"My wife and I love this spot! We usually get their amazing deli sandwiches that are loaded with veggies and meat and fresh cheese, but today we tried their breakfast for my wife’s birthday. It was so good! We got the cheesy hash browns with eggs and bacon and the BEC Sammy. They did it again with fresh ingredients, generous portions, and the most delicious and fluffy eggs. Can’t recommend more! Also, they gave us a free carrot cake for my wife’s birthday! Genuine people, amazing food, and a great atmosphere."

"We kicked off the year at Tessa Delicatessen and it felt like the right move. We started with their traditional black eyed pea soup, a classic for bringing in good luck. Whether or not it actually worked is debatable, but the soup itself was comforting and well done. From there, we tried a good spread of the menu and everything landed. The cheeseburger was satisfying, the Reuben was properly balanced, and the macaroni salad tasted exactly like it should. For dessert, both the cheesecake and carrot cake were standouts, especially the carrot cake, which was moist and flavorful without being overly sweet. Tessa Delicatessen feels like a true neighborhood spot. It’s approachable, reliable, and clearly focused on doing the basics well. No gimmicks, just solid deli food that makes you want to come back."

"Everything about Tessa’s is perfect. The sandwiches are probably the best I’ve ever had. The bread is crunchy and soft and flavorful, the deli meat is fresh and tasty, the desserts, salads, everything is phenomenal here. My go to sandwiches are the Deli Turkey and the Italian. The provolone is fresh, veggies are crisp, pickles are perfect, and the mayo/mustard and other sauces make this sandwich so bomb."

"Wonderful sandwiches and possibly the best Cuban I have ever had (and I’ve lived in Miami). Nice layback atmosphere with a great staff. We had a combination of a Reuben, Cuban, BLT and soup/cheese sandwiches….all delicious and incentive."

"Wow! I’ve lived in the area for almost 5 years and discovered Tessa Delicatessen from the inKind app. I wish I found it sooner! Unassuming on the outside with an open floor layout offering plenty of seating. The breakfast burrito I got was incredible! I grew up in NYC and I miss delis, which there aren’t many of in Denver. I will definitely be back for lunch. Don’t sleep on this hidden gem— especially with Colfax under construction— they’re there, they’re open, and they’re delicious!"
