Hot, sustaining Southern-inspired cookery is the name of the game at Sassafras, one of the best brunch places in Denver for epic Breakfast Mac ‘n Cheese.

Now then, this is a brunch spot in downtown Denver with a real difference. Open from 10 am, the menu is modest – but still incredibly moreish. Whether you want a juicy burger or something more simple like Avocado Toast, they’ve got it – but the real feature here is the choice of whiskeys, beers, and handcrafted cocktails they offer to drink alongside. If you fancy a boozy coffee to accompany your food, go for it.
