The staff recommended the salmon bagel. So glad I gave it a try. Everything bagel, cream cheese, capers, pickled onions, and wonderful salmon. There is nothing left to take a picture of- this will be my go-to meal at Denver airport. Tasty, filling, and maybe sorta healthy? (Or not deep fried, anyway)

This is simply a takeaway restaurant so no seating or atmosphere really. I’ve had the egg and cheese breakfast sandwich from here on a previous occasion. I really enjoyed it! The English muffin tasted fresh and had great flavor. Today I had the Cuban sandwich - wow it was fantastic! I’ll be back just for that sandwich very soon! Yes the sandwiches could be bigger for the price. Everything in Denver is overpriced and the food at the airport is no different.

The Cuban is incredible. Surprisingly close to a real Cuban! The weird thing is that you can't do a custom tip amount and their minimum is way too high, so as bad as I feel I don't tip. I'm not paying extra because your POS system is weird
