The staff acts like your existence is a personal inconvenience. The large bearded guy behind the counter somehow managed to creep out my kids and talk down to me--all in one interaction. We literally just wanted coffee and coco. The coffee? Impressively mediocre. Lukewarm, a little watery, and completely forgettable. I'd rather drink hot water from a garden hose and call it a day. read more

Oh my gosh the focaccia was unreal. I stopped here on a weekend trip and it was so delicious. An incredible gluten free visit and a must stop. The staff were friendly and it was a very welcoming environment. Still thinking about the avocado toast I had and can't wait to visit Denver to stop here again. read more

Everything here is gluten free that's so amazing. I really liked the sausage biscuit and the banana bread. I got a large iced latte and it looked a little milky so I asked if I could pay for an extra shot and the barista just gave me one for free. It was actually really good for the color. They have a ton of seating and a really nice indoor space. I would totally come back if I lived in the area read more

Don't get me started on the gluten free (GF) food options here..... to LIVE FOR!!! The biscuits.. the sweet treats.. the savory treats.. they really have it all and they do it well. And on top of it, the vibe and ambiance are super cute with great service. AND the coffee is great. Gluten free or not (but definitely my GF peeps), do yourself a favor and stop by river and roads. If I lived in this area I would have a serious problem! read more

Definitely a must if you are in the Clayton neighborhood. The coffee is amazing and has been perfectly brewed every time I've gone there. Saturday mornings have an atmosphere with neighborhood families coming in and kids playing in the front lot. Friendly service and great food. Recently they went all gluten free which is a great with gluten free needs. I also believe they do a community dinner once a month to help raise funds for the local community. Super cool and s must visit. read more

Visited here twice, since my sister was staying nearby and visiting. The coffee shop is cute! They've got a patio and there's a glass blowing studio next door. We watched the artist doing their thing while we waited for drinks. The staff at the coffee shop were friendly, helped answer questions and made recommendations. The drinks were good and for the price, they were decently sized (iced drinks). I got a latte the first time and a matcha the second. The drinks were good - it wasn't anything stellar, but not bad! They do have a seasonal menu, I recommend trying drinks from there since it won't be there forever. read more

While in line, staff was attentive to both my friend and me but her service wasn't nearly as nice as mine. We both got peach cold lattes and we both enjoyed our drinks. The drinks were tasty and just the right temperature. Here is where we divert on our reviews. I immediately got my Mediterranean fries which were good. My were not soggy ands the toppings weren't strange, as one reviewer commented on the combinations. I am Mediterranean background and I thought the toppings complemented each other. Each to their own taste. Next time I will ask for dressing on the side. Too much dressing for my taste but that always happens read more

This is my GO TO cafe. As a gluten free girly, this place is like heaven on earth. It's the best breakfast sandwich I've ever had in my entire life and even my friends who aren't gluten free LOVE it. The turkey panini is also incredible. Their coffee is delicious, but it is super strong and makes me feel like I need to run a marathon after so I usually opt for the iced matcha. Their syrups are made in house and the baked goods are seasonal and so good! The baristas are always so friendly and the cafe itself is adorable with lots of natural light. Overall, this is my favorite coffee shop in the Denver area and absolutely worth the visit. read more

I cannot emphasize enough how good this breakfast sandwich is. I was recommended this enough times that I finally had to come, and I was NOT disappointed. It is perfectly moist with a great filling to bread ratio. The coffee was good as well. I just got a cold brew, and it got the job done. The space was pretty full with mainly people working remote. There's patio out front for when it's nice as well. Staff were busy but still had great attitudes and smiles read more

Hands down the BEST sausage and egg breakfast sandwich in the city. Of my entire life. I took it to go, and sadly did not take any pictures. Spectacular though. The crust of the bread was 10/10. The egg mixture was impeccable. The sausage, so yummy. The aoli was a treat. I can't even describe adequately how delicious this simple sandwich was. I will be back for more, very soon, I'm sure. The staff were also lovely and super helpful! The space was clean, and had a great amount of seating indoor and outdoor. A great neighborhood coffee/brunch spot! read more

We loved the sausage, egg and cheese biscuit! Also really enjoyed the turkey panini and donut holes. All gluten free and delicious! Would pass on the fries, undercooked and the Mediterranean ones have a strange combo of toppings. Really cool space with nice patio. Didn't try any coffee but look forward to going back :) read more

Woo hoo! Whether you are committed to a gluten-free diet or you just really like an amazing cheddar biscuit breakfast sandwich and good coffee. This is your spot. We ate like a kid in the candy store. We ordered breakfast sandwiches, avocado, toast, banana, bread, scones. What we didn't eat there we took with us. The scones were so good even the next day as leftovers. But that breakfast sandwich is hands-down the best I've ever had. The place was hopping when we got there, but we didn't have a problem getting a table. They have a nice outdoor patio area. But it was too cold for that. Coffee was excellent, Service was prompt and friendly. Can't wait to go back. read more

Super cute cafe with indoor and outdoor seating. Great coffee. I had both a cafe au lait and a cold brew. Lots of gluten free items to choose from, which I love. We got a bacon quiche, a vegetarian biscuit sandwich, and a monster scone. I was bummed that the quiche was crustless but it came with some kind of garlicky aioli which was delicious. I did not enjoy the scone. It reminded me of those thick grocery store sugar cookies with frosting. My daughter loved it though and ate the whole thing. read more

While staying in Denver, we found this coffee shop within walking distance of our stay. It was such a treat to wake up and grab a nice warm drink and a bite to eat here. Their menu has something for everyone and we wanted to try something new each time. I especially loved the Mexican Hot Chocolate which had the perfect kick of spiciness to it. They have indoor and outdoor seating for the warmer months and even an area for dogs. The staff is friendly and helps to give recommendations for first timers. Despite a constant stream of people, it never felt too crowded or noisy. Seems like a great place for a bite or even to sit and work. read more

Went on a trip to Denver recently and I am a big new wave coffee shop guy. I was shocked with the amount of options available in Denver. With all the competition, River and roads coffee was able to stand out. The coffee was amazing. I went with my usual cortado and my girlfriend got two different lattes over the course of two days and hers were also excellent. Usually a spot that has great coffee doesn't have good food, luckily for us, River and roads have a great food selection as well. We stayed at an Airbnb close to the MLK location and would recommend anyone to stop by if they're local. read more

Rivers and Roads is a great spot to enjoy: - A nice, trendy coffee shop setting. - WiFi to work from inside. - The outside 'good' dog-friendly patio for fresh air & hopefully some sunshine. We ordered some gluten free lemon donut holes and an oat milk matcha latte with simple syrup. Both items were tasty and quenched the cravings! Left our tummies very happy! The menu has a range of food items to try and they do also provide doggy treats for your furry family members! A nice touch! read more

Stopped into rivers and roads on a sunny weekend morning and grabbed coffee and breakfast sandwiches. The place was packed and a little loud, but we managed to find a spot.

It's always fun to stumble upon something unexpected when you are least expecting, right? As I've mentioned an umpteen times in some of my reviews on Yelp, I'm always on the lookout for a cute/quaint coffee shop. Today was one of those days because I discovered this great coffee shop in the neighborhood between North Park Hill and Five Points. Hence, I'm being compelled to write a review for it. This isn't just a coffee place with pastries. It's a great place to grab something savory for breakfast or lunch. Not only that, it's very much family and dog friendly, too! In front the store, there is an outdoor area with pebbles with a few benches so you can hang out with your furry friend. Since the temperature was so pleasantly warm on the day of my visit (Dec 4, 2022 to be exact), many were there with kids and dogs to enjoy the weather. We can't miss an opportunity to get vitamin D especially during the cold winter months, right?? The guy at the ordering counter was so friendly and personable. He took my name for my order but after that, he addresses me by name by asking how my day was going etc. I pay attention to this kind of detail each time I go to a store (I mean ANY store) so he was above and beyond )he truly took the time to het to know me!) I got my usual (doppio) and one of the pastries (Donut Stuffed Apple Pie Cookie). It took time before my doppio came out (the lady after me got her drink before me.) I was able to tell that the barista was still working on my drink by observing him from the bench I was sitting (I knew he didn't forget about me.) Once it was ready, he called my name and apologized for the wait. He had to remake my doppio at least one because it didn't come out right the first time (he thus remade it to ensure the quality.) Wow, this barista should receive the barista of the year award!! My doppio was as stout as it could be like Guinness beer (except it was hot). The Donut Stuffed Apple Pie Cookie was exactly as the name says its ingredients. They really achieved the perfection to make this pastry. This place is absolutely amazing; the service to the quality, I mean every aspect of a business should be is all there. I'm impressed!! read more

Decent coffee place on right on the park Pluses: #1 location, this is my go to when I want to walk my dog to the park. Its gorgeous. #2 the food. I believe its all gluten free, which isn't something im ever looking for, but I do have to respect when a place can turn out great treats with that kind of restriction. The coffee itself, not my favorite, but ok. I swear they dont know the difference between a cappuccino and a latte, which is fine, and Im not a coffee snob, but they always seem more milk heavy than they should be. Also, dont bother ordering online, I thought it would save time. Nope. Maybe at Starbucks it does, but here it puts you at the back of the line. Which honestly I respect because it sucks to be standing in line and watching people come in and get served while you wait. And Ive never waited long just ordering at the counter. That being said, if Im coming here I focus on the teas not the coffees. The teas selection is much more artisanal and probably deeper than anything else you can get in the area without going to a teahouse. read more

I can't wait to come back for more biscuits and lattes! This was an instant favorite. Cute and clean, great service, and the tasty little treats will just knock your socks off. 10/10. read more

My cappuccino was not bitter enough, but otherwise was good. I got the vegetable quiche which was well constructed, but not heated throughout. Can't find any flaws in the breakfast sandwich with sausage. The biscuit outer layer had a nice cheddar cheese flavor. The egg and sausage made for great balance. Over all, a solid way to begin the day. read more

Atmosphere - Very Good. The store is a little small. However, it was bright and clean in appearance. There are a handful of tables inside and out. It seems like a significant part of their business is takeout as there are a handful of chairs along the wall for use by people waiting for their order. Service - Very good. But then it is basic counter service. Food - Very Good the Blueberry Crumble bar was a decent size and and tasted very good. The hot chocolate was just OK. Overall Value - Very Good. Prices are reasonable given the quality read more

Twice in one week - that's how good this spot is. Okay so actually we've been to both locations to see what's up and both are absolutely amazing. This location is much bigger, more seating, and very pup friendly. The staff was super kind and offered great customer service. Music was awesome, I will always be happy with any spot playing Fleetwood Mac. The food and coffee came out super fast and was super delish. This is becoming one of my absolute faves in Denver! read more

I don't want to knock River & Roads too hard, so I'll be polite and give them a 4-star review with some disclaimers. It's a cute shop, ample street parking, patio seating and space indoors. The donut holes are delicious and loaded with sprinkles and the food going out looked very good. From a coffee standpoint, offering cow's milk or oat as the only alternative is frustrating. Give the consumer more than one plant based choice; especially if you're charging $1 extra for a 2-oz pour in my cortado. Ridiculous. Oat milk is loaded with carbs and makes the coffee overly creamy and masks the taste of espresso. Due to this, my husband skipped a latte and just got a drip. I opted for a cortado instead of a larger drink. We then drove down south and grabbed a latte at Corvus, who offered almond milk. read more

Stopped at Rivers and Roads Coffee while in Denver & had a great breakfast! Everything on the menu looked super tasty but I ended up ordering the veggie breakfast sandwich on my friend's recommendation. The sandwich was delicious- eggs, pesto and cheese served on a cheesy biscuit. My husband had the breakfast hash which he said was good. R&R offer baked goods and pastries as well which most or all are gluten free! There is plenty of indoor and outdoor seating which is great because it can get very busy on the weekends. read more
