Deep in the hip RiNo neighborhood. Crema is a very cool spot that circulates their suppliers, so on any given day you could be drinking Panther (Miami), Intelligentsia (Chicago), or Stumptown (Portland). Great coffee here and a nice slice of Denver.

Have you ever heard of Detroit style pizza? We hadn't before having Blue Pan, and are total converts. This from a pizza-loving couple that moved from NYC and Chicago! Also a great excuse to check out the residential but very nice Highland neighborhood.
