White people tacos
Joe B.

I feel for you small town folks if this is the best you have in grand junction. Inedible horrible breakfast. Like legitimately the worst breakfast I've ever been served. If Mexicans knew you were serving tacos that taste like they're filled with water instead of the potato and egg you put in there they'd hop in the kitchen and make you some real food. Green chilli?? Water in a bowl. Hoooowww do you make everything taste like water?!?! Go ANYWHERE but here. A gas station has more nourishing food

Maverick Bene

First time here. The Food was amazing! From the Maverick Bene to the Malibu Chicken sandwich. You have to partake in a cinnamon roll. One of the best ever! I can't wait to try the blueberry muffin pancakes and the banana bread French toast. Thank you for a great breakfast to hit the road on!

I stopped here for breakfast on a trip to Grand Junction and really enjoyed my experience! The interior cute and the vibe reminds me of the Snooze chain in Denver. The servers were lovely and friendly. There is a variety of morning cocktails, including mimosas, bloody marys and spiked coffee. I tried the strawberry mimosa which was really delicious and a sizable drink. My partner got the cinnamon roll french toast (not pictured) and it was delicious! I would definitely recommend getting this. We also were kind enough to have gotten a cinnamon roll on the house, so we were able to compare the two. Both were respectively food but I say the French toast is the way to go! I ordered the white water breakfast wrap, which was good, but I thought it could've used more seasoning or a dipper on the side- like salsa. There was ample seating inside and outdoor seating out front. Dream cafe offers vegetarian, vegan, non-dairy, and gluten free accommodations. this is a good spot to come with a friend or a bigger group. I would definitely come back here on another trip!

Breakfast time. But let's start with some coffee.

Ordered the French toast and when it came out, it tasted like onion. I told the server and she said oh sorry we must've used the same pan to make an omelette no refund no offer for anything nope.

skin on salmon Bennie

As a long-time restaurant owner, I was excited to try the Dream. The place was busy and a bit noisy. The cinnamon roll was good. My husband's Mavric Bennie was good. My salmon Bennie should have been good, but there was disgusting skin left on half of the salmon. There was also an upcharge on the already high prices, .75 per egg, so $1.50 per meal. The Dream had this printed on the menu, not an added sticker. This makes no sense. Put the real price on the menu. When I asked the hostess, she rudely responded, "Read the menu." The server noticed the large piece of salmon with skin on it pushed to the side, but chose not to ask about it.

The cinnamon roll was amazing. Definitely give it a try and you can share it.

We went in on a Saturday, we had a party of 11 we had to wait a few minutes when they set up for us. We tried their cinnamon roll and we split it amongst the table. It was so good. Loved the caramel sauce. For breakfast a lot of us shared plates because the servings were so big. Dream Café is very clean and loved the modern look. The house plate was amazing as was the avocado Benedict. When we tried to go back on Sunday, we were pressed for time so couldn't wait the 15 minutes, but definitely would go back again.

Banana bread French toast

Solid breakfast spot with some tasty options and wonderful service. We passed by on a Sunday during what appeared to be their rush hour (10-11am) there where lots of folks waiting but the wait was totally reasonable at like 20 minutes or so. This spot was definitely the busiest out of all the nearby options. The food was delicious. They do not have an espresso machine tho so no cappuccino or lattes, only regular coffee (there is a coffee shop right next door though if u are picky). Staff was friendly and attentive and I would certainly come here often if I lived near by.

If you're looking for a great breakfast spot in Grand Junction, this is your place. My husband and I shared: - AM Burrito - Cinnamon Roll French Toast The burrito was very good, but the cinnamon roll french toast was the star of the show. It was one of the best french toasts I've ever had. Make sure to ask for the caramel and icing along with the syrup. They come with the cinnamon roll, but for some reason the french toast comes with less sauce options. There isn't dedicated parking, but we were able to find a spot on the street after some searching. We got there a bit after noon on a Sunday and there was no wait. I'd definitely come back because there were more things I wanted to try.

Friendly staff with reasonable prices. There are both indoor and outdoor seating, but outdoor seating is very popular. The food is good quality, but not spectacular. However, can't beat the price and location, plus service.

Mimosa menu

Great eats at this breakfast spot in Grand Junction. Very generous portions! I went here with my boyfriend and grandpa while we were in town visiting. Everyone enjoyed their meals. No long wait to get in, despite being a breakfast spot on a Sunday. And friendly service. The only thing that would elevate the experience is if they had a coffee bar where guests could order lattes, cappuccinos, etc. If you're looking for some solid eats in downtown Grand Junction, you won't be disappointed here! Just stop at a coffee shop on your way in if you're someone like me that lies having a tasty caffeinated drink to go with their meal!

My wife and I ate lunch at Dream Cafe in historic downtown Grand Junction on Main St. I ordered the Cinnamon Roll French Toast with eggs, bacon, and hash browns. My wife ordered the Dream Cobb Salad. Food and service were outstanding. The atmosphere was welcoming and hip. We would return!

Stopped in while on a road trip. Bummed I'll only be able to visit while passing through…read more Breakfast is varied and great, I ordered a burrito, chicken and waffles, and biscuits and gravy and they were all delicious. Favorite food truck I've ever been to.

Look I grew up on the McDonalds Sausauge Egg Biscuit and the McMuffin family so when I got wind…read morethat there was a POPPIN biscuit food truck spot in the town that I was working temporarily in, it was a no brainer to go try. Like the many reviews state, this food truck is located at Mesa Mall right in front of the Dicks Sporting Good. I mean once youre at Mesa Mall and you're panicking you can't find it, just give it the mall a good ole round-a-bout you'll find it trust. Enough about logistics and my biscuit history, lets talk Alarado. The biscuits. Whatever you get, you have to try it with the biscuit. Personally went with the sausage, egg & cheese breakfast sandwich with pepper jack and the BISCUIT ofc. There's something surreal about eating a delicious biscuit breakfast sandwich at 7:00 am in the morning when its raining outside. I'm surprised I even got a photo of it before demolishing it. Now underrated co-start is the breakfast burrito. Because my back is big, I also got a chorizo breakfast burrito with green chili. Goodness gracious, that one also was a banger seriously. Biscuit sandwich or burritos are definitely the move I'd say here. Go get your biscuit on.

This used to be one of our favorite local breakfast spots, but it's really gone downhill. Service…read moreis minimalist by design, ambiance and decor are nice but dark & dreary during the winter months due to the lighting. I could mention several criticisms of recent managerial decisions, but I'll just limit it to one. The "American Breakfast" has disappeared, replaced by an a la carte ordering model. I assume this reflects price creep and the reality that the market will not support a $20 counter-service breakfast (especially one that prompts for pre-tipping) when a comparable $12 option is available across the street at a full-service restaurant. Combined with long wait times and lukewarm food, caused by either amateurs in the kitchen or lackadaisical food delivery by the counter-staff, Cafe Sol has regretfully moved to my "occasionally OK" list.

It's Veterans Day. Just ordered a Fiesta grain bowl with fried chicken and I need to unload some…read morethoughts. The chicken was seasoned with some sort of magic, firstly. The greens added a little kick, the onions perfectly sliced; almost paper thin. The green chiles cut into little morsels add that Smokey bit we crave when we think of fiesta style foods. There were bits of queso fresco crumbled over the whole thing, giving that tang. Even the brown rice was treated with the utmost respect and has the most amazing flavor and hearty texture! Lastly, I'm sure someone back there made that citrus crema from scratch and I basically licked that little ramekin clean! Thank you, thank you! A stop anyone in Junction will not regret!

Roots Gastrohub - Bison cheese sandwich

Roots Gastrohub is officially on my list now…read more I first stopped in for breakfast and tried the bison burrito with Rowdy Red salsa, green chilis , and mushrooms because I love me some shrooms. They are straight-up skilled at breakfast burritos. The eggs were cooked perfect -- just enough runny yolk magic -- and yes, I'll always pick runny yolk. I also grabbed Tyler a bacon burrito, which of course I had to "quality control" sample . Tasty too. You really can't go wrong either way. Then after hearing all the comments about their burgers, I had to swing back by downtown Grand Junction at 4th & Colorado . I went with the Tailwhip Bison flat-grilled burger and added jalapeños because, let's be honest, jalapeños make just about everything better. The burger did not disappoint -- great flavor, and the added egg was top notch. The spicy tots were also on point -- crispy, hot, and the perfect side Shout-out to Matt as well. Super nice and great customer service Breakfast burritos and burgers? Yep, Roots is definitely worth the stop. And I've also had their grilled cheese sandwiches... straight-up home runs too Just my opinion -- no feelings harmed in this burrito-and-burger review.

This is such a cute place for coffee, breakfast, and lunch!…read moreWe got breakfast burritos with bison and grilled onions added, and shared a Cuban coffee. The burritos were huge! I was extremely stuffed after finishing mine, but it was so delicious that I kept on eating until it was all gone. The ingredients were all high quality, even down to the tortilla. I love that bison steak is an option to be added, and it was not tough. I chose the tomatillo salsa option and it was really yummy. The Cuban coffee was more of a brown sugar latte, not really a true Cuban coffee (my fiancé's family is Cuban and we've had plenty of real Cuban coffee in Miami) but it was still delicious nonetheless. The service was extremely friendly and also quite fast. The person working the counter to take orders was also bringing our food and drinks out. The ambiance was really chill and I love how much seating there is on the patio. I appreciated the shade at the large picnic table. It was an overall really lovely experience eating here.
