My husband and I were looking for a down to earth, ma and pa type of breakfast. Low and behold we found the perfect spot tucked away. Our waitress was kind enough to give us a samples of their delicious gravy and house made green chili. We were instantly sold! I chose the Lucky Lucy Biscuits & gravy dish and he went with a huge chorizo burrito smothered in gravy and green chili! Service was excellent, prices were great and our food came out right away! Happy to say we found our new breakfast destination and we will definitely be back! read more

For those that value consistency in the food you love and order. I love the gravy and sausage with cheddar cheese omelet. The gravy is really awesome in my opinion. read more

Basic diner type restaurant. The service was very good snd they made an effort to interact with the customers. Got the smothered breakfast burrito and it was just ok in my opinion. They will split the burrito onto two plates so that is a nice touch. The coffee is very basic. The blue plate special sounded like a good value for the money. Parking is hard because it is a narrow small alleyway and also the side road construction going on. They do have a fish fry on Friday's so that is an option too. read more

Food is good and prices are excellent. Service is good but definitely feels a bit rushed on a Sunday morning. Make sure to get there before 8am to grab a table on a Sunday; it's a small-ish place and fills up quickly. read more

Delicious breakfast food. Our coffee cups never stayed empty long. Our food came out quickly and was huge portions. Loved the small cafe atmosphere. It assured us that the kitchen was going to get the food out in a timely manner. read more

Biscuits and Gravy are top notch. The best I have had in all of Colorado. Don't tell my mother-in-law but they may even be better than her family recipe. read more

By the way if you like big portions for regular prices. They got you covered. They still have a blue plate special! A real slice of Americana. read more

Old fashioned diner with excellent old-fashioned excellent food and service. Went for breakfast.

Great little gem. Excellent gem with no fuss, just great food in a pleasant welcoming environment! The BLT with an over hard egg was exactly how my Gram would make it and the waffle was perfection! Will definitely be back on next visit up this way! read more

"Hidden" is right--you're going to have to hunt for this place, but it's worth the effort. Good food, reasonable prices, friendly service. The menu is simple but what they do, they do quite well. Don't bother with the chain places--find the Hidden Cafe. read more

Excellent plate at a reasonable price, very local diner with a casual feel. Service was attentive but not pushy or intrusive. I had the Mexican scramble, which was the right size and the right flavors and the weight amount of heat on their house green chili. Highly recommend! read more

Yhe food was delicious and the coffee was even great! I had the breakfast sandwich and my wife had the biscuits and gravy.

Great little Cafe in Longmont. Old school type place and food is good. Service was attentive but not over bearing.

Chili Relleno & eggs! Y'all, their green chili is the BEST around town!!! The staff is super amazingly friendly. I have eaten here two days in a row now because it's so good. I highly recommend the made from scratch biscuits and made from scratch gravy. Haven't tried yet but they keep telling me to come in on Friday and try the clam chowder! read more

I am a big fan of homey, one off diners and this place fits that bill! My daughter and I went in on a Saturday morning and had to wait a few minutes for a table so we knew it must be good. We got simple breakfasts. Homemade cinnamon roll was amazing. My daughter loved the "pancake cereal" - so genius! Prices were reasonable and the coffee was great. This definitely had a homey feel - servers knew most of the clientele by first name, Grandma was working the register... very small town, like you'd gone back in time. Lovely vibe. My daughter and I were only here for the weekend and she begged to go back to eat again. She said she couldn't believe there's only one Hidden Cafe in the whole world and the rest of the world has to miss out. read more

The first morning in Longmont, CO (a Monday morning), I stopped in at the Hidden Cafe for breakfast. I ordered their scramble - which is "Mexicanified" - topped with a salsa/gravy or sorts. It was really good! It was served with a side of potatoes and a flour tortilla - which I did not touch as I am trying to reduce carbs. Several locals were hanging out, eating breakfast and drinking coffee. Service was good. #HiddenCafe read more

Great food! A well kept secret in Longmont. It's our number one go to for breakfast

This place is truly a mom and pop place with fresh homemade favorites at reasonable prices. The food is always fast, hot, and great!

My wife and I were visiting from out of town and needed breakfast. We tried another place first but the wait was too long, so we found the Hidden Cafe next. What a great find! It's not fancy, but the food was very good. The staff was friendly and the cafe has a fun, family owned business atmosphere, literally - I heard the servers call the maitre d' mom or grandma multiple times! My wife and I are both on keto, and they were very helpful and willing to substitute the toast and potatoes for cottage cheese and a tomato. We both ordered a build your own 3-egg omelette. It hit the spot for both of us and fueled us for our long drive home. Thanks for a great breakfast! read more

Awesome mom and pop/ greasy spoon type diner. Food and service were great. Prices and portions are a great value. Our family of 4 ate for just under $50! read more

I became ill with food poisoning have eaten here - think I saw a cockroach scurry by as well - a disgusting hole in the wall crap hole.

Nice omelet, fresh fruit and good coffee. Obviously a place for locals, very social. Coffee and service were great.

Really can't complain, solid greasy spoon diner. Nice waitstaff and solid diner food.

Perfect diner! Great prices and innovative dishes. I would recommend the 1/2 and 1/2 with green chili and gravy.

We make sure we go to Hidden Cafe at least once per week. We love the food and homey atmosphere. I would recommend it to everyone and I do:) read more

This place is a 5. Perfect breakfast place. Very attentive staff and the food was excellent. I had tamales and eggs with chili sauce. Filling and affordable. A true gem for a great breakfast read more

Looking for some fantastic local flavor this is it! While the menu is diverse and has many healthy options on it everyone in the place was ordering the chicken fried steak with 1/2 green chili and 1/2 white gravy so I gave in and tried it. Oh my goodness this was amazing. It came with two eggs, a biscuit and potatoes. This was more than I could eat but I ate every bit of the Chicken Fried Steak. This will be one of my go to places anytime I am in Longmont. read more

The service is amazing, it's family operated, the food hits every time, it's open nice and early, overall I absolutely love it!

I've eaten here before and it was delicious. The other day I was in the area and there wasn't a public restroom around. They let me use their bathroom and were a LIFESAVER. Thank you! read more

this is such a Longmont hidden gem didn't get any good pictures because I was starving today, but I have a bunless cheddar bacon burger with a side of green chili and it was to die for! you can tell everything is fresh and homemade. waitresses are friendly and it's a really sweet family environment. highly recommend! read more

I can summarize the negative reviews about this place this way: "I don't read yelp reviews BEFORE I go to a restaurant to find out what kind of food they have. Instead, I expect that when *I* show up, they should have anticipated my dietary restrictions and been ready for ME." Or: "Ohmigod! it's, like, totally a greasy spoon!!" Folks, understand before you come that this place isn't about gluten free, low fat Greek yogurt or soy lattes - it's about eggs, meat and potatoes. This was my first visit here and I did my homework before I came. I found the service fast and friendly, and the food delicious. I had the scram mix and it was awesome! The place is unpretentious, with a parking lot full of pickup trucks because farmers, oilfield hands and truckers always seem to know where the good food is. Set your expectations accordingly, and don't hold the restaurant accountable for your lack of research and dietary restrictions." It's good, down-home comfort food. Thatisall. read more

Hidden Cafe - a plate of breakfast food and a cup of coffee - Diners Near Me - Longmont, Colorado

I had no idea this café was here, and I've lived in Longmont for 20+ years now. I'm so glad I found it! Very quick and polite servers. The food was fantastic!! So much better than pretty much any other café/breakfast place I've been to in a long while. The café is cozy and they have a bunch of cute signs and art on the wall. It feels like a great, local restaurant with a hometown feel and 5-star food quality! Absolutely love it here! read more

I had a late breakfast on a weekday with my girlfriend. The seating area is about a dozen tables, and there was a healthy number of locals present. The food was good, and the help was friendly enough. Strains of Todd Rundgren eminated from the kitchen, barely audible. I had a traditional american breakfast off the menu, my girlfriend ordered a breakfast burrito and applied lots of hot sauce from a collection of over a dozen types that were brought to the table. We were both satisfied. Potion size was adequate, but not huge. I gave this restaurant 3 stars because the dining area was dingy, a bit depressing, and the upholstery was ripped up in places. In my opinion this has some effect on the eating experience, although not that much. Your mileage will vary on this point, of course. read more

Never had a bad experience. It's a hole in the wall, diamond in the rough of Longmont. Service is always immaculate. Grandma and grandpa put everything into this place. Will always support this business and their delicious food. read more

I highly recommend doing their specialty half and half sauce. Expect high quality diner food - eggs, biscuits, gravy, burritos, and such. There were so many yummy things on the menu, it was hard to pick something! In addition to the menu, there are specials on the chalk board. The prices are great, portions are HUGE, and the service is super friendly. read more

First time at this place. Not the best location Food and service was great! Coffee was good and so was the food. Breakfast burrito very tasty and so was the cinnamon rolls. Get there early if you want a cinnamon roll. They go quick! read more

Decided to go in for a late breakfast this morning. The service was great. All of the staff were sweet and personable. Blueberry pancakes were a taste sensation. My over easy egg was cooked to perfection and the breakfast links were very yummy. My husband had an omelet and home fries and all were cooked perfectly. Overall the food seems fresh and made with care. A little chilly if you get a table by the door on a cold day. The place was packed on a Monday at 10:30 so plan for a wait time if you show up at primetime. read more

4 of 5 for a local greasy spoon. The prices are great, the food was pretty good, and the service was attentive and friendly. I will be returning. read more
