"TBD The Breakfast Den, a cozy bohemian cafe at 15th and South, should really be called TVBD (The Vietnamese Breakfast Den). It’s not that the traditional American breakfast options are bad—the egg-and-cheese sammy and mini bacho cakes are pretty solid. But it’s the Vietnamese dishes that are the standouts. Sneak in during the week for crispy eggplant bánh mì and breakfast rice bowls, or take your chances amongst the masses on the weekends. The Thit Ko Hash—a mountain of tender pulled pork, jalapeño, melted cheddar, and two fried eggs—is worth the wait." - alison kessler
"At TBD The Breakfast Den, a cozy cafe at 15th and South, it’s all about the Vietnamese dishes. The mountain of thit ko hash, a mildly sweet, tender pork hash with a kick of jalapeño, is worth calling out sick to eat. But for an ideal day off, you’ll also need an order of the mini bacho cakes. These silver dollars are packed with both bacon bits and chocolate chips, nailing that ideal sweet-savory breakfast combo, and offset some of the heat from the spicier mains." - candis mclean, alison kessler

"The Breakfast Den serves Vietnamese and American breakfast classics, remixed and intertwined until you’re not sure which is which. Think summer rolls filled with eggs and bacon, and a breakfast hash made with Vietnamese pulled pork. Cap your meal off with a sweet, strong Vietnamese iced coffee, and you’ll be properly fueled for wherever the day takes you." - Maddy Sweitzer-Lamme
