Best Breakfast and Brunch Places in Highlands Ranch

"The Lowdown: This may be the ultimate date spot due to its euphoric atmosphere of tables surrounded by tree bark and draped by curtains and lanterns — an ‘urban aspen grove.’ Suitable for a date of two or a double date — due to its amply spaced booths. It feels like an exclusive club and bar but it has award-winning food to match. For starters, the delicacy that is roasted bone marrow ($14) or the grilled squid ($14) with charred broccolini are good choices."

"Sputnik is the place to go in Denver when you want a delicious breakfast or brunch without the meat. The breakfast burrito topped with stewed black beans and vegan cheese is delicious and filling, and the quesadilla with macaroni and “cheese” and a side is tasty, too. You’ll also love the veggie fajita with purple kale topped with avocado, and the Israeli falafel sandwich makes for a satisfying meal as well."

"The location operates as a bar and as a restaurant that doesn’t have a lot of traditional bar food. Instead, this eclectic joint offers more vegetarian and vegan alternatives. You can feast on rice bowls or Israeli falafel while enjoying the perks of a full espresso bar and free Wi-Fi."

The starter section on their menu is even called “Snacky Things,” and while they do have a panini menu, we are here for the snacky things, the bruschettas, and the boards!. Postino makes for a great spot to go with a group of friends for a slightly more upscale, shared-plates dining experience, whether it’s your first stop of the night to get some light bites before continuing onto another restaurant, or going all out and ordering something from each section of the menu."

"With their Lohi location now a neighborhood fixture, the Arizona-based restaurateurs behind this string of sociable wine bars decided to push their luck with an outpost in bustling Baker. Shrewd move: It’s a hit. Flamboyant, rainbow-hued modern decor sets the energetic mood."

"Come to this Golden park at 6030 feet elevation and have it all, including some of the tallest slides in town!.

It’s helmed by sisters Aminata and Rougui Dia — the latter a former chef at a Michelin-starred spot in Paris — who bring their French and Senegalese cooking backgrounds to this bakery and bistro. Brunch is popular with locals; find steak and eggs tartine and croque-madames."

"The bakery counter inside this quaint French bistro in the Denver Tech Center offers baguettes, brioches, tarts, and croissants alongside more distinctive sweets such as the baba fondant au chocolat, a bundt cake soaked in chocolate sauce and rum, and topped with French vanilla whipped cream and poached pear. Sandwiches served on the fresh breads can also be ordered to-go."

Le French serves classic daytime fare — think ham and cheese crepes, salads, and brioche bread with tuna — along with a more upscale dinner menu full of French fusion dishes."
