This is a great place to eat. I was curious about for their fried oyster mushrooms and they were other worldly delicious. We shares with our tablemates and everyone enjoyed them. We had a small bowl of their vegan posole which was very flavorful and satisfying and filing. We shared their falafel wrap which was packed with great fillings and three or four falafel balls. Also very satisfying. My complaint may be aged based as I'm older, and also I also used to work in the food industry. This is a counter service restaurant. You get everything yourself, they bring out the food. Explain to me why at the end of purchase, there is an automatic 18% tip? You can change it, they suggest 20% or 25% (FOR NO SERVICE) and right below a button to customize or offer no tip. I am not going to be a shmuck and not tip at all, but starting at 18%? I gave 10%. I've watched the industry deal with wage issues. I know the margins are thin for restaurants. Maybe it is hitting me more since we just came back from Spain, where there is a different price for sit down verses bar and no tipping (and a whole different culture of how we care for people). But assuming 18% or more tip for counter service is audacious. Will I recommend this place? Yes. This is a great addition to vegan/vegetarian and gluten free food scene in Denver. They also offer chicken and fish and pork for the meat eaters. It's cool and hip and welcoming. The food is tasty. Try it.

Super cozy place, especially at night. For cocktails, this is as good as a speakeasy when you want the bartenders to make interesting drinks. I always want to be surprised and always am with the amazing cocktail creations! As for food, I recommend the French Dip but get the gluten free bread. The roll is better than the regular one. Hope you have as much fun as I do here!

I went there about a year ago. Very small kitchen and do not recommend for people with celiac. I was sick all day after eating the questionable gluten free waffles.

I had some time to spare after an appointment and wandered to Tennyson Street, near where I used to live a few years ago. I was looking for a breakfast spot to relax before heading back to south Denver and located Cozy Cottage. Wow! The service was excellent, the decor is very cozy as the name implies, and the food was sublime! I appreciated that they have gluten-free options, which is difficult, especially when you want Eggs Benedict. The chef is fantastic and the creation with the addition of brie cheese into the hollandaise sauce was something else! I will definitely come back! Give this place a try you will be delighted.

Food was good. Service was consciously slow. Server declined to take our order when we said we were ready to order, citing not wanting to overwhelm the kitchen. Upon getting out food we wanted to confirm it was gluten free, the server took several minutes to confirm to safety of the food. We had to rely on another customer to get the server's attention. Food was good but not worth the service.Overall, felt like our business wasn't valued.
