There is something about this chocolatier that stands out from others. Is it the ambiance? Or is it…read morethe kinds of chocolate products they make? Not sure. When I found Bibamba while I was at Edgewater Food Hall to get me a plate of Ethiopian food, I stumbled up it by accident. The kind lady who was manning the register inside was above and beyond while I was sampling different types of chocolate barks along the window shelves. She explained to me that the store opened about three years ago. Really? I am pretty sure I had come here within that time frame at least once. I guess I had missed this place out of ignorance. Well, I, at least, discovered it. This is a Colorado store which imports cacao beans from Cameroon as the owner runs/owns a farm in the African country. Per the information board on the wall, the farm sustainably sources everything. I certainly appreciate businesses that focus on social responsibility. The chocolate bark samples I tried were all exquisite. After tasting, I walked around a bit to take some photos of the interior. Yes, this store is quite different than other typical chocolatiers for sure. You'll have visit it and see for yourself. The glass showcase upfront had truffles, cakes and parfaits all nicely displayed. The decadent looking cake or the parfait were tantalizing. Unfortunately, however, they were a little too big for me. Hence I decided to go with several pieces of the small chocolates as they all were of a good size. I got me two truffles and one chocolate piece. And they were.... -Black Forest Buzz Truffle -Cinnamon Roll Truffle -Dark Chocolate Salted Caramel Including tax and tip, all came to less than $14. Quite decent, I thought. I enjoyed all of them but my absolute shout-out goes to the Black Forest Buzz Truffle. It was so good where I wanted to go back to the shop immediately to get me another one. Yes, I agree. As the store name says it all, this is an artisan chocolate shop. The skills and techniques they use to create those outstanding chocolate pieces are high-quality, one-of-a-kind goods that are distinguished from others. You won't taste something like this in those mass-produced ones sold at the store we go to daily. Bibamba simply became my absolute favorite chocolatier that day. The only complaint? It's not very close from my southeast Denver house!!!

Here is why you should go here: - Small family owned and run…read morebusiness. - All Cacao comes from their 56-acre farm in Cameroon (Central Africa). - No slave labor used at all. - Only the finest ingredients used. - Everything they make and sell is organic and sustainable. Took a chocolate truffle making class and learned all about chocolate production and chocolate making. The owners are passionate about their chocolate, and it shows. First, we started with a presentation with photos of their farm in Cameroon and how they harvest, ferment, and dry their cacao beans, followed by roasting, winnowing (removing shells), and grinding into "cocoa liquor". Then bagging in 150-pound bags and shipping directly to their warehouse in Colorado. From here, their employees mix with sugar/milk and make the most organically rich and pure chocolate. It takes about a week in the melanger (mixer) for the cacao and sugar to blend into smooth, rich and creamy deliciousness. In the hands-on portion of the class, we took some of their 50% cacao and made dark chocolate truffles, rolled in a large variety of toppings--dried strawberries, pink sugar, pistachios, cookie crumble, peppermint. Of course, we all went home with lots of tasty samples to share of (eat alone.). Very interesting, tasty and fun. Their store is worth visiting as it is absolutely beautiful with numerous products on display. If you like chocolate or have a chocolate lover in your close circle --then you need to stop at Bibamba and get some chocolate love. Fun fact: Bibamba also provides their special chocolate confections to the very best restaurants in town. Finally, this class was brought to us by Slow Food Denver, a non-profit, committed to the enjoyment of local food, and who seeks to create a more just and sustainable food system. Slow Food Denver values cultivating community and connection, restoring biodiversity, celebrating food cultures, defending social and economic equality, and protecting the environment.

The house wines are okay but not spectacular if you know wine (to be expected for $9) but their Sangiovese was divine ($18). All the food was delicious. We got the Wagyu meatballs on happy hour, the bread and leek butter was insane! I'd eat that butter with a spoon. And the margarita pizza had fresh mozzarella and was so yummy and also on happy hour. I've been before and only got the cesear salad which I didn't prefer because the candied lemon was odd but I have a whole new perspective with this round of food! Really delicious. Service was great! No complaints. Also love that it's on kind! It did fill up quickly but we were a walk in at 5:30PM and it was fine

Came here for weekend lunch with my wife and had a fairly good time…read more Pretty straight forward menu. I ordered the Carbonara which is fairly good, though not a super traditional carbonara. They did use guanciale but the sauce is a bit off, but the dish ate pretty good overall. The prosciutto sandwich, on the other hand, is a stand up. Massive fluffy pizza bread with plenty of prosciutto and arugula. We easily could've split this given how big the sandwich is. My wife was a big fan.

Playa Bowls showed up in my…read moresearch, although their Yelp profile was limited in terms of current menu pictures and what not. I was definitely surprised with the large space that had been meticulously decorated to match their theme. We are so glad we came though as they have a pretty extensive menu of bowls and smoothies. We were particularly fascinated with their Yuzu Summer series. * Yuzu Glow Smoothie 20oz - Playa Yuzu base, Playa Mango base, pineapple, collagen peptides, coconut milk, and coco whip * Pink Summer Smoothie 20oz - Playa Yuzu base, Playa Pitaya base, pineapple, collagen peptides, coconut milk, and coco whip * Aloha Smoothie 20oz $9.49 I really enjoyed my Pink Summer Smoothie and that was my favorite of the three. I would honestly order this drink all the time if I saw it. I love the contrast of yuzu and dragon fruit. With such a large space, I would expect more people to hang out as it was a Saturday afternoon. But it was really quiet and all the workers were busy doing their jobs and washing windows! (Gotta love workers actually doing work and not just on their phones during down times.) I really love their refill water station too! We need more of these everywhere!

I genuinely don't understand what's going on at Playa Bowls…read more The bowls? Great. Service? Totally fine. The space? Adorable--full beach bungalow fantasy. You walk in expecting a little reggae, maybe some surf rock, something that says "you're on vacation." Instead... absolute dead silence. Like a library where everyone accidentally ordered açaí. Why am I whispering to my girlfriend at noon over fruit? Why does it feel like I'm about to get shushed by a librarian? After 22 years in hospitality, I can tell you: turning the music off is the universal signal for "please leave." Even blackout drunk people clock it immediately. So what is the strategy here? Is this some advanced "turn and burn" technique where we emotionally nudge people out with awkward silence? Because congrats, it works. I've never wanted to finish a perfectly good bowl faster in my life. The wild part is you clearly care about every other detail. You built the whole vibe... and then forgot the one thing that makes humans act normal in a room. I'm not asking for a DJ set. Just anything. A ukulele. A Spotify playlist. A dude humming in the back. Give me something so I don't feel like I'm eating in a meditation chamber where talking is discouraged. Great spot. Seriously. Just... please, for the love of god, press play.
