My husband and I just ate her for the first time and we’re in looooove!! If we lived here we would eat here weekly!! We got the Mediterranean salad and it was the best salad we have ever had! The croutons were the BEST, the dressing was to die for, it was a large quantity, so full and supple with beautiful color and so fresh! The smoothie bowl and avocado toast were also delicious. We left the store still thinking about all the delicious flavors.. each bite had an amazing concoction of flavors that were unforgettable. It tasted so healthy but also so flavorful which you don’t always find. The service was great. The food came out super quick and they were constantly cleaning around us to make sure the place was well taken care of and to the highest standard of cleanliness. We loved it here and will come back every time we’re in Denver! We hope they open up a store in Missoula, MT!! Thank you guys!

Our lunch at Green Collective Eatery was overall average. The space has a nice vibe, but the experience lacked a bit for me. It took a little longer than expected for anyone to greet us--likely because the staff seemed short-handed and were juggling a steady line of customers. We tried the ginger snap bites from the display case on the counter. I'm not sure we knew what we were getting because the labeling wasn't very clear. The texture was unexpectedly mushy and not very ginger flavored so we wondered if we were given the snickerdoodle balls instead as the labels were on top of each other. The Med Salad had good flavors overall but the croutons were so hard they were almost inedible and there was an overwhelming amount of anise in it which caught me off guard. The bone broth was the biggest disappointment; it lacked depth and tasted more like an old bouillon cube than a fresh and rich broth. On a positive note, my friend's chopped peanut salad looked fresh and well-composed, so there are definitely bright spots on the menu. In the end, it wasn't a terrible experience--just not one that stood out in the way we hoped. With some tweaks in execution and clearer communication on menu items, it could easily be much better. Will plan to try a smoothy or avocado toast next time.

A nice olace to relax and enjoy a good and healthy breakfast. Loved the avocado toast, and the coffee. Went for a second time and had the Colorado Lox with a Matcha Latte and it was delicious! Tried to go for a thurd time during my vacation but it was a Monday and they are closed. Great customer service, thank you Allison for your service and smile. Will definitelly return.

The Colorado Lox's was crazy delicious. My smoothie was great too. The atmosphere is hip, as is the menu. The cuisine exudes freshness. The only thing you will not like about this place is the price, but they probably could charge more. Would return.
