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

These folks are really not into customer care or providing a nice experience. Food is mediocre at best. You can tell by the quality and amount served that this place is all about food cost and not about making customers happy. Service is more about the technical aspects of the job than hospitality. I felt like I was asking my server to give me her first born when asking for a refill of coffee. This server reminded me of a car stuck in the mud. The wheels are spinning fast but going nowhere. I find it interesting how places like Aspen can be so mediocre. Give me a home town diner any day over this place. Meaning...this place a a lot of room to improve. Yikes! read more

I understand the restaurants are a for profit business however, when you order a latte and the charge is $6.50, plus an additional $1.00 for Oat Milk, but, an additional $1.00 for ICE ??? This is what I call GREED and GOUGING! Then an additional 5% if you use a credit card ??!! read more

It's ok, for the price, you can make this at home cheaper lol it's just American breakfast style foods.

We were sad. Last day in Aspen and meal was overpriced and came out cold. Bacon was undercooked and more fat than bacon and ham slice had a funny taste. read more

Oatmeal pancakes were as yummy as advertised. The avocado eggs were ok but I wouldn't get them again. The pistachio sausage was a good side. Other than the pancakes (for $13), this is just a breakfast spot. Not sure the fuss. read more

Service was good food was so so. I got the huevos rancheros and they weren't that amazing read more

Time was about 08:00hrs. Yes, I was seated promptly right after I entered this establishment. YES, they have a High Stool Seat Areas right up front of this establishment on the Left Wing. Since I am alone, the lovely staff ushered me to one of the seats/table which are empty a couple step down at the "Lower" Level of this establishment. From the Simple Menu, I opt and orrdered the following items : * Coffee ($2.50) * Orange Juice ($3.65) * Macadamia Oatmeal Pancakes ($10.50) * Add Mix Fruits on top of the Pancakes ($2.85) Overall is ok, the service was good. All in all decent establishment with HUGE portions. The Macadamia Oatmeal Pancakes comes with 3 HUGE Layers. In terms of flavor it was just OK. Perhaps it can be over-whelming for some. TAKE NOTE Number 1, if you want REAL MAPLE SYRUP, YES they have it but definitely additional cost added to your Breakfast/Brunch options. TAKE NOTE Number 2, as I was checking their website, nothing showed up, just the Oatmeal ordering what nots. From the conversations I had with one of the servers, the Owner is out of town and she will inform them. It seems that this establishment is a REGULAR Heaven, coz the servers tend to know everyone and always strike conversations with the Regulars what nots. If you are into Oatmeal, by all means order those.. But if you are NOT, then just passed it. I guess there are better "affordable" Breakfast/Lunch eatery for me to explore in the future. YES this establishment tends to get busy with other patrons alike. This recent visit was on Friday December 12th 2014. Left this establishment about 09:00hrs. If I am NOT mistaken, the lovely server that morning, who took my order, her name is Narelda. Check 1037 Tbl 16/1 Poppycock's 665 East Cooper Aspen, CO 81611 Tel : (970)-920-1000 @241/2014 read more

Despite the fact that our oatmeal pancakes were light and flavorful once we put pure maple syrup on them, we were surprised and disappointed to find out that the ounce of maple syrup cost an extra$4.00 and because my friend and I shared the 3 large pancakes we were charged an extra $2.00 for the use of an extra plate. The manager and the owner were both rude throughout the discussion of these fees and so I recommend that everyone find a nicer, more reasonable place for a meal. The rudeness of the staff was disgraceful. read more

Comfortable dining area, large menu to choose from and very good customer service. A gentleman who I assume to be either the owner or a general manager was extremely welcoming, offering to take photos of me and my husband unprompted as well as the staff checking on us. Didn't have to wait long for our food either. My crepe was awesome, I'm used to most restaurants skimping on fruit whether they are high or low end, but they put so many fresh strawberries in it that I had enough for every bite. Affordably priced as well! read more

I would have rated this place a 4 stars if it wasn't for two factors. The first was the service! It was terrible, our waitress took our orders and never came to check on us until finally she came with a check that we didn't ask for given we wanted to order another dish. This means we never got our coffee refilled. Also my glass of water had lipstick on it. I asked her (when she brought the check) if she wouldn't mind getting me a new glass with water and no ice. She disappeared again and never showed up with the glass until I embarrassed her in front of her co worker by asking if she can help us out. I was a bit calm given that I knew if I got a bad service I would provide a bad tip. This is where the story make sense, they actually add an 18% tip for any group! (We were group of two) This explains why she didn't care about providing a good service. The second reason is for being shady. They add the 18% "service charge" and then ask you for a tip when you want to sign the bill! I guarantee you that many tourist won't realize that there was a service charge and would tip (a second tip) because this place is shady. We ordered the eggs spinach and the avocado eggs. Both were good but nothing special. The oats pancakes went really well with the syrup and we really liked that. Overall I would avoid this place because of lack of service and and lack of work ethics. read more

I believe they are only offering outdoor seating at the moment, but everyone was so sweet and attentive! I loved the pancakes; the oatmeal base wasn't as heavy as a normal pancake which I enjoyed! read more

Yum! After reading many people ordering the corned beef hash, I decided to give it a try. It's really fresh and delicious! The sourdough toast came out perfectly toasted and I love the fact that they don't grease up your toast with butter. They offer small containers of butter at the table in case you don't want dry toast. We came here on a Sunday morning and this place was packed! The amazing thing was that we didn't wait that long! We might have waited 10 mins tops. Even more amazing was that after we all ordered our food the food came really quick but still freshly made and hot. This place does not serve alcohol, so no mimosa nor bloody mary with your breakfast. Took away 1 star because the price is slightly higher than the place we ate the day before at the Hickory House and the portion is healthy but slightly less as well. Also, the place is really small so it's hard to get in and out of my seat to go use the restroom. I had to really watch myself when I took my jacket off so I didn't hit anyone. We ordered the corned beef hash plate, the manhattan salmon bagel, the breakfast burrito and huevos rancheros. I loved every bite of my corned beef hash. The manhattan salmon bagel plate was super delicious, and probably has the most amount for the money. The breakfast burrito was delicious and so was their green chili... but the portion is a bit small for breakfast burritos I have seen. The huevos ranchero I didn't get to try but my friend enjoyed it a lot. I will definitely come back and visit if I were to be in town again, really delicious stuff! read more

What a delightful morning we had on the front patio of Poppycock's in Aspen! It was 70 and perfect, surrounded by lovely potted flowers and trees. I enjoyed a great cup of coffee. Then I ordered an Egg Sandwich, made with an ample serving of scrambled eggs, cheddar cheese, and crisp bacon on wheat toast. It was accompanied by a generous serving of fresh fruit...blueberries, strawberries and bananas. Leisurely, casual, and lovely, on the sidewalk in the middle of beautiful downtown Aspen...so nice! I shall return! read more

Great breakfast and staff was very nice; My only drawback would be the decor could use a bit of sprucing up. Other than perfect quick breakfast diner read more

Poppycock's - Build your own omlette with white toast and country potatoes - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Aspen, Colorado

This establishment was recommended by our hotel front desk at St Regis..... I was told it just won the Best of Aspen recently, so we went there this morning.... boy, the oatmeal buttermilk pancake (we added blueberry) was sooooo good that I almost forgot to take a photo. My hubby eat the waffle with fresh fruit.... he said that was good too. Their deco on the walls has large photos of aspen.... one was so whimsical that a skier wanted to go skiing so bad that he rode is bicycle in the snowstorm. I for sure recommend this place. He young Asian man greeted us, check with us, and recommended more attraction to visit in Aspen. Thank you poppycock! You ROCK!!!! read more

Very cute diner! Lovely, friendly staff. I assume the older couple are the owners, they are so cute and feel like your grandparents! Is the food exceptional? No. But service is amazing. They knew what we needed before we had to ask, e.g. refilling coffees, extra plates for the littles. I'm giving this place 5* because of the service, and because it's the most reasonably priced place in Aspen. The food is average but I'd rather pay a reasonable price for average food than pay 3x the amount for just the same average food else where. read more

Honestly pretty mediocre. I tried the breakfast burrito and its nothing special. It basically fulfills the basic requirements for being a breakfast burrito and goes no further. Maybe their pancakes and crepes are better but i don't see myself rushing back here read more

Such a friendly and welcoming place to walk to breakfast in Aspen. Prices are reasonable considering the location and food is classic diner breakfast ready quickly with attentive service. read more

Ordered the corned beef hash with a side of pancakes from poppycocks. The corned beef hash was ok. It was on the mushy side. The eggs on top of the corned beef was oK. The pancakes were very good. The best part of the meal was the almond latte. Very good! I believe it was a special. read more

Get there early! Ordered the macadamia nut pancakes (I've had better-over rated) and western omelet (the omelet was spot on). Sat at the coffee bar and our server, Loraine was extremely busy but friendly and very efficient at doing her job and treating her customers with a ton of respect. read more

The oatmeal pancakes are an absolute must! They are warm and gooey in the middle and taste so comforting with a little butter and syrup. I wish they offered a smaller stack or add ons like eggs and bacon so this could be your meal but still get some protein. If this review was solely on the pancakes, it'd get 5 stars. However, overall this place is just okay. Coffee and omelet were okay. Service was fine. Staff was very friendly. If you get stuck near the door, it's very cold in the winter. This place got pretty packed shortly after opening. read more

I made a Yelp account to review this place. My friends and I went for breakfast to this restaurant. The food quality was subpar- potatoes tasted unseasoned and raw, pancakes were bland and the avacodo was not ripe. Not worth the price charged. The major issue was with an order of pancakes- we ordered the oatmeal pancakes and the server brought the buttermilk pancakes. We corrected the issue and the server eventually got us the correct pancakes. When the bill came, both pancakes were on the bill. Instead of just correcting this issue, the owner was notified and he came over. He then argued with both us and the server about the mixup. Then very loudly kept telling the server she was going to have to pay for the mistake- in front of us! We couldn't believe how unprofessional this was. Regardless of who mixed up, the poor server was very upset and then angry at us for her boss being an absolute jerk. 0/10 do not even try. The service along with the food isn't worth the very expensive overpriced food. If you are a server looking for work... DONT WORK FOR THIS GUY. There are several reviews that are similar to this because of this guy. read more

Great! So cute and great service! I loved the pancakes and coffee. Great location and is very hidden which allows it to not be too crowded. Highly recommend. read more

Food (4.5/5): This review is only for the Spinach Eggs ($11). Damn, if spinach always tastes like it does at Poppycock's, I would be so much healthier (except for the fact it's creamed spinach... but we'll ignore that haaa). It's this heavenly warm creamed spinach with the cheddar cheese giving it a nice savory flavor that hides any hint of a spinach taste. The English muffins were fluffy enough that it was easy to cut right through it with a knife. The country potatoes were okay - good seasoning but I wasn't totally wowed because they were not too hot, thus the 4.5 rating. I'd probably suggest trying their other side options like the fresh fruit. Service (3/5): This is standard wait service. We were seated right away on a weekday lunch time but the major downside was that the server was slow to refill our water. Otherwise, nothing that really blew me away about service. Atmosphere (4/5): Poppycock's is a cute local diner with a down-to-earth ambiance, serving as a reprieve from the posh feel of Aspen. Entrées were all reasonably priced ($10-$15), and the seating is table seating typically for parties up to 4 people. Overall, Poppycock's was a good brunch experience. The Spinach Eggs were great though service was somewhat subpar with the slow water refills. Otherwise, I'd be happy to come again the next time we hit the slopes! read more

Service was pretty slow no one really wanted to seat me and the potatoes tasted old and spoiled. And what the hell is a kitchen fee?

Went there for breakfast on a Saturday, def not impressed. The huevos ranchero was pretty bland.... If you're feeding a family of six on a budget this might be a good choice, otherwise there are better choices. read more

No thrills, great food, great service and inexpensive for Aspen. We called in advance (luckily), got seated within minutes. Greeted nicely, service was great, very friendly. We order the breakfast burrito and macadamia pancakes. Sooo good!! Especially the pancakes. read more

Completely highway robbery. Prices were so expensive. Service was horrible. Would not recommend.

It's a good spot to grab a quick, filling breakfast. Nothing too fancy about this place, but the people are nice. The glass of orange juice is pricey even though it's not freshly squeezed. And they do charge an extra $1.50 if you use AMEX, which I found to be interesting given the fact that it is indeed Aspen. Bring your cash or Visa and enjoy fast service and decent food. read more

This place is a hidden gem! We were in Aspen of the Food and Wine Festival (yes, you need to buy more food because the meager portions they give you at the fest are not enough). We wanted to start our day off with our belly full. Then hit the wines and forget all the appetizer sized, food at the fest. Our hotel was charging $32 for breakfast (2 eggs, toast, potatoes) and we decided to go into town to see if we could get something with a fair price. Poppycock's was it! We both enjoyed eggs Benedict with potatoes $19.50 a plate. What a bargain! They don't have alcohol, which is a bummer but we were going to the fest and didn't worry about it too much. They are busy so service was a bit slow, but the food was worth it and the server was amazing. It was pretty quiet considering how busy they were. It's a nice sized cafe. The bathrooms were clean and overall a very nice place. Check it out! read more

Terrible food, not at all worth the price. Old microwave bacon and raw pancakes. When I told the server the pancakes were not cooked she said they were just really moist . My husband ordered the huevos blandcheros and they were awful. Cold canned beans, flavorless and undercooked potatoes with a side of wilted lettuce. Oh and $4 for a side of fake "maple syrup". Lol read more

Bottom line go spend your money and find another place in Aspen for breakfast and lunch. My wife wanted to return an order of lousy waffles and the owner not only refused to take it off the bill but threatened to call the police if I didn't pay. This for a $10 dollar order. After coming here for 20 years plus they won't see my face or any of my family or friends going forward. read more
