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.

If you are type of person that likes cafe's. You better go here ASAP! The food was awesome. Service was unbelievable. I've lived in the area my entire life. I had no idea it was there. Guess that's why the name fits. Biscuits and gravy were awesome. Tried the green chili on my eggs! The eggs were huge! Awesomeness is what that place is! 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.

Chili Relleno & eggs! Y'all, their green chili is the best around town!!!

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!

Down home country cooking with a funky ambiance. I had the Lindy Deluxe (ginormous biscuit, fried potatoes, bacon, green chili & 2 eggs.) come hungry and bring the kids! They loved the Mickey pancakes.

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

Is the chicken fried steak hand battered on the premises or is it from Sisko?

The Roost - Thai pork tacos

When we first came in on a Sunday afternoon around 3, the place was totally empty. Despite that,…read morethey said we could only sit at the bar or on the rooftop. I was a little irritated, as it was slightly breezy, but I got over that quick once I tried the food. We had the steak frites, the Thai pork tacos, an old fashioned, and the chocolate decadence for dessert. The steak frites were great- the truffle fries were seasoned with garlic, and served with a great cream sauce. The steak was perfectly cooked rare. Super tender. But the tacos absolutely stole the show. Sweet and spicy with a touch of crunch, and the potato fries were stellar too! The old fashioned really let the whiskey shine, with just a touch of citrus. I think I would try a different dessert though- the decadence was good but didn't quite live up to the tacos. The interior was decorated very cute- mid century modern mixed with plants and some neon signs that said cute things. Our server was excellent- very friendly and on top of it. Overall, I would unquestionably come back next time I am in the area, and suggest you go there too. It's totally worth it.

Food is meh. Service…read moreis awful. Waitress brought water. No refills. Luckily we got our food but how on Earth I was able to choke down this bland food with nothing to drink!? I'm sure one of the crackheads walking and down main street would have given me better service. And 4 bucks to upgrade to fries!?!? What is going on at this place? Highly recommend do not come here. It's a rip off. Service is awful. Terrible attitude. No service, no tip.

Love there is a vegan option. The Vegan is colourful, lots of variety. Love mushrooms, crispy…read morepotatoes and tempeh and a couple of flavourful sauces. Would have liked a bit less oil in the dish. For me, more oil does not mean more flavor; it means more slime. Was having a LOVELY quiet little lunch for one, in the restaurant which was slowing down to close. 85% of the tables were empty. The host made the choice to sit two people on a "let's get to know each other" work date, at the table right next to me. PLENTY of empty tables in the joint. One table over would have been amazing. My relaxing lunch was over as I had no interest in being in the middle of their "let me tell you about my childhood" conversation. Slow Thursday. . . Not a Saturday or Sunday when all tables are jumping.

The ambience is cute. A lot of breakfast spots have a similar aesthetic these days and this was in…read moreline with that, but it was still inviting and clean. The food was beautiful. My mom ordered the bacon and avocado Benedict. It looked great and she enjoyed it. I ordered the Tangerine Combo with the pear French toast. It sounded amazing on the menu and was very pretty when it arrived, but unfortunately it wasn't my favorite. The bacon and home fries were overcooked, and both the home fries and eggs were bland. The French toast itself was okay and served warm-ish, but what really threw it off was the pear sauce. It was cold, very cold. I understand food safety considerations, but the cold sauce brought the entire dish down in temperature. It made the toast cold, and the cinnamon butter on the side couldn't melt even if I could add it-not really sure how I would have added it with the sauce. I had expected something more like warm, caramelized pears rather than a pear version of apple sauce. To be fair, the menu description wasn't very detailed, and I didn't ask clarifying questions. I made an assumption about how it would be served, so I take ownership of that. I ended up just eating half of it, as I'm not someone who typically sends food back or makes a fuss having worked in the industry myself before. The part that really impacted our experience was the service at the end. My mom noticed I wasn't thrilled with my dish and quietly tried to share feedback with the waitress. We weren't asking for anything to be comped or replaced. She simply wanted to pass along the feedback. Unfortunately, the waitress repeatedly interrupted her and seemed more focused on fixing a "problem" than listening. My mom couldn't get even a few words in. The waitress was very defensive and I'd say a little aggressive in her communication. When my mom softly suggested she calm down because she wouldn't let her speak, the waitress responded loudly, "Did you just tell me to calm down?" We paid and left shortly after. It was disappointing because the atmosphere was pleasant and my mom enjoyed her meal. I may have been more understanding if the restaurant was busy, but there were fewer than six tables occupied and several servers on the floor preparing for the morning rush that would start in a few hours. Overall, it just wasn't the best start to our day. In the end we just left feeling embarrassed and confused at how things ended up.
