We were greeted by a great hostess with an excellent sense of humor. They were able to accommodate our party of 7 at a round table that still had plenty of elbow room for all of us. Our server, Michelle, greeted us right away and provided recommendations on their coffee and drinks. She was energetic and fun - we loved her genuine interaction with us! The food came fairly quickly considering they were nearly full. I chose the cinnamon roll French toast (chef's kiss!!) and hubby had the basic breakfast. We shared our meals so we could each have something sweet and savory. My niece had the Heartland Skillet and said it was to die for! I don't think there was much on the menu where you could go wrong. And bonus - they offer a breakfast cocktail for 99 cents with an entree order. You can get up to 3. This is an excellent choice for brunch (service and food!) and we will return next time we are in Boulder!

It was busy when we walked in and all the tables were full and then we were offered outside seating which we didn't know they offered. They have three tables outside and it was nice in the sun. The menu has a nice selection of typical breakfast options. They also have burgers as I saw one walk by on its way to another table. Service was good even though we were outside. Chicken fried steak - 8/10 - this was one of the better ones that I have had. The hash brown potatoes were crispy and delicious and the sunny side up eggs were cooked perfectly . Oatmeal - 6/10 - hard to have amazing oatmeal, it was fine Pancakes - 7.5/10 - these were light and airy, yummy, and huge (they were the size of the plate) This is a great place to frequent.

I keep coming back for brunch…read more Food: Rich and all dishes I've tried so far are solid whether it's the Buddha bowl, avo toast, burrito, burger, shakshuka, jam sandwich, pancakes, French toast, chai doughnut holes or huevos. I mean, seriously, how do they make the food so good across the board?! Drinks: It is a cafe and good cafe drinks they have whether it's a matcha, chai latte, mocha, latte, or orange juice. Service: Excellent. They check in without being annoying even when it's super busy. The staff I've encountered notice nonverbal details when you need something. Space: Limited seats, so it can get packed with a wait. Indoor and outdoor options. Outdoors can be nice in the morning during summers under the umbrella - otherwise, can get really hot in sunny spots by afternoon. Cost: $$. Not cheap but not expensive. You do get what you pay for as the food is really tasty.

If you're having trouble choosing I would recommend that gumbo. I'm not sure if it was the rainy day or circumstances but a bite of that gumbo felt like a warm hug. The interior was cute too, like a house. There was an upstairs waiting area with AC which im assuming is used during the summer wait time.
