Definitely a fun little restaurant! We were able to make a reservation for my family of 11! We were seated promptly :) everyone loved their food! The lemon blueberry pancakes were a seasonal option and omg sooo glad I got them! Soooo delicious and moist. The consensus amongst everyone was that the potatoes (I forgot exactly what kind of breakfast potatoes) they were sliced circles with amazing seasoning was sooooo goood! The kids breakfast were pretty large! Which is great especially if you have kids with big appetites. If you have toddlers - I suggest maybe sharing one kids meal if they don't eat much. Service was pretty good too. Will visit again once I come back from SoCal read more

5 X 2=10 . First time to visit MVC..we had reservations for 8 but at the last minute needed 9 which was no problem ..we were seated exactly at the scheduled time ...Nikki our wait gal was sincerely warm, thoughtful, efficient 'Spot on Perfect'! Always smiling Nikki, as every wait-gal was, in spite of the eatery being people 'jammed', very noisy w/somewhat tight quarters made out family feel welcome. The menu is overwhelming w/choices but each entrée chosen received GREAT reviews esp from 3 serious foodies. It was truly a family Sunday yum day celebrating a birthday. YES, we would return. read more

Solid! Came here for breakfast on New Year's Day and the place was packed. The staff was still friendly and efficient. A great variety of breakfast items. We had the strawberry stuffed French toast and a loaded skillet dealyo. Both were recommended by our server. Maybe not the best French toast I've ever had, but still quite good. Can't remember what my kiddos had. Full coffee bar menu as well. Lunch and dinner served here too. Cute place, with a ton of seating. A spacious patio area as well if the weather is nice. We'll be back I'm certain of it. read more

They do everything about breakfast right! Everything was cooked to perfection and tasted delicious. Hearty portions. Friendly service. This is a classic no frills old style café. A converted house. Definitely not a hipster place. Pro tip: if you're looking for a good meal without a huge crowd come during the week! read more

Great little brunch tucked away in Black Forest! We got there before 9am - which was the move!! - it got super busy after that. Service was fantastic and our server was so nice! We got the cinnamon roll to start. It's a must have here! It's decadent, gooey, and delicious but not overly sweet which is key. I had the Mountain View breakfast with chocolate chip pancakes, bacon and fruit. Lots of bacon, lots of chocolate chips. Delicious breakfast! Would definitely recommend! read more

Tucked away in Black Forest you'll find the cutest cafe with breakfast choices a plenty. We arrived at 10 and the place was packed. We were quoted a 30 minute wait and the quote was pretty spot on. Once seated, the service was friendly and not rushed. I was worried since the place was so busy, but you're made to feel welcomed and to enjoy at your own pace. The food was amazing. I ordered the chicken cor don blue skillet and was sooo happy with my order. I also ordered a chai latte that was so cozy and delicious. My husband ordered a latte and the chipotle skillet, which he throughly enjoyed also. Definitely recommend if you're ever in the area. read more

This place was some of the best breakfast I have had in the Springs area! We got there right at 7 and it stated filling up at 7:30am. This place is pretty big with a bar seating area, main room and two rooms off each side as well as an outdoor patio for summer. The options for food are endless, they are gluten free friendly as well which is huge. The French toast and country fried steak with the potatoes are delicious. Our server was Tiffany and she was very energetic, attentive, and provided excellent service to our table. 10/10 would recommend for breakfast, haven't had the chance to try lunch but I bet that's pretty good too!! read more

Great place for lunch, but the breakfast looked amazing. The place is bigger than I thought, which was good, since they were packed. The service was excellent. I ate at the counter and had several people help with my order and follow up! Thank you! read more

Oh my goodness. Soooo delicious! Kati was my server, and although she was covering many tables, she provided great service to all! And always with a smile. After reading reviews online, I ordered the avocado toast, which is no ordinary avocado toast. The melding of flavors was so fabulous that I wanted to end my breakfast with a bite, but I also had a short stick of pancakes, and they were so delicious that I also wanted to end with a bite of that sweetness. I added bacon to the avocado toast, and it was perfect. Originally, I ordered the jalapeños on the side, but I ended up using all but a few. Although I am visiting from Atlanta, I will definitely be back! Highly highly recommend. And the prices are great. read more

Super cute place but the food is very meh for me. Coffee arrived lukewarm, which I attribute to the business being so busy. My breakfast quesadilla was undercooked as was our cinnamon roll. I know this place is so popular but the food was not for me. read more

Came in on a Sunday morning before the rush (7:30am) and the restaurant was ready for customers and orders! I felt very cozy inside and the staff greeted us as we walked into the establishment. There is a variety of food choices from breakfast to lunch but at the moment I was feeling like breakfast food. I ordered the biscuits and gravy which was phenomenal and seasoned to perfection. The biscuits were definitely made from scratch and ever so soft and succulent! The sausage gravy mixed very well with the biscuits and did not overpower the taste. Service was outstanding even as it started to get packed around 7:45 - 8:00 AM! All staff were very attentive to all tables and assisted the waitresses. My glass of water and Diet Coke was never empty or even close to it while we were there. I would definitely recommend coming and dining in this fine establishment but just make sure you come early as this place gets packed quick! read more

I regret driving by this place for so many times to and from work. An amazing menu all over the board which I love! It's a cute little spot. It's brunch hours but I love the fact from what I read is that they do dinner hours sometimes, I like that! The food was great. I was in full breakfast mode but like the little twist, so I chose the Chicken Cordon Blue Skillet. The Moms joined and she went with the traditional Benedict. We both went with the seasoned potatoes AMAZING! We scoped out the plates whizzing by and can't wait to try something else. read more

Cute little breakfast and lunch spot a little off the beaten path in the Black Forest area of Colorado Springs. Service was outstanding, friendly, quick and efficient. The food was amazing. I had the Crab Benedict and it was delicious. The husband had the Mountain Harvest Omelette and it did not disappoint. It was a little chilly the day we went, but they also have a nice sized outdoor seating area. Check it out if you're in the area. read more

Service reasonable, as expected. Food excellent. They have increased the "Friendly" feeling in a pretty plain facility

This place is the BEST BREAKFAST joint for miles!!! I haven't tried anything on their menu that wasn't AMAZING! The chilaquiles, the eggs Benedict, pancakes, French toast, cinnamon roll, Mountain View breakfast. The employees are friendly and welcoming. I don't want to tell you how wonderful it is, because I want to keep it all to myself. read more

This has been a favorite of ours for some time ever since they took over the old location and built it into something even more amazing. Great food, small town feel in service and never disappoints. Come enjoy everything they have to offer! read more

I love to support local businesses and try new breakfast and brunch places ... Mountain View Cafe in the Black Forest in Colorado Springs is one to check out. Mountain View Cafe has a variety of breakfast and lunch options to select from. It's a quaint restaurant with four dining areas: the main floor, the back area, which you can access via indoor ramp or short stairs, a bar-top area, and outdoor dining. Staff were friendly and kept the mugs flowing with hot coffee. The food came out fresh and fairly quickly. There were a good steady amount of customers who came in to dine on a Tuesday morning. The side of pork green chili was refreshing and not too spicy; a great add on to top your eggs. The chicken cordon bleu egg skillet was delicious. Great choice for those who want a protein packed breakfast. They Chicken was grilled. Eggs over medium were cooked to perfection. The hollandaise sauce wasn't too overpowering. I substituted the Swiss cheese for cheddar. Hashbrowns were light and crispy. The strawberry French toast was light and fluffy. The strawberries were fresh and the strawberry drizzle was not too sweet. Added sides of a delicious piece of ham and scrambled eggs for $4 complimented this entree. Green Chilaquiles with fried eggs and avocado slices. Nice flavor profile overall, however, the chips absorbed the green chili sauce, the chilaquiles were more on the soggy side (from a texture standpoint). I'm not sure I'd order this again. It needed a side of fresh pico de gallo to go along with it, and not side of "jarred" pace salsa. The sour cream could have been a little more than the small dollop it came with. A few extras: They offer a military discount. They have an ample Outdoor dining area; and on a beautiful, warm, sunny Colorado day, it would be amiss not to sit Al fresco. Handicap and wheelchair accessible with three dedicated reserved handicap parking spaces. We'll be back!! read more

I have eaten here several times and there isn't a better place around that has good food, friendly and accommodating service, and a place where I don't feel guilty bringing my toddler. Sure, it's a little loud, but it's a mixed crowd. Plenty of seating zones. I've had the breakfast quesadillas, a biscuit and gravy seasonal meal, a veggie omelet (sorry I can't recall the name) and no matter what I order, it's great. This place has amazing staff and no matter how busy it gets (the most I've ever had to wait was 30 mins on Father's Day), they seem to keep up pretty well. read more

First time trying this restaurant and here is my review. My wife called ahead about 20 min to get on the wait list. She told the young lady on the phone it was gonna be for 2 adults and a baby in a stroller so 3 all together. We arrived shortly after and walked in with my son in his stroller and checked in. They said there was still a wait so they took our number and we waited outside. About 30 min later we got a text saying our table was ready. When we went back in to be seated the young lady at the front looked confused when we told her the name for our party and went over to talk to another older lady there. Both came over and the older lady with an attitude says " Next time you need to make a reservation for 3." My wife responded with we did over the phone and came inside to check in way before our table was ready. We understand that they were busy and mistakes are made but the attitude and the gossiping to all the other staff about us made our experience very uncomfortable. But we still stayed and enjoyed some good food and coffee. Most of the staff were very kind, and the food came out super quick with little wait time after we were sat. Hopefully our experience will be better next time if we decide to try it out again. read more

A little gem in the middle of a beautiful area! Wow- just wow! Everything from the comfy atmosphere to the amazing breakfast potatoes with seasoning, to the way they cook their eggs to perfection wowed me this morning. The service was friendly and speedy. We were approached right away for our order and never had to wait for our coffee. I'll definitely be retuning soon. read more

I can't believe I haven't reviewed this place yet--I've been here multiple times already and it is our go-to spot whenever we want a good breakfast or when friends/family are in town. There's amply parking, but it can get pretty crowded quickly on the weekends, especially during the breakfast/brunch hours. It's a cute quaint spot that screams mom and pop--so I highly recommend supporting this local business. Also kid-friendly! If you get there around 7:30/8am, you'll get the older crowd that's up at 'em early! The food is always delicious and with good portions. They offer gluten free toast and gluten free french toast too. I usually get the Earth Skillet which is super tasty, well seasoned, and well-balanced with veggies, starches, and meat. This time I got an omelet with ham, sausage, and cheese. It came with an english muffin and hash browns--all so yummy! My boyfriend ordered the egg benedict and said it was really good as well. If you order coffee, they come around and refill your cup often. The wait staff are very attentive! I ordered a side of gluten-free french toast which was a bit dry, but honestly, I'm not very surprised because 1) gluten free bread is inherently a little more crumby and 2) to make good french toast requires time to soak the bread for a while. Regardless, it was topped with berries and when drenched in maple syrup, it was decent. We came here another time for lunch and I really enjoyed their salad too. All in all, highly recommend this spot. We love it and go there all the time. read more
