The biscuit egg cheese and ham sandwich was a tasty light breakfast sandwich. They also have tons of drink flavors to choose from if you are into that but I stuck with my no flavor added type of coffee drink, which was a warm latte on this cold winters day. My friends enjoyed their breakfast burritos and drinks as well. As their name implies 'good vibes' all around! Only complaint is they need more space for seating.

Surprisingly, this was our first time at this Big Grove (we are frequent flyers of the I.C. one ;)…read more We kept hearing such positive things about this one, so we thought we would stop by. You can tell it the original one, as it's small and a little dated compared to the others that are near. But it's kinda cozy. We sat at the bar, and that's where they excelled. Our bartender Hallie, was fantastic! Best one we have had in a long time. Super nice, super informative. I had the Margherita Pizza, never have had one at a B.G. It was ok. Very saucy. Husband had the Fried Chicken Sandwich with Korean BBQ sauce. He has gotten that at the others and enjoys that sandwich a lot especially that sauce.

Being consistent is what differentiates good restaurants from great ones and this one meets said criteria. We ordered the house made cinnamon roll to split and it was delightful. Pillowy soft with a sweet icing. For the meal, I ordered the Breakfast Sandwich with sausage (as I have the other two visits). If you're wondering what you should order, refer to my last sentence. There's limited seating so I strongly recommend joining their online waitlist before you show up as it is a hot spot. You won't find friendlier staff in the area. The Dandy Lion is truly a gem.

I love the counter service concept and being able to pick my pastry out of the case before finding a seat. I ordered the breakfast burrito, a lemon poppyseed muffin, and a latte. For brunch catching up with a friend, it was the perfect blend of savory and sweet. And MAN was the breakfast burrito delish - I adore when breakfast items have a hearty serving of avocado, and the burrito struck the perfect balance of avo and egg goodness. The accompanying sauce was also delicious. My only complaint is I'm not a local so I can't visit more often. Definitely give this one a try!

My son had the grand idea to stop by for a brownie and when they walked in we were greeted by a friendly hostess who asked if we needed a table for 4.

The meal was started with some delicious bread rolls, the beers were only $1.50 on happy hour and they even gave us scotcharoos to end our experience!! We are already planning our next trip so I hope to see you there! I promise it won't disappoint!

Everything was good... the new item seems to still need some improvement (yes the cauliflower)... it was described as sweet... it was not sweet but it was a bit spicy... it was swimming in sauce so being served on a bed of something like rice, salad or noodles and coming with a roll or bread would make this dish better (less sauce please). Always a good and fun experience and we will be back for more!

They have a full coffee bar and lots of baked goods. We were the only ones there besides staff only because it was bitterly cold and the streets were pretty bare. Staff had smiles and welcomed us. I had an iced sugar free caramel latte and he had espresso with a glass of water. We split the Billionaire Bar. Total without tip was just under $15. I'm will to pay a little extra for small business and something that was homemade and not shipped in a truck and defrosted. They were closing when we left and the owner gave us a few extra items that would have to be thrown out. Loved it! I'd highly recommend the Billionaire Bar, Olive Oil Cake, and Blueberry Scones. I need to try more items, so I'll be back!

Coffee options were good and the Cafe Breve I had was great. Our group had breakfast this go so I ended up ordering the Denver Omelette with the smoked Gouda cheese option. It was tasty and the eggs were done perfectly. The basic cafe options here are great for any meal. And if you want to grab a coffee and treat with a few friends also a nice option. It wasn't too busy (but filled up with only a few tables open) on the Saturday morning we were there. The service was good but reminder that you have to go to the counter for all transactions but they will deliver items to your table at least and this method seems to work well for them. Ambiance is nice with the perfect small town cafe vibes.
