Top of the Town 2012

Crunchy, chewy, fluffy, and crumbly: We want our cookies to have it all—and the Tree Haus Bistro delivers. The flavors change regularly, but, if available, try the pain au chocolate (Tree Haus’ version is shortbread, Nutella, and chopped nuts) or the gluten-free oatmeal chocolate-chip (the walnuts and subtle hint of nutmeg are sublime). Sit under the large cottonwood tree outside the converted Victorian and take a sweet break from your day. 1707 Lafayette St., 303-484-9728, treehausbistro.com
