Casual, comfort-style food. Fun atmosphere. A Denver institution. There is often a line, but worth the wait. If you are worried about your waistline, this is not the place for you.

Delicious pastries and coffee; breakfast sandwiches that are reasonably priced. Lots of light and healthy menu options. Unusual and interesting sandwich choices for lunch. The only downside is that you have to pay for parking as it's located on a college campus.

Terrific breakfast and lunch menu. My goal is to one day try every item on the menu... they have a large selection of sweet and savory options. Don't miss the crepes! This place is reasonably priced, but crowded on weekends; expect to wait in line.

Essentials
This is the closest grocery store, but probably the least nice in terms of cleanliness and selection. There are other options, but if you need something quick, this is within walking distance.

Sightseeing
I've always wanted to go on the tour but it's hard to get tickets. You have to reserve them well in advance of your trip.
