    americano & cinnamon roll

    good coffee, good cinnamon roll, good playlist, lots of space and tables and outlets for remote work. overall great experience

    We happened upon Nixon's one day just wandering around Washington Park while on vacation. I was looking for coffee and Nixon's serendipitously showed up! Of course, I had to give it a try. We had a regular dark roast and an Americano, and both were bold and robust in flavor, and hot (surprising how rare it can be to get actual hot coffee sometimes). The prices were good and the staff was super friendly. It was very busy in the chic and comfortable cafe, but we found a table and sat for a few. It was a really clean and nice place to chill out for a bit. I went back for one more coffee before our trip was over and I'll be back on our next trip too.

    This was my first time here. The barista was super friendly and recommended a drink for me. I enjoyed a half venetian cream on tap and half cold brew. Nice vibes too.

    Parking was a bit tough nearby due to some construction but it is in a great spot right off i25! I wish I got a mug with my coffee because that's one of my favorite things about sitting in a coffee shop. But the coffee itself was delicious! Lots of seating and great atmosphere to focus.

    Got the coffee of the day which they had two different choices. A dark roast and a light. I choose the light roast and a large with tip was under 5 nice. The light roast was almost bitter but always on the tip. A solid flavor and just the right steamy hot temperature. Solid place, music was not to loud and no one was overly loud. Great ambience.

    Caramel macchiato

    Very friendly staff and the caramel macchiato was one of the most delicious coffees I ever had so worth the money (it is a little pricey). But great interior, also outdoor seating available.

    clean bathrooms, lots of outlets, and decent wifi

    Great place to grab a cup of coffee and work at (probably not the best for conference calls). You are limited to 90 minutes of wifi, but luckily it's super easy to reconnect so you can work for longer than 90 minutes. Coffee here is pretty cheap compared to other cafes in the vicinity. I love the passionfruit ice tea here too!

    good things: atmosphere: ample seating and great atmosphere! Especially when it's nice out with the giant window open. the barista: I didn't get his name but our barista was super kind and conversational! He was very helpful too! bad things: price: paid $7.55 for a pre-packaged sandwich lol. It tasted good though. coffee is overpriced too but that's normal for denver. coffee: my iced dirty chai couldn't stay mixed (see picture- espresso grounds / chai mix at the bottom). i'm not a coffee connoisseur but the americano was very intense and bitter in comparison to others i've had. service: while our barista was really kind, it took 5 minutes for someone to come take our order (there was no one in line, and the shop didn't seem busy because everyone was sitting down doing work). One barista was changing her battery in her polaroid camera, and even said hi to us while we were standing there and didn't take our order.

    Delicious iced lattes, great vibe, very nice staff! Love the ambiance; the garage doors / windows are beautiful!

    Stopped in after an amazing breakfast (at Hoja) and ordered a Chai Tea latte with whole milk. Total disclosure - I rarely stop in (anywhere) for coffee / tea but really digged the vibe of Nixon's. Next time I'll try one of their kombuchas - such a cool set up, bar style. And, maybe next time, I'll stay a while. They have a cozy set up, pandemic style. But, not too long, as there's a two hour max to allow other customers to soak up some Nixon vibes also, lol.

    This elegant European market is tucked into an unobtrusive, L-shaped space sandwiched between…read moreRestaurant Olivia and a Starbucks at the very busy intersection of Downing Street and Alameda Avenue. You must be driving west on Alameda to access the parking lot. There is a large sign there. You can enter the market from the main entrance facing Alameda or from the back entrance off the parking lot. The front of the store has a long wall of imported groceries and a bakery counter offering breads, pastries, quiches, fresh sandwiches (on baguette, croissant, or pretzel bun), soups, salads, and a wide variety of imported chips and drinks. There's a huge cheese cooler and lots of chilled, grab-and-go items. A table offers some kitchenware and gifts. A seating area is provided by the parking lot entrance. I'm on the mailing list which has offered a series of food specials and pop-up events. I was enticed in last weekend by a pop-up cassoulet special. I arrived to find a tent at the edge of the parking lot, sheltering a huge propane wok. The white beans, sausage, and pork belly were gently simmering with a wonderful aroma. What a treat!

    I went here right after my blood work at a nearby medical facility (LOL! Oh boy, I was hungry as I…read morewas fasting!) A thought of freshly made sandwich sounded so good so before I went in for the blood work, I did a little search on Yelp to find some new sandwich places and this shop is/was one of the suggested ones. As I am always looking for a new business to try (this store was also up the street from where I would be for the medical appointment), I wasted no time to rush to this new deli to check it out. As of early September 2025, there are only several reviews posted for them; this is an indication that this business had just opened. Based on what those people said, it sounded like a solid business. The store is on the northeast corner of Downing and Alameda. Although this is not a super big intersection, it sure is a busy one. And yet, its exterior appearance (they have two doors: one facing Alameda and the other facing the parking lot) is somewhat inconspicuous or unassuming (it could be good and bad at the same time.) Had I driven by it, I would only notice the Italian restaurant (Olivia) on one corner or Starbucks (on the other corner). Hopefully they are getting much needed attention from people that pass by it. I entered the store using the door facing the parking lot. This is where you will see the seating area. And to get to the rest of it, you will pass the register on the right. Once you make that left turn you will see more stuff that this store offers. Most of the grocery items are on the left side along the wall. Then there is the fantastic-looking cheese room to the right. The deli counter is at the end where the workers will make your sandwich. There is also a showcase where they display some sweet stuff/cakes (they looked pretty good by the way.) This is quite the space (so if you look down from the top/ceiling (not that you can do that), this store is L shaped.) One of the workers (a lady who was at the register) cheerfully greeted me. I already knew what I wanted (as I peeked their sandwich menu ahead of time). It appears to be a limited time item and it's called "The Saint Tropez". Simply put, this is a tuna salad sandwich on a freshly baked French baguette. As the little info sheet at the register says, this is a light, cold summer offering that is perfect for warm weather cravings. I simply couldn't think of anything else so without doing anything further, I immediately asked for this summer sandwich. The price is $15.99 (and after tax, it's $17 with some change. Not necessarily super reasonable (I thought) but I was more focused on the quality of it.) While the lady was making my sandwich, I looked around the store to take some photos. I spotted some interesting European grocery items that we don't normally see at our local grocery chain but I was most impressed with the refrigerated cheese room. I don't eat a lot of cheese anymore and yet, this store's selection is quite large where if you are needing some cheeses for your next gathering (holidays etc.) then you might consider this place to find some interesting kind(s). It didn't take long for the lady to make my sandwich. As I came out of the beautiful cheese room, she handed me a long/skinny sandwich that was wrapped in a white butcher paper. As soon as I got to my car, I immediately started devouring my sandwich. And it did not disappoint. The crispy French baguette was most delicious and was picture-worthy looking. The tuna salad (house made) wasn't overloaded with mayo-type marinade/sauce. Some slices of tomatoes, plenty of arugula, and noticeable amount of hard boiled egg slices. It was cut in half in the middle but I didn't take any break between the halves (told you, I was hungry after fasting for hours!!) This is a nice deli to have within our reach. I bet on a beautiful weekend, they get a good amount of foot traffic because people can stop by here to grab a delicious sandwich and go to Wash Park for a little picnic. Sounds like a great idea to me!

    Leven Deli Co. is what would happen if Ron Swanson opened a Jewish deli in downtown Denver and let…read moresouthern blues play over the speakers while he worked. There's no performance here, no hospitality theater, no one asking how the first few bites are treating you. You walk up to the counter, you order, you take a number, you sit down. The food does the talking. And the food has a lot to say. I went on a bright Wednesday morning with a couple of friends and ordered the classic breakfast, swapping bacon for pastrami (a first for me) with an everything biscuit on the side (also a first). Both were revelations. The eggs over-hard might be the best version of that order I've ever gotten from a restaurant -- just a whisper of uncooked yolk in the center, perfectly seared on both sides. Skillet potatoes were spot-on. The skillet pastrami was rich and properly crisped at the edges. And the two generous slices of sourdough arrived with a scratch-made blueberry jam that I ended up smearing on everything I could -- sourdough, biscuit, probably would've eaten it with a spoon if no one was looking. My friend ordered the breakfast sandwich, which clearly belongs in the staples category. The baguette was the star: toasted outside, pillow-soft inside, zero tug-of-war with your teeth. That detail alone tells you the kitchen cares. This is the Ron Swanson part: there's an unapologetic confidence to this place. They know exactly what they're doing, they're not trying to oversell it, and they're not interested in charming you into liking it. They're just going to hand you something excellent and trust you to figure out the rest. The coffee was good. The food was setting-a-benchmark good. A real 5 out of 5 stars, no pickin nits. Mild observation, not a complaint: the service is counter-only, no traditional table service. Would Matthew McConaughey or Reese Witherspoon dropping plates off elevate the experience? Sure. But Ron wouldn't have it any other way, and honestly, neither would I after eating here. If I lived within 45 minutes of downtown Denver, this would be my destination breakfast. As it is, I'm a 12 hour drive away, and if it were only 11, perhaps I'd go tomorrow. The real downside? The food was so good I completely forgot to take a picture.

    In Denver on the way home tonight and need a great sandwich for the plane. I've been to Denver…read morenumerous times and have never heard of Levan's Deli. That changes tonight. We arrived at noon only to find a huge crowd with everyone enjoying outside dining on a sunny day. This place is hopping and the staff is working their butts off. The energy here super high and I wish we were not pressed for time. We ordered a 12 day old pastrami on an unbelievable home-made toasted rye bread with Jarlsberg, Levin sauce and cabbage. The sandwich was hot, tasty and flavor-packed. The crust was a bit tough but it did not stop me from inhaling. The menu is vast, energy is high and this is a place you just were you want to be. I can't wait to return with plenty of time to drool over the menu and survey the dishes flying out of the kitchen. Great job, fun environment and tasty food, congrats Levin Deli!
