Bump & Grind Cafe

02/25/2008 Posted by edma

This place has very unique and tasty food served up in a tacky, campy style by personable cross dressing wait staff - very busy place, plan to wait. Bakery items are delish and so is the food if you are open minded (you won't find any 'standards' on this menu.) Adults young and old will enjoy it, HOWEVER...... at least one of the wait staff has apparently become a local celebrity, and his risque 'performance art bit' and choice of clothing is too over-the-top for younger children.

Pros: Personable, efficient wait staff

Cons: Music a little too loud to converse

The owner/baker/chef is simply brilliant. He creates not only always the most delicious items -- from the best bagel & lox in town (and most affordable) to artichoke chicken sandwiches with divine slaw that is light & perfectly right, to simply the best baked goods ever made-- but also the most original food in town. You will never have another peanut butter cookie (topped with a chocolate caramel kiss) anywhere else again. Oh, and the carrot cake, the pecan sandy's, the lattes, the gazpacho soup, the... everything -- there's not one item on his menu from his original BLT sandwich to his mac & cheese that won't make you want to write home to Mom. Plus everything is totally fresh and hand-made. You'll never be disappointed. His creations are phenomenal and his menu is sensational. Go there fast! Bump & Grind is open at 7am (except Mon & Tues) for breakfast & lunch & afternoon cafe plus there's the famous & one & only Petticoat Brunch on Saturday & Sunday's. Biscuits & Gravy will never be the same again!

Pros: Best & freshest most original food in town -- and very affordable

Cons: They're only in Denver and not all over the world

If you haven't been to Bump & Grind, you're missing out. This is as much a part of Denver as the Molly Brown House and the State Capitol, only a lot more fun! You know you are about to have a unique experience as you walk up and see the slightly shabby pink and green striped store front and Barbi Dolls and shower curtains in the window. Once inside, the delicious smells coming from the tiny kitchen let you know you've come to the right place. During the week expect fabulous menu options and humorous daily specials. From creative salads to outrageous sandwiches, all the items are served up in oversize portions which are perfect to take leftovers with you for an afternoon snack or next-day lunch. Considering the quantity and quality of the food, the prices are very low. Try the "Santa Fe Tart" which is one of my favorites. Be sure to save room for a fresh baked treat after lunch. My favorite is "Caramel Knowledge"...very decadent! All the food is prepared fresh on the premises including all the unique baked goods. On Saturday and Sunday, Bump and Grind hosts "Petticoat Bruncheon", a festive weekend brunch complete with humorous drag queens. Get there early as there is often a line waiting to get in! This is the perfect irreverent venue for meeting-up with family and friends, or celebrating a birthday. Expect lots of noise and activity. The crowd ranges from little old grey haired ladies with cameras to the hip tattoed and pierced younger crowd.The delicious weekend menu features "brunchy" style items that are all just as creative and delicious as the weekday offerings only served by a lively and bawdy bunch of servers. Whether you go during the week or weekend, you will have a delicious meal and a good time. I've been eating there since they opened and I highly recommend it for locals and out of towners looking for a memorable eating experience!

Pros: Delicious, Large portions, Low prices, Homemade food

Cons: Closed Mon & Tues, Lines on weekends

this place was crowded when we arrived, clearly the place to be on a saturday morning. the "waitresses" were friendly and seemed like they enjoyed themselves, too. i had the mexican benedict and my bf had the cheesy strata - both were good and served with a great assortment of fresh fruit. the decor is a little on the kitschy side, but i guess most people enjoy that....

Pros: fresh fruit, fun staff

Cons: decor tries a bit too hard to be hip

Alice never encountered anything like this in wonderland. This is a unique experience in Denver and even challenges the avant garde ambience of San Francicso. All the waitresses in the joint wear mini-skirts, and all the waitresses in the joint wear too much make-up, and all the waitresses are men. This is a great place for the creative, eclectic, and individualists. It is sure to offend and amuse the arrogantly conservative while keeping the real people entertained and involved. Smiles prevade the employees and the clientele, making it a great place to stop before going anywhere on a weekend romp. We were greeted in a friendly manner as soon as we walked in, and given a choice of inside or outside. I reccomend eating inside to enjoy the ambience inside.

Pros: ambiance, food, service

I read about Bump and Grind on this site and had to go check it out. The guys' outfits were hilarious! They were dancing, very friendly, and attentive (their teamwork made it seem like all of them were waiting on me). The food was GREAT! I had Mexican Eggs Benedict with Pineapple Cornbread. I thought it sounded odd, but the server suggested it, so I got it. It is by far my favorite eggs benedict (and I eat this dish almost everywhere I go - it's my favorite). The coffee wasn't as good as people had raved about, but then again - are you really going just for the coffee? TRY IT!! This place was a real find!

Pros: Great Food, Entertaining, Great Value

Cons: None

I went there the morning after Prom. It was an amazing experience. The waiters were fun, with a do whatever - whenever attitude. The atmosphere was fun. The food is probably the best breakfast food in Colorado. And the coffee is great - especailly the morning after Prom. Get there early on weekends, because it can be hard to get seating in this fun, silly, and crossdressing cafe.

Pros: waiters, food

Cons: seating

What better way to spend your 5th Wedding Anniversary than breakfast at Bump & Grind. Though the waiter did say that if this was all we had planned for our anniversary he had to have a chat with my husband. We had a wonderful meal. The food is excellent! And the coffee is poured non-stop and tastes wonderful! We were a little perplexed by the Toy Box description as we didn't see too many toys, but the food, staff, and atmosphere will keep us coming back for years to come. Everything looked tasty, we ordered their famous egg roulade and it was amazing! We left with a bag of cookies that were equally a delight.

Pros: inexpensive, good parking

Sunday brunch was a true experience. Eclectic atmosphere, staff in drag, and the food (particularly at the price) was out of this world. The biscuits and gravy with sausage on the side was the best I have ever had.

Pros: Food, Atmosphere, Staff

My husband, sister-in-law and attended the wacky and wonderful Petticoat Bruncheon this morning. On the weekends, male members of the waitstaff dress in drag and serve incredibly scrumptuous breakfast food. Combine this with fun toys and assorted wigs and hats that are brought to the table, you have a recipe for adventure. While we were there, men, women and children of all ages had a great time eating incredible food in an accepting and upbeat atmosphere. You absolutely must try this unique eatery! It has quickly become my favorite place to have brunch in Denver. I hope it becomes yours as well.

Pros: Fun, Great Food, Ecclectic Atmosphere
