We really enjoyed our time at paperboy! I would highly suggest a reservation because a lot of folks were waiting and we were able to bypass the line thankfully. I had the chicken and biscuits which was very good! My friend had the French Toast which looked amazing!! We also had the Bloody Mary which tasted yummy! The only downfall of our time is that I wasn't too impressed with the mimosa. It was sorta weak, overpriced and not much liquid. Besides that, the vibe, service and food was great! read more

Trendy spot and awesome vibes for brunch! Coffee was ballerrrr!!! Probably the best thing. I got a macchiato and iced American, both rocked and were spot on We also Got the pancakes and they were just okay. They look amazing but they were lacking flavor. Kinda felt this way about the carnitas and eggs and tortillas. They looked awesome but all the food was just a little bland unfortunately. Definitely wanna come back for a coffee and try more food. Staff was awesome, make sure you have a reservation as this spot is super busy! read more

In celebration of my mother-in-law's belated birthday, I made reservations at Paperboy - because my social media feed literally made me LOL. I made reservations online (imperative if you want to get in) and was pleasantly surprised when we were seated on the covered patio. A little note sat on our table saying HAPPY BIRTHDAY signed by everyone at the business - which I found to be so charming. Love it! The drink menu is delish sounding and I decided on the Earl Grey Cold Brew with a splash of milk - which was perfectly sweet and earthy. YUM!! The menu here is unique and divine all at the same time and ultimately, we opted to share a bunch of things - so we could get more of the menu ;) We landed on the raspberry lemon muffin to start, along with the following: garden frittata ----zucchini, roasted potatoes, cheddar cheese, chipotle crema, arugula, pickled shallot, dill // chicken & biscuit----crispy-fried chicken, country gravy, sunny egg*, spicy honey // paperboy pancake ----maple syrup, brown butter, sea salt // annnnd a side of sausage + cheddar hashbrown Everything came out beautiful in presentation, decent in portion size and tasted absolutely delicious! The chicken was perfectly cooked and juicy and the gravy was to die for! I really liked the mixed greens on top of the frittata and left full and happy! Service and prices are on point, and I'd easily return :) read more

Fun Sunday brunch place which includes a farmers market before or after was a Sunday well spent. This place has a Midcentury vibe and clean. The food is also very delicious. We enjoyed the migas and added carnitas. It made nice tacos with soft scrambled eggs with peppers, onions, avocado, and a nice green salsa that had a kick. The ricotta toast also had a nice, different flavor with the papaya and similar mangonada toppings. The guava cheese danish tasted like a pastelito. Service was great and recommend checking out. Added bonus that you can make an OpenTable reservation. read more

Paperboy Denver - Chicken and Biscuit, Migas with pork carnitas, and the original paperboy pancake - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Denver, Colorado

Made a Resy ahead of time and was able to get seated right away. Service was a bit slow though from greeting to taking the order. For food, I ordered the Lox Plate (the smoked salmon tasted quite fresh and grilled scallion cream cheese paired really well with the salmon itself, as well with the crunch of the wild furikake). I also wanted something sweet from brunch as well and ordered the Paperboy Pancake + added chocolate chips (this was one of the most fluffiest pancakes I've ever had, it was a great size and just loved the texture of it, the brown butter was also really tasty and melted so easily). Plenty of seating indoors and has a large bar as well. Parking - On the Streets Restrooms - Clean read more

Might've discovered my favorite new brunch spot in Denver. Stopped in for a late brunch. Staff was very accommodating to our party size and the inclusion of a kiddo. For my friends birthday celebration they made her feel special. The place is spacious and clean. The chicken and biscuit was amazing and i could eat that every day of my life. Their pancakes are fluffy and delicious. Bloody Mary was tasty too and service was super prompt. 10/10 recommend, can't wait to come back! read more

I had to make this reservation 2 weeks in advance. I had the pancakes, personally not my favorite- definitely more cakey than I would like. But we had a gluten free baked good and that was amazing and my friend really enjoyed her chicken and waffles. Will definitely give it another try but would pass on the pancakes next time! read more

Was really excited to see Paperboy come to the West Highlands neighborhood and fill the void we've had for a fun sit down brunch. The vibes here are amazing, and I appreciate the big garage windows and patios to make all the seating bright and airy. We loved sharing the brown butter paperboy pancake along with our individual breakfasts. I highly recommend the lox and jalapeño business cocktail that I ordered for myself. Can't wait to return and try more from this menu. jalapeño business (reposado tequila, pineapple, sage, jalapeño, lime) paperboy pancake (maple syrup, brown butter, sea salt) lox plate (citrus cured lox*, grilled scallion cream cheese, citrus kosho, pickled beets, cucumbers, wild rice furikake, shiso, flax toast) read more

It's rare that I go all in on brunch these days, so I'm pretty selective about where I go. Paperboy made it very easy to be excited about brunch again. This is their first Colorado location, originally from Austin, and it really feels like a neighborhood all-day café done right. I didn't even drink when I went, and honestly I'm glad because I got to fully focus on the food. We tried quite a bit and everything was genuinely great. The ricotta toast with strawberry, rhubarb, and honeycomb was fresh and balanced. The chorizo and potato empanada was flavorful, and the orange chai brioche roll and strawberry hibiscus pop tart were both standout pastries. The chicken and biscuit was a highlight. The fried chicken was juicy and tender with a really crispy, well-seasoned crust. Easily one of the better fried chicken dishes I've had in a while. The paperboy pancake and Texas hash were also solid, and the orange blossom cortado was a creative and really enjoyable coffee drink. Overall, this is a spot where everything feels thoughtful and well executed. Definitely one I'll be going back to. read more

When I lived in Texas, I would travel to Austin just to eat the French toast at paperboy. So when it opened in Denver I was absolutely ecstatic, and paperboy still lives up to the hype. I went with a few friends for a weekday brunch. Would definitely recommend getting a reservation before hand. I got the salmon plate and a strawberry ricotta toast - and both were amazing. I think their French toast is better than the strawberry, but it was definitely worth a try as it had really interesting flavors. The salmon plate was also super tasty - with lots of flavors and beautifully plated. Honestly this is probably one of the best brunch spots in town now and definitely with a visit! read more

This austinite is very happy to see paperboy land in Denver! The pancake is essential to order. Pro tip: order it as an appetizer for the table to share. The poblano & cheddar biscuits were good but a bit over. The carnita migas were terrific, very flavorful. The coffees were super tasty and hit the spot. I'm happy to see a piece of Austin here. read more

I have been wanting to try this place but it's super busy on weekends. I had a weekday off and drove over here to try. It was mid afternoon and only half way full. Their acclaim is that they are from Texas but I would say it's more kitschy Austin area vs true Texas. The menu is light and servings are not huge. I got the chicken and biscuit which came with 1 egg, 1 Biscuit a side of gravy and hot honey and good portion of Chicken thighs. It was a good but I wish I had 1 more egg. My guest got the frittata and it was like a tiny rectangle frittata absolutely covered with greens. It was just ok. The glasses for tea are short glasses and I asked for Tea and our waiter just never brought another. I really wanted to try the pop tart and empanada but they were out by time we ordered. Overall it was ok but no AMAZING read more

So I'm in town from Houston visiting Denver for a work conference. I was staying in the downtown area and I was looking for a place to have brunch. This place had four stars on Yelp so I Uber 15 minutes to come to this spot. The weather was nice so I chose to sit outside on the patio. I ordered their Cortada coffee, their blueberry pancakes with scrambled eggs and bacon, and I had a latte. I had to eventually move inside because there were too many flies on the patio. The breakfast was just OK. The pancake was extremely thick, although it was just one for some reason they only gave one syrup and it was half of a container nowhere near enough for the pancake and ask for additional syrup or to at least fill the container. I was told that there would be an up charge. And on my receipt there wasn't up charge. This was a huge turn off for me considering the amount paid for the breakfast. The people working there were very nice and so was the ambiance! Very cute neighborhood place, nice vibes on the inside. read more

loved everything about this place! The pancakes were absolutely delicious, almost a cake/muffin texture. The Texas hash was loaded with carnitas and the homemade hot sauces were an awesome addition.

I really, really wanted this to be a great experience! I drive by Paperboy everyday on my way to work and it's always packed. I'm giving it 2 stars because of how rude the hostess was to us. We came in without a reservation and told it was an hour wait, no problem. She took my number and said I would get a text, if I didn't to come back and let her know. I never did get a text so I called to confirm we were on the list and she had the correct phone number. FYI they do not answer the phone durning business hours, only text so I sent a text, no response. So we waited about half hour and went back. She said we had to wait more and when I asked about the text she told me she didn't know the restaurant number but saw I had texted and she never replied. So we sat and waited the remainder of the time. Marisa however gets 5 stars! She was extremely friendly and helpful with the menu. Unfortunately we got a hair in our jalapeño jam for our jalapeño cheddar biscuits. She was apologetic and brought us a new one right away. On top of that she took them off the bill. I had the fried chicken biscuit and my friend had the cinnamon toast. My chicken was cooked to perfection and the biscuit was very good. The gravy was good however had way too much pepper in it and it was more of a chicken pot pie soup than gravy for biscuits. The cinnamon toast was not great, you only got one slice and the strudel part was excessive. Didn't seem quite worth the price. The drinks were really good so if you do visit the jalapeño cheddar biscuits and the fried chicken and biscuit are the way to go. I give the inside dining area 2 stars. It's so loud between the people and the music. Even though it's a decent sized room there was nothing to catch the sound bouncing off the walls. The outdoor patio was lovely and the noise level perfect. So make sure you make a reservation and sit outside if you can. read more

We decided to make reservations for 10 people for brunch while we were visiting Denver. We showed up a little early but they were still able to accommodate us pretty quickly. Service was pretty good but I was a little frustrated that they ran out of empanadas and it was only 11 am and she forgot to bring the sausage with my order. I ordered the chocolate chip pancake and added the 2 sunny side eggs and sausage. My fiancée ordered the fried chicken and biscuit and hash brown. The pancake was a little different from the normal pancake and it was ok. My fiancée enjoyed the fried chicken and wasn't a fan of the biscuit. The hash brown was good but nothing special. Everyone in my party liked their food and drinks. I liked that they served cubes of rice krispy treats with the check. Overall it was a good experience. It's a cute restaurant and the restrooms are clean. read more

2nd visit. I came on a Monday. Much easier to get in versus Fri or weekend. I sat at the opposite end of the bar near the kitchen and was served by Jesse. Initially my request for a Latte was delayed by a balky machine, so I got their drip coffee. Very strong. I noticed the patio is open with umbrellas. No direct sun until midday, so the patio was filling up by 9am. I got the Migas with add-on of pork carnitas and 3 corn tortillas. Jesse asked if I wanted corn or flour tortillas. Just the right amount of cheese in the eggs with an half avocado on top. A spicy Serrano sauce was provided. Yummy. read more

After seeing food pics, I was excited to come here for brunch. Place is very open and lighted because of all the windows which is very enjoyable on a sunny day! We started with a couple Bloody Marys to get the party started. Good bloody, little on the smoky side. Had to grab the pop tart (YUM). I got the pancake plate with 2 sides. Portion size was amazing.

My wife and I have walked past this busy eatery on our neighborhood explorations multiple times times and finally used the excuse of our 46th wedding anniversary to reserve a table there this morning. The ambiance is lovely, the service excellent and our food was delicious. The menu has a nice assortment of chip that we're all tantalizing but at the same time was not overwhelming. My wife had the vegetable frittata and I had the eggs, sausage and cheesy hash browns and both meals were perfect! This is our new breakfast and brunch place! read more

Seen quite a few videos on TikTok about the restaurant so I was super excited to try it out. Got there noticed that Place seem to be pretty packed so I thought the food was going to be fantastic. When we finally sat down. I looked at the menu and I found it it was very fewer options and what I had expected I was hoping to potentially see seafood options, along with other meat options, besides pork, which I was very surprised and disappointed that it wasn't there. I ordered the pancake with a side of scrambled eggs to scrambled eggs were pretty good very fluffy. They were made exactly the way I'd requested however, the pancake was extremely disappointing. It was overcooked hard, and it seemed to be made from cornmeal which I was very surprised at the place did have a pretty decent vibe however, due to the lackluster Food most likely I probably won't come back other than that everything else was OK. read more

What do you do when everything looks good on the menu? Well... you order (almost) everything! Unfortunately, there were a few things the restaurant was out of when we arrived. We scoped out the menu beforehand and had our hearts set on the poblano and cheddar biscuits, the avocado toastada, and strawberry hibiscus Pop-Tart, but alas not was not to be. Fortunately a couple of other things that we wanted were still available and we were able to try some other delicious things instead. First stop, cocktails. The Spring Fling was a delightful twist on the Aperol Spritz. I loved it! Highly recommend! The lox plate was not quite what I expected. It was delicious, but I was a little disappointed that half the dish was just bread. The smoked salmon was divine. It went really well with the pickled beets and veggies...And that scallion cream cheese sauce just brought everything together so beautifully. So much flavor on one plate. I would pay more to get a larger portion of everything else with with less of the flax toast. Maybe two slices instead of four? The chicken and biscuits were really good. The biscuit was cooked to just doneness, so it was nice and chewy in the middle. The chicken was fried perfectly, but could have used a pinch more seasoning. The steak and eggs... Loved this. This steak was nice and tender. Seasoned beautifully and cooked perfectly. The chimichurri on top had a nice kick to it. A little spicier then I expected. Definitely woke the taste buds up in a good way. The arugula and radish salad on the side was a great palate cleanser: Crisp and peppery. It complimented the rest of the dish very well. The eggs were scrambled perfectly: Soft and cheesy but not runny. Normally I am a breakfast potatoes girl but there were so many other delicious things on that one plate that the poor potato wedges barely got any attention. They were cooked well and season just fine, but flavor-wise they pailed in comparison to everything else on the plate. The lemon and ricotta pancake was tasty. I was hoping for a little bit more filling, but it was still good. Fluffy and spongy... More like cake and less like a regular pancake. That almond cherry coffee cake muffin was so good! I should have got an extra one to go. It was perfectly sweet, moist and spongy with a deliciously bright, fruity filling. If you get one of these, get another one for later. Or for breakfast the next morning. Either way, get two. I wasn't a big fan of the ricotta toast with strawberry and rhubarb. I had really high hopes for this one, but unfortunately there were too many competing textures here and I don't think that the flax toast was the best choice of bread for this kind of dish. The earthy flavor of the bread, the thick, tough texture of it, as well as the little flax seeds in it gave the dish an unexpected savory element which made it unpleasant. And there was just so much ricotta on the toast. It was difficult to eat this neatly and enjoy all of the flavor and texture elements together. Personally, I would have enjoyed this as a dessert, without the toast. In fact, my friend and I chose to deconstruct the dish and we enjoyed it much better without the toast. A spoonful of ricotta, strawberry and rhubarb with a touch of that delightfully tangy herbed vinaigrette... It was fantastic. Hopefully there will be a toast-free version of this dish on the menu the next time I come. Each of the staff members we interacted with was absolutely wonderful. Kind and friendly and welcoming. This place does get crowded though. Not sure if they take reservations but if they do I highly recommend them. There is both indoor and outdoor seating and limited street parking available so plan accordingly. read more

We really enjoyed our visit here. Given how busy it has been since opening, we definitely wanted to check it out. We are bar sitters by nature, but sat at a table with our reservation. Ironically, the bar seats we kept previously popping in randomly to try and snag had some availability this time (well, at the end of our visit). VERY cool bar area, and they were smart not to change too much up from the last place that occupied this spot. Inside seating and the bar seats look very comfortable, and an outside area too (with patio tables too). First of all, let me give props to our server, Greg. He couldn't have been better as far as personality, efficiency, and menu knowledge. He definitely elevated our experience. The wife had a Bloody Mary and the Texas Heat Wave. She enjoyed the Heat Wave a little more, and we actually subbed in the Mezcal Martini for her Bloody Mary (a little spicy for her but maybe up your alley (I just had the rest of hers as it was my style)). I just stuck to my Rare Trait IPA. I had the B.E.C. Mainly because I am a sucker for anything with pimento cheese in it. Solid sandwich, and order extra napkins when you order it. The wife had the daily special, a chile relleno dish. Her choice was also a tasty dish. My highlight was when I told Greg I was a big hot sauce person, and he brought me THREE of them. Great stuff, and all different levels of heat and flavor. Places that have house hot sauce truly make my day. The atmosphere was energetic with brunch music that makes you start your day much better, and I caught my wife sort of dancing at the table a couple of times. So, that is good. No elevator music. My odd thought of our visit was that I thought they could design the floor to fit in a few more tables, but I guess space is good too. This place is in a great location, and at the end (but close and walking distance) to all the fun stuff on 32nd Street. So, when you come here, you have plenty to explore before or after (probably more fun after). Time it on a Sunday in the next few weeks and you can just hit the Farmer's Market right after. Sounds like a great beginning to your Sunday. Thanks again, for your stellar service, Greg. I definitely recommend this place, and see you there (but we will be at the bar next time)... read more

Solid brunch spot that opened up in the Highlands. The price is a bit on the high side but at least the quantity and quality makes up for it. Got the espresso martini, which appears to be pre-made but still pretty tasty. My wife got the kale salad and I got the migas with carnitas added on. The kale salad was pretty good overall, though the chicken could be better. The migas was super delicious and with carnitas added could be a meal for 2. Overall, as I said, its a solic brunch spot. Leaning towards a 3.5/5 but could be a 4. read more

I was with a group of nine to go to the Sassafras restaurant, but they would not allow a dog even on their patio.

The food was not good. I got a two egg breakfast and it seemed like the meal had been sitting up on the counter for a while - it was cold, the egg whites were runny (gross dangerous imo) and the sauce for the "cheddar hash browns" was dried to the plate. Not sure where the cheddar went for the hash browns either. My friend ordered the potato and squash "frittata" which was more like a flavorless custard with no potato or squash. The atmosphere was way too loud and we couldn't even have a conversation. I spent over $30 for a two egg coffee and a specialty coffee drink, which is outrageous considering the quality. I will not be going back. read more
