On our way to hike Gem Lake, we needed some food before and found this place. It was a Saturday (6/21/25) and the line was to the door, but we were committed and wanted to get on the trail. Took about 15 minutes to get the order and then another 15 minutes to get it, but worth it. We got breakfast and the burrito was not too heavy to hike 4+miles on. The artwork is cool at this place, but it was small. We took it to go and my friend enjoyed his bagel and coffee. read more

Barking Dog Cafe - Artwork by bathroom - Sandwiches Near Me - Lyons, Colorado

I was in town so I stopped to have breakfast and a chai. The cinnamon roll was the best I have ever tasted! Top Notch! The chai was good. The breakfast sandwich was good and came with exactly what I asked for in it. The best part of the experience was the service. This young woman helped me and I heard her for roughly 45 minutes while I ate. She had a great attitude, a smile on her face the entire time, and handled the fact that they were short one person like a champ. Even though they were slammed, she never changed her smile, tone, or attitude. I was very impressed. The space was eclectic with some very fun decor. The outdoor patio was unusable as people were smoking, which was disappointing. The reason I gave 4 instead of 5 stars was due to the man making the food/drinks. I stood at the counter and watched him make drinks for at least 10 customers after me before even starting my breakfast sandwich. It was disappointing to wait through customers behind me to eat. read more

I stopped here a couple of times to get my coffee fix while staying in Lyons. I love the community feel and fun dog inspired decor. Barking Dog Cafe is located in the heart of Lyon's downtown area. It is a great place for a pastry, breakfast burrito or sandwich. They have all of your basic espresso drinks with a number of flavors for add-ins. When you are visiting a town for the first time, it is nice to find a place to hang out at that makes you feel welcome. I enjoyed my Pineapple Coconut Muffin and Latte and appreciated the great hospitality that Barking Dog Cafe gave me. read more

Stopped by this little "jewel" to grab some coffee on our way to the Rocky Mountain National Park. We were warmly greeted and just loved the laid-back/down-home vibes of the place. The cashier was super pleasant and very patient in explaining the various types of pastries offered. I decided on the morning glory muffin top (delish) and my husband had a bear claw pastry. By the way, the town of Lyons is quite quaint; loved the small-town atmosphere! read more

Nice little coffee shop with a friendly staff. Cool pictures on the wall. Obviously avid supporters of Ukraine which I appreciate.

To the kind barista who recommended the Raspberry Caramel Iced Latte -- your combo is out of this world! I was pleasantly surprised by how good it was and can't thank you enough for the suggestion. We're visiting from Scottsdale, AZ, but we'll definitely be back -- specifically for that drink! Thank you for making our stop such a memorable one. read more

So, not from CO, we are from ATX so we try and find those places that stand out and let me tell you this place did not disappoint!! The service from the gate was IMPRESSIVE and Inviting!! it was from a young lady who was taking orders slinging drinks and doing it all with a smile while communicating!! Then you have my man behind the scenes putting together mother watering concoction's!! The food we had was fresh, tasteful, and made us appreciate the hometown vibes and locally owned and operated businesses ...Watching these two work was so refreshing as the ambiance was like a CHEERS atmosphere... it's clearly a local hot spot and people come from everywhere to try!! This place is pet friendly and needs to be spot you try if you are in Lyons, CO! Thank you for a great Saturday MORNING! read more

Still a favorite for me! Great coffee!! The Italian roast drip coffee is unbeatable as far as drips go. Their specialty drinks are fantastic as well. The cinnamon rolls are homemade and always worth it. Service is good! The atmosphere is pretty damn good too. Still has a small town feel. Just a great place. read more

For a frozen burrito they microwave it's actually not that bad. I should of known it wasn't a fresh breakfast burrito when It was only 5 bucks. But atleast they press it so it gets a little seared or else it would be a mushy soggy burrito. It was very small and not filling at all But the guys working there were cool read more

This place is just ok. I'll never understand how you can order food, the person is writing it down yet you still don't get what you ordered. I paid extra for items on my sandwich that ultimately weren't there. Pretty disappointing. read more

As a local, I don't want to tell you that this is the best cafe in Lyons. But it is... Best lattes, best prices, best service, and best sandwiches. I come here often. read more

Low key relaxing ambiance and delicious breakfast sandwiches! The service was super friendly and we enjoyed sitting outside, enjoying the weather and friendly visitors. Would definitely recommend before or after a trek to Estes park. read more

Barking Dog Cafe - BLT bagel and smoked salmon bagel sandwiches - Sandwiches Near Me - Lyons, Colorado

I've been stopping at this cute little cafe for the past few years. Love supporting the businesses in Lyons. There is parallel parking out front (on both sides of the street). It can be full but don't give up, you may find another spot around the corner. The cafe itself has a handful of tables including some retro Formica ones (my fave!). There are fresh made pastries, egg scrambled and loads of drink choices including local Sherpa chai. On this visit I went for the vegan burrito (made in house) and my friend went for a scramble which had tomatoes, spinach and feta cheese. If you drive through often there are punch cards which they store alphabetically in a little box on the counter. If you don't mind a day old pastry score one or two for just a dollar. The service is not as friendly as at other local businesses but I suspect I'll be back on my next ride through. read more

They have 1 gluten free option, which is toast despite listing gf bagels on their menu. So deceiving. They made the menu appear to be 85% gluten free. But in reality none of what's listed there as gf is actually available. Disappointing & unacceptable considering that an entire bag of gf bagels costs $8 at the grocery store next door. Yet they claim they're too expensive to keep in stock. THEN REMOVE GF OPTIONS FROM THE MENU. Shouldn't be that difficult, especially in Boulder county. read more

Cute little place. Locally roasted coffee. My breakfast croissant sandwich was exactly what I was hoping for. Delicious. I'm not sure what more you could ask for. read more

Lyons, Co. They handle the long line of breakfast seekers well, even though there are some glitches made in the process. These are corrected quickly. Excellent breakfast items including the granola. I would prefer more granola and less yogurt however. Decent latte even if it was a tad too milky. read more

Mommy at the front was so super helpful and friendly which was warm and calming as my silky smooth decaf 2% latte. The place is perfect for both locals and visitors like me. I had to try the red rocks scrambler and they mentioned the free wifi and Vegan options. Within 5 minutes I had my super healthy scramble with spinach,, feta cheese, and fresh tomatoes that have a flavor filling crunch. My only regret was not having enough room to try everything else the desert and pastry options are tempting and almost a curse for those like me who are on a very strict diet LOL. We all know there's a show out there that had a song that welcomed us with the words "where everyone knows your name " Isn't it nice to go to a place where "everyone learns your name"? read more

Breakfast bagels were delicious. Loved the coffee as well! Had to buy some beans. Friendly service.

Fantastic service, super solid coffee (they make a great dry cappuccino), and delicious sandwiches! Such cute dog decor- great stop in a small town read more

First off, I'm not from Colorado but rather in town visiting my kid. I was walking the town with my dog, and saw this little gem. I thought, how awesome!! A cafe for people and people with their dogs! As soon as I opened the door I felt the cold blast of disapproval from the staff and stuffy, older crowd of customers. Ok, so kill me. I stopped by a cafe that I thought would allow a cup and a snack WITH your dog. Not the case. So I'm! Not much of a big deal. Except that I was then admonishing after ordering a coffee. Told to go immediately outside with the dog. Here's the kicker: OTHER cafes in town allow dogs. I mean, ok to each their own, and it is perhaps a code violation. Since this is the case, and the name of this darn place is barking dog, they should at least have a giant door sign that says NO DOGS allowed. I bet the owner chimes in here to tell me that there is a sign like this, but I couldn't find one by briefly searching. It should be HUGE in BOLD letters. N O D O G S!!! Since I missed it this was a failure on their part. Terrible awful service, from a person unmoved by my faux pas. Which should have never been the case. And my coffee was ok, and would have gotten more stars except for the smug and indifferent service, and stuffy atmosphere of this "barking dog" cafe, so oddly named. read more

This is one of the cafes on Main Street in Lyons. Mostly OK, but as a cat owner, I don't care for their "death to cats" poster.

Great service with a friendly smile and comfortable place to meet with friends. Had the chai which was delicious and spinach/feta scramble made fresh and fast. read more

Barking Dog Cafe - Coffee - Sandwiches Near Me - Lyons, Colorado

We love the Barking Dog and try to stop anytime we're in Lyons! There's tons of options here, so no matter what your palate or food restrictions dictate, there is something delicious and fresh waiting for you. We grabbed a couple breads and coffees for the road, the pumpkin chocolate chip bread was especially a hit and was promptly gobbled up in probably five seconds flat! My 12 year old now asks for special visits to Barking Dog JUST for this pumpkin bread (so please don't ever stop making it!) ;) If you're in the area, put this place on your radar. Even if it's just for a cup of Joe, you'll be happy you stopped. read more

Barking Dog Cafe - Coffee and grub menu. - Sandwiches Near Me - Lyons, Colorado

Very cool ambiance. Very relaxed and "come as you are." The inside is full of random older tables and chairs and reminded me of furniture my grandma had. Employees were friendly and attentive. I got the Steamboat sandwich. They ran out of their usually bread for sandwiches so I chose the everything bagel. It was a great choice! Went really well with the sandwich. The sandwich was really flavorful and had lots of turkey on it. I'd come back here again for the relaxed atmosphere. Great place to come and read the paper or a book, grab a coffee or other drink, and just chill. read more

Extremely cheap quality cups, ripped apart before we even left the store. Drinks aren't cheap enough to reflect the terrible quality of their cups. They have bathrooms but one of the toilets was clogged. Generally just subpar service and quality of products. read more

Rude service. They do not like "out of towners". Only caters to local folks!!! Tried to stop here on my way to Nederland for a hike and was told to wait outside. Thought that was strange but I obliged, thinking someone would take my order. There were locals inside and I couldn't order a sandwich during a Saturday afternoon. read more

If I could give them a zero star I would. Let's see where to begin...placed an order over the phone for a Hall Ranch, and some coffee. Told us 10/15 minutes to arrive. Arrived 17 minutes later to then wait for over 25 minutes in line with with two people in front of us? Then without COMMMuNiCATIng that you now have to pour your own coffee, that you have no way of marking the cups to distinguish which is who's(hey maybe have markers/pens lying around), and to add insult with injury their coffee cups sleeves are hidden, so my significant other has a burn on her hand, and we are now 30 minutes late to a class she paid for (the reason we ordered ahead). On a side note, with the 'me-too' movement, which I fully endorse, don't go there as single male. I told staff multiple times I'm married, I've been in love for 14 years, & have a child with my S.O., because having a person 20 years younger than myself hitting on me, made me feel weird, to the point that I haven't been here in months because of the awkward conversations. I would not recommend coming here, unless you have an hour to waste, would like your hand burnt, and need a date. read more

This place is cute! We just stopped in after hiking and had a yummy smoothie and the mini breakfast burrito. If you're starving..get two haha but definitely worth it to stop in. Seemed kind of like a locals hangout. It's definitely easier to find parking here rather than Boulder. Nice people that work there too! read more

We grab breakfast here every time we are in Lyons. The food never disappoints and they are dog friendly on the patio.

Definitely local flavor here. Great vibe and food is prepared methodically, almost like there is love in every plate. It takes a long time though. One of our orders was incorrect, so I had to wait for mine while the rest of the family ate. Didn't like that. Sit out front if you want outdoor seating. The back part ain't great. read more

Frozen breakfast burritos - really? They were pre-made and cold. Big disappointment. Why bother to offer food you can't make.

Nice place. My first time in, so I'm going to reserve one star. Nice selection of coffees & teas. Did not have anything. to eat, but things looked tasty. Prompt friendly service. read more

listed menu incorrect. but the food they actually do have is awesome. best chicken salad ever. awesome breakfast sandwiches.

Cute, dog friendly, and inexpensive little cafe. We came here after a long, rough night at Red Rocks and was in dire need of food in our system and coffee. I'll admit I was very hungover and I ordered an egg white omelette with turkey and an iced mint almond milk latte but I didn't enjoy the omelette that much - not because it wasn't good but because I had no appetite and I was force feeding myself. I think if I wasn't hungover, it would've been good! Now the latte, on the other hand, was delicious and refreshing! I didn't want it to end. I sat in the outside patio and enjoyed watching the locals walk by with their cute puppers. read more

Great little cafe that was the only place open the day after thanksgiving. They have the Rowdy Mermaid kombucha which is amazing I ordered a Fresh Chili Cheddar Tomato quiche which is amazing. It was made in house, they had a lot of other great flavors which made it really hard to choose. Also ordered a egg, avocado, spinach and cheddar breakfast sandwich on a croissant. Again, it was really good. I haven't tried the coffee yet, but I expect it will amazing. If you want a great coffee shop to hangout at, check it out. read more
