Exploring Park Hill: My Favorite Places in Denver’s Most Charming Neighborhood
Park Hill has long been one of Denver’s most sought-after neighborhoods, known for its historic homes, leafy streets, and vibrant community spirit. Living and working here, I get to experience not just the beauty of the architecture but also the charm of the local businesses that make this area feel like a true neighborhood. From coffee shops and bakeries to family-friendly spaces and one-of-a-kind boutiques, here are a few of my favorite Park Hill spots.
Honey Hill
The kind of coffee shop that feels like a second living room. Honey Hill is beloved for its welcoming staff, cozy interior, and a menu that goes beyond the average latte. Their breakfast sandwiches and pastries are always fresh, making it the perfect morning stop before showings or school drop-offs.

A true neighborhood staple, Cake Crumbs has been serving Park Hill for years. Known for its incredible cakes and pastries, it’s also a community gathering spot where you’ll find locals meeting over coffee and parents grabbing treats with their kids. Their cupcakes are legendary, and the bakery’s warm atmosphere makes you want to linger.

Yuan Wonton
What started as a much-loved food truck has now become a Park Hill sensation. Yuan Wonton is famous for its handmade dumplings, noodles, and creative Asian street food. The flavors are bold, authentic, and unforgettable. It’s one of those places where the line is worth the wait — and it’s on my shortlist for a quick lunch or takeout dinner.

Bistro Vendôme
A longtime Denver favorite that relocated from Larimer Square to Park Hill, Bistro Vendôme brings a touch of Paris to the neighborhood. Think steak frites, onion soup gratinée, and perfectly flaky pastries — all served in a charming, walkable setting. Having this French bistro just down the street makes it far too easy to indulge in a weeknight glass of wine or a long Sunday brunch.

Lucina Eatery & Bar
Lucina is a Park Hill treasure that captures the spirit of community. With a tapas-style menu designed for sharing, every dish feels like an invitation to slow down and connect. The flavors are vibrant and global, and the cocktail list is just as impressive. It’s no surprise this spot has become one of my weekly rituals.

Nestman Orthodontics
Park Hill isn’t just about food and fun — it’s about families, too. My son gets his braces here, and the experience has been wonderful. The team at Nestman makes scheduling easy, explains treatment options clearly, and goes above and beyond to make kids feel comfortable. Plus, they’re dedicated supporters of the local community, which makes them a standout in my book.

The Art Garage
Creativity thrives at The Art Garage, a nonprofit that brings art to life for kids, families, and adults alike. They host workshops, seasonal camps, and community events that make art accessible and fun. It’s the perfect place to nurture creativity and support local culture — and it adds a unique dimension to the Park Hill neighborhood.

Shopping small feels effortless at Kyndred, a home goods boutique filled with unique, beautifully curated items. From chic kitchenware to cozy textiles and one-of-a-kind gifts, every visit feels like a treasure hunt. I often pop in for client gifts or to find something special to add character to my own home.
