A great spot to grab some coffee and breakfast. It's made out of shipping containers which I think is pretty awesome. I got the grits for breakfast and they were creamy and savory. You also got a huge portion which made me pretty happy. The food menu is somewhat limited and only has four or five items. The drink menu is more robust and has not only coffee/tea drinks but also has alcoholic beverages. This spot is on the smaller side so it might not be the best place to post up and work for awhile. read more

Port Side - Grits - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Denver, Colorado

This coffee shop is in a black shipping container in RiNo. It is fairly small in space and gets packed easily, so it might be difficult to work. However, they have outdoor seating and benches so it's easier to find a space to socialize. I ordered the avocado toast, which comes with sliced radishes on a slice of French bread, and an iced coffee. The avocado toast had mixed textures, complimentary flavors, was filling, and delicious. The iced coffee came in a cute glass that was a reasonable portion. My only complaint is the drip coffee. The mug that it comes in was too small, and wish it came in a bigger mug or cup. I didn't think there was anything spectacular about the blend to warrant the price. read more

Stopped here by accident (are there really any accidents?) as I came to see a building made of shipping containers and the RiNo district - and here it is. Low key, casual, clean and tasty. Had a cup of coffee and the avocado toast. It was excellent. read more

Portside is one of my favorite spots as someone who lives in RiNo. Everything is good from coffee to baked goods and delicious food all over the menu. Also the staff is unbelievable! Recommendations: everything it's all good! read more

The good: Nice people, outside patio, dog friendly, RiNo, refills on coffee. The not so good: The coffee. The price. My little cup of regular brew was over $3!! And was burned. My girlfriend enjoyed her cold brew.....so maybe just stay away from the drip brew? read more

Hip space in what appears to be a shipping container or something that's intended to look that way. Tasty espresso drinks and friendly baristas, with outdoor seating for when the weather's good. Only downside is that it's slightly pricey--on the high end of the "hip coffee shop" spectrum in Denver. $4 for small latte/$5 for large, lunch plates range from $9-12. read more

Port Side - small latte to go - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Denver, Colorado

Oh hey, Port Side! You are truly hipster perfection in the best of ways. Trendy AF, but in a cozy and inviting way. Staff is friendly, efficient, and makes great recommendations. I'm oh so glad that the girl behind the counter suggested I get the White Russian with house-made kahlua. That was the tastiest, smoothest brunch cocktail imaginable. My friend also super enjoyed her coffee drink that came out looking like a work of art. You know what else was artfully created? Both of our breakfast sammies. Each had the fluffiest and most perfect egg and the softest bread. The pulled pork on my Duke sandwich was so juicy and tasty. The other components were perfect- the arugula and pickles did not overpower as they sometimes tend to. My friend had the U.T. and I stole a bite- yum! Next time I'd love to revisit Port Side for lunch as that menu looks delicious! read more

The food is good here, but I can't help but be offended when the tip screen shows me options of 20, 22, and 25% for counter service. Why not 10, 15, and 20%? read more

Amazing food! I got the pork burrito and a lavender latte. The burrito is a great size, they don't give you too much but it'll definitely fill you up. Very flavorful! The lavender latte is also amazing it, all the latte syrups are made in house which is unique. Staff is super awesome and friendly as well! read more

The breakfast egg, bacon and cheese sandwich was so yummy. The perfect place for a morning stop for coffee and a quick breakfast.

Oh man! Best avocado toast in Denver! Really love this place for a great breakfast. Highly recommend! read more

Very accommodating, friendly staff that makes such legit coffee that my coffee snob boyfriend was bedridden and his one request was coffee from Port Side. Their kale smoothie is super yummy and cleans out your tummy (be sure to be near a bathroom for the next couple hours following consumption), and their rice bowl is a mellow spice that even the weakest can stomach (I'm huge weak sauce typically, and I barely had a runny nose after eating their rice bowl). You'll drool over how generous the avocado is in their avocado toast. Free wifi and great spot to do work indoor or outdoors. If you get food to go they use compostable containers. This place is great inside and out! read more

A coffee shop in a shipping container in the heart of Denver's RiNo arts district--does it get any cooler than that? (Nope.) Formerly Huckleberry, Port Side changed its name and added some awesome menu items (read: booze) last year. I love this place and suggest this place often for meetings--it's in RiNo but near downtown and Five Points, making it a super convenient place to meet. Coffee/food wise, Port Side nails it. In addition to awesome local coffee, they have a menu with lots of tasty, healthy options (very vegan and gluten free friendly, too!). I've tried the avocado toast with radishes and togarashi, which was a perfect lunch when paired with an almond milk latte. They also have an assortment of pastries--I've tried their coconut ball and would definitely recommend it for a sweet, healthy-ish snack. Their boozy options are limited, but they cover their bases--Infinite Monkey Theorem wine, a rotating beer list, bloody marys and log cabins if you're looking for something a little harder. Since this is a shipping container, the space can be a little tight (although I'm pretty impressed with how they've arranged everything. I suggest coming here alone or with one other person--more than that, and you might have to wait for a place to sit. They do have wifi and I've worked here before. My only complaint is how early Port Side closes. They're currently under winter hours, which means they close their doors at 5 pm on weekdays and 3 pm on weekends. While I love me a glass of wine, I'm rarely drinking one before 5 pm. I would totally come here for happy hour or beyond if they were open, though! read more

Food was super delicious, I had the bacon burrito yum! Staff were super cool and friendly. Highly recommended.

Used the passport program today at Port Side, which gave me access to a BOGO espresso or cortado. Opted for the cortado since it's either that or an iced coffee that I usually order. The cortado was a bit on the bitter side which was disappointing, considering they're using huckleberry roasters' beans. I think it was the barista, since I've never had a butter cup of coffee at Huckleberry and have 3lbs of beans sitting in my cabinet right now. Anyhoo, I gave them 4 stars because I think there's potential there and because the shop used to BE Huckleberry Roasters. The location is great, the shop is clean and the service is friendly. read more

Great little coffee shop in the heart of Denver. Stopped in for a coffee and light breakfast before going to yoga. Their drip coffee is fresh and delicious. I also had the avocado toast which was super bomb! Never had it with radishes before, amazing. They also have a nice patio to enjoy a beautiful morning. read more

Port Side - Avocado Toast (Vegan) - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Denver, Colorado

Great breakfast or brunch place! Visited early on a Saturday morning and wasn't busy right away but then started to get crowded a little later in the morning. I recommend timing it right because it's pretty tiny inside with only a small amount of seating. So worth it though. The food was really tasty and don't forget the brunch cocktails (which were pretty cheap, around $6 each). I had the avocado toast which was topped with radishes and yummy spices. My boyfriend had the duke sandwich which had egg, gooey cheese, and pulled pork.. so good. Definitely a picture worthy spot and the staff/service is excellent. read more

Huckleberry coffee and delicious breakfast sandwiches make for a great morning. Port Side delivers it. I like the UT, with spicy slaw and kimchi on an egg sandwich. The Duke, topped with pulled pork, is also an AM flavor bomb. Friends love the avocado toast. It's certainly Instagram-worthy. Cortados are good, but so is a simple cup of brewed coffee. They have beer, but I havent made it there after 8am before. Bonus points for their sandwich board sign. It often makes me laugh. read more

Really delicious breakfast and coffee. Tried the avocado toast and a pulled pork breakfast sandwich. The toast was LOADED with avocado and the bread was fresh. The sandwich was super flavorful and the bun was also amazingly light and fresh. The spot itself is super trendy -- in a bunch of shipping containers. They were bumping the new Robyn album. I will totally return when I'm back in Denver! read more

5 stars for the coffee, 5 stars for the food, 5 stars for the friendly service, 1000 stars if I could for the staff helping us print some last minute boarding passes! We loved walking to this cute coffee shop from our hotel while visiting Denver! read more

Port Side - Best in the neighborhood - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Denver, Colorado

First off... The shitty barista took 10 minutes to make a small coffee... black And They left the door wide open which, caused a bunch of ravenous flies to swarm me during my wait. As well As swarming the biscuits left out on the counter in the open air , when questioned about the fly fiesta on the biscuits I was ignored. Fuck them. Half a star read more

Tasty spot for a quick lunch. They have coffee, smoothies, beer, wine and liquor. Vibe is nice and relaxing. I was not a fan of the breakfast sandwich. But the grilled cheese and gazpacho are delicious. Also love the veggie bowl with kimchi. No place to change a diaper :( read more

Omg. Finally a place that makes more interesting breakfast options. I had the UT - one of the best breakfast sandwiches I've ever had. It had kimchi on it!! The coffee was also spot on! read more

Planned on going somewhere else and we were so glad the original plan didn't work out. We walked up the street and found Port Side. Wait was minimal. Service was excellent, coffee and food were better! I had The Duke, and my wife had the Plain Jane with avocado, with which they were generous. Decor is eclectic, and the place has a cool vibe. We would definitely come back! read more

I was really impressed by the flavorful menu at Port Side. I feel like their menu is powerfood - meant to fill you up while tasting great at the same time! The chef was super helpful in customizing my salad to meet my paleo diet. Everyone was so dang nice! I saw someone else get the avocado toast and it looked amazing!! I had the Market Salad and it didn't seem like much at first but it totally filled me up and tasted amazing! The tahini sauce they use is incredible. They also have a great variety of coffeEs, lattes, etc. I didn't order one but I saw the baristas working their magic with ultimate care for every cup. They have a mini cooler for chilled refreshing soda waters too (my favorite)! Cute smaller inside with some bar style seating in front of the open kitchen, a couple tables, and a modest patio. I wasn't planning on going to port side but when the hunger kicked in and it was the closest thing nearby, man I was so glad I stopped in! I am going to go again tomorrow for lunch! read more

Lovely place in Denver. Go for U.T. sandwich (spicy) and avocado toast, so so good! And of course coffee.

The pumpkin spiced latte blows other PSL I've had out of the water. Port Side crafts their own pumpkin spiced syrup and it pairs well with the creaminess of a latte. It's not very sweet but the bold spices shine very brightly. I would definitely come here often if I lived in Denver! read more

Port Side - Pumpkin spice latte - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Denver, Colorado

This is in an area called 5 points Denver. I was in the area checking out a cool spot behind the Lustre Pearl bar. If you are into graffiti art the whole alley way has been spray painted into fun designs. I happen to see Port Side and thought I would come here after lunch for a coffee. I talked with the lady that worked here and she gave me the low down on the vegan food scene in Denver. In fact I was lucky in that they were having a vegan luau pop up the weekend I was there so got to come back and try that out. Basically the menu is very limited to basically 7 items and 2 of those are vegan. The vegan items are the avocado toast and the one Kale blueberry banana smoothie . They also have little coconut balls to go with your coffee. It's a small little spot with limited tables both inside and outside. The coffee drinks were good. I tried out the almond milk latte and I got one of the coconut balls to try. I enjoyed both and enjoyed sitting outside. The only issue is if you don't like being asked for money on the street you might not want to sit outside. I was approached probably 4 times in 30 minutes time. Normally I don't encounter that in California but Denver seems to have quite a few encampments and they are all trying to survive I guess. Other than that I liked the nice vibe of this place and it seems to draw a lot of the community together like I saw at the vegan luau. It's in a fun part of town so I recommend checking out this part of town. read more

Port Side used to be Huckleberry (I loved the previous name!!). The great thing about this place is coffee! They make a really good regular brewed coffee as well as spectacular lattes! I have. I have been to Port Side several times. It's a cool vibe but it's not a coffee shop where you want to stay and work - not enough space. The bench sitting is very uncomfortable - put some pillows there, it will make the experience way better!!! My friend tried the pulled pork sandwich and it was incredible- for such small space & kitchen they do a phenomenal job! I have not alway been a big fan of the service there but I guess it really depends on the person's day. I wish people working there were a bit "warmer" - but I have a lot of compassion for people working in such small coffee shops. The patio is cool & the location is the bomb! For anyone who is a visitor this is an excellent coffee shop to visit! read more

Quick and easy! I've been eating their breakfast burrito on a regular basis. It's cheap and convenient - I recently moved in nearby and will be a frequent customer. read more

Interior is on the small side- there are only a handful of tables and some bar seating by the open kitchen. I imagine when the weather gets warmer, the patio is probably very nice. I ordered the Plain Jane and almost immediately regretted the decision. After all, how good can a egg sandwich with just cheese be? Really good, is the answer. The bread, the perfectly seasoned egg, the cheddar.. all top notch. I scarfed down the sandwich and had an equally enjoyable date/almond ball and vanilla latte. Can't wait to check this place out when the patio furniture is out! read more

I'm a big fan of Port Side...basically the Huckleberry that was here before (which already had great coffee) added a small food menu and is called Port Side now. So the coffee aspect is relatively unchanged, but now we have another great, easy breakfast option for when the lines at Crema are obnoxious. They have booze drinks now too, but I have yet to try them. They really upped the breakfast sandwich game in Denver for sure. If I'm bringing a sandwich to work, I go for the plain Jane (egg and cheese on a tasty bun) so as not to offend my coworkers with too many breakfast-time odors. But if I'm eating in, I go for the UT. It's an egg sandwich with kale kimchi, sesame soy slaw, and sriracha mayo. If you need to sweat out a hangover (or just like interesting flavors with your eggs) it's perfect. I'm also glad that they still make the same well-crafted drinks using Huckleberry beans that I've come to love. The cappuccino (about 6ish ounces) is my ideal milk to espresso ratio. Sometimes, if you hit Port Side at just the right time, there'll be a pan of warm cinnamon rolls on the counter. If you encounter these tasty rare buns before work, you know it'll be a good day. read more

What a great little find! Found this place while adventuring from California. I set out to find the perfect chai tea, and I did. Not only does this place have fabulous tea, but they make their own almond milk! The tea was very ginger forward, but not spicy. I think that's admirable in a chai, because it should have a little kick to it. It was wonderfully balanced and served hot. In addition, their salad with lemon vinaigrette is on point, I only wish it was bigger! The people that work here were kind and patient when ordering as well! This is a nice place to dine in and relax, and to hide from the snow for a while. This only thing I found disappointing about this place is when I went back the next day to show my friends, they closed up shop early. The sign says they close at 3 and it was about 2:45. Aside from that, this place is wonderful and I plan to go back! Thanks, Denver1 read more
