    8" Kick'n Pesto
    My-Linh D.

    Went here for the first time on a Wednesday and it was vibing! They had karaoke and everyone who participated were incredible! They audience was supportive which made it a fun experience. I only got an 8 inch pesto pizza with artichoke and the crust is incredible. It's full of flavor!

    OMG just yes!!! What a random find for the coolest dive bar on Denver. With pizza and hot dog options for food, definitely more a bar hut has snacks if needed. The ambiance was rad and the bartenders were the bomb! Will definitely be back!!

    The bartender was so nice to us and our kids let them play the old fashion games and even gave us some history on the bar and dollars on the ceiling! It was a nice little walk from our air bnb!

    Yup, this place is bomb. Not only is your drink magically always full and delicious, their green chili is epic. Music, food, drinks, photo booth, money on the ceiling and a damn hip environment makes me wish I could put everything about this place in my pocket and take it with me wherever I go. Then, boop, pull it out and it would be an insta party, insta fun. Green chili tots, yes.

    YES, YES YES! LOVE this place!! It is absolutely fantastic!! It is full of character and charm. Visually pleasing with all kinds of colorful things to look at. The drink choices are so delicious! I really enjoyed the spicy puta drink!! The breakfast pizza was small, but mighty. Service was great. This is a full on gem of a spot!

    I dared him to get an item from someone and "wear" it lol. Good times at Owl Saloon!

    Omg. This was yesterday over on east Colfax. I was originally going to try Park Hill Hub but the…read morewait was too long so I wandered across the street to this gorgeous spacious eatery! It really gave me RVA (Richmond, VA circa early 2000s) nostalgia vibes like for places I worked in around Broadway during college! Wow. Love everything about this place. I'd been going to a lot of coffee shops lately where the style is all like new stuff and new style (which I LOVE) but the style of Tessa Delicatessen was so unexpectedly refreshing. I didn't realize that this part of Colfax was Park Hill! I saw a lot of other interesting places nearby. Can't wait to go back and wander! Not sure if it was the owner that greeted me at the register but she was very friendly and warm. I love the self serve coffee and water and you get to pick a unique mug to drink from. Really strong neighborhood vibe and I think she said it had been open since 2017. So cool! I'm obsessed with the spaciousness and space! My breakfast sandwich did explode all over my hand - so be careful! The egg is soft inside! I got coffee, cheesy hash and the breakfast sandwich. $25 for everything including tip. I think that's a great deal for a lovely morning vibe and breakfast in 2026!

We started with their traditional black eyed pea soup because good luck traditions matter. Shortly after, I "found" three dollars in my coat pocket. Was it already my change from the store? Yes. Did I still credit the soup? Also yes. From there, we leaned fully into deli mode. The cheeseburger was solid and satisfying, the Reuben hit all the right notes, and the macaroni salad was exactly what you want it to be. No frills, just done right. Dessert sealed the deal. The cheesecake was rich without being heavy, and the carrot cake was genuinely excellent. Tessa feels like one of those neighborhood spots you can come back to again and again. Comforting, straightforward, and very good at what they do. Fortune and prosperity aside, this place is worth a visit on its own.

Melts like your heart the first time you walk into that heavenly smell. Now, I say all this not just as a fan, but as a former Assistant Manager many moons ago . I've been in the sandwich trenches. I've rocked the slicer, I've battled the lunch rush, and I've smiled through the chaos when 17 online orders printed at once and the toaster started making noises like it was possessed. So I know what it takes behind that counter. And let me say shoutout to the crew working the other night. It was hopping, and they were hustling! But real talk... the vibe at the front counter? Could use a little extra snarf love. A smile, a "thanks for waiting," a moment of sandwich-inspired human kindness. You know, the stuff that keeps people coming back just as much as the spicy giardiniera. Because at the end of the day, SNARF'S isn't just about what's between the bread it's about the people behind the counter and the ones waiting to get their hands on that cheesy, meaty masterpiece. Let's keep it delicious, but let's also keep it kind. Still a Snarf-head for life.

I deviated a bit from my normal latte or drip coffee and splurged on their "golden coffee": a beautiful cup of coffee with Nutella, steamed milk, whipped cream, pistachio and sparkles. It was a bit pricey at $12 but I regret absolutely nothing. The only thing keeping me from full marks is that it's not super stroller/baby friendly and these days that's important to me. Seriously though, a fabulous spot and I'm planning on returning for a little me time in the near future. The food looks so good I need to give it a try!

    Leven Deli Co. is what would happen if Ron Swanson opened a Jewish deli in downtown Denver and let…read moresouthern blues play over the speakers while he worked. There's no performance here, no hospitality theater, no one asking how the first few bites are treating you. You walk up to the counter, you order, you take a number, you sit down. The food does the talking. And the food has a lot to say. I went on a bright Wednesday morning with a couple of friends and ordered the classic breakfast, swapping bacon for pastrami (a first for me) with an everything biscuit on the side (also a first). Both were revelations. The eggs over-hard might be the best version of that order I've ever gotten from a restaurant -- just a whisper of uncooked yolk in the center, perfectly seared on both sides. Skillet potatoes were spot-on. The skillet pastrami was rich and properly crisped at the edges. And the two generous slices of sourdough arrived with a scratch-made blueberry jam that I ended up smearing on everything I could -- sourdough, biscuit, probably would've eaten it with a spoon if no one was looking. My friend ordered the breakfast sandwich, which clearly belongs in the staples category. The baguette was the star: toasted outside, pillow-soft inside, zero tug-of-war with your teeth. That detail alone tells you the kitchen cares. This is the Ron Swanson part: there's an unapologetic confidence to this place. They know exactly what they're doing, they're not trying to oversell it, and they're not interested in charming you into liking it. They're just going to hand you something excellent and trust you to figure out the rest. The coffee was good. The food was setting-a-benchmark good. A real 5 out of 5 stars, no pickin nits. Mild observation, not a complaint: the service is counter-only, no traditional table service. Would Matthew McConaughey or Reese Witherspoon dropping plates off elevate the experience? Sure. But Ron wouldn't have it any other way, and honestly, neither would I after eating here. If I lived within 45 minutes of downtown Denver, this would be my destination breakfast. As it is, I'm a 12 hour drive away, and if it were only 11, perhaps I'd go tomorrow. The real downside? The food was so good I completely forgot to take a picture.

    In Denver on the way home tonight and need a great sandwich for the plane. I've been to Denver…read morenumerous times and have never heard of Levan's Deli. That changes tonight. We arrived at noon only to find a huge crowd with everyone enjoying outside dining on a sunny day. This place is hopping and the staff is working their butts off. The energy here super high and I wish we were not pressed for time. We ordered a 12 day old pastrami on an unbelievable home-made toasted rye bread with Jarlsberg, Levin sauce and cabbage. The sandwich was hot, tasty and flavor-packed. The crust was a bit tough but it did not stop me from inhaling. The menu is vast, energy is high and this is a place you just were you want to be. I can't wait to return with plenty of time to drool over the menu and survey the dishes flying out of the kitchen. Great job, fun environment and tasty food, congrats Levin Deli!
