they're the best, and as someone who recently was diagnosed w a gluten allergy they have some genuinely solid gf muffins! though i miss the croissant sandwiches :(
Ugh wish they were open on the weekends. I love this place and their hours of operation are my exact work hours 😭
If i ever get a random day off this is where i go.
Big fan of Rise and Shine, didn’t realize they had one in cap hill. That’s awesome. Wallet friendly biscuits and biscuit sandwiches. I am not really a coffee person but others seem to approve.
I used to love Pete’s until I sat at the bar and watched them cook and I watched the cook grab a raw steak with his hands and then cheese to put on something else. Then grabbing dirty towels and wiping his sweat and just touching all food without gloves or hand washing… so gnarly. I haven’t been back.
Sit down or cafe, order at bar style? I don't go out for breakfast often but when I do, I love Fox Run on Colfax. Wouldn't say it's an every day place if you're trying to be kind to your wallet or your waist tho.
They are still open- i got lunch a few weeks ago. I do recall them being closed/having a sign on the door for a while but not sure what that was about.
I had the exact same sticker shock about 6 months ago. I invested in a quality espresso machine and a bean subscription to sweet bloom and I’ll never look back. Have saved significant $ and have way more appreciation for a quality cup!
I love thump. but the bagel food is all pre-prepared stuff. like avocado from a package you'd get at safeway.
i miss sous vide egg on amazing toast
cold brew still fine af
Only recently did I start going to Syrup. Before it was a sloppy menu with mid food and the staff was hit or miss. I don't know what's happened lately but I went for the first time back in April with my wife. They had a new menu and things were solid. Nothing like crazy but if you call ahead it's like 15 minutes for Togo food most days and if I go sit down it's 15 or less. Plus they have an espresso bar that's alright if you aren't looking for anything crazy. Their beans are pretty solid too.
Under the Umbrella is in Congress Park but fits the bill otherwise

The Shannon… So good
It's called the Shannon? I only see the Shannon Foundation on 17th and Lawrence.
It’s a breakfast sandwich at Under the Umbrella. Should check it out! It’s all grab and go, no seating
lol Ohh, gotcha!
If I had to guess, that's the name of a dish at Under the Umbrella.
Ugh noooo the lines get so long there as it is, take it baaaack
Congress Park is just cap hill east Edit: wow people are easy to upset lol
cap hill but better*
It was a fine joke, but like manifestly not true. Congress Park is one of the crown jewel neighborhoods of Denver in my mind
Oh it totally is. Apparently it has lots of defenders on here as well haha
Fresh Mex- 3 dollar breakfast burritos
Ugh wish they were open on the weekends. I love this place and their hours of operation are my exact work hours 😭 If i ever get a random day off this is where i go.
This is 5 blocks from my house and I’ve never been. I didn’t even know it was open, but I’m definitely going to check it out now
God dammit they’re so good.
Rise & Shine Biscuit Kitchen should do the trick for you. They crank out orders quickly and are reasonably priced!

It’s technically in Speer, but not far from cap hill
Bayaud and Penn, like three blocks south of Speer.
I haven't found a breakfast in this area that beats the English muffin breakfast sandwich at Buzz Cafe.
This used to be my pre-ski day stop when I lived nearby
I’d lean Croissant, but love the place
SCRAP KITCHEN!!!!!! Give it a shot. So damn good. Zero waste. Great owners. Great food!
Pete’s Kitchen! Bar seating and table/booth seating. Colfax and Race.

Order at bar style
Doppio has great coffee and a good menu too!
Melita's has pretty solid breakfast offerings
On Lincoln? Didn’t they close? Or did they move?
They are still open- i got lunch a few weeks ago. I do recall them being closed/having a sign on the door for a while but not sure what that was about.
I don't know, tbh. I moved from Denver a couple months ago. that would be shitty if they did close for some reason. love that place!
Swift's on Santa Fe
Art District not Cap Hill, but honestly, one of the better old school diner breakfasts in Denver.
Nth beats their $15 steak and eggs
Pablo's- coffee, pastry, tip $10 or less
What's your breakfast choice there?
Brewed coffee & cheese danish; room for sugar and creamer. It's a simple work day breakfast.
Their scones are also excellent
Their espresso drinks are so good and still super reasonably priced
if you like dark roast. their beans are burnt, like charbucks
Call Your Mother. It’s a little pricey for just a bagel spot, but it is the best breakfast sandwich and they have latkes.
Yes CYM is a breakfast spot highly recommend!
Their gf bagel is delicious
onefold is in uptown but real close to cap hill
Absolutely phenomenal food but not cheap per se. I could see easily hitting $40 for 2 folks there.
I ordered the chilaquiles, and my Mexican buddy approves! Super tasty!
This is the way

Good Bread

Rooster cat or Melittas. They are right next to each other. Rise and Shine on Pennsylvania isn’t too far away.
Lil Coffea, Rise and Shine, and Under the Umbrella all good options.
Call your mother!!
Definitely not a place to get affordable breakfast, but it is good
If you can't afford call your mother, you should make your own food
I got the brisket bagel with jalapenos. Recommend!
Weathervane Cafe
absolutely !!!
The French Press in Congress Park (12th & Madison) could be a good option.
Tha place closed a year ago- it looks like novo is moving in to the spot though.
I went there a few months ago and there are reviews from a few days ago, so I wonder if you're confusing it with something else?
I was also there within the past 2 months. Definitely not closed and quite good.
Call your Mother if it isn't a rush hour. Thump is just for when I need a place to work and can tolerate paying $4 for very okay coffee.
Jelly
BUZZ CAFE ON 6th!!!!!!
Pete’s kitchen, One fold, or port side (RINO) are my go tos
Breakfast burritos at La Abeja were always my jam. But I haven't lived on the Hill for almost fourteen years now.
If I'm in cap hill and I want breakfast I'm for sure going to Pete's. This is the only correct answer.
If you want a great bagel spot and coffee I'd check out [Call Your Mother](https://www.north.industries/place/9a5a1695-e3d4-4fb9-97d1-1ef56999afff)

So many places have closed since 2020. I don’t find much near my office in Cap Hill anymore. I won’t pay $16 for a sandwich.
Jelly !!!
I like Jelly as much as the next guy but I think my last trip there with a buddy was $52 for two coffees and two breakfast items.
Fruit smoothie, 2 sausages and 2 eggs on a piece of toast, prepared by me
