Denver Brunch Tour: Revelry Kitchen

Happy Hump Day...we are half way to the weekend nerds!

My favorite thing to do on the weekends?
Wake up. Sloooooooowly. Stretch and snuggle my San Diego Comic Con exclusive Nibbler stuffed animal then head out for a late breakfast. Or as it's liked to be called brunch. But really, anytime is a good time for breakfast!

My favorite thing to do in a new city?

Find the cutest, coziest and yummiest spot to eat said brunch! My go to order at any brunch spot is: eggs over easy, hash browns and an english muffin with butter and jelly, strawberry. OH don't ever forget the COFFEE!

My new city is Denver, so now it is time to grab my friends and find that perfect spot to call our own.

First up Revelry Kitchen. Welllllll technically second...but I Ocean Eyes and I JUST went to Revelry and loved it so I need to share this one first :)
Located on the corner of a busy street and a cozy neighborhood, sits a quaint old house that is Revelry Kitchen {4140 West 38th Ave.}. Inside is open and bright full of wooden tables, benches and old chairs. A large and beautifully modern bar sits directly in the middle of the space. Windows of stain glass are a small tucked away treasure.
The menu is classic using as many local vendors as possible. My favorite? The bacon. I don't even really like bacon but Tender Belly is amazing. I loved it so much I stole Ocean Eyes' because I opted for fruit with my eggs and hash browns. OH the hash browns! They were the BEST I've ever had. Perfectly cooked to crispy perfection. I could eat them all day.
The coffee?! Perfect! I've been to many places in Denver and LA that are chic and adorable, but the coffee is meh. If I cannot have a good coffee with breakfast I'm super sad. Revelry's coffee is great. Ocean' Eyes got the spiciest Bloody Mary and I had at taste, loved it then the spice kicked in! He loved it which is what really mattered!
Tummy's full it was time to rush over to Deadpool {#LOVEDIT} but if there was time, Tennyson St. is only a couple blocks over and they have some great places to check out. I LOVE the Denver Cat Company's cat cafe {3929 Tennyson St.}, all of the cool street art and a great lil shop called eXtraOrdinary Gift Co. {3867 Tennyson St.}

Revelry Kitchen will definitely be on the list for top spots to continue going too after I've tried everything Denver had to offer in the breakfast department. Heading to Denver soon? Or already live here? You much check this place out!

The Sprinkles Cupcake ATM

I think that in the past we have established that I have a bit of a passion for desserts! So when I moved to LA and discovered that there was a magical place where you could acquire fresh desserts at ANY hour...I was like whaaaaaaaaaaaa?????!!!
That place would be Sprinkle's Cupcake ATM!

These mythical creatures are few and far between...but when you spot one in the wild...WOWZA! Look at those colors! Nothing is more Instagram worthy. EVEN more so than the food! Though the cupcakes are my favorites around! Moist and oh so chocolatey! If you like that sort of thing!
It might be the kid in my that finds it incredibly fun to walk up to a machine and have it spit out something you love. It was a blast taking one of my cupcake obsessed best friends there when she came to visit last November.
Head over at night for a romantic date night! GORG right?!

Luckily...or unluckily for my health...there is an ATM pretty close to my new home at the Americana. It is such a beautiful and happy place to be. I've also visited the ATM in Beverly Hills and Las Vegas!

My Favorite Place In LA: Republic of Pie

Ever since I've set out on this solo adventure of life, I've been searching out new and different experiences. Food, especially desserts have always been a BIG part of my life. I find food is a great way to get people together and get to know them better. 

I don't know about you, but I might secretly judge others by what they order...in a good way. It's always the tiniest similarities that I find in others that make my heart soar. If I can take a person to my favorite place and they love it, that is the best thing in the world!
If you follow me on Instagram, you MIGHT notice that I am at a lil place called Republic of Pie a LOT. I try to hangout there at least once a week. I found it quite by chance one day while Googling places near my guitar lessons. I wanted to try and beat traffic, have a coffee and write.
ONE search and PIE popped up RIGHT DOWN THE STREET! Add on a Yelp search and an image similar to mine popped up. I knew I had found my spot.
THEN I found out they even had their monthly drink named Megan!? Could this place get any better?!
YES! Because their pie is pure amaze-balls! For the longest time I only had the apple. Apple is my favorite. BUT new things...new experiences and I've tried now pumpkin {do I LOVE pumpkin?!}, peach {NEWEST fave that they took away recently because it's out of season} and strawberry rhubarb {a friend let me try it and it has now replaced peach...sorry peach!}. I always get their Chai Latte because it is the BEST {Fig Tree Cafe in PB you have some competition!!}. Second best drink is their Nutella Latte!
Not only is this place special to me because of it's nerdy aspects, amazing pie and the fact that they've Insta-ed a few of my photos. It's special to me because I go there to do what I love. The space is inviting and I feel comfortable enough to escape into my own creativity. I love going there alone and feeling like it's my place. But I also I LOVE taking my favorite people there! It can't get any better than favorite friends and favorite food!
