Forget about ambience - it's a big yellow counter, fluorescent lights
and a couple of slouching figures shoveling down tacos - but it's all too easy to forgive
when you rip into the chili relleno burrito - a glorious disaster of peppers, cheese, refried
pinto beans and salsa verde.

It does supper and sandwiches, but the decadent pastries are reason
enough to visit this lovely Washington Park cafe. The hardest to resist is the red velvet
hedgehog - a moist red cake covered in cream cheese icing and shaped like a little mon-
ster. The brunch menu, crowned by an excellent salmon Benedict, is a neighborhood fa-
vorite.

Beatrice and Woodsley is the most artfully designed
dining room in Denver. Chainsaws are buried into the wall to support shelves, there's an
aspen growing through the back of the dining room and the feel is that of a mountain cab-
in being elegantly reclaimed by nature. The menu of small plates is whimsical and
European inspired . Mix up two or three with some hyper-kinetic alcoholic elixirs.
