Ballyhoo Table & Stage

Crema's Take

“This is a café-bar hybrid in Denver that doubles as a live performance venue—think drag brunches and theatrical shows rather than a traditional coffee shop—with a genuinely warm, inclusive vibe that regulars praise. The catch is the 3.8 rating reflects real inconsistency: the food menu is underdeveloped (multiple reviews mention skimpy brunch offerings), and it seems to work best as a social/entertainment destination rather than somewhere you'd go specifically for coffee or a meal. If you're drawn to the venue concept and community atmosphere, it's worth a weekend visit; if you want reliable food or excellent coffee, you'll likely be disappointed.”

What to expect

Classic coffee drinks done right. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast on the menu. Open late. Family friendly.

This place has so much potential. I love the atmosphere, the performances and the drinks! We went for a drag brunch but the brunch menu and food menu is seriously lacking. I will definitely be back for more performances and drinks, but not the food!
