Want to do something a bit more simple, or maybe you are pressed for time? Here are some options for you if you need to grab a bite with a little less drama.
Cafe Options is a fast casual lunch spot that not only has good eats but also supports a good cause. Work Options for Women (WOW) exists to help women end the cycle of poverty by providing them with the work and life skills to become self-sufficient. 100% of the proceeds from your lunch go to WOW and the food is good. Diners will enjoy salads, hand-crafted sandwiches on artisan bread and soups made from scratch. Everything is made on site, house-roasted meats and fresh baked pastries, even the pickles and mustard. For breakfast choose from breakfast burritos (meat or Veggie), freshly baked Quiche of the day or bagel Sandwiches. For lunch have a sandwich: Like the Goodfella, with Italian sausage, spinach, roasted pepper schmear, and Parmesan on ciabatta, or a Grilled Veggie Bomb with grilled zucchini, carrots, tomato, cucumber, avocado, sprouts, hummus, and roasted red peppers on baguette. Have some soup of the day (various combinations are available depending on your appetite), or a Cobb or Tabbouleh Salad. Of course there is espresso bar and Free Wi-Fi if you need it. Located on the 16th St mall at Curtis (1650 Curtis St) so it is a quick walk up from the Denver Performing Arts Center. Hours are 11:00 a.m.- 3:00 p.m., Mon-Fri, so its ideal for a late lunch or early dinner. http://cafeoptions.com/index.html
At Mad Greens you can build you own salad or wrap and they have an "Interactive Allergy Menu" where you can check what your allergies are and it will find menu ideas for you, pretty cool! Paninis and soups and
desserts along with the build your own options. There are many, even gluten free options (clearly marked on the menu) available for proteins and dressings. Vegetarians can get tofu as a protein and many other
vegetarian options as well. There are two nearby locations: 16th St Mall (Hours M-F 10-8:30 Sat-Sun 10-6) at Stout St or the Denver Art Museum location (Hours M-F 10-6 Sat-Sun 10-6) at 1200 Acoma St: 1 Block West of Broadway between 12th and 13th Ave its walking distance from the Free Mall Ride Civic center Station. http://www.madgreens.com/menu/salad.php
Crepes N Crepes is exactly what it sounds like, a creperie. They have many savory and sweet options. Dessert crepes with Nutella, banana, strawberries and cream cheese sauce. No matter what time of day I have a Petit Déjeuner-Crepe with eggs, Breakfast meat (Bacon) and Cheddar. Have a plain crepe or one with just butter, make it as simple or as decadent as you like. There is French onion soup, plus a soup of the day and a few salads to choose from. Also get your caffeine fix with espresso and coffee. Want to have a late lunch or early dinner no problem, there is happy hour Tuesday-Friday, 3:00-6:00 p.m. with specials on the crepes, wine or beer. There is also a patio for prime people watching and to enjoy the sunny weather. They are closed Monday but open 9:00 a.m.-10:00 p.m (Tuesday-Friday), 8:30 a.m.-10:00 p.m. (Saturday) and 8:30 a.m.-3:00 p.m. (Sunday). Located 1512 Larimer St in Writer square, take the Free Mall Ride to Larimer St and walk toward 14th St (Where the Arts Complex is) and look for their blue canape. http://crepesncrepes.com/
