What makes it special:

  • Time travel! No kidding, walk into 20th St. Cafe, and you'll have no doubt that some of the people sitting at the tables have been coming there since the place opened over 65 years ago. It's a Denver institution. Clippings, certificates, and proclamations adorning the walls chronicle some of the diner's history.

  • Time travel again! This time, though, I mean the amount of time that passes between when you walk in and when you get your food. It almost doesn't exist. Or, if it does you probably need special equipment to measure it.

  • Familiarity! If you've ever had a favorite, cozy, greasy spoon, no frills cafe diner, then you will immediately feel at home here.
