French Fries with Étouffée, Red Beans and Rice. Beautiful to the eyes, and yummy to the tummy!
Leo N.

I was craving' Cajun on my Colorado visit. It was a slow time but the service food and ambiance were top tier.

Beignets a secret menu item

We were in town for a conference and over hotel chicken... so we ventured out to Nola Voodoo Tavern. Boy were we treated with a culinary experience that was matched by the kindness and efficiency of the waiter, Wes, and the Louisiana hospitality of the owner, Henry Baptiste. Everything we ate had authentic NOLA flavor. The owner showed us how to eat crawfish and even whipped up a batch of beignets! If you are ever in Denver please put this place on your list!

4 out of 5 stars "A slice of New Orleans in the heart of Denver--worth the stop!" Stumbling across Nola Voodoo Tavern in Denver was one of those unexpected wins on our foodie adventure. The neighborhood has some real character--yes, it can feel a little rough around the edges with music bumping from cars and locals hanging out--but honestly, it added to the authenticity. We parked safely, crossed the street to a nearby store, and felt completely fine. If anything, it gave us that raw, real NOLA energy we came looking for. Once inside, it's all good vibes. You immediately catch the smell of good Southern cooking and Mardi Gras spirit. The walls, the music, the decor--it screams New Orleans. The vibe lives up to the "Tavern" name in all the best ways. We went in with an appetite and weren't disappointed: * Fried Pickles - crispy, tangy, and fried to perfection * Fried Green Tomatoes - crunchy, fresh, and full of flavor * Fried Chicken Gizzards - definitely a hit with our group (if you know, you know) * Hush Puppies with Blackened Shrimp - bold seasoning and well balanced * Crawfish Étouffée - the crowd favorite! Creamy, flavorful, and comforting--tasted like it came straight out of someone's grandma's pot in Louisiana * Washed it all down with my favorite Abita hazy beer, which always hits the spot when I'm craving that New Orleans feel I do owe y'all an apology though--I was too into the food to snap any pics (rookie move, I know!). But when the owner came over personally to thank us and check in on how we were enjoying everything, that sealed the experience for me. Humble, welcoming, and genuinely proud of what they're serving up. That goes a long way. While I didn't quite have that "I can't live without this" moment, there was definitely enough to write home about. Solid four stars, and I'd absolutely come back again to try a few more dishes and soak in more of that laid-back NOLA flavor. Pro tip: Come with an open mind, a hungry belly, and maybe a little patience with parking--it's worth it.

We came here on a recommendation and it lived up to its reputation. The tavern has a Mardi Gras festive feel, with a bar, few tables, and a pool table. Our waitress was so friendly and professional. We ordered an IPA, jambalaya ($17) and the trio sampler ($17) that has a sample of the gumbo, crawfish étouffee, and rice and beans. The spice was really good!

Food was amazing! Drinks had a bit of a heavy pour (I just added hot sauce to even it out), and I wish my bloody Maria came with a celery stick. The food was delicious! The etouffee, gumbo, and hush puppies were amazing.

Shrimp Po'boy and gumbo

We went to the Nola on a Wednesday for lunch. The staff is very friendly and upbeat especially Steve. I love the ambiance. Definitely a 70's vintage Creole vibe. We felt right at home. We had the Nola Sampler 3 + jumbalya. It has red beans and rice, gumbo and étouffée . We also had a shrimp po' boy that is out of this world. If I didn't know any better, I would think I was in the big easy. Come for the food, stay for the fun.

Yes, I did and yes, I do! I love this place. I went here as a celebratory dinner and will absolutely be back. They have bowl crawfish on the weekends for $20 a pound. I am blown away and amazed by this authentic Cajun Creole Denver gem. The moment I walked in I felt like I was back home in Louisiana. The vibe here is family and laid-back good times. Henry, the owner was very welcoming and his staff was genuinely interested in our experience. I absolutely loved the decor and the family style touches around the restaurant, including Henry's mother's gumbo recipe. We decided not to order an appetizer, but just jump right in and I got the trio of étouffée, gumbo and red beans and rice. For a little bit more I was able to add some jambalaya, which is the whole reason I wanted to go in the first place. Cory had the fried shrimp Poboy with french fries on the side. They have authentic sauces from Louisiana to go with Your meal. That was a super nice touch. Nothing was too spicy, but everything had perfect flavor. You could spice it up more with the sauces on the table if you'd like. And then we found out that it was one dollar wings night on Thursdays. The bartender gave us a great sampling of different sauces that they have to come with the wings. I love their barbecue sauce and their wing sauce. Everything was amazing and tasted like home. However, the gumbo was definitely my favorite. It had this rich smoky flavor and the sausage and the chicken was tender and not falling apart. It was amazing in every aspect. My second favorite would've had to have been the Poboy. The shrimp was perfectly fried and crispy on the outside and tender, plump shrimp on the inside with the perfect crispiness on the French bread. That bread is too live for! So yes, I highly recommend this spot. And you will probably see me there. Let the good times roll!

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.

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!

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. If you're in the area, check out this hip cafe offering up excellent food and coffee.

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.

We split a cup of cakes (cute!), Boston Thai Tea. Flavor was spot on and appreciated that it wasn't too sweet.
