Stopped by for breakfast on our roadtrip through and would highly recommend this place! All of the waitresses working breakfast were kind and made sure we weren't forgotten and were taken care of even though we were at a table way in the corner! The food was absolutely amazing and I left extremely satisfied. Plus the vibe in this place is super welcoming and everyone had a smile on their face, workers and customers alike. 10/10 read more

Pippo's Cafe - The Hungry Man and a 2 egg plate! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Cortez, Colorado

I ordered the hamburger and hubby got the eggs with French toast. I forgot to tell them I wanted my burger medium rare and it arrived well done. Sadly, it was dry and tasteless, even with condiments. The fries were okay--needed salt. My husband barely touched his food and wasn't wowed! The place is small but was packed with regulars and the service was acceptable from entering to leaving. It's a small town diner in a small town. read more

Best breakfast in Cortez I love the bacon and eggs with sourdough toast. Friendly and prompt service with great coffee read more

Upon walking in we were greeted enthusiastically and immediately felt welcomed. We had the huevos rancheros and coffee. I joked that I needed a BIG coffee and was rewarded with an extra large cup of coffee. The food was incredible but the highlight was the servers. They were funny, always there to refill and just plain pleasant. They made my day. Thank you ladies! I'll be back if I'm visit Cortez again. read more

Pippo's is a local wonder! Smack in the middle of Main Street. You'll see motorcycles, and RV around. Nice little patio. Just like a diner! Food is fresh, fast, and fabulous! The service is first rate and quick. read more

Quant little hole in the wall diner. The ladies were super nice. The special 2 eggs, 2 pancakes and 2 pieces of bacon were very good. My husband had the biscuits and gravy. No leftovers! read more

Food was decent. Basic diner. I ordered the turkey melt. There were definitely balanced portions. Although our waiter was nice I'm disappointed at the service. We came at 1:00pm. There were only two tables occupied and one other occupied with the staffs children. Two of us ordered soda that came flat. Our waiter notified us the carbonation was being fixed and she would bring out different ones. That never happened. We requested mayo 4 times and each time she said okay and left. We never got it. Two of us shared with the other two of our parties drinks. At the end after she took our empty plates she asked if we wanted iced tea to go. Which was nice afterthought but defeated the whole dining experience. We moved to the area and are in search of a go to lunch spot. We will keep trying. This will be a pass for us. read more

I can't say enough about how wonderful our experience was at Pippo's Cafe. The restaurant is located right on Main Street with plenty of parking available on the side street. Employees greeted us upon arrival and were seated immediately. Their menu is full of breakfast and lunch choices that don't disappoint. I ordered the Navaho Taco, which was the best that I ever eaten. I highly recommend stopping and eating here. We will be back. read more

Sweet little cafe in downtown Cortez with an adorable history! Founded by a local family in the 1950's, this place has been a part of Cortez history for many years! The breakfast was great and fast! This is definitely a local watering hole for those "in the know". read more

Tired from a long trip & hotel breakfasts we found Pippos. What a joy to have hot authentic grits, biscuits & gravy and BEST of all eggs cooked perfectly! The 2 waitresses bent over backwards and served us perfectly every minute we were there. I would give this a 10+ rating if possible and would move to Cortez just for breakfast! read more

Loved everything about this place. The food, the people and the old school vibe made this the perfect breakfast stop on Cortez.

Love this place!! Friendly service, delicious food. Hometown atmosphere. My favorite is the hungry man.

My viewpoint. As long as the place is clean, the food is decent and the servers are polite I'll give it a 4. Pippo's is a small Cafe in what was probably a resident' at one time. Has limited Counter space, several tables inside and has patio seating outside. Frequented by locals. My experience is mostly with breakfast. It is a good decent breakfast. If it's crowded the waiting time expands. They cook the orders as they're put up. Definitely a go. read more

While spending the night in Cortez,, the waitress at Mi Mexico recommended Pippos for breakfast...a few other contenders were closed, but she said this was a safe bet . Seated outside under a comfortable canopy, we ordered a green chili onelette, French toast, huevos ranchos, 2 breakfast sandwiches for our family of 5. Everyone was happy with the food quality- and the green chili omelette was pretty intriguing- but the only complaint, albeit from 3 teenage boys, was that they walked away ready to eat more. But coffee was good,, and service was great.Total $62 for everyone plus tip. I'd agree that Pippos was a good choice, and the fact that it was packed indoors makes me think that denizens of Cortez agree. read more

Good breakfast place with excellent service. Standard fare in a small old style diner setting.

Small town friendly place to eat. Traditional breakfast food. Amazing customer service.

Great food, friendly service. Tasty country fried steak and good coffee. Biscuit was on the fluffy side instead of flaky. read more

See all

Corned beef hash browns were cooked to perfection with crispy bits & identifiable shreds of corned beef. Unfortunately they were out of country fried steak, but we'll be back. Service was terrific with unending coffee & smiles. Ambience was everything you'd want from a friendly country diner. read more

We were referred by a local I asked on where to eat breakfast other than Denny's which looked crowded on Sunday morning. We were greeted and seated immediately and service could not have been better. Every question I asked was answered positively and substitutions were granted with a smile. Food came quickly and was hot & delicious and exactly as requested. The prices were reasonable and my experience could not have been better. I wish I was a local who could eat here more often. Owner should be proud of the staff and you will not regret eating at this old diner. Outside seating is also available. Don't judge a book by its cover. read more

home cooking but better!! service was from a born and raised cortez girl with a big smile best breakfast in town!! but very small

Your standard greasy spoon diner, perfect for our roadtrip. They have patio seating which is great for the weather right now. We sat down around 845a and were out by 10a - 35 minutes was waiting for the food to come out which is why it gets 4 stars. Breakfast sandwich is what I expected and filling. Cheese is Kraft singles which isn't for everyone but was still tasty. read more

Stopped here on a Sunday morning on our way back to New Mexico. Definitely a locals place, as another reviewer put it. It has that old diner feel. We chose to eat inside at the counter and had a great breakfast. The servers were friendly and efficient. I'd certainly go back. I take it from another review that dogs aren't allowed on the patio. Frankly that's just fine with me. read more

Classic Main Street diner with a friendly staff and tasty food. Denny's does not need your money. Support a local business instead!

Such a quaint little stop for an amazing g breakfast! The food was top notch as was the service.

Very cute place and very nice food! It was a great stop for us on our way from Telluride, CO. We enjoyed everything!

My husband and I were really impressed by this little café. We stopped in for breakfast and I had The Pippo's omelette and my husband had the veggie lovers omelette. I chose hashbrowns and biscuit and gravy to go with mine and he chose grits and a pancake with blueberries on top for his sides. All of these sides were included with our omelette. We also both ordered coffee, regular for him and decaf for me. We felt that everything was above average and the service was also very good. We do recommend this place and will return again the next time we are in the area. read more

What a great place for a breakfast meal. The good was served fast, the taste was great and the atmosphere was really enjoyable too!
