, other than opening the door doors. The concept "open and they will come" does not work in the long run. You'll see.

    Such a cute place! They have a cute picture area inside and plenty of outside seating. This is a great place to go get a drink and let the kiddos play (when it's warm out). The nachos were pretty good, however kind of dry. The bartender was nice and patient and make some delicious drinks. I look forward to going back and trying some of their seasonal specialty drinks!

    Gill makes the best nachos!!! And Austin is an amazing bartender. Definitely worth a stop, especially if you have kids :)

    Great place for brunch, drinks and more! The lox bagel is a classic, and there's spacious indoor and outdoor seating.

    Took 30 minutes to get a bagel and toast. The bagel was awesome though but none of the people smiled, such a simple thing

    It can get busy but the staff is friendly and the space is comfortable so waiting isn't painful.

With a lively interior, hip music and a 90's type vibe, the energy here is high. The hostess was helpful, shared opinions and asked me questions about what I liked and did not steer me to as specific selection. Families, runners, women groups and Uber eat drivers are enjoying the chill vibe with hip music playing in the background. The selection was not easy as several combinations were intriguing and did not sound typical but innovative. The lemongrass beefy crunch with lemongrass braised beef, herbed slaw, maple orange vinegarette, pickled carrots and daikon, 5-spiced crispy onions, mayo on a pressed garlic focaccia was a must try. It is a major favor bomb! The meat was juicy, good hints of lemongrass, a light / fluffy focaccia and crispy, attention grabbing onions. HOMERUN and a true visionary with this concept. Those lucky enough to live in the Denver area, you should treat yourself at Obie B for a great meal. I will definitely be returning and trying several other gems.

It seemed like a quick casual place so we had 2 girls go to a table to claim it since it was really busy. They got yelled at because we hadn't ordered food yet. We walked back to the front and got in line, ordered our food and the table was taken. Thanks.... The lady at the counter taking the order seemed like she was annoyed by us from the beginning. The people running the food and drinks were all super nice. I like the overall vibe of the place. The food left a lot to be desired. I got the chopped cheese and the bread to meat ratio was awful. It was such a large piece of bread that I finally just opened it and ate the insides. Way too much bread. If I ever end up back there I will get the cheeseburger. That looked good and reasonably priced.

    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.

I tried the Vanilla Latte which was nicely sweetened, creamy, and soothing. The espresso was pulled well and gave me the caffeine kick I needed to start my day. They have some bar seating here but the cafe also extends into the lobby where you can sit and have a slow morning if you choose. Good try!
