Great menu, lots to choose from! - Edit
Knowing I only had one meal here, I struggled to choose from the menu, so many yummy sounding options! I absolutely loved the loaded baked potato soup! The toppings really made it, a crispy bacon crumble, sour cream, chives. My sandwich was tasty with a homemade Brie on nice crunchy bread. My niece loved her butternut risotto, but it was very spicy. We opted to head to an ice cream place, but the desserts looked amazing as well.

So yummy! - Edit
We loved eating at Watercourse. I got the cauliflower chicken with sides of mac cheese and the caesar salad. My friends tried the mushroom po’ boy and the buffalo tofu sandwich. We all really enjoyed the food. Definitely don’t miss the chocolate coconut milk shake … it was amazing! Beyond the food, Watercourse has super fun atmosphere. They have a great, shaded patio space.

Sweet lil’ LGBT+ friendly place! - Edit
Everyone who worked there was really sweet and I love that we could support an LGBT run and friendly place that is ALL vegan!! 🥰 The pretzel was AMAZING and MASSIVE, can’t recommend it enough! The portions are HUGE. We weren’t super in love with the lunch mains we got (burger and southern fried chicken) but only bc I just found the burger lacked flavour and the chicken was a bit too spicy for my partner, who still ate it but wouldn’t order it again. Overall I found the service friendly and fun, and loved the vibe of the place. We got really good vegan cupcakes to go and I’d recommend giving it a try and supporting a great business.

Brunch 10/10 - Edit
The lemon and blueberry waffles were amazing! I also ordered a lavender matcha latte which was wonderful. My bf (not a veg) ordered the Cuban with a side of truffle fries and he inhaled his food!!!! Amazing 10/10 and a great atmosphere

Food has gone downhill - Edit
The burger was bad and it had no condiments, the mac and cheese has no "cheese", and they gave me a salad with no fork. On top of that there is a back of house fee and a n expected tip of 20%. The already premium prices balloon pretty fast. I've eaten here for nearly a decade but rarely will again.
Read morePros: All veg
Cons: Their macaroni is gluten free, sigh, No flavor, Very expensive

What a place! - Edit
Loved everything about this place!
Read moreCharcuterie board - this was so good! Very generous, cheese was pretty good (you wouldn't be mistaken into thinking it wasn't vegan but still good).
Gnocchi - very creative, delicious
Turkey and brie sandwich - this was amazing! The flavors all worked so well and the bread was phenomenal
Vanilla raspberry slice - this was huge, glad we shared. Good, but not mind blowing
Cocktails were wonderful too, I forget the name but it had coconut milk in and was amazing

I can happily say each dish I’ve gotten has exceeded my expectations entirely. I would expect a flavor and they’d surprise me with a flavor I’d never had but in the best way. SO AMAZING.

Delicious - Edit
Ordered for take out Tuesday (25% off!) and got a variety of things to try. Ordered the Caesar salad, Buffalo cauliflower, cauliflower chicken, and Cuban sandwich with fries. Caesar salad was delicious and flavorful. Buffalo cauliflower was so good and both the Buffalo and ranch sauces were perfect. I didn’t love the cauliflower fried chicken. I dunked it in ranch which made it a lot better, but I wouldn’t eat it by itself. The ranch was incredible (and I’m not a ranch person normally). I’ve never tried a Cuban before but was really impressed! Fries were great but I thought they could use more salt. Would have been 5 stars without the cauliflower fried chicken. A delicious meal overall!

Not animal friendly - zero stars - Edit
Call yourself a vegan restaurant and be rude when people walk in with service animals - unacceptable. Went with my dog and immediately i was asked in an aggressive tone “is this a service dog?” “What is the service the dog is providing?”. After i explained i sat at a table outside (not even inside) when another employee came and on the exact aggressive tone asked again the same questions and almost yelled at me that “if the dog cannot behave you need to leave”. That moment i almost lost it - the dog was obviously behaving and started to get irritated (like I was) at that woman’s tone of voice and her bad energy. I wanted to leave right there i was just too tired and could barely move. Thank you for ruing my day. After the incident i lost my appetite and didn’t know how to get faster out of there. I regret I didn’t started to scold her on federal law and my rights and on the fact that they call themselves a “vegan” place. I was just too shocked as this has never happened to me and just wasn’t in the mood - it was a beautiful sunny day and didn’t want to ruin it more than always was. This place is despicable - i do not recommend. Carefully where you put your money and what type of businesses you support. Never again will go there and will tell people who want to go there not to go there.
Read moreThe food - menu was confusing as lists “turkey”, “chicken”, “eggs” and uses fake meat unhealthy ingredients- the dog didn’t even touch it.
Cons: Not animal friendly, Rude/aggressive/disrespectful staff, Food uses lots of “fake meat” ingredients

Fave vegan spot in town - Edit
I love this place. The seitan wings are the best I’ve ever had, crispy and saucy, just the way I like it. The blackened tofu caesar wrap is my top fave menu item, the service here is alway good and the desserts are totally worth it. I also love that they have cbd water here. Can’t wait to bring friends here!

We always visit when in Denver - Edit
We've been to Watercourse a bunch of times but this is our first visit since COVID. We busted our butts to get here in time for brunch and weren't disappointed.
Read moreThey had just that day updated the brunch menu to include the Chicken + Biscuit. The chicken in it is lion's mane mushroom. This thing is amazing! So good we almost didn't miss the Big Rig (RIP.) Also enjoyed the Chicken & Waffles.
Pro tip: if they run out of any baked goods you want, just head over to Make, Believe Bakery and get them there.
Pros: Consistently delicious, Something for everyone, Great service
Cons: Can be very busy, Sometimes they run out of things

Lots of gluten free options - Edit
I got the loaded baked potato soup, macaroni and cheese and small caesar salad. The baked potato soup was nice and did not seem overly salty. The mac and cheese was good but didn't taste like cheese. It was an appealing coconut flavored sauce. The caesar salad was good, especially the dressing. It was one of the best caesar dressings I ever had. Also, a nice thing was when I told them I am gluten free, they asked if it was celiac or preference and I said celiac, and they said they take care to prevent cross-contamination. That was really nice. Good service and food came out rather quickly.
