Top 3 Quick Bites

After celebrating a long, patriotic holiday weekend full of eating, we got together and started to compile some of our Top 3 lists for food and restaurants in the area. (In the process of compiling said list we realized we frequent many of the same places and probably need to branch out more. Any suggestions? Please comment and help guide us in our quest for the most delicious places in Denver.)

We’ll be posting our Top 3s during the next week or so and are kicking it off with places to grab a quick bite. Enjoy!

Top 3 Quick Bites

1. Jamaica Juice – Okay, so it’s in Writers Square next to American Apparel. The name is completely deceiving — they do have fresh smoothies but they have the most de-li-cious sandwiches toasted or not aaaaaand salads … I don’t even like salads, but they have great dressings … go try it!

2. Whole Foods – I love Whole Foods. I can’t help it — so many choices.

3. The House of Commons – Kay showed me this one. I am a fan. The lady is adorable with her English accent and they have real clotted cream and lemon curd for their scones. But the sandwiches are fresh and light and are a perfect stop-and-go lunch.

1. Illegal Pete’s – Tasty burritos nearly as big as your head — what’s to explain?

2. Handlebar Grill – The menu offers a variety of tasty sandwiches and burgers

3. Cook’s Fresh Market – While some of the things in this store are fairly overpriced, the folks at Cook’s will throw together a sandwich with fresh, tasty ingredients.

1. Noodles and Company – It’s a reliable quick bite. You always know what you are going to get, and it’s always fast.

2. Illegal Pete’s – A local place that’s more delicious than Chipolte. It also has a pretty unique atmosphere.

3. Amy’s frozen entrees – While not technically a restaurant, what’s a girl to do when short on time and hungry for something delish? Some of my favorites are the Mexican bowls and cheese enchiladas.
