Food Scene
This shop is a staple in the neighborhood. We think they have the best lattes and burritos. Burritos sell out really fast, so don't even try after 11am!

Ok. Denver icon restaurant that has an amazing DJ on Sundays. So in one section there's families enjoying a delicious brunch, and in another there's tattooed hipsters throwing down huge blood orange mimosas and everybody is listening to 80's & 90's music.
