Sausage croissant sandwich
Julie B.

We're visiting from Nashville and stumbled upon this place and had the most delicious breakfast! First of all the service was amazing! The gentleman who took our order and served our food was wonderful. He even brought a pitcher of ice coffee since four of us had ordered individual glasses. There were six of us and we all enjoyed ever plate. The cherry on top was the classical music station playing the Oppenheimer score! Thanks so much for a great start to the morning.

I needed a quick bite in the Cap Hill area, and this place was the closest diner in the area, so I popped in on a whim. It being a Friday morning, the place wasn't too busy and I was greeted with friendly staff and a cozy cottage-core atmosphere. There's just something about listening to classical music with a cup of joe while overlooking Park Ave surrounded by plastic flowers. I don't mean this in a snide way, this place has history and it's not afraid to show it. I ordered the biscuits and gravy. While a lot of diners tend to serve intimating portions, I was presented with a modest biscuit, egg, and about a half cup of gravy. For me this is the perfect portion. The gravy was well-balanced and the biscuit, while not anything amazing, were light, and stood out in the dish. The food knew was it was about and didn't need to impress anybody. For $13 plus tip, this place is a great deal. I'll have to bring some friends here for a good, affordable, and cozy breakfast. This place comes straight out of an early Francis Ford Coppola movie, and I'm here for every second of it.

Tuna salad sandwich, the far is a breakfast sandwich.

The food was absolutely phenomenal! How this place has less than 5 stars is beyond me, but I enjoyed the hospitality and the food. Delicious.

Gf french toast and eggs

Great, clean, lil diner rocking classical music and getting comfort food like only a few can do! Thank you chef Mike and his son Nick. Y'all do great job for the community. The soups are amazing and you'll like everything on the menu!

Spices Cafe was the culinary highlight of our entire trip. My group of three came to Spices Cafe for breakfast on an early Sunday morning. Although the reviews warned of long wait times, the cafe was practically empty when we arrived (around 8AM). The early bird gets the worm after all! Menus are situated on a stand by the front door, so we grabbed a few and helped ourselves to table on the quiet European style patio. Shortly thereafter a server dropped off some water and instructed us to order our meals at the register inside. BREAKFAST CROISSANT SANDWICH ($5.25): Everyone ordered this. By itself, the sandwich is vegetarian. My husband and brother-in-law got it with a sausage patty for an extra $1.75. The main ingredients are egg and cheese topped off by lettuce and tomato in a warm flaky croissant bun. The artichoke parmesan cream tied everything in together. I was plenty full by the time I finished this sandwich, but I'd recommend getting a side of fresh fruit or fluffy hashbrowns ($2.25) like my dining counterparts did. 4/5 Spices Cafe is serving up awesome food at reasonable prices in a cute cafe.

This little gem is amazing! My wife and I recently visited here on a Saturday morning for brunch. We weren't disappointed! The portion sizes were HUGE, the service was FAST. What else could you wish for?!?! We ordered the cheese omelette with pancakes on a side. The pancakes were very fluffy and delicious and came with strawberries on a side. The gentleman who served us was very polite and welcoming. Will be back soon.

Breakfast croissant

Nice quiet place, good service, tasty breakfast, fresh ingredients, definitely coming back!

Yogurt & Granola

A great homey café for brunch! This cafe is a small gem on colfax. Feels like a small pop's café with friendly local staff. Don't be tricked by their cost-effective menu! Not only is their food tasty, they also have generous portions. There's limited seating inside. I personally recommend sitting outside during warmer months. They have a cute and quiet outside seating space. Got the granola and yogurt and was impressed by the vanilla yogurt and the generous portions. If you're a vanilla fan, the yogurt is a must-try. Got the denver omelette the next time I went and was again, thoroughly satisfied. Not the fanciest place to get brunch compared to Denver's other cool and hip brunch locations. BUT! If you're ever looking for a quick warm filling option, I highly recommend (:

Denver Omelette, side of pancakes
Manuel M.

First time visiting the great state of Colorado, and the city of Denver. Great spot for breakfast. Very home feeling! Fresh ingredients, great coffee. Highly recommended!!!

Maxine H.

This place is a real gem I love it! Michael is the best and we always get blt on croissant, with fries and onion rings they are delicious. Also the meatloaf sandwich is worth mentioning and I love the pancakes. It's always super clean and tidy, and the service is great. The food is painfully consistent and always absolutely the best. Sometimes they are closed for catering and I'm so sad. Hit this place up!

Elizabeth R.

The most amazing breakfast food. Best breakfast burrito in Denver! Family owned and it shows. Every time we go it's good. This is a must try!

They use Napa cabbage as the base and it felt like they didn't dry it well after washing the lettuce. My salad was pretty wet. The burger was fantastic! The bacon was thick and perfectly cooked. I love goat cheese on a burger and the tomato marmalade added a nice tang. On my 2nd visit, my friend and I shared the Rocky Mountain Oysters appetizer because when you're in Colorado you have to have them! They're lightly breaded and fried, so they have a nice crunch. The horseradish dip is tasty! Service was excellent both visits! They kept my iced tea glass refilled and were quick with anything I needed. I also liked that their outdoor patio is on the 16th street mall, next to a street that's closed to cars, so you don't get a ton of car traffic and fumes. Instead you can people watch and enjoy the pretty sky art while you eat.

Absolutely Exceptional…read more Jack's on Pearl exceeded every expectation. As Texas transplants, we've enjoyed some incredible steakhouses over the years and have traveled extensively, but this was truly one of the best dining experiences we've had. We even drove up from Colorado Springs for our 18th wedding anniversary, and it was worth every mile. We started with the wedge salad, which was fresh, crisp, and packed with flavor--easily one of the best wedge salads we've ever had. The warm bread service was incredible and paired perfectly with the house-made spreads. The mac and cheese was rich, creamy, and absolutely unforgettable. The highlight of the evening was the Wagyu steak topped with cheesy potato croquettes. It was cooked to perfection and so tender it practically melted in your mouth. Every bite was packed with incredible flavor and was one of those dishes you continue talking about long after the meal is over. What impressed us most was that every single item we ordered was exceptional. The quality of the ingredients, attention to detail, presentation, atmosphere, and service were all top-notch. After reading some of the reviews beforehand, we weren't sure what to expect. In our experience, this restaurant is incredibly underrated. Our meal, service, and overall experience were outstanding from start to finish. If you're looking for a special dinner, anniversary celebration, or simply one of the best meals you'll have in Colorado, Jack's on Pearl is absolutely worth the visit. We will definitely be back and will be recommending it to friends and family. Thank you to the entire team for making our 18th anniversary so memorable. -- Andrea & Sergio

Our first visit here was for a birthday on a Saturday evening at 5pm, we had reservations for six…read more The restaurant is very nicely appointed and the staff is excellent for the most part. The food and service was fantastic but pricey. We brought a cake because the birthday girl is celiac and they cordially offered to refrigerate it upon arrival. However, they did not tell us there's a cake cutting fee. I would have preferred to just bring it to the table and cut it myself. The cake cutting dragged the time way past our desired time to leave as we had a 7:30 show to catch, and the server was aware of this. The sever brought it out with our candles already lit which was great, but then left us alone for 15 minutes after he dropped it off with no plates or utensils. I finally chased him down and asked for these items, he came and whisked the cake away, then disappeared for another 10 minutes. I finally got up and found him near the servers station and once he saw me he pulled out the cake from around the corner in the kitchen and started cutting. Another server (wish I got his name) rudely said excuse me and lightly pushed me aside as if I was in his way. They clearly do not like it when people bring cakes. A gentleman later came to our table and apologized for the cake debacle and said they would waive the cutting fee. Gee, thanks. This definitely soured a good experience. Well, that and the cost of everything. We shared 3 sides and a couple apps, and probably 5 drinks, including 2 beers. It was over $120 per person. Only one person had steak. As a side note for management; Duck fat fries. The toy is gimmicky and toxic. Most plastics leech into hot food. I didn't try them for this reason.

She rarely checked up on us and tend to forget stuff we ordered it was to the point where I had to set a 20 min wait time expectation everytime we asked for something.
