'I feel like Denver as a city needs more places on the 16th Street Mall that aren't Chipotle or Panera,' says owner Mary Nguyen, who also founded Olive & Finch.
Even after the lunch rush, the display cases at Little Finch were packed with tempting options. This new all-day cafe, which debuted on January 30, is the sister concept to, the fast-casual eatery launched by chef Mary Nguyen in 2013 that now has locations in Uptown and Cherry Creek.
Those experiences led her to open her first restaurant, P17, in Uptown, and later, Street Kitchen Asian Bistro. But by 2016, Nguyen was fully focused on Olive & Finch, a"passion project" that was inspired by her personal desire for easier access to healthy food."I'm a busy professional; I enjoy food," she explains."I wanted something chef-driven and I wanted something scratch-made, but I didn't want it to become such a commitment and time and diet and money.
Like Olive & Finch, it serves Chicago-based Intelligentsia coffee — Aviano is the only other place in town where that can be found. There are also fresh-pressed juices and Italian sodas along with beer, wine, cocktails and mocktails.Many of the pastries at Little Finch are made exclusively for the concept, including savory Danishes such as the croque madame that's bursting with cheese, ham and a perfectly runny egg.
