I just realized I've not reviewed Gaia despite eating there almost weekly. This gem in the Platt Park neighborhood (that's where Sushi Den is to you uninitiated) is probably the best breakfast in Denver (except if you're looking for greasy diner breakfast, but that's another subject entirely). They do fantastic crepes (both sweet and savory), egg dishes, hot drinks, granola...I could go on. Last weekend I noticed a new egg dish on the menu...baked eggs. To die for. They grow loads of veggies out back, so during the spring-fall, odds are that much of what's in your dish came from the backyard. They bake their own bread (you even get a bit of that day's freshest creation for free while you're trying to decide what to eat). If it hasn't been made clear yet, they are VERY conscientious about their ingredients - organics, locally sourced where possible, etc, and you can taste the difference in their food. The outside seats are the most coveted most of the year and often you'll encounter a wait (and they don't take reservations). It's fantastic.
Pros: Fresh, local, often organic ingredients, great neighborhood setting, delicious menu
Cons: Parking can be tough, crowded
