Out of the plethora of vegan restaurants that I have been to across the country Watercourse is definitely very high on my list. I came in for brunch and was excited to see a menu with so many tasty options to pick from. The place was empty when I visited which made for quick service. I opted for the sunrise burrito which was quite filling. They also have a fun selection of baked goods including cookies and huge cupcakes. If I am ever in town again I look forward to returning to sample more of their menu. I recommend stopping in if you are in the mood for some great food whether you are vegan or not.

I'm transitioning to going fully plant based, and I absolutely enjoyed this restaurant. Just wish I knew about it earlier. The food was good, I got the Daily Empanadas (10/10) and the curry Thai (6/10). The Curry Thai wasn't my favourite because I don't like anything charred. But everything else was sooo good. My friend got the Philly cheesesteak and the sauce that came with that was amazing. Morgan our server was super nice, and very attentive to us even though the store was busy. I'm definitely gonna have to try here again, overall just a great experience.

The food is always amazing here! We make it a point to stop whenever we visit Denver. The atmosphere is great, and the servers are always very friendly. Was a bit disappointed at the cauliflower wings price-quantity :’) but that might be because I SIMPLY WANTED MORE ? they are soo gooood!!! also please bring back the chicken waffle!! I miss those.

The only problem is the service fees- pay your employees! They deserve it! And honestly it's the only way you will stay in business because I stopped going there because of the markups.

Watercourse is always the top brunch choice in the area. It is nice to have a friendly vegan restaurant nearby. The food is delicious, and the servers are kind and attentive. Heather knew suggestions for the best options and add ons. Great service, friendly ambiance, and gender neutral and clean bathrooms.

WaterCourse use to be my favorite restaurant. We use to drive all the way from Colorado Springs just to eat here.Recently, they've changed their menue so much that it's unrecognizable from how it use to be.Now, you can't get lunch until 2pm! We didn't want breakfast at 1pm and that's all they really had until 2. So we had to sit there and wait 30 minutes before we could even order our food.The quality of service and food wasn't as good as it use to be.We won't be going back anytime soon.If they went back to how things use to be, we would love to come back. But the recent changes are NOT good. They Make the experience Make the experience significantly worse.Waterhouse has was amazing but it's fallen very very short. Please go back to serving lunch earlier and not 2pm. Who eats lunch at 2 pm.I welcome changes but the changes have to make sense and for the better.

I’m writing this review to offer a giant, heart-felt thank you to our server and the other staff present last night: thank you so, so very much for your kindness, prompt assistance and thoughtfulness when our friend had a medical episode during our meal. Our server caught our friend by the arm as he nearly fainted and held on to him until we realized what was going on. Another sweet staff ran over and asked what they could do multiple times throughout the event and brought some beneficial items. We just can’t thank you both enough for going out of your way during a busy dinner shift to ensure we were all alright. That occurrence could have been embarrassing and a scene in such a public space, but you preserved our friend’s dignity and safety. Thank you immensely and please take good care of yourselves. Thank you. Thank you.On the food (preface: I don’t make much money and get real serious about expensive food. I also lived in Portland, OR for a decade where the food is generally insanely good and moderately priced for the quality and diversity of options): for the price, the food was fine: our curries were maybe a little boring, the banh mi bowl was just simple roasted veggies, the buffalo tofu wrap was flavorful and fresh, mashed pots and gravy exactly what you’d hope, perfect fries; drinks were good. The service was above and beyond♥️
This place used to be so fantastic! They were my favorite vegan restaurant in Denver. Over the past couple of months they have changed their menu to their detriment. The sandwiches were the best thing they had going for them and they put those each on a specific day. The smoked turkey and Brie used to actually taste like smoked turkey. Now it tastes like soggy seitan on soggy bread. The last meal we had there was 2 days ago and it was not good at all. It really is a shame because we wanted to have my husband’s birthday there and now we won’t be back.

Two friends and I visited the restaurant. While the selection wasn't the biggest, we enjoyed the food. We shared multiple dishes. Our favorite entre was the Philly Cheesesteak.We really enjoyed the cupcake we ordered. It was delicious.The reason for the low rating isn't because of the food. Instead, when I was analyzing the bill, I noticed a charge that I was unsure of, the BOH appreciation since none of us had ever seen or noticed before. I kindly asked the waitress what it was. She explained it was money that would go to the staff other than the wait staff. Then she showed us that this fee was shown "all over the menu." What was on the menu was every page had fine print highlighting this, though when we were browsing the menu, we took no notice of anything other than the dinner menu and drinks. The waitress then said she would share the issue with the manager.The waitress later came to charge us for the bill. She said the charge had been removed and went from being friendly when she was serving us to being rude and seemingly upset. We never asked for the charge to be removed, but were relieved when she said it was taken off the bill.To be completely honest, we were frankly shocked by this charge. If there was a cover on the menu with a very obvious mention of the fee, rather than fine print on every page, it would definitely be more conspicuous. The wait staff should inform the customers of this fee as well. I think that this charge and the lack of visibility is predatory and shady. Please pay your staff properly and do not expect customers to just go along with an additional fee.

Missed Chris Webby because I tried a buffalo "chicken" wrap. Off the bat, my waitress informs me their an all "plant-based restaurant." Being that it's food, I thought it'd be edible. I struggled to get through it and it ultimately made me sick, so, I regret going and thinking the closest restaurant in walking distance to where I parked my car would be a good place to eat. Do yourself a favor and don't go if you aren't used to eating "vegan."

In the spirit of the holiday of the greens, I felt adventurous and wanted to go to a all green natural restaurant to spark up my day. I had a terrible experience at Watercourse Foods. The service was slow, the food was bland, and to top it off, I got food poisoning shortly after eating there. It ruined my day and I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone.
