For this week's theme, here is a list of my favorite, locals-only restaurants and treat shops in Denver County! I highly encourage you to try them all!
The Market (pictured first): This cafe is located right on Larimer Street in downtown. My favorite bite is the Spring Fling cake full of fresh berries and fruit
Dbar (pictured second): this restaurant is right on 17th, and is my friends and I's ultimate dinner spot. Make sure you get an Arnold Palmer and a Cake and Shake to complete the experience!
The Shoppe (pictured third): right by East High School, this cupcake and cereal shop is very cute. They even make a cupcake with a prize baked inside!
Ace (pictured fourth): owned by the same people as Steuben's (number 7), this restaurant has amazing Asian food and even has a giant room full of ping pong tables to play on.
Little Man Ice Cream (pictured fifth): although this outdoor spot is only open in the summer, try it while you can. Their salted oreo ice cream is to die for!
Linger (also pictured fifth): this restaurant is located in the revamped Olinger Mortuaries building, however don't let that turn you away; their international, street food comes tapas-style so it can shared with the whole family.
Steuben's: located right down the street from Ace, this restaurant features comfort food, and is set in an old garage!
Stella's Coffee Haus: this quaint coffee shop can be found on Pearl Street and is a great place to catch up for friends or even study for finals. Try their drink the "Wandering Elephant" if you get the chance.
Cake Crumbs: Lastly, this Park Hill bakery has everything from breakfast to lunch, and they also bake beautiful and delicious cupcakes and cakes. Or for the non-Denver natives, follow their cupcake truck for a treat on the go!
