I saw a lot of people raving about this place on TikTok. Honestly, it's just a small diner, the waitstaff is great, the food is fine and basic. Nothing to go crazy over. read more

This restaurant is conveniently located in downtown Aspen, where there's plenty of (paid) parking available nearby. We walked in and were seated immediately. Our server was attentive but not the best/most helpful. I ordered a coffee and she brought me tea initially, and I had to correct her order. Later, I asked if it was possible to sub out the country potatoes with my breakfast burrito order for something else and she was really confused by the question. I ended up not making any substitutions and just didn't eat the potatoes. The breakfast burrito wasn't mixed well and was just a bean paste with scrambled eggs inside. The food felt overpriced for what it was and I was pretty disappointed in the experience. read more

Poppycock's - Breakfast burrito - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Aspen, Colorado

This place has very sweet and attentive employees! Also has cute outdoor seating. The food was okay, nothing crazy fancy. We tried the banana Nutella crepe and the oatmeal pancakes. The crepe had quite a bit of whip cream on it. So very very sweet. Overall a safe option. The oatmeal pancakes were nothing to rave about. Weird texture and was not a fan. Also when ordering coffees there are up charges on everything including ice. read more

The food, service, and ambience were all fantastic. The services provided by the professional management and staff are the main reasons that we keep coming back. The old world elegance is a rare thing, and we value their focus to make sure that everything about the dining experience is excellent. I highly recomend Poppycock's! read more

We had our breakfast here a couple of days ago, sitting in the sidewalk outside the restaurant. Food was good. The check had a few added charges, including a 20% service charge plus 3% restaurant fees. Explaining that 3% restaurant fees is for added costs and does not include any tip, the credit card machine asked for additional tip, even though a 20% service charge was already included in the sub-total! read more

The macadamia pancakes were undercooked - raw on the inside. The decaf coffee has cinnamon in it for some reason. The breakfast potatoes were flavorless. Not the delicious Poppycock's from back in the day. read more

Best pancakes I've ever had in my life! The pistachio sausage was amazing too. Staff is great and overall it's such a great place to go after a hike. read more

Poppycock's - Oatmeal pancake pancakes - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Aspen, Colorado

extremely average breakfast with insane aspen prices. wish we'd found another spot or just stayed home.

This is a great spot for breakfast. The prices are reasonable and the food is amazing. We had the avocado eggs and the two eggs in style with sausage. Service was great as was the food. read more

Decent place to get breakfast in Aspen if you're not staying in a hotel and want pancakes after 10am. Everyone was nice and we were seated promptly. We were craving a classic breakfast before our flight home at 2 pm and this place and this meal was perfect. The food lacked flavor but nothing a bit of salt can't help especially when your order is simple. Don't expect too much going in and you won't be disappointed. I would visit again for sure. read more

Nice local spot if you are looking for a solid breakfast. Lots on the menu and the service is friendly and efficient. Prices are reasonable for Aspen. I went with the wheat blueberry pancakes. Very tasty. Enjoy! read more

Poppycock's - Blueberry pancakes - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Aspen, Colorado

It was elite and i loved it! Amazing people and great food! I will go soon again. Great place.

This is a local, very basic, diner essentially. The coffee wasn't great. The food was pretty neutral. The reason for 4 not 3 stars is the friendly staff, the menu variety, the portions and price, and the overall atmosphere. I really enjoyed eating here and would come back. I had the breakfast burrito, and apart from the potatoes needing some salt, it was solid home cooking. read more

Poppycock's looks like your average cafe, but this simple mom-and-pop place is where you will find the best pancakes in Aspen. Their specialties are the oatmeal pancakes and the corn griddle cakes. The oatmeal pancakes are pretty much a bowl of oatmeal turned into pancake form. That might not sound appetizing, but it is actually super delicious. The corn griddle cakes are served with pistachio sausages. Pistachio sausages might sound questionable, but they do not taste nutty at all and are also super delicious. The food portions are quite hearty, and the prices are pretty reasonable. Also, the staff, especially the owners, are super friendly and will let you in earlier than their opening time if they are ready to go. Poppycock's has a lot of stuff on their menu, but the pancakes are the must-try. The pancakes are super huge so plan on either sharing or having leftovers. If you want to bring the pancakes home with you, get a bag of pancake mix for $10 each. There are plenty of breakfast spots in Aspen, but Poppycock's is the most unique and also the friendliest. read more

I really liked Poppycocks. Food and service was good. Can't complain about the prices based on where you are. The oatmeal pancakes were excellent. read more

Poppycock's Oh Poppycock's, how I love your "Old Fashion Oatmeal Pancakes"; in fact, your pancake mix is what I brought home as souvenir gifts! Nothing fancy, a solid diner this is. Piping hot and always full was my coffee cup. Enjoyed delightful bites of crispy bacon & their signature pancakes! Arrive early for it gets crowded. Welcoming and friendly they are to dogs and young children. Eating out on their patio was the right choice! CHEERS! read more

It was ok.... The pancakes are good, the special- a croissant Sammie, wasn't- it was very very basic. If you're willing to give up a calm and un-rushed atmosphere, then this is your place. We felt very rushed, it was very loud and not worth the hype we heard about. However, Service was good. read more

Worst breakfast in Aspen. I ordered the huevos rancheros w the eggs over medium. When it came not only were the yolks fully runny - the whites weren't even all the way cooked. That is not over medium. Send them back - waitress was very nice - no prob. Owner brings out the replacement and at full volume states they have now cooked the eggs medium well? and asked me to check them on the spot. Implying that I don't know what an over medium egg is and I they had prepared the dish properly. Even cooked properly the food is bland and poorly done. Unbelievably bad - 0/10 read more

Blueberry pancakes are poor. Gritty, and the description of granola on top is inaccurate. It is mixed or maybe ground into the pancakes which are dense and heavy. Syrup on the table is pure corn syrup with a brown stain, and $4.25 for an undisclosed amount of maple syrup is just a rip off. They did take the pancakes off the table when I said I could not eat them, and I was unwilling to try anything else. Husband said the Manhattan Eggs (scrambled eggs with salmon) were acceptable, but nothing special. read more

THIS IS THE WORSE PLACE EVER. We got here and our food got very cold!! My pancakes and my husband eggs as well I told the Asian manager we didn't like our food and it was gross as well and he said "you can leave". He didn't try to find any solution! Please don't here Better option 100% it is PARADISE BAKERY read more

Really good breakfast spot. Friendly service. Had the lox and the bagel was quite soft. My wife had an egg scramble with smoked salmon, it was great! All other traditional breakfast items good too. read more

This place is one of the most reviewed breakfast spots in downtown Aspen, so of course I checked it out when I visited. It was poppin on a Sunday morning (pun kinda intended). We had to wait 15+ minutes for the first available table, which was in the front patio. Unfortunately, the food was mediocre at best. I got the hash with eggs and toast. I could've made it at home with canned hash and it would've tasted the same. Nothing special and pretty bland. Small portion as well. It was a uniform review across the board for my entire party - small portions and "meh" food. This is double bad since I feel their menu is pricey! I'd try somewhere else if I were to come back to town. read more

Poppycock's - Corned beef hash, eggs and toast - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Aspen, Colorado

Prices are 50% more than they should be for the quality of food and service. Basic American cafe food. Every item on the menu is $5-10 more than it should be. You're better off going somewhere else, paying the Aspen prices and getting your money's worth. read more

It was amazing for adults and kids. for the kids I strongly recommend the Nutella banana crape. The service was excellent. Also the restaurant was very well organized and designed. read more

The good. Service is really good. Staff was delightful when picking up the food. Our kiddo loved the pancake. Avocado eggs were good. The bad. The breakfast potatoes were really bad. No flavor, no seasoning. Breakfast sandwich was also little flavor and not great tasting. read more

Stopped here for brunch, we liked that it was a humble little cafe here in Aspen. As you know a lot are high class. The owner (I believe) was standing outside greeting people, very friendly gentleman. He was happy to help serve us alongside our server. I also noticed his wife talking to some older people. They may have been locals but the whole vibe was just humble and sweet. Love seeing that! Give this place a try! read more

Poppycock's - Eggs Benedict, iced latte, breakfast burrito - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Aspen, Colorado

YUM! What a delicious breakfast joint! They were definitely busy the Sunday morning we popped in, but the nice outdoor area, people watching and delicious food made it worth the wait. The service was great from the extremely friendly man seating everyone to the server at our table. Breakfast Burrito: As you'd expect it. Full of flavor and plenty to keep you full for most of the day. Eggs Benedict: My go-to and a classic. The hollandaise sauce was a perfect consistency and the eggs were poached just right. Macadamia Nut Pancake: We got this to share because where else will you find one?? LOADED with Macadamia nuts, this yummy flapjack will make you wonder why you haven't thought of it yet. read more

Very busy place, breakfast and service were really good. They turn their tables over very quickly. It's a family business with a good reputation. Crowded and noisy at peek hours. read more

Food and service both were great. The staff is very friendly. Best part is how fast you get your food and coffee! read more

A combination of disappointed and offended. $32 for pancakes and a can of Diet Coke, even by Aspen standards, is a bit much. Honestly, if the food was awesome, I would not care. But...it was below average (and we're just talking pancakes here). Very nice people working here. But, no wonder no one is ever inside this place. read more

Terrible food, atrocious service. Do not go even if it's the last place open on earth!

Typical breakfast diner. Wasn't horrible but we wish Aspen had more breakfast options.

It's a busy place in a great location. The scrambled eggs were fine, but not much to get excited about. The potatoes had no seasoning and weren't cooked all that well. My kids ordered the French toast and said it was good, but it looked pretty soggy. read more

Food needs more seasoning potatoes had no flavor had to dump half the chalula sauce just to get some flavor . Would not recommend it.

Real butter. Half-n-half. Tall mug of hot chocolate with whipped cream. Tea setup with honey. Parisian cafe style seating (on the sidewalk, marble top tables set close together) Relatively low prices. A sunny Sunday morning. What's not to love? All that BEFORE our food even arrived. Poppycock's appears to be family-owned-and-operated breakfast/brunch cafe that serves diner type dishes. Dad is the host. Various sons, daughters and cousins run the yummy food in and out -- staples like crepes, omelets, pancakes, waffles, French toasts, eggs Benedict, fortified smoothies, bagels and lox. Indoor and outdoor seating accommodate families with dogs. They also have soups, sandwiches and salads on their menu for the lunch crowd. In a town where high prices are the rule it's nice to find a breakfast/lunch spot with more normal price points. Our Belgian waffle topped with fresh fruit and the Avocado Eggs were delicious. No complaints. Two lovely poached eggs sat on English muffin covered in house salsa and surrounded by avocado slices next to potato chunks. Waffle had crispy exterior and paired nicely with the banana, strawberries and blue berries. Real maple syrup would've been nice, but the pancake syrup was fine. read more

Amazing waitresses that are very nice but they could do much better on the food. I ordered a strawberry crepe expecting cream and filling. What I got was cold sliced strawberry's on regular wrap with powdered sugar galore. This made my stomach hurt and all I even ate was the strawberry's. Go spend you money somewhere else. read more

Two friends and I came to Poppycock for breakfast before skiing and when I walked in, I realized I'd been here before! It was even better than last time. The interior of Poppycock is not fancy, but the food and service are both great and efficient. My group ordered the oatmeal pancakes to share, and they were delectable. We also separately ordered the corned beef hash, which was VERY heavy: there's no shortage of food and be ready to feel this on the slopes if you go skiing right after eating. There are no bells and whistles at poppycock, but it's a comfortable breakfast with a diner-feel, and the food is reliably delicious. Will come back again next time I'm in Aspen! read more

Poppycock's - Oatmeal pancakes - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Aspen, Colorado

Basic food at Aspen prices. Nothing to write home about but at least it exists. Found it odd that the breakfast sandwich was served on toast. read more

Just OK. Tried the macadamia nut oatmeal pancakes that I would not recommend if you like fluffy pancakes. Mocha latte was just okay as well.

Very nice service, they had a wide variety of food and dinner delicious drinks. The outside dining experience was practically perfect, and the inside looked very cozy. I got the breakfast burrito with egg whites, and for a guy who doesn't like eggs a lot, I thought it was delicious. The owner was very kind too, about two days later I needed change for parking, and while the other stores refused, he happily obliged. All in all, I would go here if you had kids, family, friends, or really anyone coming by. read more
