Fresh-baked breads made daily from Udi's Artisan Bakery are the highlight of this fast and casual café. For breakfast try the pulled pork sandwich on a pretzel bun with a fresh-brewed coffee. Enjoy a mango chicken salad or a French dip sandwich for lunch. 

Try a creamy latte and a fresh pumpkin muffin for a good cause. This shop, a part of the Emily Griffth Technical College, employs refugees and immigrants who earn necessary employment experience. It contains a full espresso bar and pastries baked fresh by the college's baking program. Bonus: The fair trade espresso beans are roasted by Denver's Kalati Brothers Coffee. 

Treat your sweet tooth at this collision of swanky lounge and morning coffee bar. Indulge your senses and try the 20-layer cake (alternating between flourless chocolate cake and caramel mousse) with coffee from locally owned Novo. 

American and Scandinavian cuisine collide at this urban bistro. With an emphasis on fresh, local, and simple food, Trillium offers a variety of options, from small plates (foie gras mousse and seared Maine scallops) to hearty fare (grilled beef tenderloin and Long Farm pork chops).

The fall-off-the-bone rib combo stacks up baby back, beef, and pork ribs to blend the casual with inimitable cocktails like the Smoke & Oak—a cocktail aged in oak barrels and served over a smoked chunk of ice.

If you are searching for a low-key sports bar to watch the big game, look no further. Settle down at the bar and order the $1.50 tacos or a $2 breakfast burrito. 

Enjoy the French-inspired cuisine made with local, sustainable products as you sip cocktails in a dining room that opens right onto Cherry Creek.
