Food was well made and truly fresh, the atmosphere was very colorful and Colorado-like, sadly the only negative thing about this place was the time it took to get our order, but the staff were very nice and attentive. Overall aside from the wait, it was a very nice cafe. read more

Slowest service I've had in years! Astonishing how they were out of kids food, and it took 40 min to make a chicken Caesar salad. Ill staffed. Ill stocked. We will not be back. Ever. read more

The cafe is part of the Colorado History Museum. We were starved and they served us even though they were closing in a twenty minutes. The food was good. We split a BLT and tater tots. The ambience was pretty cool too-all Colorado inspired. There is outdoor seating available and a separate entrance for customers that are not visiting the museum. Prices are reasonable. Parking is on the street or in the garage that serves the museums and library. Bathrooms were clean. Cafe is handicap friendly. read more

Rendezvous Cafe - Cafes Near Me - Denver, Colorado

Have a new favorite when I'm visiting the history museum right next door! Their prices here are very fair & great sized dishes that will certainly fill you up! The staff is very kind as well & they bring the food directly to you, despite the Panera feel it has to it when you walk in. Overall the food is delicious and this restaurant is VERY clean, has great music, and really cool interior with plenty of seating options both inside & outside. There is no parking besides the museum parking & street parking so be prepared to pay for street parking if you don't come by train or bus. Will be visiting again! read more

Honestly, you need to try this place. The food feels like the quality and presentation of a much pricier place. The staff is really friendly and the prices are very reasonable. It has a very stylish interior and tons of lounge-type seating! Theres a few cafes nearby, but trust this random yelp review and try it! Also a great remote worker spot read more

I love this cafe! There are excellent options. The food is fresh and there are just great varieties. Surprisingly, this a an affordable cafe, especially for the unique food choices. The breakfasts are really good and they have wonderful coffee. Give this cafe a visit any time of day. read more

The staff was friendly and the food was good. We went after the history museum and were super hungry. It was a little pricey for what you get but overall a good time. read more

Had two meals catered from Rendezvous Cafe at a recent strategic offsite at History Colorado Center. Both were delicious!

After spending a couple of hours in the history museum, we decided to try out the cafe. It was excellent. We had great service and great food. I had the caprese grilled cheese as did my older granddaughter. We both thought it was exceptional. My younger granddaughter had the cheese flatbread from the kids menu which she ate most of it and she is very picky. The prices were also very reasonable. read more

Came for the falafel because as a vegetarian, I don't need another green salad or another quesadilla. No falafel. Stuck with another green salad. Would have picked another restaurant but was already here with a small party. Updated menu attached. 4 stars as the food is good for omnivores and the do it all cashier and chef is nice! read more

literally some of the worst food ive ever had. I don't know what other people are talking about. Fries are like a cold, stale version of McDonald's. Mushroom burger was so salty it was almost inedible. Coffee was gross. read more

History Colorado is a wonderful museum in Denver. The rendezvous cafe is disappointing. I have eaten there several times. The kids menu is great for my grandkids. Yesterday's lunch was just awful. Soggy grilled cheese sandwich and inedible Thai curry soup that looked like vomit. Very disatified. read more

Our 2nd visit for brunch here. The vegan breakfast street tacos with vegan eggs, chorizo, cheese and topping with fresh onion, pepper, cilantro was delicious. I ate two before remembering to take a picture. Ordered tater tots (photo shows 1/3 of the tots order) and side of green chili (vegan also) for a very filling meal. The one staff working was friendly, got the food out hot and quick and delivered to the outdoor table. Nice, shady, clean patio seating, and the inside ambiance is spacious, bright, fun. Sunday street parking is free. read more

I find myself often discovering places mainly based on 1 of 2 reasons - because I really want to try it or because it is the most convenient place with decent ratings. With my hotel right across the street, getting breakfast from Rendezvous just made sense. I didn't realize until I was walking that it is in the same building as the museum. The inside was nice and welcoming. There was not a single other customer in here and there wasn't the whole time I was in there. I get the sense that they do a lot of pre-work business for breakfast and probably get some local traffic at lunch. I ordered a couple of their breakfast sandwiches that included some egg, cheese, sausage and a smashed hash brown. It was their only choice in sandwich form and sounded up my alley. And honestly, we were hungry enough to eat anything! It took a little while to make. But at least that way I knew it was fresh. It was actually a pretty good sandwich considering this was a convenience decision. Rendezvous Cafe served exactly the purpose I needed it to! read more

Been a few times for coffee and treats. I give this place a 5-star review mainly because the staff. On each visit they were friendly and helpful. The treats we got were nice, and I especially liked the pineapple and rosemary cookie. Sounds a bit weird, but it was quite good. Had it more than once sine my first try. Been meaning to check out lunch, but that will be on a future visit. read more

Loved the caprese grilled cheese with tots. Big enough to share, and delicious. Very nice staff too. Would go back again if visiting the museum which is also wonderful. read more

this place was a ripoff! salads are tiny, very little ingredients, and very expensive read more

Around my office, we're at something of a loss in terms of places that we can get do, eat at, and walk back from over our lunch break. We decided we were tired of Mexican and Greek, so we headed over to the Colorado History Museum to give their cafe a shot. Upon entering, we were immediately greeted by one of the many helpful employees... and really, every employee we encountered had a great attitude! Bonus points! The selection for lunch is also great. They've got your standard sandwiches and salads, along with a couple plated entrees, hot dogs, pizzas, and even a few items on the kid menu. I wasn't wild over my bean burger, but the chips were awesome. So, what would I get if (when) I return? Probably that veggie pita or sandwich, whichever it was. Two friends at the table got it, and they loved it - plus, it was beautiful, brimming over with some of the freshest veggies I've seen in a while. Seating was plentiful, and orders come out quickly. I'm looking forward to going back! read more

The pork belly sandwich is weak! Check out what I got. Place is ok but highly disappointed in the portion. For 9 bucks you're better off with a burger. The waitress was useless in making us feel any better but what do you expect, she probably doesn't bring home the bacon. Ha! read more

One doesn't expect a cafe attached to a museum could actually be as impressive as this. In a conference & I truly expected a mediocre breakfast sandwich, especially since I need gluten free... instead I get perfectly toasted bread, crisp yet chewy bacon, real eggs, seamlessly melted cheese & cheerful service. Hidden gem for sure (I am extremely finicky with food as well so this definitely means a lot). read more

Casual spot. Order at the counter and they bring it to your table. Tasty veggie burger and tots and it really hit the spot. $11 total so not that bad. Good for solo, couples, groups and even kids. Very casual environment. read more

Had lunch here. Great prices $7-9 each. They are almost fully plastic-free. So after you eat, you follow the guide to add things to the the recycle, compost or wash bin. It was like one last interactive exhibit for the kids. Probably the most eco-friendly cafe we have been too. A couple gluten free options. read more

Never again! Ever find that hidden gem you love and then slowly over time goes to hell???? This is the place. I ignored several things, primarily mess ups on online orders. The food was great and slowly slipping. I have been going less and less. Today was the final straw. I ordered a 1/2 blt half salad. The salad tased fine but was half of what I was used to. It was nearly a garnish. The BLT was not fit for human consumption. The bread had some nasty salsa thing rubbed all over it and the bacon?!?! Well look at the picture of what the call bacon. A fat patty? read more

Got a hot chocolate and brownie - pretty simple stuff. But the hot chocolate literally tasted like water and the brownie was very dry and tasted more than a few days old. Definitely would not recommend. read more

Basic cafe for area employees. Not great for working from as they have no power outlets and you have to rely on public WiFi. The menu is good enough. Despite having a full espresso bar they do not serve ice coffee or espresso drinks. I also overheard one of the staffers say "we don't have avocado, but we have guac," which begs the question - how? It's a pass for me. read more

We came here after checking out the museum - we were able to score a table for the 8 of us just after 1 p.m. - we were a bit confused at first but then figured out that we needed to order up at the counter and they then bring the food to us. I went for the braised pork belly plate which came with sea salt roasted potatoes but not the baby green beans as promised on the menu- sad face. The pork combined with the potatoes made the dish just too salty. My mother-in-law really enjoyed her pork belly reuben - Swiss cheese, sauerkraut and dressing. My sister got the gluten free pizza - one of the few GF choices- and she really enjoyed it - think personal sized pizza served on a mini pizza board. The rest of the gang got burgers and said they were pretty good. There are recycle bins but it is not clearly marked what should go in them so it would be helpful to have that as I saw folks throwing out regular trash in them. I would also be curious to see what they serve in the morning as they open at 7. read more

Rendezvous Cafe was really yummy! I work in the neighborhood and it is always hard to find decent lunch places! This was my second visit, the first time I had the veggie burger and it was really really good! This time I did the 1/2 salad 1/2 sandwich combo! I had a Greek salad and the chicken Ceasar wrap! The salad was fresh and super tasty! But the wrap, omg the garlic chips put that puppy over the top! Soooo yummy! It was fresh and oh so good!!! Give this place a try, order at the counter and they bring to your table! Fast casual style! They always have fresh soups and specials! I eyed everything coming off the line and it all looked great! They take care with presentation!! I will definitely be back soon! Glad to have a great staple in the hood! read more

What a cute little place! Stopped in for something with work and grabbed a delicious macchiato at the suggestion of the staff. Yum! Highly recommend! read more

Ranger IPA on tap! But the food on our recent visit, after touring the Colorado History Center, was really disappointing. We wandered in as tourists, thinking it would be a convenient. I ordered the "grilled veggie flatbread" which turned out to be essentially a slice of pita bread, not warmed yet alone grilled, yet alone a flatbread, with some goat cheese spread on top with the greens - a green salad basically - on top of the cheese. Now I know that Colorado pizza is not really pizza as we know if on the east coast, but at least this is made clear in how it's described in restaurants. But the concept is much the same. But if this is a Colorado version of flatbread, I must protest that you'd better warn people about it not involving an actual flatbread! My wife had a salad with chicken, and found it really disagreed with her stomach for the rest of the day. Sorry, stick to the beer - for a food order, there must be something better in the neighborhood. read more

My husband and I really enjoyed our meals. I ordered grilled cheese sandwich and it was the best grilled cheese I have ever had, nothing plain about it. Exceptional food, good quality ingredients. Definitely give them a try. Yum!! read more

The food was really good! We were kind of surprised since most museum food is horrible and overpriced. But we enjoyed it, and prices really weren't that bad. I think the staff needs a little more training on how to handle busy days, some of our food came out and some didn't, so it was a little awkward. We also had to ask for silverware and hunt for our own napkins. But I think its more because they are new, not lazy. I'll be back next time we come down here! read more

This is a great downtown lunch spot, especially given that it's right next door to my office! The food is always good and it is freshly prepared but also delivered fast - important for when you have a limited lunch break. The veggie sandwich is my favorite, filled with some hearty veggies and hummus it's delicious! Depending on the soup option I'll often go with half a sandwich and a cup of soup. It's always enough to keep me stuffed until dinnertime! Plus it's under $10, which is a bargain in most downtown spots. read more

I eat here frequently and they just rolled out a new menu that is great! The staff is always friendly also! They do not use any single use plastic either, which is great for an environmentalist like me! read more

Had a lunch meeting at Rendezvous today and was pleasantly surprised. Great food, great service, and a great price. Being so close to my office this will definitely be added to my regular lunch spots. read more

This place is OK, but pretty disorganized. Do not use them for ordering for a group. 1st problem: The menu on their website is not accurate and they don't have some things 2nd problem: They won't let you call in a order, can only order through their app. (turning away business is always a good idea?) 3rd problem: When you receive the order, it is wrong Most of the time when I have tried them it seems like no one there really knows what is going on and they are just flying by the seat of their pants! read more

The food is very good, but it is also pricey. I would totally recommend this it is so nice just to Pop over and then return to your day at the museum read more

A great place to eat. The dessert selection is awesome and extremely delicious. I highly recommend.

My husband and I went to this downtown cafe for the first time while visiting the history museum. I had a soup/1/2 sandwich combo that was delicious. Their "southwestern tomato" soup is not like anything I have had before; hearty, thick and pureed with just a bit of spice. My husband had a wonderful healthy salad. Each order was just under $10. I certainly recommend this place. read more
