FOOD AND DINING
Ironworks Brewery doesn’t just have good beer Jeffco had a hard task ahead of them in this category. ASIAN RESTAURANT Our first winner is the Tea Garden Chinese Restaurant which was voted best Asian restaurant. Tea Garden has been serving the best Asian food around since 1986. Their followers are so loyal they come from miles around for their famous sesame chicken. The service is excellent and the atmosphere is friendly. BAKERY & ITALIAN RESTAURANT Vincenza’s Italian Bakery is located in the historic Wheat Ridge Dairy building where it has been charming Jeffco diners with its baked goods and fine Italian fare for years. Diners enjoy the friendly staff, great food, and welcoming atmosphere. If you can’t make it in to the restaurant, catch them at your local farmer’s market. BBQ RESTAURANT Bennett’s BBQ in Arvada serves up delicious, Texas style, BBQ. Just walking in the door will make your mouth water. Bennett’s claim to fame is their slow smoked meats and great family specials. Their easy to find location also offers banquet facilities with great southern flair!

You will feel right at home and you’ll want to stay all day. Sit outside and watch all the wonderful goings on of downtown Golden any time of day.
BURRITO & GREEN CHILI I don’t think you can live in Jeffco and not frequent Santiago’s Mexican Restaurant. There is nothing better to wake you up on your way to work than a world famous Santiago’s breakfast burrito. The rest of their menu is worth mentioning too, enchiladas, fajitas, carne asada and more! Whatever time of day you go, don’t forget to try their spicy green chile!
COFFEE Everyone likes their coffee so why not get it at a place that is a natural gathering spot for the whole town? La Dolce Vita in Arvada serves up great coffee with a side of small town friendliness. At any given time you will find an assortment of folks hanging out, enjoying their cup of joe, unwilling to leave La Dolce. Stop by on the weekend for live music.
BUTCHER BE Everyone in Colorado, not S T JefMe just fco, likes to find that premium trocut of beef that is perfect for the grill this time N
DELI/SANDWICH D’Deli is another downtown Golden jewel. This little sandwich shop draws people in with the smell of fresh baked
ort
bread. How can you say no to that? Their goal is to provide a quick and healthy alternative to fast food and they do it well.
DESSERT Jeffco readers love dessert so much they couldn’t pick just one winner in this category. Cheesecake Therapy and Scrumptious, both in Olde Town Arvada, tie for the favorites. Cheesecake Therapy makes homemade cheesecake that is almost too pretty to eat. Almost. They are proud to feature many made in Colorado products and have a delightful location where you can enjoy a coffee and a treat. Scrumptious serves the best homemade ice cream ever. The first thing you notice is the colorful pig outside the door immediately followed by the vast array of candies in this ice cream parlor/old time candy store. While you enjoy your ice cream have a look around and discover candy you never knew you loved.
FAMILY RESTAURANT & PIZZERIA Woody’s Pizza is a double favorite, voted best pizzeria and family restaurant. Woody’s has a great patio, draft beer, friendly faces, and did we mention the pizza? Fantastic pizza! Stop by at lunch for their unlimited pizza and salad bar buffet.
