Our friends had just discovered this gem in Denver right before we were heading to Denver for a…read moreweek, so we just had to stop in. It is a former theatre building converted into a bookstore which was formerly family owned. Eventually it was sold to Barnes & Noble, but under the condition they kept it like it was. So, you get a Barnes & Noble that doesn't feel like a Barnes & Noble. It was really fun exploring the place and seeing the layout of an old theatre, especially the downstairs area where they host special events and have a lot of clearance books. Kat was really helpful with a search for us while we were there. All the employees we interacted with were very friendly and helpful. We each picked up some books and got our Barnes & Noble's discount, which seemed like an extra bonus at the time. Very fun place. Pro tip - best parking is behind the bookstore.

I spend a good hour browsing around and left with 3 new books. It was one of the nation's largest independent bookstore, sad to see it was bought by Barnes & Nobles two years ago. Still has an independent feel though which I appreciate.

We checked out Hoja for breakfast on a Saturday and loved it. There is a covered, heated patio in…read morethe back that is clean, warm in chilly weather, and dog friendly. I ordered a daily special, the Chupa Cabra burrito, made gluten free. (They use 4 corn tortillas in place of the flour wrap.) Kids ordered waffles, and I also got the almond chai. ALL were delicious (the photos don't do it justice.) I ate most of my burrito but left room for a gluten free Tahini Blondie. When we left at 10:15, more customers were heading in for brunch. I can tell this is a neighborhood favorite, especially by their Hall of Fame (dozens of Polaroids up on the wall of local pups). This place is good for a date, or family outing, or just grab and go. I wish we lived closer, we would eat here a bunch!

This is a fantastic spot for folks also looking to work from home / finish up schoolwork, etc. to come. The environment feels peaceful and the decor adds to the ambiance. We will be back!

My twin boys are in the military and one of them is a helicopter pilot. So, this pilot and aircraft…read morethemed eatery is one of their favorite places in Denver. Plus, the calzones are simply fantastic. I asked the twins where they wanted to go for dinner on their birthday and they both said, "The Afterburner". We walked in and were met by Hillary, one of the owners. She treated us like gold and chatted us up the entire time she was making our calzones. When we sat down with our beer and calzones, we were impressed by the sheer quantity of ingredients Hillary managed to jam into our calzones. It was my first experience with Franks Hot Sauce and that shit is addictive good. When Hillary found out if was their birthday, she gifted them both a huge chocolate chip cookie a piece. About halfway through our meal, the other owner walked in. His name is Ben. He chatted us up for an hour about planes and other such aviation oriented things. My sons had an absolute blast talking to Ben and bullshitting about all things military. The aviation theme and the references to TopGun make this place tons of fun. Thank you Hillary and Ben for making their birthday dinner incredible.

They do really fun events throughout the year, from seasonal stuff to regular ones like cat yoga and bingo, which honestly make it worth going back again and again. My boyfriend even surprised me by planning my birthday party here, and we had the best time. I have cats at home (I LOVE my kitties and they're very much my fur children), but there's something really special about hanging out with other people's cats and having them choose to come sit with you or curl up on you. It just makes the whole experience feel so sweet and personal. The adoptable cats that rotate through are always fun to meet, and the resident cat Toast is basically a pro at greeting everyone who walks in. I seriously can't recommend this place enough.

I understand that rescues want to make sure cats go to the right homes, and I fully support that…read more However, my experience with this cat cafe and the associated Happy Cats has been extremely frustrating due to lack of transparency and communication. A few month after may cat passed away, I found a bonded pair through this rescue that I fell in love with. I was told they would stay at the cafe as "ambassador cats" for about six weeks before their adoption window opened, and that I should submit an application and add my name to the list. I applied right away and was encouraged to visit them at the cafe in the meantime. Visits cost $11, which I was happy to pay because I wanted to spend time with them. Over the next several months I visited around 15 times and regularly asked staff about the adoption timeline. Each time I was told "soon". Then one day weeks later one employee said "oh those cats are not going anywhere for a long time". That six-week window eventually turned into about 3 months. only after all that time did I learn there are at least 23 people on the list for these cats, meaning there was never any realistic expectation that I would actually be able to adopt them. After months of visits, emotional investment, and an application already on file, and hearing that the cats "are not going anywhere for a long time", I finally gave up hope and said my goodbyes to the kitties I adored. Clearer communication and realistic expectations from the beginning would make a huge difference. Basically, If you are looking to adopt, this is not the place to go - their business model does not work. If you want to cuddle kitties, its pretty nice.

I rarely ever leave bad reviews, but this was the worst experience I've had in my entire life, and…read moreI've been EVERYWHERE. I was harassed to order and accused of using their wifi for free. I've never been treated with such poor customer service. Here is what happened: I walked into this tiny shop with 4-5 people in line. There was nowhere to stand so I took a spot in the corner to wait. I waited around 10 minutes for the line to go down; but I had already hopped into an important work call. My large (over the ear) headphones were on, yet the owner (or worker?) approached me and basically snapped his fingers at me asking what I wanted to order. I said I will order in a few minutes as I'm wrapping up an EXTREMELY important work item/call that cannot be interrupted. He came BACK 30 seconds later to tell me I need to order to sit there. I already have been having the worst day (I won't get into it) so I stood up and said I will no longer be ordering as I don't want to give a business who operates this way my money. I went outside to the table because I was unable to stop my work- he screamed that I need to order to use their wifi. I said "I'm on my phone's hotspot". He followed me out to point to the sign that says order to sit. I literally moved to the floor and this guy starts packing up all of the tables and chairs. They closed in 30 minutes so it appeared as if they wanted me to leave so they can close early since I was the only one in their shop. Then I heard him talking and laughing about me to the shop owner next door (recovering hipster) who loudly said "welcome to colfax" as if I'm a homeless person (there was one sitting on the curb 15 feet away btw!!). I was wearing my full suit and pant work outfit. WTF?? TLDR; they harassed me to order and accused me of using their wifi (I was on my phones hotspot btw- I've never been here to get their wifi password) all within me sitting there for less than a minute after the line died down. Extremely unprofessional and/or racist??? Never in my life have I been treated so poorly. Disgraceful. They proceeded to record me as if I was doing something illegal. I wonder if I am able to seek legal action about this, because how is this acceptable for a business to operate in such a way...Also- this place was extremely dirty, but that's the least worrisome thing here.
