At Dimestore Delibar, you can grab various sundries and freshly made deli items, including house-made nut butters, ricotta, pesto and other sauces, cheeses and meats - and go. With the Natural Grocer at Platte and 15th streets having closed, LoHi residents have a ways to go to get to a convenience or grocery store. Before you’ve finished eating, you’re automatically drawn to the deli, wanting to know how you can possibly take more of this goodness home with you. When I finished, I seriously had a hard time keeping myself from licking the plate.įortunately, it was followed by the most delicious eggplant parmesan “dimeroll” sandwich I’ve ever encountered, rolled wrap-style in a thin focaccia bread. The hubby and I wolfed down the roasted yukon potatoes with housemade ricotta with cherry tomatoes and capers. I’ll admit, as a vegetarian, I’m not much of a food critic (our paper has Chef Scott Durrah for that), but when I saw some of the German-themed specialties on the menu, I was intrigued it was going to be tough to stand up to my grandmother’s German casseroles and comfort food. They had me at the first sip of The Pharcyde drink, and several other $10 “dime pieces” (house cocktails) were equally unique and tasty. It’s obvious that much attention has been paid to the details in creating the casual, hip atmosphere. It’s adorned with mason jars of house dried and candied fruit garnishes and backlit with three giant stained glass panels, including an image of the Lady of Guadalupe, which Fuentes says is a little homage to the church up the street. “If you work in the restaurant industry like we do, it’s hard to find anything but pizza when you get off work at night,” said Fuentes from behind the colorful bar.
