    A local gem that provides a welcoming homey atmosphere with good pastries and coffee. Love all the art and plants around the cafe. Service was super nice as well. I ordered a pumpkin iced latte and a cheese danish. It was delicious!

    How I've never been here before is beyond me! This place is terrific. The customer service is amazing, the food was delish, and the coffee was phenomenal. They have a nice outdoor area or inside seating with some nice A/C (very essential with this current heatwave) I loved my turkey Panini, I really liked that they serve a Clementine as a side with it. The coffee was one of the best cups I've had in Denver for sure. I can't wait to come back and try more of the menu!

    Local hidden cafe in the Whittier neighborhood . Lots Available street parking . Nice patio seating & a dog friendly designated section . Quaint cafe offering coffee, sandwiches, salads & icecream . I tried a Snickers iced latte . Coffee was great & made just as i asked . Friendly service with a smile is a plus also !!

    Located in the Whittier neighborhood, this coffee shop has a little bit of everything to satisfy everyone's palate. PLUS--they're the only African Espresso Bar in Denver and proudly call themselves "The Activist's Coffee Shop" because of their strong belief in social justice and community support. What I tried: Cold Brew with a splash of oat milk Iced Latte with oat milk Cranberry Scone Turkey Avocado Cheese Panini Best bites: Loved the latte--it's my usual go-to, and they did it right! The panini was fantastic, with such a classic combo of flavors. Definitely coming back to try the burrito next! If you haven't been, check them out!

    A great spot for a coffee and breakfast with friends! We loved the vibe and outdoor seating. I had a golden milk latte that was so good, really rich earthy flavor. My sisters got burritos that were perfect. The staff were friendly and the service was quick.

    Drip coffee, Americano with almond milk, blueberry lemon loaf

    There was a calming vibe here. We got a regular drip with cream, an Americano with almond milk, a blueberry lemon loaf, and a spinach burrito. Everything was so good. The coffee was smooth. A nice place to start your morning or to stop in for brunch. Very inviting.

    Stopped by to meet a friend here and was pleasantly surprised at how lovely this coffee shop is! It's cozy and welcoming. The patio is glorious! The service and coffee were good! A great spot to get some work done, relax or enjoy a book!

    A wonderful Neighborhood Place to relax and share time with friends and community. Love the coffee selection. And I especially love the owners!

    Breakfast burrito

    It's close to my house and was excited to check it out. I was a bit disappointed. I was treated with a death stare when I walked in, which isn't great for digestion. The prices are decent but the burrito was dry and looked like it had been run over by __________ (fill in the blank).

So as I wandered into this corner eatery with nothing in my body and soul I was so delighted to find u had a turn it fortune. The sandwich, the Kali, was all that was promised and more.

Clover took amazing care of new and made sure that I was able to enjoy my sandwich in peace. I was supposed to be meeting a colleague here to get my phone and wallet but they never showed. The cherry on top of the already shitty sundae. As i scrambled to get my cash together Clover had already taken care of it. It was truly one of those moments that took my breathy away and I do not know how to thank her. Amazing food, great drinks, but mind blowing service. Kindness it truly does go a long way.

The meat was sliced well, and the giardiniera peppers cut through richness of all the different meats which was perfect. Wasn't the fastest service ever, but that's to be expected here. I liked the cashier and the casual dive-ish vibe the restaurant had. Would come back!

Great Staff, very friendly and opened to give suggestions on food. BEST Sweet Potato Fries I've ever had! The sandwich of the day was the Perfect Spicy Crispy Chicken Sandwich like no other...with so much flavor. My husband had a breakfast burrito and said it was the best burrito he's had in his life!

    Outstanding chicken sandwiches in the mountains, dubbed America's highest fried chicken…read more I was on a men's trip and we were staying near Fairplay. We stopped here twice. Both times I ordered their Original Chicken sandwich. Each time we visited, it was busy. Limited parking, a line, sparse seating. The staff was friendly and attentive, personable and calm under pressure. The orders kept coming and they kept steady hands on the fryers pumping out consistently good food. This chicken sandwich was the best I've had. Large, all white meat, quality chicken. It was perfectly fried with a thinner breading. It didn't over power the meat but complemented it. The only topping this sandwich needs is pickles. They were thicker than normal, fresh, crunchy and juicy. The honey butter and fresh toasted bun rounded it all out. The side of fries were good too, crunchy and flavorful. If you're near Fairplay and looking for a good meal, go here. I'd go back.
