Rude staff, uncoordinated and messy. not professional and food was cold. The only thing i liked was the shape of the ice. Other than that my water tasted like sewage. read more

I have looked all over the Grand Junction area for a Navajo taco. I finally found Camilla's Kaffe. I ordered a Shredded Beef and a shredded chicken Navajo tacos. I can honestly say this was the worst Navajo taco I have ever tasted. The "fry bread" was burnt and hard as a brick. The seasoning and toppings were hiddened by something awful so that we could not taste the beans, sour cream and the other stuff. The taco was so awful that we both threw away 3/4 of our Navajo taco. On a positive note, the staff was very friendly. The Kaffe seemed to have an energetic crowd and the people were laughing and having a good time. Our order was a take out. I hope the rest of the menu is better than what we threw away. read more

Breakfast here is really good. It gets really busy, so the employees get pretty frantic. You go to the counter and order then sit down. We have had the regular breakfast as well as the cowboy skillet. Pancakes always come out a little warm, but the flavor is so good. One day, I am going to get a fresh one and I bet it will be amazing. Lunch is fresh, but salad dressings are a little bland and they never give you enough. Sandwiches are so-so. I keep saying I am going to try the mexican lunch options. So far, I prefer breakfast here. It's a sure bet. read more

This was a cute little diner style restaurant in downtown Fruita. There was a lovely patio to sit outside to eat, but we opted to sit inside. My family each ordered something different and no one was disappointed. I had the Cowboy skillet and did the chicken fried steak substitution. It was amazing! I highly recommend it. My dad had the special which was a burrito the size of my forearm with prime rib as the meat. It was good and the green chili was incredible! Mom had The Usual and said the bacon was cooked perfectly. Everyone also loved the pancakes. Our server, Kalee, was great and very friendly. She kept our coffee topped off and checked back with is just the right amount. Thanks for a great breakfast! read more

Camilla's Kaffe - The Cowboy Skillet with the chicken fried steak added. Delicious!! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Fruita, Colorado

My chili rellenos were great, service just okay - but eating with flimsy single-use plastics was impossible. Why revert to a world full of disposables when there are other options after reopening local Fruita restaurants? Camilla's Kaffe rewards loyal consumers trying to support a neighborhood spot with long wait times, sub-par service, tables in the sweltering heat, unusable tiny plastic single-stream utensils by leaving a mountain of trash behind. Even though our restaurants have alternatives, Camilla's seems to be taking the path of least resistance. For now, I'll be seeking out restaurants that value the option to keep unnecessary waste out of our overburdened landfills. read more

Used to say 5 star. They use fresh ingredients and used to have the best service. I've had several bad experiences since Covid. Hopefully, they improve again. I'd love to go back. read more

Food was decent. Friendly staff. Would've given it 4 stars, but I took one star off for a mandatory 20% surcharge on all orders. (Forced tip). And for the record, I'm a great tipper--often tipping up to 40%... so not only did I give a smaller tip than I would've normally, but I also left feeling gross about being forced to tip. read more

Nice coffee shop, bigger than you'd think from the outside. Good latte, friendly folks. read more

I guess I expected more from all the positive reviews. I think this fits the Yelp description of 3 stars - A-OK. We had to wait to be seated until one of the front tables was cleared off - in spite of the fact that the back area was mostly empty. And we were seated next to the only filled table in the front section - with 4 realtors talking business - with enthusiasm. Not a problem that they were talking so much and so loudly-- but why seat us there? We ordered the Route 66 Fries to start. I knew they were steak fries (my least favorite type of fries) - and they were tasty! It was a small bowl of steak fries covered with green chile pork sauce, bacon bits (real and generous), cheese and a dollop of sour cream. I thought they were pretty good, but for $7.50?? That is a lot of money for a cereal bowl sized serving. I ordered the 1/2 sandwich 1/2 soup combo. It was listed as a "bowl" of soup - but seemed cup sized to me. That said - 5 stars for the homemade soup. It was French onion and had the added treat of well caramelized fresh mushrooms. Broth was full flavored and onions were beautifully cooked. Next time I go - soup will be my order. The half sandwich I ordered was tuna salad. I was served chicken salad (at first I thought it was the mildest of all tunas - but when I pulled out a piece, the texture said that was definitely poultry, not fish). It wasn't bad for chicken. Good, fresh bread. Wonderful and ample sprouts. My husband had a patty melt. He liked it and I was so happy I didn't have to eat it. Again - bread was great and very nicely grilled - not oily as so often happens with a grilled sandwich. But they had gone overboard with the thousand island dressing to the point the burger was super slippery and had a hard time staying inside the bread. Just too gooey for me. Extra points for good beer and having a dessert menu. All in all - you can get good food at Camillas. I think it is very pricey, though (mine was $10 as was my husbands - I think that is a lot for a simple lunch). And you have to order carefully. GET THE SOUP!! SO GOOD. read more

See all

During covid they are only serving on patio. In styrofoam boxes, plastic ware. Guess it's more economical to let garbage pile up then to pay a dishwasher? No condiments unless you want to go stand in line again inside. More waiting. Even with limited seating it took nearly 45 mins. to get our food. Neither meal was memorable, and I wouldn't call the green chili sauce authentic 'green chili'. Mediocre at best. Service more like self serve, unfortunately the appropriate tip was paid before our experience. Will not be back. read more

The food was good but the service was terrible! We went in and ordered our food and I changed my mind on what I wanted to drink. After we were done ordering the older lady that took our order went back to the kitchen and started talking about how I changed my mind and I wanted this and I wanted that that!!! Then was saying something about my mask! Very rude and inappropriate to talk about customers. read more

Always friendly service and great food! Only counter service since Covid but still good.

Good food, great service, what more could you want? I had the loaded potato soup and grilled cheese. Both were very good. My husband had the chicken avocado salad and thought it was excellent. The apple pie was very good too. We'll definitely be back! read more

Camilla's Kaffe - Yum! Apple pie a la mode and peach iced tea. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Fruita, Colorado

Had high hopes but was let down. Chile rellenos is always my go to meal where ever I'm am. Here I had to chisel my way through the over cooked outer layer only to find cheddar cheese. That's already two strikes down for me; over cooked in probably less than fresh oil and cheddar cheese. My wife's meal came with a pancake and ... well it was not very good. Probably would not return not re read more

Our new favorite breakfast place! The staff go above and beyond to make sure your experience is great! The Chile Relleno breakfast is the bomb! read more

So we stopped here on our road trip due to the great reviews. It was so worth it! I had the Mexican hot chocolate with espresso (I don't remember the name) and that in itself made the stop worth it. Literally the best coffee drink I've had in my whole life. The breakfast was great too and service was excellent! read more

We ordered before noon, and did not receive our food for over thirty minutes, despite seeing many other tables served before us, even though some came at least 10 - 15 minutes later than we did. The server claimed a wrap that we ordered takes 25 min to cook. Really? It was a warmed turkey wrap. Fries weren't even hot. read more

The food here is consistently great. Somewhere along the line though, because if COVID, they switched from table service to order at the counter. Not a fan of this format because they're so busy it's hard to find a table. The wait for food has also significantly increased. As if the time of this writing, we have been waiting 40 minutes for our breakfast. It was like this the last time as well. We will certainly be back, as the food is always great. The changes are just a bit frustrating. Good and staff are great overall. read more

Food and service are amazing. Staff always had a smile, even when you have a special request,

Really nice staff and good foot. Omelettes were prepared exactly as we ordered. Crispy hash browns were really tasty. Glad we came!

Where do I start??? I found this place on Yelp on my way to Country Jam Music Festival in the neighboring town. Joey, my server was absolutely fabulous!! Always there for you! It has a really nice outdoor patio and the food was delicious and also a work of art! Homemade chicken salad with avocado and so much more.... couldn't get through half of it! read more

The quintessential small town cafe, excellent food and great personal service! We stopped on the way back from a camping trip at Dinosaur NM, ready for someone else to do the cooking! Boy did we pick that right place! We had the fish taco's that were fresh and hot and complimented by some obviously home made sauce and french onion and mushroom soup. Yummers! Lunch was topped off with a slice of peanut butter pie, which was simply to die for! EAT HERE! read more

We got breakfast here to go while in town during COVID. We were impressed with how everything was packaged. We had an omelet, a biker burrito, and a cinnamon roll. Unfortunately, the omelet order was incorrect. The cinnamon roll wasn't anything to write home about, but the rest of the food was very good. Nice crispy topped hash browns and perfectly cooked, nice quality bacon. We would eat here again! read more

I felt compelled to write this review today based off of one thing, service...or should I say the lack of. We are local to Fruita and have eaten here many many times. The food is good, and the service used to be. The last two times we have eaten here as a family the service has been less than stellar. What used to be a cute little sit down restaurant is now a "self service" place to grab food along with some attitude from the waitresses. There is now a mandatory gratuity of 20% added to each check regardless of service. That extra $10 added to our bill today was way over what any waitress would have earned otherwise. When you order at a counter, are asked to take your own beverages and cutlery to a table of your choice, and then have to get your own togo boxes before leaving does warrant 20% gratuity. Tips should be earned based up performance. Furthermore, on our way out we were passing the kitchen and a two inch cockroach was crawling across the floor. Before I could snap a photo, Joey, one of the waitresses saw me and stomped her shiny black Dansko right on top it. She proceeded to stand there with her foot on it refusing to pick it up while I was watching. I was so furious after that I asked for her name, and the owner I am presuming, asked why I needed it... I told her for a review, and she immediately copped and attitude and asked "are you going to facebook." I now know why, as I have been reading through their latest reviews...I am sorry to say, but that will be the last time we dine there and I will not recommend it to others in the future. read more

This place not only has an amazing staff but the food is unreal. We came for breakfast and decided to go back the next day and get lunch. The chili relleno breakfast and lunch is bomb and so was the the French dip. You can add jalapeños o pretty much everything and it is so yummy. read more

As a local we love this place. Food is good, people are nice! Menu has great tasting food. Don't expect a lot of healthier options. For breakfast the biker burrito with bacon is awesome read more

We have been going to Camilla's for many years. The experience has become less than enjoyable. The food has gotten more expensive, the quality and service has gotten worse. You order at a counter and seat yourself...the actual service provided by the staff is simply to deliver your food and if you're lucky, your coffee cup gets filled. For that they add a 20% gratuity to your bill, you have no option to tip more or less. The last two times we've been in, the gals at the counter have been less than friendly, bordering on rude. We will probably be taking our breakfast business elsewhere from now on. We get better food, better service and a more reasonable bill (breakfast for 2 at Camilla's was $30 today) at several other breakfast spots in Grand Junction. read more

Great experience. Toured Colorado Monument and went to Fruita for food with 6 people. Group had fish tacos. Navajo taco x3, nachos, and onion rings. Sizable portions and everyone reported their meal as delicious! As important, they were very well prepared to serve in our new COVID environment. Plenty of seating outside as well. And the peanut butter pie was awesome! Come and enjoy. read more

The most attentive and friendly staff I've ever had the pleasure to spend time with. Fantastic breakfast and great location. Thank you for your hospitality. read more

Camilla's is a must when visiting Fruita. Their coffees are great as is their breakfast. Their Mexican dishes are excellent and the staff is super friendly. Today, I'm having the rellenos. They are crispy, spicy (not too hot) and delicious. read more

The breakfast is so good I love the way you just go to the counter and order there. Then your breakfast is brought out nice and hot. Really really good! read more

The food is good. It comes out relatively fast and is just how you order it. My issue is the people working here are rude. We ate quickly and asked for a to-go box. We quickly got three boxes and a reminder that they were at 50% capacity and that there was a line waiting outside. In other words, "get the hell out". We weren't loitering. We had just dropped over $100 at breakfast and were putting coats on the 6 year olds before going outside. We had actually waited 30 minutes for a table and didn't complain about the wait. We didn't cause COVID. Don't put your frustration about the restrictions on the customers. Camilla's can afford to loose this customer. How many more though?? read more

Great food, friendly staff. A good local eatery that has nice, cold, local brews from the Copper Club on tap.

This place was recommended to us, so we thought we'd give it a try. What a mistake. The worst place to order Fish and Chips. The fish was overcooked. The breading was tough and almost burnt. It looked like it was cooked twice. The service was bad. The fat lady that served us has an attitude. The food is pricey for what you get. We won't be coming back to this restaurant. It's over rated. read more

Menu is simple with excellent options. Coffee is great tasting and is fresh!! Nice hidden gem in this city read more

3 stars for being standard homey American food in a casual dinner setting. 2 stars for having more flies buzzing around the dining area than any restaurant inside the continental United States. I had a potato soup and a club sandwich. Soup was above average, sandwich was Denny's quality albeit huge portions. Makes you question their health standards when you're constantly being bothered by flies while you eat. Felt like Africa. read more

I went here twice in two days and had the Breakfast chili Relanos both days...outstanding! And great coffee too

We were here in Fruita for the Headless Chicken Run. What an adorable town. Stopped at Camilla's for a late lunch. They were busy with the weekend festival happening. The waitresses were amazing! Kiddos to them. Food was ok, not great. I had chicken chili verde burrito. Honey had nachos. Plenty of food, just not much flavor wise. Again, the staff went above and beyond for as busy as it was. They get 5 stars, food gets 3 stars. read more

Always awesome. Everyone that visits us from out of state has to go there. We are totally hooked on the Chili Rellenos and Walnut and cranberry pancakes. Love Alisa and Debbie, they make it worth it. read more
