The Radiator cafe came in clutch for their breakfast bagel sandwiches in the morning. Bagels are from local bagel bakery, Leroy's. I ordered the Egg & Cheese in a Rosemary bagel for $4.95. Nice chewiness to the bagel which was toasted some and ingredients were warm and gooey. May a little up there for a simple bagel sandwich though. I also had a cappuccino (espresso from Pablo's Coffee) which was not the best; it was thin, scalding, and tasted burnt. Large space which functions as a hang out spot and bar towards the later parts of the day. It is situated in a neighborhood so parking is plentiful. read more

The Radiator - Egg & Cheese on Rosemary bagel (from Leroy's), $4.95 - Cafes Near Me - Denver, Colorado

Okay, let's get started. I've grown up around Sunnyside and have wanted to try this for a while now, but ultimately, I was disappointed with the quality of the coffee and food I received for the price when I went. I got a medium chai bacon, egg, and cheese for $17, which is outrageous. I don't know if it's because im poor, but that was the most excruciating purchase I've ever made but also the I pad had the audacity to ask me for a starting tip of 20%. read more

Hifalutin pizza at reasonable prices. Absolutely wonderful , and an even better bargain if u go at happy hr. I'm a meat lover BUT their all vege Pizza was AWESOME. Gets my vote, soooooo good. read more

One of the best neighborhood hangout spots. They have great indoor and outdoor atmospheres all year round. Lots of shady spots during the hot summer days thanks to their new set-up, but also good sun in the cooler winter months. Food and drinks are great at any time of the day, as are the people (customers and staff). It can be a great place to get work done, often isn't too noisy especially in the morning time, but might not suggest taking work calls there. Make sure to check it out & to tip the folks who make this such a wonderful place to be!! read more

The Food was good, the customer service was great and the staff were friendly, the ambiance was nice and calming though something the music was loud. The price was relatively fair, overall it's an okay spot to chill. read more

I had a jalapeno bagel with chive cream cheese and it was BOMB. They "over-toasted" the bagel so it was a little burnt and crunchy which was actually great. The chive cream cheese was delicious and there was PLENTY of it. I also ordered an iced Matcha Latte and it was good. Maybe a little overpriced, but the experience as a whole was nice and worth it. Would love to try this place out at night and check out that bar area! Great outdoor space as well and a close walk to a lot of other options and residences nearby! read more

We only experienced the coffee side of The Radiator, I will say the bar had a great ambiance and seating options were plentiful. Came on a Saturday around 11:30a which the place was understandably busy. They were not doing any breakfast sandwiches and only had 1 rosemary bagel left once we got to the counter so changed it up and ordered 1 Veggie and 1 chorizo burrito and 2 cold brews. We were warned the burritos take 10 minutes to heat up and the woman behind the counter put the burritos directly into the microwave/oven in the standard packaging. She also missed adding the second cold brew despite the barista asking her to make sure she got it added to our bill and when we told her she said it was fine so we tipped to cover it. When our $5 each cold brews came out one had someone else's name on it, so who knows who missed their coffee, but it was a solid but expensive cold brew, probably the only positive part of our experience. The $7 burritos came out at the 10 minute mark where they were handed to us in the standard packaging and a couple napkins. No plate, salsas, or extras like we've seen with Bonfire Burritos at other coffee shops in Denver. A couple bits into the soggy burrito revealed they were still cold in the middle. When my boyfriend went in to let them know they apologized and were surprised to learn they were suppose to remove them from the packaging and wrap in tin foil per the instructions right on the back. There was no offering to warm it up or make it right. Just the flustered apology. We were able to grab some tin foil and decided just to go home and air fry them. Just an overall poor food and service experience for $24 of premade food and coffee. Based on recent reviews this seems to be the norm so we likely won't be returning for coffee or breakfast. read more

We were excited to see Leroy's Bagels open a "concept" in Sunnyside, bonus they even kept the coffee shop vibe intact. Coffee is decent, bagel sandwiches are good just like Leroy's. Here's my issue and the reason this isn't one of our "go to" spots: consistency. One day, they have plenty of bagels, the next, small little tiny sized ones, the next, they're simply out of stock. On top of that, the training and processes of the entire operation aren't streamlined. Employees often seemed confused. Wait times for food are often long. I feel stressed when I leave. Are you a coffee shop, bagel place, or a bar? read more

This cafe took the place of the Common Grounds that used to be here, but this place has a better vibe in my opinion :) Still that large room/warehouse feel, but the Radiator somehow made it cozier. They added some couches & other seating; still great for getting work done, but also good for cozier vibes & friendly conversation. Their food is great too. I ordered a bagel sandwich, but the guy behind the counter forgot to put my requested cream cheese on it too. He actually recognized the mistake before I got my food, but simply gave me that sandwich, and let me know he was already making another one for me on the house & I could have both! What service! The coffee was great too. This was an awesome place to get some coffee, grub, and get some work done on a weekday morning. read more

Super chill place, good for family's. Good for date nights, good for chilling out. Good for remote work. Kate served us tonight and she is great. Try one of the cocktails. Bagels are fresh daily. Go to this place. read more

The Radiator - Cafes Near Me - Denver, Colorado

Loved the old coffee shop (Common Grounds) because it was such a neighborhood vibe (ie didn't completely transform to the new neighborhood residents). This place is still pretty good with an amazing patio. Note: the most annoying this is very trendy new residents talking about much this place "fits their aesthetic". If you can get past that, then you'll love the tea and coffee. read more

I ordered a toasted everything bagel, and about 5 minutes later they gave me a plain bagel. I told the guy I asked for an everything bagel. They said ok and so I sat back down. About five minutes later the guy called my name and said he's giving my money back and started digging in the cash register aggressively. I said why what's up? He said we're out of everything bagels. I said oh can I order something different? He a just sighed really loud and stared at me. I said you should have told me you were out of everything bagels! He said he did tell me! I was exasperated I just walked out, what a waste of time! what really sucks is I live next door. First bad experience in Denver. read more

We were so excited to see that after Common Grounds decided to close its doors a new coffee shop would be going in. We were even more excited to see that the new ownership is: (1) connected to Leroys Bagels and (2) will be expanding beyond coffee to include adult beverages. We saw an announcement on Facebook that this place was going to be opening today, so we headed over for a morning pick-me-up and breakfast. The first impression: the new ownership has done a stellar job redecorating and redesigning the place. The space is bright, open, modern, and inviting. The garage door style windows were beautiful and will make this an awesome indoor / outdoor space (and great for COVID times, too). The team was still working out some kinks on their first day, but the staff was beyond friendly and clearly excited to be open. I opted for an Americano and my wife got the hot chocolate. The Americano was outstanding -- it was balanced and appropriately potent, but not overwhelmingly so. The hot chocolate was good, too. We both got bagels with cream cheese to eat. They had a handful of options: Everything, Rosemary, Sesame, and Jalapeño Cheddar. We both opted for the Jalapeño Cheddar, which was perfectly crisp on the outside and softer on the inside -- one of the best bagels I've had in a while. We are so excited to have this new spot in the neighborhood and will definitely be back (probably too often). read more

Nice vibe here but my Americano wasn't very good. I don't expect perfection yet I do expect a coffee shop to get a $5 coffee drink right. Isn't that what we're paying for? They play music with a loud bass beat which unfortunately drives me nuts. So 4 stars as this is probably worth a try for most, just not a fit for me. read more

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

This is a great brunch spot for moms to meet up with a friend or just go with your kid. My friend and I brought our 4 year olds and they had a great time running around and playing with the playhouse. The food was so good, it was mostly bagels and sandwiches, they have a large selection of coffee as well and other drinks. There's an area for cornhole as well. It started to drizzle while we were there, but thankfully a lot of the seating had umbrellas over it. Overall, this place has good vibes and it's a place where mom's don't have to sacrifice their brunch dates. read more

This experience was all over the place. Came here with a fairly large group but we all ordered separately at the counter. Inconsistency was the theme of the experience. One of our friends ordered a breakfast sandwich no problem, then another tried to order the exact same sandwich with a different server at the counter and was told they weren't serving breakfast sandwiches anymore and to order from the lunch menu, then another friend was able to order a breakfast sandwich... So are you done serving breakfast sandwiches or not? Another of our friends ordered a lunch sandwich, but after waiting 15 min at the table, an employee came over to tell him they didn't have the ingredients for it. No problem, he ordered a different item. Employee walks away and then comes back saying they can't make that one either. 4th try, seems to be fine, but then it takes 20 min and they haven't brought out a simple sandwich (they weren't busy), and it turns out they had forgotten about his order lol. They weren't particularly apologetic and they didn't offer anything for the inconvenience. Everyone else's food came out without any issues, but for it to take 4 tries and to fail despite that is pretty disappointing. If you only read reviews for the food, you should know the sandwiches are pretty good but nothing special. That's from 12 people getting a variety of different sandwiches (both breakfast and lunch sandwiches) that day. read more

Great vibes, good food, and a good assortment of drink options! Would be a great place to "work from home" from with plenty of delicious sandwiches and snacks, a coffee bar, and an actual bar. Quiet enough, ample outlets and seating, but cute decor and lots of natural light too! read more

Lovely outdoor space and a great place to hang out and work, indoors or out. Food is pretty good but can't say I'd recommend everything I've had...like the pesto turkey sandwich wasn't a wow item - didn't love the bread in particular. Great cocktails and coffee for any time of day! Nice, cool staff. read more

Just paid $15 for two chi teas... 20% was a "living wage" fee. And they expected a tip on top of that. You got to be kidding. Why do t you pay your workers a living wage instead of adding onto your already overpriced products. Will not be going here again. read more

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

During my trip to Denver from LA, I came across this awesome coffee shop that was just a 5 minute walk from my Airbnb. I have been coming here to eat breakfast for the last 3 days straight. Their bagels and coffee are amazing! It is a beautiful space to work, meet with friends, or read a good book. read more

Awesome place, great staff and the drinks are delicious. The patio is great and to address the other comment about smoking, they should've known they couldn't smoke. And who smokes anymore anyways?!? I'm happy they don't allow smoking on the patio, or should I say, I'm glad they follow the city of Denver regs/rules about smoking. Cant wait to go back once this covid stuff lifts!! read more

My husband and I finally got around to trying The Radiator after driving by it many times and it was A-Okay. We both got bagel sandwiches -- sausage, egg and cheese on plain for me, sausage, egg, cheese and avocado on jalapeno cheddar for my husband -- and while I do with the egg hadn't been hardboiled and the avocado was looking a little brown, we both thought the actual bagels were really good! I got a latte as well and had no complaints. read more

This is not good. The lox bagel was just mush. No chew to the bagel just doughy. The lox tasted okay but for the price something more quality would be expected. The B.L.A.T was just trash. It didn't even come with bacon... why? The avocado was completely oxidized. Brown goop. Just slice some avocados. Not hard! I highly recommend training your cooks better. read more

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

Cool chill local cafe with lots of indoor and outdoor space, coffee, bagels, and alcohol. Also dog friendly outside. :) First time I came here I was pretty disappointed. It took 37 min for me to get an iced americano. No apology for the long wait or anything, just a really long wait for a really basic drink. Internet in the area outside was also pretty spotty so I kept losing connection. However, I decided I'd give this place another shot before reviewing. I was pleasantly surprised on my second and third visits. It's clear they are short staffed and training people, so keep that in mind when going right now. But my drinks have come out more timely than the first time. Good selection of drinks on the bar side. Lots of room inside and outside with lots of people working on computers inside. Internet password is on a board and the internet is improving but still not perfect when I come, so we will see. Also wish they had more milk options on the coffee side of things. Lots of seating options though which is nice. Drinks were average, I can't eat the food so can't speak for it but my husband says the bagels are great and comes once a weekish. TLDR: Modern, large chill spot with food, morning beverages, and afternoon/evening beverages. Yay! Internet works mostly okay. Can be slow at times so if you see a line, wait at your own risk. Dog friendly outside! Also info above says that staff are wearing masks, this is no longer the case. No one really wearing masks here at all. Only a few guests do. And tables and areas are definitely not cleaned between people. read more

This spot is the best. A day-to-night place that has reliable and fast wifi. Coffee, beer on tap, wine, some nosh. Plenty of outlets with comfy seating. A very pleasant vibe and lovely outdoor seating situation. I worked here four days in a row and enjoyed every dang minute. Huge shout out to Sean and Bri for being so lovely and making my time here comfortable and FUN. read more

Objectively, great food and coffee with an outdoor space. I have never been so torn with a review, I either want to give it 5 stars or 1 star. I get tired of walking in places that has a hip and cool spot filled with more people on computers working all day. The self indulgent people that think spending $5 on an ice latte entitles them to taking 2 tables and sitting there for 4 hours is beyond me. I really like the the place and would suggest going with the caveat that the vibe is underwhelming due to people working with headphones on. read more

What an addition to the Neighborhood, love the outdoor patio space! My first trip I got a latte and a their lox bagel sandwich...sooooo goood. I came by another afternoon and grabbed a couple draft beers and sat outside on the patio. My friend got their soft-serve ice cream as well, great addition to an evening stroll through the neighborhood. Would highly recommend read more

I was just in town for a wedding last weekend and my cousin said we should check this place out. We got coffee from there in the AM and we watched some b-ball games later that night. The taco truck out front was clutch for dinner and the vibes were good. Seemed like a nice little spot that I would be a regular at, if I lived there. However, my lucky cousin gets to go there all the time and you should too. Do the right thing if you need a spot to kick it. read more

Very nice cafe in sunnyside. Cool vintage vibe inside. Good menu selection of coffees, bagels and sandwiches. Also a full bar with a couple TVs. Lots of seating both inside and outside and dog friendly outside. This looks like our new weekend spot! read more

Have been here a few times now and always enjoy the vibe. The bagel sandwiches are really tasty. Last time I was in I had one of the burritos for a change and wasn't disappointed. Nice place to talk and catch up with a friend- its not noisy and the outdoor area is great on a sunny day. Later in the afternoon you can grab a cocktail/beer since they have a full bar area. I'll be back. read more

My fiancé and I are on vacation visiting a friend, and while on a walk around this neighborhood of Sunnyside, CO we came across The Radiator. So glad we did. We popped in during happy hour and enjoyed draft beers and AMAZING BBQ nachos!!! The bartender was also so welcoming, letting us try the beer we were talking about having to make sure we would enjoy. Really hoping to make it back during our trip to try the coffee shop side of this spot!! read more

Service was attentive and helpful. Highly recommend giving a try and enjoying their nice patio! read more
