    Sadly I have to lower my rating from 5 to 4 stars. The older female that has poor people skills is going to lose this place business. If you run into her, you'll know. Otherwise food and atmosphere...great and cozy.

    Who stumbled on this amazing donut shop. What set it apart is the customer service, Tyler you were a superstar ! The donuts were all amazing and we let our eyes do the shopping. We didn't finish anything with all of them were delicious. There's nothing here that I wouldn't eat or come back for. Has a cool little home in Mountain feel. Highly recommend and will be back again!!!!

    GO HERE. GO HERE. GO HERE. Every single food item I have tried at this place has been exceptional. From their donuts to their eggs and bacon... it has this unique amazing flavor that I can't find elsewhere. Their homemade green chili is truly the star of the show. IT IS AMAZING. It is very roomy inside and I love all the decorations. I have put a few dollars on the walls throughout my years. Richard, the owner, is so outgoing and friendly. Always greeted with a smile. I told him I hadn't visited in a few years and he sat and talked to me about my family and what we were doing now. I love places that (even if they don't remember you) always treat you like a friend! I am going back before I leave!

    No trip is complete until we've had a chance to visit with our friends at Daylight Donuts. This is a local place for locals which is always welcoming to polite guests. We love the outdoor option as the weather permits because the patio is dog friendly to leashed, friendly dogs. Come on bye. You won't be disappointed.

    Funky fun decor

    Yes yes yes!!!! We were so happy to have found this breakfast spot. It has an advantage of being one of the places that is open early. Seeing that we were on east coast time that really helped. Parking in the back gives you an hour of parking They offer a full breakfast. I had the breakfast burrito on my first visit and on a different day the breakfast quesadilla. Both of them came with a side of hash browns and some black beans. The salsa on the side was wonderful. I asked for my hash browns to be extra crispy and they delivered. The donuts are a big draw. If you have a sweet breakfast tooth then this place will rock your world. The service was so friendly everyday. I enjoyed this place so much I actually bought a t-shirt. We also went there everyday of our week long stay.

    Sweet & savory treats

    My friend took me here for my first visit and I had the best experience! Yummy sweet & savory treats with a full breakfast menu. Very welcoming staff, especially Tyler! Definitely will be returning when I come back into town. I ordered the sausage rollups (order more than you think you need, we got back in line for more!), the baked cinnamon bun (they also have fried!), and strawberry sprinkled donut. Thanks Tyler!!!

    Returned for a second day in a row to pay off my small debt from the day before since I didn't have cash (and didn't realize there was a $10 minimum for credit cards) and to get more donuts, of course. We've enjoyed the Black Bottom donuts on both days, and I also added a giant apple fritter today. Everything is fresh and delicious. Service at the counter is also very friendly too. Yummy donuts at a great price and great service? What's not to like?

    We stopped by twice at this donut place on our latest visit to Breck and it didn't disappoint. The donuts were fresh, soft, not too sweet and delicious. We ordered the Filled Long Johns with Bavarian, chocolate cake donuts, chocolate raised donuts, donut holes, blueberry twists, and meat pies. All were good but my favorite is the Bavarian-filled Long Johns! They also have decent breakfast meals on their menu which I tried before. The vibe was laid-back, perfect for a quick stop before a day in the mountains. The prices are reasonable. They have parking in front and at the back and they accept cash and credit cards with a minimum purchase of $10. Bonus: they offer a military discount, which is a nice touch for those who serve. Do come before 9 AM to get the more popular donuts. It's definitely worth checking out if you're in town!

    A cute traditional bakery/diner spot in Breckenridge! My family stopped in here for a late breakfast/brunch on our last day in Breck. You order at the counter and then find a table where your food is brought out to you. I ordered a maple cake donut, two scrambled eggs, and hash browns. The donut was great- it's hard to make a bad donut, the scrambled eggs were standard, and the hash browns were alright- I really like them on the crispier side so I should have asked for that. No complaints!

    Great donuts in Breck and the only place open at 6 am!
    Kevin E.

    great donut, coffee and breakfast spot in Breck! Opens at 6:00 am, which is good for those who are early risers and visiting from the east coast. Prices are reasonable and the vibe/decor is eclectic. Conveniently located downtown, within walking of all of the main restaurants and shops. Donuts are terrific but don't sleep on the other breakfast options including breakfast sammies and pancakes.

    Debra V.

    Arrived at 6, then at 8 am. Not busy on a Sunday, but filled up by 9. Ambiance is spectacular. Very eclectic. Coffee and donuts are average, but good. Full breakfast can be served or carried out. Now, line is out the door.

    My husband and I just stopped in at the Crown and it was wonderful! It just started snowing here…read moreand we were able to sit in the window seat to watch the snow fall outside. The inside of the restaurant has a really rustic feel to it, and they had some good indie tunes playing in the background, which made for good ambience. The service was very fast, and we had our food within 10 minutes. We both had one of the breakfast burritos, a mimosa, and split a chocolate croissant. All of the food was really delicious and you can tell that it was made in house. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone visiting!

    This place is so cute!! I can imagine on weekends or in the mornings that it is super packed out…read more They have comfortable seating and it's really small so I'm sure the lines get long We stopped in for a midday, pick me up around the time that they were closing. I saw affogato on the menu and since that is one of my favorite snacks, I had to try it. Not sure if it was the unsweetened espresso, but I didn't really like the flavor of that particular coffee and I felt like it was a little sloppy, they handed it to me with the coffee already poured over the ice cream, which if you know this dessert means those first few seconds and first couple of bites are the most precious when the hot coffee meets the cold ice cream, but hasn't fully cooled off yet itself. in the coffee itself is good quality & I'm sure I would come back and enjoy a latte again in the future!

    Take Away: Be careful who you hire as a server…read more Diners can quickly forgive a one-off, mishap in a respected restaurant when it's busy. When a clueless, loud, "sing-song-y" talkin' server is added to the misfortune, it becomes apparent how the atmosphere of the meal is as important, if not more important, than the meal itself. Blue Moose is a solid, unpretentious restaurant. The serving are generous and the staff creates a family experience. There is enough variety and a nod to GF and V ingredients for all to feel at home. The prices reflect quality ingredients but stay below Breckenridge's gourmet establishments. Skiers love this place for their hearty meals. Blue Moose knows their audience. We tend to do breakfast at home but they mirror the vibe we love about Breck so from time to time we stop by. We split our time between Breckenridge and an out of state home. My husband has worked ski season on the mountain for decades, full and part-time. I waited a week to post this but should mngmnt be wondering about how diners are experiencing the service... Labor Day Sunday, busy & chilly, we were the first to say "sure" to an outdoor table. I requested extra broccoli with the garden breakfast. When it arrived the biscuit was in a pool of hot water. I quickly tilted the plate by placing an upside down spoon on one side to drain the water away from the over-easy eggs and veggies. I understood what happened. The broccoli was over steamed to the point of yellowing stems. It was plated and in the minutes it took to walk it from kitchen to table, the water was dripping off the stems and pooling on the plate. My thought process: I dislike wasting food, I did not want to get a cook scolded - stuff happens, we are smack in the middle of the patio - I am loyal to Breck businesses so did not want to call attention to the mishap and have that discussion invade the other diners' experience. "Suck it up and see if I can get a fresh bisquit" I thought as I lovingly caressed two packs of orange marmalade - a true sign of distinguished breakfast service. As the minutes ticked by I was increasingly dismayed that the pool of water was turning yellow from my over easy egg yolks. The mess was hard to miss. Our server flitted by our table a few time and I saw her look directly at my watery plate twice. Once she asked if everything was fine and we sort of nodded and I quickly raised my hand and said "May I please (have a fresh bisquit) but she kept walking after I said please. I placed the brocolli into a food storage container I typically bring for leftovers when dining out, hoping the plate could be removed ASAP. I salvaged the egg whites and enjoyed the other veggies. Man, she could talk up a storm with the other diners but kept gliding past us. I sustained my dream of a fresh, warm biscuit slathered with orange marmalade. Our Server-in-denial continued to flit. Neither of us could catch her eye. When she finally brought over the check, I pointed to my plate. OK - this is where I forgot a rhetorical question is too subtle during a biscuit crisis. "How does this happen?" I quietly asked, hunching over the plate, pointing to the yolky water and wet flour ball. I just wanted the issue acknowledged so I could get a quiet, sympathetic "Oh, no!" and fresh biscuit to go. Instead, she explained loudly, loudly, the hydraulics of brocolli that has not been drained. I raised my hand slightly, mumbling "Please stop, I know how to cook." I have never met the owner(s) but I was thinking of them and the people who are making a living from the restaurant. I did not want others to hear this conversation. Our server seemed to want everyone, 5 feet beyond normal earshot, to know that my ordering extra brocolli is the reason my plate has a pool of water, though I don't think they wanted to know about it. I was afraid to ask for a fresh biscuit as that was sure to extend the conversation and there was no telling what was going to be said around that issue. She then rushed off came back loudly announcing to the dining circle around us that she was "giving" us a "local" discount and our bill was now $40.16. Golly, gosh. We did not expect to be identified as "locals" as we don't go there often. We did not want this to be an issue as we are "local" enough to want everyone to enjoy a Breck Breakfast. But when she reappeared announcing her valor in securing us a local discount, it was ridiculously self-serving and once again we were forced to be "on stage" with her. I will be back to get that fresh biscuit to-go. Full confession: being forced to be "on stage" I lost track of the fact that I never stopped clutching the 2 marmalade packets and they are now in our fridge. Sorry about that.
