    Crepes
    Hannah M.

    The food was great. A good, classic menu with something for everyone. The service was amazing, the atmosphere was great, and the it was well priced! I couldn't have asked for anything more. We went early on a Sunday (around 8:30) and had no wait.

    Don't be foolish and go anywhere else for breakfast! We stopped in on a busy Sunday and the place was packed. We were able to get a seat right away and the service was super quick! We were seated on the balcony upstairs and will warn you that the tables are quite close together. The menu was pretty extensive with several veggies options. I ordered the veggie bagel with potatoes and it was awesome! The portion was no joke and perfect fuel for our hike afterwards. Additionally, I loved the art on the walls + in the bathroom, gives you something to talk about if you run out of conversation! The waitress gave us a 15% off coupon at the end of the meal which if we lived in Boulder would have definitely used. Overall, definitely recommend stopping into to this brunch spot.

    The service was very good the workers were attentive and brought out food out very nice. It seems like a good place for pictures because it reminds me of a hole in the wall place. The crepe was not good as it was very soupy and made our stomachs hurt after. The potatoes were kind of hard and the eggs Benedict were not as good. Other than that everything else was great!

    Foolish Craig's Cafe is an outstanding breakfast & brunch spot on Pearl Street in Boulder. They were *packed* and rightfully so. The service was fast & friendly, particularly considering how busy they were. The atmosphere is Boulder hip, this is a fun spot and worth the wait (if there is one.)

    Corned Beef Hash
    Alex L.

    A decent Boulder brunch spot. It was pretty busy on a Sunday brunch time and we were seated upstairs. The place is like a classic diner style brunch place. Tried the corned beef hash (kinda plain and dry) and chicken and waffles (felt like frozen tenders and standard waffle mix) and it was alright, nothing that great.

    Chorizo Benedict with Cheesy Grits

    The place is a little small, especially when you walk in. Tables are close together in the front of the restaurant a little roomier past the host/hostess section. We got seated in the front part right by the window in the far corner. We went here because it was featured on Tripple D Nation. I asked my husband how his Chorizo Benedict w/Cheesy Grits (as seen on Tripple D Nation) was and he said enthusiastically "It was good"! My son had the same thing as my husband, but with potatoes, and he enjoyed it as well. My daughter-in-law had the Breast O Pesto Crepe. She said it was good and had a lot of chicken in it. She did say however, that the pesto tasted like Costco pesto. I had the Corned Beef Hash (as seen on Tripple D Nation). It was so good. Chunks of tasty, tender Corned Beef mixed with peppers, onions and Home Potatoes. It was one of the best I have ever had. My over medium eggs were cooked perfectly! This place is definitely worth visiting!

    The Café is the cutest mom and pops type place. Inside has low lighting easy going vibes. The place has been around a while and it shows. They weren't mentioned on Guy Fieri "Diners Drive-in's & Dives" for not making a name for themselves. The service was excellent, we were very indecisive and the server was very patient with us. We dined on the patio, the weather was perfect. I ordered the crepe and they nailed it. The portion was gigantic but I smashed it. My friend got the biscuits and gravy and was pleased as well. We added an order of French fries... because why not. They were a 10. Price was very reasonable especially considering portions. Highly recommend.

    Late breakfast today on a sunny patio at Foolish C! We shared corned beef hash, eggs with cheesy grits, toast, bacon and pancakes! Yes it was a feast for two but with a leftover for snack later on! The coffee was steaming, the patio inviting and the delightful service (by Karson B - senior CU student - Go Buffs!) The food was delicious but the corned beef hash was the standout! Our dogs was also invited, given water and included in the fun! if you haven't been to F.Craig's in a while you will love the roadside patio setting!

    Nice neighborhood brunch spot. They have all the usual brunch items like omelettes, eggs and bacon, pancakes, and waffles. Did you have an interesting crepe menu as well. We went for the fried chicken Benedict. It was pretty tasty, The chicken is the same as the chicken tenders they use I believe. For some reason I assumed it was a juicier fried chicken. We also went with a crepe that we didn't love the crepe skin, but it was well cooked and overall tasty and very filling. I couldn't complain about the portion size of it. Our server was very nice, checked in several times, and seated us in a booth on request.

    $-$$ A bright and airy, yet small and cozy eatery on Pearl Street in Boulder, Colorado. The staff is very friendly and attentive, and the food is served hot. There were a couple of snafus during my order, but my server was amazing and made the corrections quickly. As I sat here updating quite a few of my yelp reviews, my server came by just to make sure everything was OK and then said that I could stay in my little corner here as long as I wanted. The noise level is minimal, and you can hold a conversation quite easily, even though there are many people and quite a few tables. There is outdoor seating as well. All in all, a great visit to this place and I'm so glad I found it. Surrounded by chain establishments that also serve breakfast, I'm super glad that I walked into this one. As always, make some great memories and safe travels.

    Breakfast Burrito
    Samantha J.

    While this place was incredibly packed on Sunday morning, the food was just okay. I didn't get the hype. Perhaps I ordered wrong, but their breakfast burrito was on the list of house favorites. The menu described the burrito as smothered in pork chile verde, but I had about 2 shreds of pork. I don't feel it lived up to the description. The inside was dry, nothing to write home about. Maybe I needed to be hungover?

    Bunch of Hooey. Hard scrambled eggs are actually hard scrambled eggs!!! Delicious
    Susan G.

    Food: pasture raised meats and dairy + farm fresh vegetables + house made breads and tortillas = an amazing breakfast experience every time. Plus, their pork green chili is heavenly. Service: literally every person here is wonderful and amiable. Riley, the bartender, is fantastic and super helpful with ordering or drink recommendations. Ambiance: old school Boulder semi hippy and semi cabin vibe. Good music and smells with a great bar. Bonuses: Coca Cola shop; reasonable prices for pasture raised items; local shop run by a local team.

    What a groovy place, came up to see my dad for Christmas Eve and we all decided to stop in here because my uncle had heard such good things about it. The food was delicious, the wait staff was great, I really loved the atmosphere. I am definitely hitting these guys up again the next time I'm in Boulder.

    Fantastic food. I had the Foolish Craig crepes which contained an obscene amount of bacon. They make a great Irish coffee.

    Super cute little cafe with delicious breakfast! Definitely a smaller place but I enjoy intimate…read morebreakfast spots. They had amazing drinks and the server had great recommendations on their menu for what we were feeling. Was more food than I could handle in one go but there's nothing better than a filling breakfast before a long morning walk. There are some nice park paths nearby with great views of the mountains and valley. Highly recommend this place!

    Overall: Food is excellent in terms of quality and flavors. I keep coming back for brunch…read more Food: Rich and all dishes I've tried so far are solid whether it's the Buddha bowl, avo toast, burrito, burger, shakshuka, jam sandwich, pancakes, French toast, chai doughnut holes or huevos. I mean, seriously, how do they make the food so good across the board?! Drinks: It is a cafe and good cafe drinks they have whether it's a matcha, chai latte, mocha, latte, or orange juice. Service: Excellent. They check in without being annoying even when it's super busy. The staff I've encountered notice nonverbal details when you need something. Space: Limited seats, so it can get packed with a wait. Indoor and outdoor options. Outdoors can be nice in the morning during summers under the umbrella - otherwise, can get really hot in sunny spots by afternoon. Cost: $$. Not cheap but not expensive. You do get what you pay for as the food is really tasty.
