The Corner Beet is a vegetarian cafe with great food and Gypsy Juice. (Provided by The Corner Beet.)
The women who created Gypsy Juice are gypsies no more: they’ve officially opened a neighborhood juicery and vegetarian cafe called The Corner Beet in Capitol Hill. Just nine months ago, Nikki Hazamy and Donna Dempsey made Zagatap list of six rising food artisans in the Denver area — their organic, were getting rave reviews at places like Root Down and . Back then, their idea was to expand to a street cart and delivery service.
“Our plan was to be peddlers,” said Hazamy. “But then we found this space, and it all fell into place.” Itap a great addition to the hipster neighborhood at 14th and Ogden streets, with a simple but creative vegetarian menu that features fresh, organic produce.
You can stop by for their Gypsy Juices, like Roots of Love carrot-beet-apple juice and Bon Vivant green juice. (On Friday, they served up samples of a juice they’re soon to roll out — a tasty concoction of purple cabbage, ginger, lemon and apple thatap so new it doesn’t yet have a name.)
Itap a comfortable place to hang out, so you can also stay for a meal. For breakfast, there’s a selection of toast with their hand-crafted toppings. The Friday special was vegan pumpkin butter, and their beet butter is always on the menu, along with the farmer-style garlic toast served with hard boiled egg.
Lunch items include soup and $9 sandwiches like The Jam, which is a delicious stack of thinly sliced ripe pear, goat cheese, fig jam, and mixed greens. There are also salads, such as the $9 Southwest with black beans, red onion, black olives, avocado, and pico de gallo, and the $8 Super Seed, a mix of greens, carrots, cucumber, feta, and lots of healthy seeds: sunflower, hemp, and pepita.
They’re open Tue. through Fri. from 8 a.m. to to 5 p.m.; Sat. from 9 a.m. to 5 p. m.; Sun. from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. The Corner Beet, 1401 Ogden, 720- 295-4447.
