I did think that this was a cool spot, we had just landed in Denver and wanted a quick bite to eat before heading to Breck. Everything was pretty good and I liked the layout of the restaurant. However I ordered the Buffalo Chicken Sandwich and i would say that it did honestly taste like they used canned chicken. The salad was great and everyone else in my group enjoyed their sandwiches. I'd maybe give it another shot.

Very friendly, welcoming and helpful staff. Great atmosphere! Loved that there's an inside and outside option! Coffee was delicious and I can't wait to come back and try more!

This place is amazing as long as you utilize it as a hangout and drinks place only. There aren’t very many places in the area where you can get coffee after 5pm unless you’re still a Starbucks fan. Chips & salsa: The salsa is just Pace. If they’re not going to make it fresh, I wish they would at least buy something yummy and localish. This is Denver - Pace ain’t it. Chips are out of a bag, which is fine. Just a heads up if you’re expecting something else. Lunch sandwiches: Edible, but they’re priced like a dedicated sandwich shop. The (lack of) attention to detail, ingredients, and size just doesn’t pass muster for the price. Also, one time the buzzer they handed me didn’t go off and no one bothered to come looking for me (fair enough), so my sandwich sat at the counter for 30 minutes. I saw other people who ordered after me having their food brought to their tables (why’d I get the buzzer?) which is what prompted me to go check and see if the sandwich sitting at the counter was mine. When I explained it didn’t go off, I was met with silence. Weird. However, the atmosphere can’t be beat. They have every kind of seating imaginable and the patio is huge. I’ve never had a below-stellar interaction with the people working the happy hour shift. Lots of beer & cocktail options + coffee & tea if you’re not feeling alcohol.

Love this place. Perfect place to get some work done as they open early, have an awesome patio and plenty of places to sit with easy access to outlets. Coffee is good. They also have a full bar if you’re looking to have a mimosa or Bloody Mary - if it’s that kind of day. Only drawback I ever notice is without any window coverings, the sunlight can get really intense depending on where you’re sitting and make it hard to continue sitting there having a conversation or working with the sun glare in your eye. Otherwise, highly recommend!

This is such a cute little spot to work remote, lots of seating indoors and out! Friendly staff.

Been here twice, it's a great location for a group meet up or first "coffee date" to connect and hang out with others. It closes earlyish which I found perfect to decide if I want to end it or take it somewhere else with my people.

This is as close to perfection as a place gets. The coffee here is always so nice and gets you through the entire day with no crash somehow. There's plenty of plugs for your computers and other electronics, so it's the ideal place to get some work done. The staff is friendly and kind. Plenty of space indoors and outdoors.

Nice little neighborhood pub recommended to us by our AirBnB host. We walked there, felt safe and the staff were very inviting.

I could've sworn on my life I had reviewed Radiator! What the heck, Matt! This is a great space in the Sunnyside neighborhood off 44th Ave. They do a little bit of everything here. Pablo's coffee, Leroy's Bagels, their own sandwich and salad menu, a full bar with happy hour deals, etc. Without question, the main selling point is the patio. Whether you're bringing the whole family with you or looking for an afternoon happy hour spot with your crew, the patio is the place to be. Tons of tables, seatings, patio umbrellas, even a gazebo. Now if you come here during the day, it essentially functions as a coworking and meeting space. They have outlets alongside the south corner of the restaurant and that's where you'll see everyone and their laptops lined up. I'm always extremely productive when I come here, so that's a plus! I will admit that I don't think that the food or drinks are anything to write home about. The sandwiches could be larger for $15 and the cocktails I've tried are solid, but not excellent. However, the staff is friendly and efficient and trained to do everything. It's a utility spot that is a must in my rotation because it can cater whatever I'm in the mood for. Oh, and last thing. Dogs, dogs, dogs. You're guaranteed to see a few good boys and girls while you're here! Check out the patio sometime on a sunny Denver day!

A friend suggested this spot for a quick catch up session. Pretty nice patio area with a small climbing structure for younger kiddos. The service was okay. The person at the register didn't bother to greet us when we walked in and not friendly. They were out of bagels by 11:30 am and when our hot food was ready, we were not notified. Hopefully it was just an "off" day and would consider coming back for another try. Heard this is a good neighborhood spot and crowded on weekends.

Grabbed a beverage with my husband on their patio yesterday during happy hour. The specials were good but the bartender was really awesome- so nice!!! The bathrooms definitely needed attention, but otherwise it was a nice time.

I came here for lunch with some friends on a Sunday, and the place was pretty busy. It's a great spot for meeting up with friends who have kids since there's an enclosed playground to keep them entertained. Unfortunately, my experience was overshadowed by an issue with my meal. There was wax paper in my Tuscan Chicken sandwich, and I didn't realize it until I had already eaten some of it. This really ruined the meal for me. The Spin Class salad was fine, but honestly, I can't remember much about it because the wax paper incident left such a negative impression.

Adorable neighborhood breakfast and lunch spot! Great If you have young kids, there is a playground and a patio that is all fenced in. Breakfast sandwiches are okay- nothing terrible but nothing stellar. Portion sizes are average Staff is very friendly as well. Lunch portions are big! They have kids menus as well.

Friends of mine recently visited on what was apparently a street sweeping day. While it is certainly the driver's responsibility to look at street signs it would take seconds for the staff to put up a sign at the door alerting clients of such a thing. $50 is a hefty fee. Again, it just shows that there is no interest, other than opening the door doors. The concept "open and they will come" does not work in the long run. You'll see.

Might be the worst service I've received in Denver. 4 people behind the counter and no one would take my order. They were out of water (?), and spinach. They didn't even greet me for 5 minutes. There was no food pick up procedure. They just kinda made food and left it, or screamed out someone's name. I ordered an item that came with chips and one that came with milk. It wasn't presented with milk or chips when they placed it on the counter, I asked and an employee grunted toward the display cooler with drinks and a shelf with chips. Apparently I was supposed to help myself? My wife ordered a cocktail made with coffee, chai, and syrup that she did not like. It was a real Denver service experience, ie terrible. 2 stars because food could technically have been worse, though it definitely wasn't great. Also my daughter liked playing in the playground

I've been to the radiator a handful of times now and I'm really starting to fall in love with this place. The energy is great, there's always cute dogs on the patio, and everybody just seems happy. The bagel sandwiches are super delish. Even just a simple plain bagel with their rosemary cream cheese. MAN! So good. They also have a full bar so if you're feeling like a Bloody Mary or mimosa they've got you covered. Also really great other craft cocktails for later in the day too.

I cannot wait to come back here! Went for the first time on a Saturday morning around 10:30 and there were only 2 people ahead of us in line, and easy to find seating on the turfed patio. I was so happy that my dog could come inside while we were ordering, rather than having to leave her outside until we were done. I ordered the salmon lox, cream cheese, onion, tomato and capers on a rosemary bagel and my boyfriend had a bacon, egg and provolone on a jalapeño cheddar bagel. We both really enjoyed our breakfast, super tasty! I also had a pumpkin cappuccino and it was delicious! Inside they also had an adorable huge glass jar of dog biscuits, and a pink neon sign that said life is rad. A few cute photo opp moments for sure! We sat outside in the sun to eat and we all enjoyed the patio.

Such a cute place! They have a cute picture area inside and plenty of outside seating. This is a great place to go get a drink and let the kiddos play (when it's warm out). The nachos were pretty good, however kind of dry. The bartender was nice and patient and make some delicious drinks. I look forward to going back and trying some of their seasonal specialty drinks!

I went here this morning for the first time. Ordered an iced green tea and avocado toast. Some of the avocado was brown, it was little dices of tomato and tiny chunks of hard boiled egg on what looked like sourdough slices they bought at the grocery store. Completely underwhelming. But I didn't come here to review the food. As my friend and I sat outside (lovely patio are with a playground for kids) we watched as a car parked in front of the shop got a parking ticket and realized it was street sweeping day. My car, which was parked on the same side about a half block down received one as well $50!!!!!! Now I know the establishment has nothing to do with or any control over the city of Denver and parking violations. And I said just that to the manager who I spoke to. My suggestion was that when people came up to order, as a courtesy, they could simply mention it was street sweeping day and ask if they had parked on the street. The manager got defensive and pointed to a sign and said we have it posted here and there are signs in the neighborhood. The street sign out front was blocked by a tree and the sign in the shop was a typed black and white (wordy) 8.5x11 piece of paper taped to the side of a refrigerator that was not where anyone would look when they came in to order at the counter. The way he responded, by pretty much blaming me for not noticing, instead of At the very least apologizing and admitting my suggestion would help, was rude and I will not be returning. I gave it one star for their outdoor area and one star for the ambiance of the interior.

I have only had one food item here, the avocado toast and it was just very average. The environment is a big bonus, lots of seating and outdoor space. The day street sweeping tickets were happening directly out front the coffee shop didn't have any obvious signage which lead to a friend getting a $50 ticket. They obviously don't have to do anything to prevent tickets but as a courtesy they really should mention it as people order.

Okay, let's get started. I've grown up around Sunnyside and have wanted to try this for a while now, but ultimately, I was disappointed with the quality of the coffee and food I received for the price when I went. I got a medium chai bacon, egg, and cheese for $17, which is outrageous. I don't know if it's because im poor, but that was the most excruciating purchase I've ever made but also the I pad had the audacity to ask me for a starting tip of 20%.

This is a great place for parents who want to get out but have their your young kids in tow. The outdoor space is so nice with umbrellas at the tables and a couple of play structures for kids (unshaded). Indoor is also very cute and stylish. The nachos looked great but without queso they were dry. The portion size is huge which I can appreciate but would not order again due to dryness. They put a generous amount of bbq sauce but overal I found it overpowering and not the creamy element that could have elavated the dish. My French 75 was delicious and my toddler fully enjoyed his chocolate milk. The service was great, ordered at the counter and then picked up our drinks at the bar. We were given a food buzzer and picked up food at counter once it buzzed.

The radiator is one of my favorite coffee shops in the sunnyside area! They have a lot of indoor seating as well as outdoor seating. It is a great place to work, study or just a casual meet up. I have recommended this place to a couple friends who needed to study and they loved it. It's a great place to walk to if you live in the area and it also has easy street parking. They have an variety of breakfast food you can choose from such as bagels, sandwiches, muffins, and pastries. Another cool thing about radiator is that they turn into a bar later in the afternoon and serve beer and cocktails.

I've been here a few times with a friend and boy oh boy you'd better come early enough or else it will be jammed packed with families, students, day drinkers, the whole town! The place is pretty spacious and lots of seats to choose from including a bunch of outdoor ones tho! The coffee itself is pretty good. My favorite was actually their Valentine's Day special which was a rose latte! I also really enjoy their breakfast items. The encounter of cream cheese they put on bagels puts a lot of other bagel shops to shame. More cream cheese than the actual bagel! Also love their breakfast burrito. Overall a great place to socialize and get work done.

The Food was good, the customer service was great and the staff were friendly, the ambiance was nice and calming though something the music was loud. The price was relatively fair, overall it's an okay spot to chill.

Rarely do I make the trek to Sunnyside for a cup of coffee, but when a potential employer wants to meet you in the flesh to talk all things business and want to get to know you - you GO. That was the case just last week when meeting up with Ms. Chelsea C. The Radiator was her spot of choice - and a good one at that because it was the perfect spot! Here's why: ++The outdoor patio is MASSIVE, allows for a variety type of seating and has plenty of shade, which is the perfect spot to get a little work done, converse with friends or simply take in the quaint neighborhood that surrounds the area! ++The cutesy interior is like something out of a movie - the quintessential local hangout. The walls are painted a deep green with books in every nook and cranny, vintage mirrors hang behind the wooden bar and an insane amount of natural light flows in from the large windows. All I can say is this place is a VIBE and creates a very trendy, yet quaint and homey feel - perfect for any occasion! ++ The sweetest staff to date! Having not peeked at the menu beforehand, I spent ample time looking at the menu board. Staff offered their favorites, provided details descriptions of their concoctions and whip up whatever you want with a smile. ++ A delicious food and beverage menu! Being that we met at 11AM I opted for a crisp black unsweetened tea, which completely hit the spot on a hot summer day. Cold brews, coffee of the day, lattes and all the coffee you could want are offered, so come thirsty! Best part - the BAR! Yes, serving up local wines, drafts and cocktails! YUM. ++Leroy's bagels are offered here - and sell out FAST. I can't wait to see what the type is about, because I've only heard good things about them! However, when said bagels are sold out there are other options for eats. The seriously delicious menu offers a wide variety of breakfast sandwiches, fruit cups and the like for the perfect amount of sustenance. During my visit, I opted for the veggie sandwich which featured sourdough bread, cream cheese, tomato, onion, cucumber and sprouts which was unbelievably fresh and the perfect portion! My guest got a simple egg and cheese breakfast sandwich, which she seemed to enjoy. ++Pricing is insanely reasonable for this part of town, with each sandwich under $6 and all drinks around the same price! What a steal! The only downside I can even remotely attribute to this spot is the lack of parking. Being that the Radiator is a neighborhood spot, it's primarily street parking which fills up fast. However, the surrounding streets provide an option with a small walk. When in this quaint neighborhood again, I'd easily stop in again!

Cute little place tucked away in Sunnyside. It's a coffee shop with breakfast and lunch that turns into a bar with appetizers. The coffee was pretty good, but the avo toast was just average. Not too much flavor. I did have a friend say they have a good breakfast burrito, which I did not try. The place is cozy, though, and the staff seemed to have some regulars. I'd probably come back in the evening to try the bar vibe!

I want to love this place because it is a GREAT addition to Sunnyside, but a little room for improvement with the consistency of quality in their food. I went here on Saturday and had a great veggie sandwich and returned the next day and ordered the caprese melt. They sent me the sandwich with no tomato on it (a key part of a caprese salad) and when I sent it back to have the tomato added they literally added one slice of tomato. What is this! Cute place, will go back but just recommending they put a little more effort into delivering consistent quality. This sandwich was not worth $12

This is a great brunch spot for moms to meet up with a friend or just go with your kid. My friend and I brought our 4 year olds and they had a great time running around and playing with the playhouse. The food was so good, it was mostly bagels and sandwiches, they have a large selection of coffee as well and other drinks. There's an area for cornhole as well. It started to drizzle while we were there, but thankfully a lot of the seating had umbrellas over it. Overall, this place has good vibes and it's a place where mom's don't have to sacrifice their brunch dates.

Woke up starving and knew we needed a bagel and coffee stat. We saw that the Radiator was pretty close to my place, had great reviews, and their menu was exactly what we were looking for. After skimming the menu, we landed on the B.L.A.T (Bacon Lettuce, Avocado, Tomato) on an everything bagel. We also got the egg, meat (chose sausage), and cheese on an everything bagel. We also got drip coffee. The bagels were unreal - felt like I was back in NY, honestly some of the best bagels I've had in Denver. The coffee was strong (in a good way) and so dang good. We only ordered to go, but the outside area looked so fun. The tables were spaced out pretty far, and there was another patio enclosed in a covered event tent. Seemed like a good alternative to those still wanting to go out during COVID. We went for the to go option, so can't completely speak to it, but looked pretty safe. Definitely coming back for more breakfast food and hoping to hang out on the patio when things clear up around here. Pumped!

Omg, I absolutely love this space!! The style is rustic, but open, and the amount of space (both inside and outside) is incredible for a cafe. I've tried both the coffee drinks and cocktails here, and can confidently say you can't really miss with either. I loved my "chai"der (a spicy chai apple cider - absolute must!) but my favorite thing here has to be the margarita - so refreshing, and mine was sparkly (courtesy of the incredible bar staff at The Radiator)! Whether you're looking for a place to sit down and get some work done or to bring a group of friends for a drink, The Radiator is perfect!

This experience was all over the place. Came here with a fairly large group but we all ordered separately at the counter. Inconsistency was the theme of the experience. One of our friends ordered a breakfast sandwich no problem, then another tried to order the exact same sandwich with a different server at the counter and was told they weren't serving breakfast sandwiches anymore and to order from the lunch menu, then another friend was able to order a breakfast sandwich... So are you done serving breakfast sandwiches or not? Another of our friends ordered a lunch sandwich, but after waiting 15 min at the table, an employee came over to tell him they didn't have the ingredients for it. No problem, he ordered a different item. Employee walks away and then comes back saying they can't make that one either. 4th try, seems to be fine, but then it takes 20 min and they haven't brought out a simple sandwich (they weren't busy), and it turns out they had forgotten about his order lol. They weren't particularly apologetic and they didn't offer anything for the inconvenience. Everyone else's food came out without any issues, but for it to take 4 tries and to fail despite that is pretty disappointing. If you only read reviews for the food, you should know the sandwiches are pretty good but nothing special. That's from 12 people getting a variety of different sandwiches (both breakfast and lunch sandwiches) that day.

Nice vibe here but my Americano wasn't very good. I don't expect perfection yet I do expect a coffee shop to get a $5 coffee drink right. Isn't that what we're paying for? They play music with a loud bass beat which unfortunately drives me nuts. So 4 stars as this is probably worth a try for most, just not a fit for me.

First word that comes to mind... yummm! My husband and I tried to go here one Saturday morning a month or so ago and they had sold out of all their bagels. Though we were bummed in the moment it did tell us they must be good, and they are! I tried the bacon, egg, and cheese on an everything bagel and my husband got the lox on everything. Both were just what we needed to fuel up for another day of unpacking in our new house! Add on a chai tea latte (not my fav but definitely no where near my least fav I've had) and a regular latte, and we'll be set for hours! They do have a great side yard that they've now added a tent for extra warmth during outside eating. The inside is beautiful with dark walls and moody lightly (it turns into a bar later in the day). So once it's safe to enjoy bars/indoor experiences again, we'll for sure be back since it's only a few blocks away from our new house!

Great spot for your studying-socializing-grab a drink needs! They have tons of seating! They have small tables and long high tables indoors, a counter at the bar, and rhey have a covered and uncovered patio. The patio is huge! Tons of places to sit. I love that it's half cafe,half bar! Grab a coffee while you work, and a drink as you end your work day and roll into happy hour! You can also grab a burrito or sandwich if youre hungry while you're here. Personally, I love their matcha latte. It's unsweetened but when I ask them to sweeten it with honey, they add in the perfect amount!! On the weekends, you can order pizza on their outdoor patio. Really, I love this spot and the variety behind it.

The Radiator cafe came in clutch for their breakfast bagel sandwiches in the morning. Bagels are from local bagel bakery, Leroy's. I ordered the Egg & Cheese in a Rosemary bagel for $4.95. Nice chewiness to the bagel which was toasted some and ingredients were warm and gooey. May a little up there for a simple bagel sandwich though. I also had a cappuccino (espresso from Pablo's Coffee) which was not the best; it was thin, scalding, and tasted burnt. Large space which functions as a hang out spot and bar towards the later parts of the day. It is situated in a neighborhood so parking is plentiful.

I ordered a toasted everything bagel, and about 5 minutes later they gave me a plain bagel. I told the guy I asked for an everything bagel. They said ok and so I sat back down. About five minutes later the guy called my name and said he's giving my money back and started digging in the cash register aggressively. I said why what's up? He said we're out of everything bagels. I said oh can I order something different? He a just sighed really loud and stared at me. I said you should have told me you were out of everything bagels! He said he did tell me! I was exasperated I just walked out, what a waste of time! what really sucks is I live next door. First bad experience in Denver.

One of the best neighborhood hangout spots. They have great indoor and outdoor atmospheres all year round. Lots of shady spots during the hot summer days thanks to their new set-up, but also good sun in the cooler winter months. Food and drinks are great at any time of the day, as are the people (customers and staff). It can be a great place to get work done, often isn't too noisy especially in the morning time, but might not suggest taking work calls there. Make sure to check it out & to tip the folks who make this such a wonderful place to be!!

We were excited to see Leroy's Bagels open a "concept" in Sunnyside, bonus they even kept the coffee shop vibe intact. Coffee is decent, bagel sandwiches are good just like Leroy's. Here's my issue and the reason this isn't one of our "go to" spots: consistency. One day, they have plenty of bagels, the next, small little tiny sized ones, the next, they're simply out of stock. On top of that, the training and processes of the entire operation aren't streamlined. Employees often seemed confused. Wait times for food are often long. I feel stressed when I leave. Are you a coffee shop, bagel place, or a bar?

I had a jalapeno bagel with chive cream cheese and it was BOMB. They "over-toasted" the bagel so it was a little burnt and crunchy which was actually great. The chive cream cheese was delicious and there was PLENTY of it. I also ordered an iced Matcha Latte and it was good. Maybe a little overpriced, but the experience as a whole was nice and worth it. Would love to try this place out at night and check out that bar area! Great outdoor space as well and a close walk to a lot of other options and residences nearby!

This cafe took the place of the Common Grounds that used to be here, but this place has a better vibe in my opinion :) Still that large room/warehouse feel, but the Radiator somehow made it cozier. They added some couches & other seating; still great for getting work done, but also good for cozier vibes & friendly conversation. Their food is great too. I ordered a bagel sandwich, but the guy behind the counter forgot to put my requested cream cheese on it too. He actually recognized the mistake before I got my food, but simply gave me that sandwich, and let me know he was already making another one for me on the house & I could have both! What service! The coffee was great too. This was an awesome place to get some coffee, grub, and get some work done on a weekday morning.

We only experienced the coffee side of The Radiator, I will say the bar had a great ambiance and seating options were plentiful. Came on a Saturday around 11:30a which the place was understandably busy. They were not doing any breakfast sandwiches and only had 1 rosemary bagel left once we got to the counter so changed it up and ordered 1 Veggie and 1 chorizo burrito and 2 cold brews. We were warned the burritos take 10 minutes to heat up and the woman behind the counter put the burritos directly into the microwave/oven in the standard packaging. She also missed adding the second cold brew despite the barista asking her to make sure she got it added to our bill and when we told her she said it was fine so we tipped to cover it. When our $5 each cold brews came out one had someone else's name on it, so who knows who missed their coffee, but it was a solid but expensive cold brew, probably the only positive part of our experience. The $7 burritos came out at the 10 minute mark where they were handed to us in the standard packaging and a couple napkins. No plate, salsas, or extras like we've seen with Bonfire Burritos at other coffee shops in Denver. A couple bits into the soggy burrito revealed they were still cold in the middle. When my boyfriend went in to let them know they apologized and were surprised to learn they were suppose to remove them from the packaging and wrap in tin foil per the instructions right on the back. There was no offering to warm it up or make it right. Just the flustered apology. We were able to grab some tin foil and decided just to go home and air fry them. Just an overall poor food and service experience for $24 of premade food and coffee. Based on recent reviews this seems to be the norm so we likely won't be returning for coffee or breakfast.

Loved the old coffee shop (Common Grounds) because it was such a neighborhood vibe (ie didn't completely transform to the new neighborhood residents). This place is still pretty good with an amazing patio. Note: the most annoying this is very trendy new residents talking about much this place "fits their aesthetic". If you can get past that, then you'll love the tea and coffee.

Just paid $15 for two chi teas... 20% was a "living wage" fee. And they expected a tip on top of that. You got to be kidding. Why do t you pay your workers a living wage instead of adding onto your already overpriced products. Will not be going here again.

We were so excited to see that after Common Grounds decided to close its doors a new coffee shop would be going in. We were even more excited to see that the new ownership is: (1) connected to Leroys Bagels and (2) will be expanding beyond coffee to include adult beverages. We saw an announcement on Facebook that this place was going to be opening today, so we headed over for a morning pick-me-up and breakfast. The first impression: the new ownership has done a stellar job redecorating and redesigning the place. The space is bright, open, modern, and inviting. The garage door style windows were beautiful and will make this an awesome indoor / outdoor space (and great for COVID times, too). The team was still working out some kinks on their first day, but the staff was beyond friendly and clearly excited to be open. I opted for an Americano and my wife got the hot chocolate. The Americano was outstanding -- it was balanced and appropriately potent, but not overwhelmingly so. The hot chocolate was good, too. We both got bagels with cream cheese to eat. They had a handful of options: Everything, Rosemary, Sesame, and Jalapeño Cheddar. We both opted for the Jalapeño Cheddar, which was perfectly crisp on the outside and softer on the inside -- one of the best bagels I've had in a while. We are so excited to have this new spot in the neighborhood and will definitely be back (probably too often).

Great vibes, good food, and a good assortment of drink options! Would be a great place to "work from home" from with plenty of delicious sandwiches and snacks, a coffee bar, and an actual bar. Quiet enough, ample outlets and seating, but cute decor and lots of natural light too!

Lovely outdoor space and a great place to hang out and work, indoors or out. Food is pretty good but can't say I'd recommend everything I've had...like the pesto turkey sandwich wasn't a wow item - didn't love the bread in particular. Great cocktails and coffee for any time of day! Nice, cool staff.

Took 30 minutes to get a bagel and toast. The bagel was awesome though but none of the people smiled, such a simple thing

Very laid back, nice atmosphere. Very comfortable. Bagels are awesome and coffee is very good! Service was excellent. I think I'm going to visit everyday I'm in Denver!
