Crema's Take

This vegan Caribbean spot in Denver has carved out something genuinely special with its creative island-inspired cuisine and thoughtfully crafted drinks that go beyond standard coffee shop fare. The open, welcoming atmosphere draws in everyone from record-shopping neighbors to folks seeking sustainable dining, and the team's genuine warmth keeps people coming back for dishes like their lauded doubles and mofongo that taste as adventurous as they look. Whether you're settling in for a slow morning or catching up over lunch, White Elephant feels like the kind of place where care goes into every detail, from the all-vegan menu to the service.

We went here for Denver restaurant week. Love the ambiance and the mission of the resturant and how they are sustainable. The appetizer mofongo bechamel was delicious, it was the perfect dish flavor wise and texture wise. The skewers were spicy and accompanied by acidic and cooling elements that were very much needed. Overall the dish was fantastic. The ice cream at the end of the meal had weird ice crystals and I did not like the texture of the ice cream. Overall the food was good, the service was great, and the drinks were food. Fun date night glad we discovered this resturant through Denver Restaurant Week.

Absolutely the BEST restaurant I've found in YEARS! And although I'm not vegan this did not hinder loving the restaurant's all vegan menu! Truly amazing flavors, unique dishes, and it made us return twice in a 4 day trip to Denver! I can't recommend it enough! Staff is wonderful and the owner Kevin, is incredibly kind and friendly! I recommend this restaurant 1000000%!

When I heard “vegan Caribbean,” I’ll admit I expected the restaurant to be Black owned. As an African American visiting Denver, I was really hoping to support a Black owned business if I could find one, so this threw me off a bit at first. That said, I still gave it a try. The portion sizes were impressive, and the staff was genuinely friendly and welcoming. My partner actually enjoyed their meal quite a bit. I personally wasn’t too crazy about the food overall, though I wish I could remember the specific dishes I ordered so I could give a more detailed breakdown of the pros and cons. The space itself is large and lively, great for accommodating big parties. I was staying on Market Street, and the walk over wasn’t bad at all, so it’s convenient on a nice day if you’re nearby.

This place ROCKS! Spent the morning record shopping and we're looking for a place for lunch. Stumbled upon The Elephant, and we're blown away. Super nice people. Amazing service. Fantastic food. Like genuinely the best I've had in the Denver area. Ordered from their brunch menu. Had a sort of loaded potato wedge type plate and a cool version of Bread Pudding. Both were very different and equally excellent. We bookmarked this place to come back to.

Delicious food and drinks! We loved everything we ate and drank. The doubles were definitely the highlight- we want to eat those every day! The service was great and it’s such a cool open atmosphere. Definitely will be back! Their happy hour is also such a great deal!
