The portions were very generous and fairly priced. You order at the counter and they bring the food to you.

The inside is small but they make good use of the space with tightly packed tables and bar seating. On a weekday we had no trouble finding a seat. The uptown location had construction going on nearby which made the beautiful outdoor patio less ideal but was very quiet from inside. Free 2 hour parking along 18th Ave and side streets

I will be trying that next time. I'm convinced cooking the potatoes in duck fat and the chili oil made our stomachs happy. There are so many unique things here to try. This is a place I'll brave the parking again for!

Did someone say ceremonial Matcha? Hell to the yea!…read more I had bookmarked this place for our stay in Denver on our trek from California. We always like to scope out the best coffee spots ahead of time. Little Owl did not disappoint! First, it's always difficult to find ceremonial grade Matcha wherever you go. Most of the time it's Matcha mixed with a bunch of other stuff and at best it's culinary grade. The Matcha here was vibrant in color, smooth and slightly nutty. I elected to sweeten it with simple syrup and had it Americano. My husband opted for a vanilla latte with oat milk and while we've stopped at several places so far, this is the best latte we've had on our roadtrip. They make all of their syrups in house and the coffee was smooth and not bitter. The cafe is small and quaint. It does open up into a larger building with additional seating. Customer service was on point, and we even joked about the different types of Matcha and how some places use a ton of fillers and sugar.

Ordered: 12oz Vanilla Latte (~$7)…read more Aya's take: Little Owl Coffee has a few locations in Denver so I figured the coffee here must be good! I tried the Vanilla Latte which was nicely sweetened, creamy, and soothing. The espresso was pulled well and gave me the caffeine kick I needed to start my day. They have some bar seating here but the cafe also extends into the lobby where you can sit and have a slow morning if you choose. Good try!

My friend had the prosciutto fig and Bri sandwich, she absolutely loved it, it was too much to eat all of it so she took it home! But there is a but!

Conveniently located next to the City Park, this cafe is a prime spot for a quick pick me up if…read moreyou're nearby. I stopped for a Honey Rose iced latte before my stroll around the park, and was pleased by how flavorful it was. Service was quick, and luckily I got my drink before the morning Sunday rush I saw after me. The only downside was the price. Almost $8 for my medium drink, granted I opted for the $1 oat milk replacement instead of their typical whole milk. But the most surprising thing the pre-added "service charge" of 15% which the front register girl tried to hide on the screen when she turned it around to me for a signature. She initially showed me the screen without it, but then said she forgot something and added that to the tab. I think transparency with these forced gratuities/tips/charges would be great to prevent these surprise encounters, especially with to-go orders. Other than that, I do like the vibe of this place and would find it to be a good quick stop if you're craving a coffee or small bite.

Then, going back recently, there's always that fear that the quality or taste has gone down but it definitely did not! I love traditional Filipino flavors like ube and pandan but I've tried a lot of drinks that either overpower with flavor or lack it, but their flavors are just the right amount. The inside decor and overall ambiance are really nice, as well as the friendliness of the workers!

I got a ham and cheese croissant which was pretty good but a bit too charred after warming. There isn't much space inside to work and it does get pretty loud in there if you need quieter space.

The space is minority and women owned which is awesome as well!

My visit to Stowaway was a revelation. The best food I've had at a restaurant all year and maybe in…read moresome years. The kind of place that makes me want to revoke my 5-star reviews of other places or add a 6th star just for them. A meal that teaches you about flavor combinations you'd never thought of that are now your favorite. And this is very painful because I don't live or work in Denver and just happened upon this spot during a quick getaway. I had the bowl o' beans (I know!! but hear me out...), and for something seemingly simple, it had a complex deliciousness. The velvety, buttery beans and the earthy-sweet carrots got an edge from the herbaceous chermoula and dollops of pickled apricots that I'm still thinking about a few weeks later. It was served with a Pullman bread that was stellar on its own and the perfect vehicle for sopping up the broth. My friend and I also split the cornbread and peaches. This dish was my favorite thing I've eaten all year. Divine. The cornbread was well-balanced; not too sweet, and toasted in perhaps salted butter that gave it a fantastic crisp on the bottom. The savory notes were enhanced by toasty pecans and harmonized perfectly with dazzling local Palisade peaches. This ingenious combination was brought together with a delicious whipped crème fraiche. I am at once grateful that I got to eat this dish in my life and bereft that I may never eat it again. The atmosphere is bright, modern Southwest. The staff was extremely warm, welcoming, and helpful. Our main waitress heavily complimented the pastry chef when we raved about our food. It was heartwarming and made us happy that there is love and respect for the kitchen. If you have time for a meal in Denver, don't waste your chance anywhere before Stowaway. Go there for me.

We waited awhile hoping it would somehow resolve itself, then finally just drove there ourselves about 35 minutes later. Honestly? Worth it. I got the seasonal red velvet iced latte and it was genuinely one of the best dessert-style coffee drinks I've had in a long time. And I say that as someone who has been an off-and-on barista since my first Starbucks job in 1999. Sweet without being overwhelming, actually tasted intentional, and didn't just feel like syrup dumped into coffee. The shop itself is very clean, sunny, modern Denver coffee aesthetic with tons of seating if you want to stay awhile. Parking was also surprisingly easy between the street parking and the small paid lot next door.

Only qualm with this place is that it's quite pricey for a cup. $9.25 for a cup.

This most recent visit, my pastor brought our men's trip through here to gather before the new guys started their time here in Colorado. This place was busy! I got a hot coffee and a burrito. Unfortunately, the sandwich was sold out around mid-morning. I'm not sure where they get the burritos, they come pre-packaged and get pressed till hot and crispy. Once my food was up, we all gathered upstairs in an outdoor patio area. The narrow staircase leads you to two small, cozy areas to enjoy your food and beverage. Since we were a bigger group, we took our place outside. The burrito was excellent. Soft eggs, potatoes and cheese. It was filling and hit the spot.

The winner for me was the tuna bun, it had a great texture in the bread and really flavorful tuna mixture. There is plenty of seating and outlets for work purposes. Staff is friendly and helpful!

The ube latte was perfectly sweet with a strong ube flavor. The crème brûlée cruffin had a top that was so crispy from the toasted sugar that I couldn't cut into it, and the bottom was just stuffed full of cream. It was super messy to eat and impossible to share- next time I am getting my own. We also had the pandan coconut cupcake, which was good but not as exciting as the cruffin. The pandan and coconut were both equally strong flavors- I liked it better than my husband did. The Thai tea cake in a cup was also excellent, but outshone by the cruffin. They were out of a few other things we wanted to try by 11am on a Saturday, so get there early if you want something specific. The gentleman running the counter was very friendly and efficient, even when they were busy. Seriously, get the crème brûlée cruffin. I know I will be back for it.

My girlfriend was taking a class nearly across the street, so I thought I'd check it out. I was disappointed that they've apparently stopped making crêpe cakes as that was a favorite. There were none in the case and they're no longer mentioned on the Web site. Alas. However, there were lots of interesting items on display. I selected a Strawberry Croissant, a Chocolate Cupcake, and one of the cake cups: Ube Tres Leches Milk Cake. I'd never seen anything like that last item before. The strawberry croissant is filled with fresh strawberries and vanilla cream. I was worried that it might be soggy, but it was crispy, flaky and very tasty. The frosting on the cupcake was chocolate-flavored chantilly cream. This was heavenly. Absolutely perfect. I never contemplated ube plus tres leches. There is a traditional Vietnamese version (ha, you Latin purists!) that uses the flavors of Vietnamese iced coffee, but ube is a new approach. The number of different cultures involved here is making my head spin, but the result was delightful, of course. A mini cake in a paper ice cream cup is also a great idea. More substantial and easier to eat than a cupcake, but still a good snack for one person. Service was prompt, friendly, and helpful. The business faces Colfax Avenue. There's street parking plus a large, free parking lot behind the building. There are a number of tables if you can't wait to get your purchases home and a variety of drinks including Vietnamese coffee, a full espresso bar, tea, and lemonade. Bánh mi and other breakfast and lunch sandwiches are available plus rice bowls. I really enjoyed my purchases. Downtown Aurora is a bit of a drive for me, but I definitely need to make the trip more often.
