Thanksgiving special!
Argentina F.

We finally found a Guatemalan restaurant and it didn't disappoint! Hours are Monday through Saturday 7 AM - 8 PM (with kitchen closing at 7 PM) Also open on Sunday 7 AM - 7 PM (with kitchen closing at 6 PM) They are also doing Thanksgiving specials (for at home dining) and will also be open on Thanksgiving day! Has a little bread bakery and also a central American supermarket! It's a sit down restarant but you order and pay at counter and you get a little number to which they'll deliver the food to you! *credit card does have a 3% surcharge* We tried: - Tapa Chapina $26.99 (almost like a sampler platter) This was almost like a Sampler Platter, it contained 1 chuchito, 1 chipilin, 2 chicken empanadas, 2 garnachas, 1 rellenito and 2 tostadas (1 beef/1 curtido) -Caldo de Gallina Was a broth with potatoes and carrots and greens with some rice on the side, half an avacado, tortillas, lime and your selection of either leg or breast! Amazing and glad we finally found this place! Definitely recommend to anyone wanting to try Guatemalan or just some good food! We will be back!

A co-worker of mine is from Guatemala and recommended this small restaurant with adjacent grocery store on east Colfax just west of Havana St. I googled them. It appears to be the only Guatemalan restaurant in Colorado. The menu boards are in Spanish, but their website provides photos and English ingredients. You order at the counter, get your soft drinks (no alcohol) and a table sign. The order taker, Paola C. said it would be 20-30 minutes since everything is prepared fresh. I ordered the Tapa Chapina combo plate for $24.99 and a Guatemalan hot dog called Shucos for $ 9.99 + a Mandarin Jarritos. The Shucos came out first. It was much bigger than a U.S. or Korean version of a hot dog. It had lots of meat (asada, chorizo, al pastor, longaniza (skinless sausage)) with cabbage and dressing. A meal in itself. I ate it all!! About 10 minutes later, the female chef brought out the Tapa Chapina on a large platter. I instantly knew I could not eat it all. I got 2 tostadas with curtido (slightly fermented cabbage) and beef. I got 2 garnachas, a street version of mini crunchy tortillas with various toppings. My had chicken & cabbage. Two chicken empanadas with salsa. A churchito, a pork filled tamale cooked in banana leaves and a chipilin, a corn masa dish with chipilin leaves also cooked in a banana leaf. The tamale was larger than the Mexican version and the Chipilin leaves tasted similar to spinach. I took home the 2 tostadas and the chicken empanadas . No cheese other than dry queso. They have plastic utensils but eco friendly takeout packages. The small grocery store has a cooler case of fresh cheeses, canned fruit juices, various cooking beans and dry items, cookies, fresh bread and pastries + an expansive rack of spices and herbs.

LOVE this place! I always get the pupusa. Great place to also get Hispanic treats I can't get anywhere else. Idk what Miriam's(aka Karen) review is talking about. I have never gotten sick from this food...ever. And also don't go to a specialty store with imported goods and expect walmart prices. Like...anyways. I love the Salvadorian coffee they sell. They deserve 5 stars! Also very kind staff.

Do not walk, RUN to this bakery. If you are looking for something new and delicious, you will not…read morebe disappointed. The standouts were the ube latte and the crème brûlée cruffin. 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.

I hadn't been to this cute and interesting (Vietnamese-French fusion!) bakery for quite a while…read more(looked it up: wow, four years--time flies). 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.

Some places are so good that you forget to leave a review and take pictures because you're too busy…read moreenjoying the food. That perfectly describes La Fillette. We've dined inside before, but yesterday we stopped in to pick up pastries and were reminded why this is one of our favorite bakeries in Denver. We grabbed an éclair, a blueberry muffin, and two ham and Swiss croissants. Every single thing was outstanding. The croissants are incredibly flaky and buttery with the perfect ratio of ham and Swiss, the blueberry muffin was moist without being overly sweet, and the éclair disappeared embarrassingly fast. We always have every intention of taking pictures... and then we take one bite and completely forget. That's probably the best compliment we can give. We loved sitting inside, which is intimate, cozy but still roomy. We are looking forward to sitting outside in their patio space. Staff are also exceptional!

We were visiting Denver for Labor Day weekend and obviously we needed to find good breakfast spots…read more La Fillette was highly recommended. The place was modest and quirky, with a random small chandelier adorning this bakery. Families, groups of friends, and cyclists were in the mix of patrons on a Saturday morning. All servers were very friendly, helpful with dish descriptions, and fast! The ham and cheese croissant and a shared cinnamon bun was in the cards. The pastry was flakey, buttery, and very tasty. The sesame, roasted onion and garlic sprinkled on top of the pastry was delightful. The warm cheese and ham inside were also good. The cinnamon bun was a nice mix of croissant and cinnamon bun; also flaky and buttery. I am guessing flakey, soft, and buttery is their signature! One minor thing, that coffee was not good, but the food made up for it. Overall, this was a very nice place that got us interested in all the pastries with that buttery flavor. For sure a recommend for visitors and locals.

It's inside a church. Don't drive past the church trying to find it…read more Once inside Milly's has a classic kitchy indy coffee shop decor - vintage furniture, eclectic decor, the works. Coffee and food are fantastic. The omelet roll is tasty and the cinnamon roll tastes homemade (and good, to be clear. ) They also make a quality flat white.

Such a home-y vibe!…read more It's inside of a church! I was driving a friend from Centennial to Aurora and this place was perfectly on the way. Literally nothing much else around AT ALL. It was a SINGLE pin on my google map - no pins near it at all! I must have pinned this at some point as "a place to go to sometime when in the area" but I really can't remember pinning it and am not sure why I would pin a coffee shop located in a church! However! This is the second coffee shop that I've seen in Denver while driving by - like located as part of a massive church, so it was interesting to actually be checking it out. It was a weekday and there was a vast parking lot and there were like 4 cars. LOTS of parking! Once inside, I immediately relaxed! Didn't even know I was tense! There was so much to look at and it smelled so good inside. Couldn't quite put my finger on it. Something baked tho. My eyes wandered everywhere over the various retail areas, the furniture - couches to patio furniture, the people behind the counter, the various large chalkboards, menus, etc. Lots to look at. I wound up getting a spicy chai! I never order chai! I must have been under some strange spell from being immersed in the warm comforting baked goods aroma! The spicy chai had KICK! It was so good that I ordered a second one to go! My friend ordered that ham+cheese biscuit which looked amazing, with those cheese legs dripping! Whoa! It was such a nice coffee + conversation vibe. I would totally go again if I am ever in that area again! Oh! The 2 behind the counter were very friendly and knowledgeable about their vast variety of menu and drink items!

Overall, the cake tasted good and was light enough for our asian parents to enjoy. Also very easy…read moreto place my order over text. Docking a few stars for the following reasons: - I asked for fresh strawberries and blueberries for the filling, but there was barely any fruit inside... - Cake design was nothing like i had ordered. I actually didn't notice how odd the design was until i got home and put the cake topper on (see photo) Maybe just go with a simple design. Lastly, don't try to pick up your cake earlier than the scheduled time. First time I've experienced a cake not being made earlier than scheduled pickup--I must be spoiled. I came by 2 hrs early (at 11am) when my pickup was at 1. They were still making the cake and said to come by 1. She mentioned they get backed up on weekends and don't have a lot of staff, so I get it. Came by at 2 just to make sure it was done. Just want to call that out; don't come earlier than your scheduled pickup time.

Called in on a Friday to see if I can get a cake on Saturday night for my birthday party. I ordered…read morethe green tea fruit cake to be picked up after 4 PM on Saturday, and it was perfect! Not too sweet, proportionate cream to bread ratio, and the fruits were fresh. On another occasion, this bakery also did my sister's birthday cake which was requested ahead of time with a specific aesthetic in mind (picture attached, name scribbled out for privacy sake). Again, it was perfect! The inside of the store is pretty typical, has Korean pastries and even offers shaved ice. But as we all know, it's the inside that counts ;)
