If I had to pick one breakfast spot in all of Denver, it would be Stowaway. A charming, relaxed spot in a great location, Stowaway has it all. The staff is friendly and helpful, the coffee is good (and strong!), and the food is both delicious and unique. They have a large assortment of vegetarian and fish-forward meals, many of which contain things I would never think to put together...but it works. The Colorful Colorado is my personal favorite, with enough zing from the vinegar to really amp up the flavors. Absolutely get whatever the fruited bread is, even if you've never liked bread with fruit in it before (I fall into that camp, but this bread has converted me - warm, hearty, flavorful, with salted butter? It's all I want to eat now). If you're ready for a new favorite place, come here - you won't regret it! read more

1.5. Years. That's how young Stowaway is. The food. I say this with a look of disgust towards me and not Stowaway. It's not for me. Why? My friend said because it's too healthy? I would say it's too complicated. And tiny. So I was left hungry and wanting more. My breakfast normally is very manly. Eggs, sausage or bacon and some eggs. That's it. Maybe a toast, it's not here. Since I am obviously not meant for this place I ended up ordering their Killer Whale Granola. It's house almond and pomegranate granola, whipped yogurt, pecan - coconut crumble, bananas and poached goji berries. This was good. But like I said...simple manly breakfast ....not here...too trendy. read more

You know it's a good meal when you leave and are already plotting the next time you can return! We accidentally ended up here after our initial breakfast plan fell through. They say everything happens for a reason, right? First things first, I love the whole design of the place. It's clean, airy and bright. Perfect for waking up! It's everything I dream my coming-in-thirty-years-breakfast-slash-wine-bar-cafe-and-restaurant could look like. Second, the food! Breakfast is my favorite meal of the day and my head was reeling looking at all the options. I ended up ordering the mushroom and thyme tartine. Sautéed chantrelle and crimini mushrooms on sourdough, with spiced labneh, pickled red onions and a poached egg. I also stole bites of banana bread. I really enjoyed my dish and would encourage everyone who's not opposed to the whole mushrooms for breakfast thing to try it. I didn't try the coffee but I'm sure it's great. Stowaway won my heart and I'll certainly be back! read more

Stowaway has the best breakfast in Denver by a mile (no pun intended)! Every dish I've tried has been exceptional, and the atmosphere can't be beat. Be sure to bring your friends and family here when they're in town (and get there early to beat the rush if you can!). read more

Oh my goodness gracious -- I would like to shout from the roof tops about how amazing my lunch was from here today. I had the veggie lunch set and I cannot tell you loudly enough: THIS WAS THE MOST PERFECT MEAL. It is some legit Japanese home cooking (girl, I felt that in my SOUL)-- that mushroom rice, spinach side, and kabocha was ON. POINT. And this was by far the best miso soup I have ever eaten in a restaurant (I see you daikon, and I appreciate you, hand cut tofu). To the chef who made my food -- I wish I could hug you. Thank you. Also -- excellent service, beautiful space -- I wish you guys the best! read more

Stowaway Kitchen - Veggie lunch set; the most perfect meal in existence. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Denver, Colorado

Just get the japanese asa-gohan! I had a reservation, but decided to come early and wait the 45 minutes on a Sunday morning because my reservation would have cut too close to my meeting. The seating host seemed to be a bit rude, not that much to me...but I heard another customer commenting on it to their friends. Once I was seated I knew what I wanted to order since I had the 45 minutes to review the menu. I got the Japanese asa-gohan, black sesame + blueberry waffle, and a raspberry rose donut (donuts ONLY served on Sundays). The Japanese asa-gohan was delicious! I mixed everything together and ate it up. Amazing. Also, super pretty so make your friends jealous with some photos! The waffle was okay. I was intrigued because I love black sesame...but that flavor didn't really come through and while the waffle was good...it was more so like a regular waffle with some very creamy whipped cream and berries. The donut was also okay. I actually got it because some locals told me how they are only served on Sundays and I don't know the next time that I will be in Denver. I had it at night after a company dinner and while it was good...it wasn't spectacular. All in all, I am really happy I went and I'd like to try another donut because they change the flavors and the filled ones look good! read more

You can make reservations and would recommend for a weekend. Their coffee was also great. Great brunch spot on the way out of town. read more

I NEVER go out to eat any more. With two kids its tricky. As a single mama, it's near impossible. Eating out at delicious eatery's is one of my FAVORITE pastimes. I spent 15 years in the service industry and I love great food! And I love and appreciate great service. I've been following STOWAWAY on instagram for almost a year. So excited for when I would get to try what looked to be delicious fares. So today, I made the effort!! I got my daughter and myself ready, drove the 40 minutes from Littleton, did the laps around RINO to find parking and FINALLY made it STOWAWAY! YAY! So excited. Finally get seated. Takes a minute plus some for them to come take my drink order. Get my drink. I spill a little of it (hungry and clumsy don't mix.. thank god for baby wipes! Since there wasn't a server in sight to ask for a towel so I could clean up my mess). I continued to Entertain my toddler. The tables around us get their food (we were seated directly after them). And finally, after waiting 20+ minutes.. "Can I take your order?" "Actually, no. We're leaving. This service is awful. You've ignored us. Please get me my check." "Oh sorry. We're understaffed." Duh!! Everyone is understaffed. Where I work is understaffed. This is where you rise above your staffing issues and give exemplary service. You can have the best food in the city.. But if your service stinks. Then your restaurant stinks. It's not the food that makes the restaurant. It's the WHOLE EXPERIENCE. AND YOU FAILED STOWAWAY. So I paid for my drink. And I did not tip. And I'm not ashamed. If I was a server still, and had just given that poor of service, I would not be expecting a tip. I would not be entitled to a tip. A few more notes: *If you have a patio, assign a dedicated patio server; so your patio guests don't get overlooked and your servers aren't like "oh, well, I thought you were taking care of that table" to each other. *If you cannot handle the tables you currently have, do not continue to seat new tables until your other tables have been taken care of. (4 tables were seated after us) *Treat every table the same. Don't look at a table with a mom and toddler and automatically assume, "ugh, I'm not going to make any money off this table so why does it matter how my service is". I was ready to put down. I had 3 entrees picked out. I had a cocktail in hand. It would have been a quick turnover, because, well, toddlers don't last long at tables. It would have been quick, easy money. But your servers chose to overlook us. That's a shame. I will say this though. My drink was delicious. And it's the only reason we waited as long as we did. Oh, AND THEN.. They blocked me on their Instagram. Cause that's right action to take, you know, instead of maybe, an apology?! Novel idea. read more

Stowaway Kitchen - The Colorful Colorado - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Denver, Colorado

I love this place! They have some really unique menu items. I tried 1. root beer milk- this is milk flavored like root beer. It was a bit too sweet but I loved the idea and am a fan of both root beer and milk. 2. oolong tea- they give you a whole pot 3. Welcome to Colorful Colorado ($13)- salt vinegar hash, ham, pickled radish, asparagus, spicy adobo sauce and poached eggs - this was delicious! One of the best breakfasts I've had in a while. It was fresh, unique and perfectly seasoned 4. spiced fruit toast $5- apricot and prune toast with whipped salted butter- this was ok. I loved how unique it was but it was a pretty dense toast 5. some kind of granola and yogurt dish- this was alright as well The Welcome to Colorado dish and the open/modern ambience here makes this place a 5 stars in my book! read more

Great breakfast- worth the wait. Reservation is a must. The service was polite and friendly.

I keep forgetting about this place, but while family was visiting, they wanted to try. During Covid, they are accepting RSVP only for dine in, since ir was last minute and just placed my order for pick up online. We got the waffles covered in peaches, eggplant sandwich without the halloumi and the Colorado hash. All were really good. My brother is a vegan and said the sandwich was excellent, the eggplant wasn't slimy or too mushy. My sister in law really enjoyed her waffle as well. The hash had 2 perfectly poached eggs, ham, veggies and pickled onion, the pickled onion was great with this dish. The food was ready on time in 30 min and it's great to have a great brunch place nearby. The restaurant is really cute inside too and they make their own breads and muffins. Make sure you give them a try! read more

Probably some of the best food I've ever had! The baked good were phenomenal and the Japanese chicken sandwich was amazing!

'Rough around the edges' atmosphere, unique but tasty breakfast and lunch menu, and a very responsive, courteous staff make for an excellent dining experience. Highly recommended, especially for the healthier options missing on many breakfast menus. Enjoy. read more

Visited stowaway kitchen on a Sunday around 8:30am. It was a bit busy but were seated right away. There seem to be no waiting line even after we left at 9:30am so you might be safe arriving before 9:30am without having to wait. The parking was easy to find on the side street and it is free on Sunday. I went with the Colorful Colorado. Really enjoyed the spicy adobo sauce thought that it gave the dish a kick. My wife went with the scram sandwich which was good but we had mu her higher expectations. Overall a great place to try out. Here are my ratings: Colorful Colorado: 8.5/10 Scram sandwich: 8/10 read more

I LOVE trying new brunch places. And as soon as I saw a sourdough waffle with saffron cream and grilled peaches on the menu, I knew I had to come in. Also got to try the japanese asa-gohan dish, which was basically like a poke bowl with cooked salmon instead of raw. Highly recommend adding a little soy sauce to this dish (or even just a pinch of salt) to get the full flavor. The restaurant has a patio and great open-air feel for those who are just getting back into eating at restaurants post-covid-shelter-in-place. Heads up when you're heading over, the restaurant is basically unmarked. Look for a tent sign ;) read more

Brunch was absolutely delicious! I got the Colorful Colorado and it was divine - ate every bite. The vibe is casual/hipster but not pretentious. Would definitely return for the creative menu items! read more

These guys know their coffee! Would highly recommend treating yourself to their delicious homemade sourdough fruit toast (mine had delicious apricots and came with two extra thick toasted slices) with a cold portion of salted butter for spreading and their fresh coffee. It comes with a free refill so I got the opportunity to try two amazing brews. Both were darker roasts which isn't usually my thing but I can't recommend stowaway enough! You really get a sense of community paying this place a little visit! read more

I am surprised by all the high reviews. This place was ok but nothing spectacular. Maybe, it's because everything seems local. We had coffee and a chai tea, both were good. We also charged the colorful Colorado which was good but not mind blowing and didn't make think I need to run back. The reason for my three star is that service is slow. The place was not busy but they are slow like molasses. The presentation of the food was very nice. read more

In a world of hour wait times for brunch, Stowaway is a freakin gem! They sat us immediately and we had quite possibly the best food we've had so far in Denver. I had the eggplant halloumi and bf had the colorful Colorado. Both were absolutely divine! The pickled radish on the CO was so good and everything about the sandwich was perfection. Amazing service too! can not recommend this spot enough!!! read more

Honestly was really disappointed with what we came into... the menu is very limited and just not what we expected after looking on Yelp the food looked good. But this is not good. I feel like we're eating bird food and rabbit food. We also asked for dirty iced chai's and whatever we got is not chai. It does have spices but this must be some organic bs. The mocha was disgusting. They work up the donuts and they really aren't good. Aren't like a donut at all, weird texture and taste so weird. We have been waiting for over an hour and a half just to have food. Hard pass on coming back here read more

Food: 4.0 of 5.0 Service: 5.0 of 5.0 Environment: 5.0 of 5.0 Hyped expectations lead to positive/neutral experience in terms of food. Perhaps my expectations were far too high. My foodie friend whose opinion with food I generally agree with was ecstatic about this place. She had just eaten here the morning before and wanted to go again the very next morning. I was expecting to be blown away. The wait on a Sunday morning @ 10 am took about 10 minutes. This menu is incredibly simple but with a decent amount of diversity. We ordered the scram breakfast sandwich, colorful Colorado, Japanese asa-gohan. All of our meals were good but I was expecting greatness. Overall a pleasant experience with a neat hip environment and attentive wait staff. read more

Favorite brunch spot in Denver (or contending the top). I've been here 2-3 times now and I'm always super happy when I leave. Great service, great vibe and great food. Vibe: conveniently located in RiNo to grab some food in a spot where theres a bunch to do, or a meal before you go day drink. I havent been inside since pre-COVID but it was quaint, well lit and cozy. Well decorated and just a cool place to check out. Food: I've had a few different things off their menu but personal favorite is the japanese asa-gohan. Eggs, salmon, rice. Its phenomenal, flavorful and different than your typical brunch go to foods. Their other foods are also different and fun, would love to try more. Also they offer some good coffee from good local roasters, a big plus for me. Long story short: love the brunch menu, have to come back for lunch. Likely I'll be surprised in a positive way read more

Food was amazing! We sampled all the baked goods, then were unable to finish our meals! Tart, coffee cake, and scone were life changing.

You really can't go wrong with any of the brunch items--everything's super tasty, but if you really want a rec, go with the Colorful Colorado or Mushroom Tartine! read more

Scram breakfast sandwich + avocado. Easily the best breakfast sandwich in the whole wide world. I take all my friends here and hype it up and it still lives up to expectations every single time. One friend took his first bite, set the sandwich back down, and applauded. The other menu items are also delicious but nothing is as amazing as the scram sandwich. Just do it! I'm serious. It's more mind-blowingly awesome than Eggslut and the wait for a table is never more than 15-20 minutes. The coffee side of things is a little rough, or at least I had a suboptimal experience. I ordered a cashew milk mocha and got a latte instead. I was planning on just drinking it and not saying anything, but it was super acidic and really just not good. I asked for some simple syrup to try and fix it, and they were kind enough to offer to remake my mocha since the latte was already cold. The mocha ended up being made with regular milk and was pretty meh. I also got it at the end of my meal and didn't really want it at that point. They offered half off for the drink, but I probably wouldn't get a coffee next time I'm here. They do have some more unique fruit juices that are yum! Unless you really need the coffee for the caffeine, I'd save the latte splurge for another spot. read more

Best brunch I've had in a very long time! Highly recommend the porridge, colorful Colorado, and Japanese asa-gohan. Also had an amazing Mexican chocolate donut. I'm sure everything is delicious here! Our server Hayden was very knowledgeable and helpful. The only downside to our brunch experience was as we were waiting for a bill to come, the hostess approached us, and said there are people waiting two hours for this table. Don't want to rush you, but essentially we need you to leave. I was so caught off guard and made uncomfortable that it ruined our delicious dining experience. I hadn't even received my bill and was just waiting to pay so I could leave. Once I got to the car I realized we had been there for one hour and 15 minutes which I don't find to be excessive at all. We definitely plan to come back but hopefully the management staff can find a better way to approach time limits and how to handle customers if that is an issue. read more
