There are not enough stars for this place! The vibe is super welcoming and the food and drinks are delicious! Truly unbelievable that it’s all plant based. My only advice would be to check the bakery case before you order because there might be amazing surprise treats. I have the cauliflower wings, Cuban and a cocktail. Took the carrot cake to go and so delicious start to finish. And the friendly staff and welcoming atmosphere just makes it perfect.

The atmosphere, service, and food were all delicious — a wonderful place to relax and enjoy a meal. The staff were friendly, and the overall vibe was vibrant yet comfortable. For the most part, their menu feels thoughtful and nourishing, though they could take it to the next level by reducing some of the less clean/toxic ingredients for an even more wholesome dining experience. Still, a solid go-to for flavorful plant-based meals.

First of all. Im not Vegan or Vegetarian, however!…. This food was good! Surprisingly i thought i was going to hate the absence of meat products in my food, but i enjoyed the food. I tried the mushroom burrito, turkey and brie, and the Caesar wrap. Fantastic flavor.
It doesnt beat meat, but its a great alternative.

I dined at Watercourse on March 3rd, 2024 and i’ll never dine here again. Let me tell you why.
I honestly wasn’t going to even write a review but the more I thought about how poor my experience was, I realized it was important to share. I traveled from Los Angeles to Denver alone for work and I was excited to eat here, as I am plant based and did a lot of research on where to eat. I decided on Watercourse because I saw they had a three course option for a great price. I excitedly made my reservation about a week in advance. I arrived at about 4:20 and it was pretty quiet. I was greeted and seated by 4:25 and then completely forgotten about for almost 40 minutes. I’m not joking. The servers would look over at me, say something to each other, and then walk away. I had time to spare because I was just going back to my hotel afterwards, so I waited to see how long it would take them to remember I exist. A large party was sat about 20 minutes after I sat down and they were immediately taken care of, drinks and all. Again, there weren’t many tables at this time, the servers knew I was there and hadn’t been taken care of yet, and still continued to ignore me. I don’t remember the exact servers but I know one of them was a woman with very short hair – that’s all I remember. Anyways, when they finally bothered to come to my table, there was no apology for the delay. Very nonchalant. The actual food was ok, it was a bit cold and the only dishes I actually liked were the mushroom starter and the chocolate dessert. The seitan steak and halloumi (?) sticks were kind of gross. This whole experience was highly disappointing and I will never come here again. If they don’t care about their customers (especially single diners) why should I give this place even more money? I have vegan friends that frequent Denver and I tell them to avoid this restaurant like the plague.

Today my daughters and I enjoyed great food and service here. We were apprehensive upon entering because there were no other black people in the entire restaurant and when we encounter that kind of environment, we get poor service or attitudes. We were pleasantly surprised by the smiles when we entered and the nice greetings. Once seated our server Heather was pleasant, willing to answer questions and checked on us frequently. We ordered the Denver omelette, French toast, cauliflower wings, and the Philly cheesesteak. The food was delicious and you would never think it was all plant based. All that to say, if you’re looking for flavorful plant based dishes and a welcoming atmosphere, come here and experience Watercourse Foods!

If you are looking for a dairy free milkshake, this is your spot! I get so tired of people whining and saying – dairy free milkshakes can never be the same as real dairy. WRONG. The peanut butter shake is a dream and I would bet my piggy toe that those haters would not be able to tell the difference between this and a full dairy shake. The cupcakes are IMPRESSIVE looking as well.

Great friendly service and atmosphere but unfortunately the food was pretty mediocre. I really don’t like leaving negative reviews, but the Watercourse platter was probably the worst thing I ate on my trip to Denver. Vegetables had little flavor and seemed like they’d been sitting out, and the tofu scramble was pretty bland. The only aspects of the meal that were good were the vegan chorizo and the cold brew coffee. Maybe this wasn’t the dish to order or maybe they were just having an off day. I know Watercourse has a great reputation and I might need to visit again to give them a fair shot.

Great place for vegan meal! Caesar salad is amazing. The Philly sandwich and cauliflower wings were on the heavier side but still pretty good. Love the all vegan menu!

Came here from the Springs with two friends from out of state. Was so good that we had to come back up here another time before the week trip ended! The staff are incredibly nice and the food is outstanding. The seitan wings and street corn risotto are a must try. Seating options for outside when the weather is beautiful and cooperative. Dog friendly as well!

Ive been coming here for over a decade, and I’m sad to say it has gone extremely downhill over the last few years.
My friend made a reservation for 7:30pm without checking the closing time, which is on us, but if you completely shut down the bar and kitchen at 8pm it just seems strange to me to take reservations for sit down dining at 7:30.
The staff is friendly, but I agree with other reviewers that say there isn’t really enough info given about how to order when you sit down. We sat for a while at the table for a while before someone came up and told us we need to go order at the front because the kitchen would be closing in 15 min. The ordering system has been different almost every time I’ve gone in the last two years, I wish it was better communicated.
The food is probably the thing that has declined in quality the most recently. Everything is incredibly salty and heavy, and almost everything we ordered was room temp or cold when we got it. The $18 meatball sub had the sauce on the side, which is fine, but was at most an ounce of it for a large sandwich.
I understand that food and labor costs are expensive, but paying $35 for a small glass of wine and a mediocre sandwich at a fully self service restaurant seems a little nuts.
On the plus side, their baked goods are still fantastic.
