Sunrise Sunset

The trio of spots in this homegrown chain of diners (two in Lakewood, one in Wheat Ridge) all feature huge skillet breakfasts and dense homemade cinnamon rolls, along with top-quality meats (don't miss the corned-beef hash) and an array of dishes perfect for hangover cures. The uniformly cheerful servers will leave a whole pot of coffee at your table, or you can sip from a wide selection of herbal teas and even real, sugar-heavy Coke in glass bottles. Although the laid-back atmosphere can get noisy at times, coupled with that pot of coffee, the din at Sunrise Sunset is guaranteed to get you going.
