What a cool place! Ambiance is somewhat minimalistic - clean, white but still cozy. Service and staff was exceptionally warm, friendly and inviting. My son had his new Rottweiler puppy, and they immediately welcomed us into the dining area, providing treats and a bowl of water. The staff took turns with the puppy; the morning was getting started, so besides one other guest, we were the only ones there and that would quickly change! Order and pay at the counter and sit down at a single row of tables down one side of the space. We tried the Chilaquiles and Farmer's Burrito. Chilaquiles looked small but was quite filling in the end. Crisp tortilla chips, a perfectly poached egg, and a spicy, tart salsa verde. The Farmer's burrito was huge; my son said it was great. It had a lot of the cabbage slaw in it and a sweet flavor which was not his favorite, his two negative comments about the burrito. I had the iced cafe de olla which was delicious with hints of cinnamon and citrus. We also had a Bloody Mary made from a spicy house mix,and it was also quite good. Overall, I would come for the service alone. The food is bonus over the top. read more

Honestly stunned at the popularity of this place. I went with my fiancé and we both got the farmers burrito which seemed to be the consensus favorite on yelp. Well we paid 10+ dollars each for a burrito that is mostly cabbage and cucumber. I couldn't taste any of the eggs and my fiancé said he couldn't taste any of the chicken that he paid extra for. Good for Hoja for figuring out that if you have an "instagramable" restaurant that poses as Mexican you can charge absurd prices for food that is really not good. Like I just had chunks of cucumber in my burrito? Like some slices are good but that shouldn't be the main ingredient. The coffee was good though, and the drinks we saw other people getting did look cool. read more

I love this little cafe off Pearl. It's really cute, kind of feels like it belongs in LA, with tons of natural light. The breakfast burrito is massive and has so many fun ingredients. Also, they do an iced coffee with orange that is so strange but so good. read more

Incredible food. We had a couple breakfast burritos, one vegan and one non-vegan and each were delicious! The beautiful plants don't hurt either! Can't wait to come back! read more

This place is awesome with an adorable patio. Ben, the owner, made it a point to come to our table and ask if we were happy. They have delicious tinga chicken burritos and chilaquiles. We'll definitely be back! read more

This place feels right out of Mexico City! Perfect coffee shop vibes (cacti everywhere!), authentic Mexican flavors but with a light/refreshing twist. I got really excited to see plenty of options as someone who loves Mexican food but needs to keep it dairy-free. My favorites have included the classic breakfast burrito and the chicken tinga salad. Also the coffee is from Chiapas, MX and it's tasty They have a small dining room but a large, covered & heated patio space. One of my favorites in the neighborhood! read more

Breakfast burritos have to be one of my all-time favorite foods and I am always on the lookout for new places that are vegetarian and vegan friendly. I was really excited when I saw Hoja pop up (about a year ago), thanks to Yelp! While they do serve traditional breakfast burritos, they also offer a really great tofu scramble, and jackfruit chorizo. Top it off with some avocado, and it is the bomb dot com! When the dining room is open and functioning, it is very intimate, only seating about 15 people so sometimes it is difficult to find a table. Luckily they have a really cute patio out back that probably sits another 15 or so. I have done a couple pickups in the last couple of months, and the food quality is still superb. Food is made to order, with fresh and thoughtful ingredients. Their menu is small, but does change, so check it out online. Think burritos, salads, bowls, small plates and alcoholic beverages. Help keep this small business around during difficult times! read more

HOJA - Iced (Oat Milk) Matcha Latte. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Denver, Colorado

was so excited to try this place out bc of the vegan options. also the rating they have made it an obvious choice. maybe this is one of the various restaurants that's quickly declining because of the COVID-19 pandemic. we did an order for pickup and got home to a disaster. just by the look of the iced almond chai online, it looked like there was actually coffee in there. but i guess not? all milk. unwrapped 3 layers of foil to get to 2 disappointingly disgusting, inedible burritos. drowned in oil. mushy. falling apart. sloppy. i can't even get myself to taste it. there's at least a cup of oil in here. $60 wasted. please do yourself a favor and save your money!! read more

Needs an open sign. Bad. Passed this place like 30 times thinking it was closed until it dawned on me, and I saw someone inside.

If I could give this place more stars I would!! Amazing food, super fresh, unique (to Denver), colorful and flavorful. The cafe is super cute with great light and lots of plants. Amazing drinks and a super friendly staff. A great alternative for healthy eaters not wanting greasy spoon type brunch food. The avocado tostadas was everything as was, well, everything my husband and I ordered! read more

Got takeout there for the first time yesterday and I am so happy to have found an excellent vegan spot in Wash Park. I had the vegan breakfast burrito and it was sooo good. Can't recommend enough :) read more

Very cute and unassuming spot. Food was unique, healthy and really tasty. Cute back patio to enjoy breakfast and wonderful service. read more

HOJA - The Farmer's Burrito - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Denver, Colorado

food was SO good, the ambiance was super nice and the service was sooo friendly. i would go there again!

Farmer breakfast burrito is the best breakfast burrito I've had in years. I little on the spicy side but just right for me. Travels well as take out. Incredible baked goods too! read more

Amazing love coming to eat here. If you're debating it, don't. Just enjoy the experience and some really tasty food!

Order online before we headed over. Once we got there (maybe 30 minutes later) our order was on the table waiting. The burritos were warm and perfect hand held burritos for the car ride. The chocolate chip biscotti was so good - the perfect crunchy and chewy texture. The Cafe De Olla is a MUST. read more

Excellent food is to be had in this small, humble restaurant. Friendly service. Great atmosphere. Chilaquiles (to die for - best I have had since CDMX) and the Café De Olla coffee was totally worth every penny. Glad I discovered it and I absolutely recommend this place. ¡Viva HOJA! read more

HOJA - Dislike OJ but wanted a sparkly breakfast drink. Staff was nice enough to offer a grapefruit mimosa, in lieu of the classic OJ. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Denver, Colorado

The only reason I'm giving 4 stars instead of 5 is that I thought the prices were a touch high for the portion size. The food was excellent and the iced cafe de olla made my whole day! Very cute cozy place with a fun vibe. read more

CUTEST little cafe with healthy options! My boyfriend and I stopped here after stumbling upon it and we saw they recently opened back up and had to go in. The staff was very friendly and helpful the whole time. The food was fresh and delicious! We both got the breakfast burrito with avocado mash and the drinks looked amazing but it was a bit early for alcohol. We'll definitely be back! read more

I'm obsessed with this place! The decor inside and outside are gorgeous. There are tons of options to switch up ingredients to make things vegan, gluten free, etc. I had a quesadilla on my first visit, and vegan chilaquiles on my second visit...both perfectly cooked and incredible! I even got a vegan chocolate chip banana bread to go, which was probably the best banana bread I've ever tasted. The staff is so sweet and welcoming (they had a guava mimosa at my table about 2 minutes after I arrived, as I waited for a friend...yum!)...this is a place you'll want to keep coming back to. Hopefully they open a downtown location! read more

Service was great, the ambiance was nice and I enjoy supporting small businesses but I didn't actually find the food to live up to expectations based on all the positive reviews this place gets (Google reviews give it a 4.9 average!). Also, it is $$ -- not worth the money. The chili was alright (not much flavor) and the Veggie Bowl grain mix seemed chilled and had this gross mayo-like dressing. The best part of the meal was the paloma with house-squeezed grapefruit juice. Not sure if it was covid-related but I wouldn't come back here for food. read more

This place is amazing. It has a small menu but after trying a half dozen items, they are all delicious. Who knew spicy cucumbers and peanuts would be so good!! A cute little cafe open for breakfast and lunch also has a great cocktail list! A must try! read more

This is a restaurant that is attempting to do something different and I appreciate that so much. We ordered the Farmer's Burrito and the Avocado tostadas (which were recommended). The sauce on the burrito was delicious and the amount of avocado they put on the tostadas is very satisfying (most restaurants skimp). There were a couple of flavors I wasn't crazy about but appreciated....like pickled broccoli stalks (!!)...not my favorite flavor, but I certainly appreciate using all parts of a vegetable, so kudos. The slaw in the burrito was a little odd too, but I can't determine whether I mean that positively or negatively. The portions are large and satisfying. The space is beautifully decorated (I believe the owner's wife is responsible). The woman that served us was super friendly and kind and even showed us where they're planning to have a back patio when it gets warm. All in all was a very good experience, and I would go back. read more

Such a cute little spot hidden on pearl street! Has a lovely little backyard patio space! Service is great and you can see the food is made with love! Everything looks delicious. We only tried the Mexican latte and it was so unique. Can't wait to go back for food! read more

This is our weekly weekend breakfast/brunch spot. The food kicks ass, the owner is awesome, and the ambiance is ~chef's kiss~. They offer a ton of vedge forward foods that are flavorful and interesting. 10/10 would recommend. read more

Tiny but adorable restaurant. I stopped here quick to order breakfast to go as I was in The area. I ordered the Farmer's burrito. It was unlike any breakfast burrito I've had before. Unique and delicious. Looking forward to returning and trying more items. read more

Tried Hoja on Mother's Day for brunch take out! It was very good. I had the posole which was very tasty. I look forward to trying it in person when the restaurant is able to reopen. read more

Hoja is such a sweet little gem of a restaurant. Went here for brunch and could not have had a better meal. We shared a matcha latte and a cold brew Mexican spice coffee drink- both excellent, a farmers burrito (packed with good veggies, yummy slaw and a little spicy drizzle) and matzo ball soup. And some baked goods for brunch dessert. The whole restaurant is just beautiful- light and airy with plants everywhere and such thoughtful touches. We can't wait to return and support this neighborhood cafe! read more

Lol NO. Very weird offering for a vegan "breakfast burrito", it was scrambled tofu and a salad in a cold wrap. Nobody wants cucumbers in their tofu scramble. read more

Fantastic spot. Back patio is lovely in the spring. I have celiac and they were very careful about cross contamination and making sure the cooks knew. Food is fresh and light, good balance between filling and not too heavy. Priced right. Definitely going back, love recommending it to my friends. read more

Just wanted to leave another review after being blown away by Hoja yet again. The food is incredible and the staff is hardworking and kind. A small mistake was made in my order and our server promptly remade our order and refunded us. This type of service is what keeps me coming back to Hoja again and again. Plus the delicious food doesn't hurt :) read more

We fell in love with this place when it was just the base camp food truck we'd see at the farmers market. Ben, the owner, truly cares about flavor and quality. His brick and mortar restaurant is slamming good. Everything here is amazing! read more

Update - sounds like this place doesn't take criticism very well. Ben susnick replies disrespectfully to anyone who exposes their poor customer service and quality lacking food. Surprising considering how "microscopically small" you are. I would think you can't afford to be losing business over your bad attitude read more

Wash Park win! This quaint counter-top order spot has simplistic style but complex flavor combos in their drinks AND their food. Left satisfied but not heavy. Sitting out on their burlap-shaded patio felt like an escape to a private B&B. Sweet staff and definitely a spot to return to! read more

While on vacation, we checked out the S Pearl Farmers Market (highly recommend) and then came across Hoja (pronounced oh-ha). Everything about this restaurant is five stars. The bright white, minimalist decor with gorgeous greenery, the menu that offers variety, yet is not overwhelming, and a backyard area with outdoor seating. I shared two dishes with a friend and recommend both: matzo ball soup and farmer's burrito (added avocado and jackfruit). We also shared a Bloody Mary (extra spicy), which was good, although we could barely finish it. Bottom line: eat here (non-vegans, like myself, can fully enjoy). read more

Great food, great atmosphere, great staff. The breakfast burrito is amazing and if you need a little mothers love try the matzah ball soup.

The vegan rojo chili is amazing in flavor. The breakfast burrito to go was good. Black ice tea, not the hibiscus ice tea, tastes a little strange. Perfect place for warm food on a cold day. Suggest they expand menu with an omelette and not raise prices. read more

LITERALLY can't get enough of this place. You can tell they put so much thought into the space and the menu. The food is frickin' delicious and the fact that they have great accommodations for vegans makes my heart smile. Also the CAFE DE OLLA is so good too. Honestly everything I've tried or my non-vegan friends have tried has not disappointed. 10/10 would recommend. read more

I went here with my friend today, and we were both very impressed! The staff were very friendly and made us feel at home, even though it was our first visit. The service was quick, and the food was excellent (we ordered the Matso ball soup and the Farmer's burrito). It was satiating but not greasy and unhealthy. The atmosphere was also wonderful. I would definitely recommend this Cafe when you're in the wash park area. read more
