Highlighted Business on East Colfax:

The Shoppe is a one-of-a-kind, super fresh environment like no other in Denver. While getting the creative juices boiling, you can thumb through one of their art & design books, drink coffee, watch old-school cartoons + artsy flix, listen to live music, play board games... all while munching down on a nice cold bowl of cereal or tasty cupcake. Their collection of cupcake-themed art lining the walls is worth a visit in it's own right. Open for brunch, lunch, and late night munch (often til 2am!) (Taste this local flavor.)
