http://tupalo.com/denver.rss Tupalo en-us http://tupalo.com/spot/20961-red-trolley-denver-co-usa c Good grief! The quest for artisan ice cream continues and my mind has been thoroughly blown by this quaint little spot fortuitously located right across from Patzcuaro, my favorite Mexican restaurant. Red Trolley has developed quite creative flavors (banana bread, for instance), but so far as I can heartily vouch for pistachio and passionfruit. The best thing (besides the sometimes slow but always friendly and chatty service) is that the very tasty waffle cone is the default cone. In my numerous visits since its recent opening, I have never once consumed a stale-tasting cone nor have I paid extra. The only choice to make: chocolate or vanilla.

While its friendly East Colfax competitor, The Shoppe, attracts a more urban crowd, Happy Cakes is honed for the neighborhood's strange mix of the bobo-yuppie and young families. My taste buds don't give a care, as they prefer Happy Cakes' rotating flavors to most of those at the other shops (recommended: red velvet, Jack and Coke, lemon drop). Basic happiness can be yours at $2.50 per serving. cafe cupcakes west_highland 39.762121 -105.037438 Mon, 18 Aug 2008 04:10:11 +0200 http://tupalo.com/spot/11270-happy-cakes-denver-co-usa http://tupalo.com/spot/2812-the-shoppe-denver-co-usa c It's a cupcake/cereal bar; need I say more? One of the friendlier, laidback spaces on East Colfax, brought to you by one-half of the neighboring Fabric Lab. Vegan cupcake lovers need not fret; The Shoppe assures that they will be expanding their three-flavor offering in the near future. You CAN probably purchase your own cereal and enjoy it in a much cheaper fashion, but this is the place to chill out with like-minded folks while browsing their selection of design goods or cheering for your favorite Project Runway contestant. cafe cereal cupcakes fun coffee, cereal, Books, design, pastries, tea cupcakes, 39.740177 -104.951092 Mon, 18 Aug 2008 03:59:05 +0200 http://tupalo.com/spot/2812-the-shoppe-denver-co-usa http://tupalo.com/spot/872-wholly-tomato-denver-co-usa c DEFUNCT restaurant casual friendly golden_triangle good_rootbeer sandwiches lunch 39.731300354 -104.986000061 Mon, 11 Aug 2008 03:48:41 +0200 http://tupalo.com/spot/872-wholly-tomato-denver-co-usa http://tupalo.com/spot/1335-chef-zorbas-denver-co-usa c Veg(etari)ans beware! This ain't no Watercourse! If you can get by on appetizers, Zorba's offers superb hummus and falafel dishes. I go for the Kolokithia (zucchini slices with tzatziki) and if I'm feeling adventurous, I get the Macaronada as well (Greek-style macaroni), but usually I just stick to the appetizers. Zorba's serves Mexican as well; if that's what you're hankering after, leave it for another joiint. This is Colorado, after all. restaurant restaurant congress_park greek mexican 39.7351570129 -104.9559860229 Thu, 07 Aug 2008 17:21:05 +0200 http://tupalo.com/spot/1335-chef-zorbas-denver-co-usa http://tupalo.com/spot/874-cafe-mondo-denver-co-usa c SADLY DEFUNCT restaurant light_meals european coffee bistro neighborhood lunch highland 39.7633018494 -105.0110015869 Thu, 07 Aug 2008 17:14:48 +0200 http://tupalo.com/spot/874-cafe-mondo-denver-co-usa http://tupalo.com/spot/906-cafe-europa-denver-co-usa c I agree with the Cowboy--Cafe Europa IS a nice spot, with an unassuming exterior but tasteful interior and offering very comfortable seating of various shapes and sizes. Since I've only partaken in their coffee drinks, I can only vouch for those, my favorite being the "Dark Toffee" which is a mocha with toffee syrup and dark chocolate powder by Ghirardelli. The "Florentine," which is half coffee, half hot chocolate isn't too bad, either. Soy milk can be yours for a little extra. wifi cafe neighborhood relaxing wash_park_west tea 39.7151985168 -104.9810028076 Thu, 07 Aug 2008 17:13:21 +0200 http://tupalo.com/spot/906-cafe-europa-denver-co-usa http://tupalo.com/spot/903-boss-unlimited-denver-co-usa c My favorite place for vintage duds in the entire city. Since many of the pieces do run on the smaller side, I'm mainly just there for inspiration, and one can be "inspired" for hours! However, I sometimes do find that one-of-a-kind item that fits me well and I must therefore snap up before some Joanna Newsom or Parker Posey fan does. Great sunglasses and other miscellaneous accessories as well. friendly vintage baker used shopping preloved 39.7163009644 -104.9879989624 Thu, 07 Aug 2008 16:46:39 +0200 http://tupalo.com/spot/903-boss-unlimited-denver-co-usa http://tupalo.com/spot/909-jack-n-grill-denver-co-usa c My memory of this place is quite hazy as I went there with my family many moons ago, as a recommendation from a co-worker. My stepdad was really into the posole, but I can't remember much else.

My favorite part is not the actual sandwich, but the name, paying tribute to the area, with monikers like the Colfax Club, the Marion, the Ogden.
