My all-time FAVORITE lunch spot in all of Denver. I always feel like I'm stepping into an authentic Italian cafe every time I go. Also, the folks who work there are always super fun and friendly. It's also so good that my fiance brings a lot of his clients here for meetings each week. The Bothai is the best sandwich and best part is, they have tons of gluten free options! The GF bread is so good, I had to go back up and make sure my sandwich wasn't on regular bread. 10/10 would recommend. To me, this is a restaurant staple in Denver. read more

Maci Cafe - Bothai Sandwich on Gluten Free Bread. Proscuitto, fig spread, arugula, and goat cheese = heaven. - Cafes Near Me - Denver, Colorado

Great food and atmosphere, as well as fast service. The hurry panini is scrumptious, highly recommend.

Cute neighborhood place with outdoor seating. A nice place to come with a friend, sit, and enjoy some very delicious coffee. Made me feel like I was in Europe. Had the iced coffee, but need to go back and try an espresso. Prices are reasonable! read more

THE SANDWICHES ARE 10/10. Want to go back every day and crave them regularly. Want to go back to try more.

If you want a dry, small, sandwich for $12 this is your spot. Breakfast burrito is eggs in a small tortilla for $8. Next to no sausage in the one I got. Went to try it out living nearby. Very disappointed. read more

This place is always on point! Great variety on freshly baked goods, quiches, gluten free, kombucha, paninis, coffee and so much more!! I tried the nitro coffee and Boy was I glad! It's smooth, clean and has enough richness just to satisfy the palette. I'm no coffee Conniseur, but it satisfies my craving for a nice dark roast coffee. It pours like a Guinness so IGers pull out your cameras for that slomo. Sadly I didn't catch it in time. Got the quiche and it's always made right to fill me up. There's a few tables and chairs outside to enjoy the nice weather too. read more

This cute little cafe has a variety of beverages, salads and sandwiches. Everything was has came out in about 7 minutes and was delicious. The service is friendly and they have a nice indoor and outdoor seating area. It's conveniently located close to REI if you're in the area. read more

This is my go to breakfast spot when I lived in Denver. It's such a petite restaurant, but wow the food is so good. We like to sit outside and enjoy our breakfast. Love this place! read more

Awesome prosciutto sandwich (called Hurry but I was in no hurry whatsever as his sandwich was delicious). Christy and Annie were fabulous and very down to earth/personable and you can tell many regulars frequent this joint as they were in first name basis with many of the patrons. If I lived nearby, I'd be here every day! It's the little things, like offering a gigantic glass for water when every other coffee shop provides what seems to be a shot glass, just to get the patron to pay for a bottle. Love this place! read more

Maci Cafe - Cafes Near Me - Denver, Colorado

This place is amazing. My boyfriend and I are now addicted and come back every weekend to try a new panini! Love their little outdoor patio.

Love this cafe and lucky to live nearby. The staff is great and the food/coffee is amazing! Favorite breakfast sandwich is the terriano :)

Great but tiny sandwiches! I would order two but than it would be a $24 sandy still 5 stars cuz the sandwich was dank

Consistently the best. My husband and I lived in LoHi 2 years ago and this was a go-to spot for breakfast & lunch (they close at 3). We just came back to Denver for a visit and got our favorite sandwiches (the Angi and the Crudello (add balsamic mayo)) and they haven't changed one bit. Go and treat yourself to a delicious sandwich! read more

Don't let the tables and chairs fool you, just got kicked out for sitting down to enjoy my coffee and donut. Could have been told a nicer way instead of, "you know we don't do indoor dining, right?" by the girl behind the counter. 9 months pregnant wanting a treat because I was early before an appt. Thanks. read more

One of my favorite spots in LoHi! They have a diverse menu with a bunch of healthy options. Their bagels are unmatched! I would also love to buy their homemade pasta to cook. Truly a hidden gem for breakfast or lunch. read more

Great customer service! Good iced matcha latte. Slightly overpriced bagel but breakfast sandwiches were decent. Needed sauces to make them tasty. I wish they had more gluten-free (corn tacos or gluten free bread) options in their breakfast menu. This place had a fun vibe, the employees were masked, and we were able to sit outdoors. It is definitely worth another visit! read more

This place is special. I wandered in here while I was killing time before an appointment, as the cold weather had me craving soup. I was immediately feeling warm and fuzzy based on the way the woman working the counter greeted me, which was really friendly and welcoming. I inquired about their soup selection, and she did a good job at explaining what the soup that day was like. I asked for a cup, and parked nearby. At first I was thinking it was taking a minute more than I expected. Usually there's just a vat in the back, or they stick a pre-prepared soup in the microwave, but soon I saw who I assume was the owner slowly heating up the soup in a pot on the stove. I loved this! At a place this small and with this many options, it is not crazy to have soup pre-made, and I thought it was lovely that he was taking the time on a busy day to slowly heat the soup to make sure it was delicious. When it was set in front of me, I was delighted to find it was amazing. I was reading a book on my phone, so appeared a bit disengaged, but the owner took the time to come over and explain that his friend prepares this soup, and asked if I wanted sriracha. Anyone who knows me knows that I have a full body sriracha suit, and would put it on anything, so I was thrilled! Sriracha was just the ticket to take this soup to the next level, as was the owner going out of his way to make sure I was eating the best version of the soup I could be. Later, I noticed a little girl run behind the counter to give him a hug, and saw how genuinely delighted he was to see her. I figured it may be a relation, but after observing the interactions between the owner, the girl, and her mother, it seemed like they may just be regulars. He then wandered to her table when things calmed down so she could excitedly show him videos on her phone. Another man began leaving, and the owner made sure to let him know he still had his book, and would be returning it soon. I have never really seen interactions like this in the city, especially in the super trendy and popular Highlands. This owner knew almost everyone in the shop (and it was pretty busy for a random mid-day), and everyone loved him. It makes sense, he took the time to speak with me and offer me sriracha when I was completely unwelcoming and absorbed in my phone. The magic of this place is in the ownership. There are a lot of cafes, and even though my soup was amazing, there's a lot of good soup. The thing that will make this cafe a staple is the amazing warmth of the staff. It was like a small neighborhood spot in a giant city. I left raving about it to my husband, and telling him I couldn't wait to come back and try it with him, knowing he would love it. Never change, Maci! What you have is so magical. read more

This spot is great! We had both gluten free and regular egg sandwiches and they were delicious! Will definitely come back. Quality food and a variety of options. read more

I live down the street and have been coming here 1-2x per week for the past 5 years. I love the food, but won't be returning often due to negative experiences with the staff. If Massimo (the owner) isn't in expect bad service. read more

We eat here every Saturday. The veggie breakfast burrito is the bomb. Massimo & his staff are lovely. Most of the people who frequent this place are neighbors and everyone is friendly. People complaining on here should go to Starbucks where they belong thx read more

I love this little Italian cafe! They have incredible paninis for lunch and delicious coffee in the morning. It's a funky style inside with brick walls and colorful art hanging. It's small inside with just three small tables and a bar, but there's a large patio outside. The staff is friendly! I live in the neighborhood and am making this my go-to coffee. read more

Delicious coffee, friendly service, nice vibes...feels very Italian inside and has a few tables outside. I definitely look forward to returning to try some food as it all looked delicious! read more

Maci Cafe - Tasty cold brew with coconut milk and a taster of the nitro cold brew - Cafes Near Me - Denver, Colorado

The people who work here don't have a CLUE. I came in on a quiet morning ,wasn't busy, and simply ordered two sesame bagels, cream cheese on the side. The man at the counter kept asking for clarification but finally it seemed he got it. I sat down under the assumption he was preparing my simple order. I sat waiting holding my credit card thinking I'd pay when the order was ready. I sat there for about 10 min when a woman from the back says "I'm ready to take your order" I politely said "he's helping me already thank you" to which the man replied "I don't have an order for you. It was too complicated so I didn't make it". TWO BAGELS W CREAM CHEESE ON THE SIDE IS TOO COMPLICATED? I SAT THERE LIKE A SHMUCK WAITING FOR AN ORDER THAT THIS BOZO COULDN'T COMPREHEND OR COMMUNICATE HE WASN'T MAKING. Unbelievable. I'd give 0 stars if I could. How can you run a business when you give up on a simple order and keep someone sitting there waiting without saying anything. Ps the baked goods looked dry af Don't waste your time here but if you insist I recommend speaking slowly with simple sentences. read more

Great little place to stop for coffee and treats! I stopped here while wondering around LoHi on a hot afternoon and it hit the spot! I needed something cold and strong and the barista suggested their cold brew. I'm not quite a hipster so I haven't hopped on the cold brew train yet but that with a touch of cream and one pump mint syrup was perfection. They have a nice little patio where you can enjoy a drink, salad, sandwich, what have you. Plus the owner is a paisano so I like to think I'm supporting my people (plus Italians know how to make a mean macchiato), I will definitely be back next time I'm in LoHi. read more

Maci Cafe - Portobello Sandwich - Cafes Near Me - Denver, Colorado

Really delicious coffee! Also had the breakfast sandwich with veggie cream cheese, egg and smoked salmon. Something I would totally order at another place and get a weird look lol happy they had it on the menu. Not too crowded in the morning. read more

So stinking good! Small little hole in the wall cafe with a great menu. I got the egg, avocado and roasted red peppers on a Kaiser roll. I ate it before I took a picture! Simple and delish and the price was fair for the quality. If I lived in this neighborhood, I'd be here every weekend. They also have a great beverage selection- both bottled and what they make in the store. read more

This may not be a fair review for which I didn't want to put down star ratings but Yelp forced me to... I visited this cafe as part of the Denver Gourmet Food Tour of the Highlands. We were invited in to taste their paninis that won the Westword award for best in its category or something. Too bad the panini was not my cup of tea! And too bad they didn't offer any coffee samples, I mean, what was that? read more

See all

ordered two matcha lattes and it was more milk than anything else and the girl helping us was very rude and gave an attitude the matcha wads nasty. Don't recommend bad service and nasty products. read more

My favorite sandwich spot in the city!! I'm currently addicted to the Bothai, but everything I have had has been amazing. Service is friendly and quick. What more can you ask for? Hope this little hole in the wall sticks around forever. read more

The BEST place in Denver for breakfast, brunch or just to grab a sandwich. All their stuff are original with international vibes and flavors you really can't find anywhere else around here. I've been coming here regularly for a couple years and it's always fresh, delicious and top service. Highly recommend the Nuovo, spicado and tuni. read more

Reasonably priced paninis, breakfast sandwiches, and espresso. Don't forget to try a bombolini

Great breakfast stop in the Highlands section of Denver. Unique menu and friendly staff

Cute little cafe and the guys behind the counter are funny and friendly! They have a few tables where you can hang out, or take it to-go. I had the Hurry Panini with prosciutto crudo, mozzarella, tomato, and pesto, and it was delicious with fresh ingredients and great bread. The pastry case was also very tempting, maybe next time! read more

Wow I randomly stopped at this small place to get a quick breakfast sandwich and omg! Haven't had such a good one since my time in nyc and italy. Highly recommend this place--all the sandwiches I've tried so far are so so yummy, crispy, savory and perfect. And their espresso is fantastic too. read more

I've lived by this place for 2+ years and just realized they have A+ paninis! Can't wait to keep trying more of the menu. So far tried the Smokey . The bread is delicious and quality ingredients (meat, olive tamponade, cheese). read more

Love this place! Missing the meatball sandwich, but this place is my go-to for a quick breakfast or lunch sandwich and a coffee in the Highlands. They also sell Yerb Mate. read more

SUPER SAD I didnt know about this place before. Its going to be my go to place for breakfast. Love the owner and staff. Super friendly and helpful. I got the nuova and it was one of my favorite breakfast sandwiches. Along with the chocolate croissant. You really feel like you are at home in this place. Coffee is awesome! Theres literally 30 breakfast and lunch sandwich choices or a make your own option! You wont be disappointed. It is kind of hidden and small, but worth the trip! Happy Eating! read more

Cute little unassuming café with a variety of breakfast options and freshly baked goods! I originally wanted a veggie burrito but they had run out of ingredients and let me order any of the breakfast sandwiches and sub the meat for tomato/avocado for the same price as the original. Service was really nice and my Nuovo sandwich with tomato instead of smoked salmon was delicious, with the perfect amount of veggie cream cheese! read more

Food and coffee is simple and good but service is hit or miss. Sometimes it's perfectly friendly and other times it's surly AF and who needs condescending agression first thing in the morning? read more
