We live in Thornton and decided we had enough of take out. Heard Tangerine offered pods where you could still "dine in" in so to speak, so we decided to try it out. There was no wait on a Saturday morning although we would've been more than willing to wait if needed to have a pod. Food was great and the parking lot the pods were near was not busy, so it turned out to be a pretty nice morning. I tried the veggie eggs Benedict and they were great! We will be back! read more

We were looking forward to breakfast here. We ordered the blueberry ricotta pancakes. They were delicious with a rare swirl of ricotta on top and the most amazing blueberry jam. The smoked salmon Benedict was a little bit less interesting. They used hot smoked very salty salmon that they fried on the grill. It feels like it wanted lox. Personally, I would not get that dish again. But all in all it was a good experience. My decaf cappuccino was excellent read more

I used to love this place. Last visit was beyond mediocre. Yes, the service was bad but that was the least of it. Pancakes came out cold and dry, egg hash had too much acidic tomato sauce and unbalanced, also not hot, and staff seemed overwhelmed on a weekday at 9 am. I love having a neighborhood place but things need to improve. read more

Food and service was good, but they charge you a hidden "kitchen fee" that seems to be totally arbitrary. The menu on the bottom has some tiny fine text that says "we will charge some % as a kitchen fee", but there's 0 mention of what that % is. Strikes me as incredibly scummy business practice, and I won't be returning. If you're going to bump the entire menu by 4%, just bake it into the prices itself. When I sit down and I see a price, I expect to pay that price. Not that plus a hidden arbitrary "kitchen fee". It's a restaurant - a kitchen fee is simply the cost of your business - not something in addition to screw your customers out of 4%. Terrible scummy business practice, be better and stop with the false advertising, I can't believe this is even legal to be honest. read more

Can't wait to come in and try the new outdoor tent pods. Their food is always amazing, and so far during quarantine I have only ordered takeout from them. That being said, the takeout was packaged perfectly were nothing got soggy and the food was so warm and delicious. It was as good as it's ever been pre-Covid. Their hot chocolate is amazing, and I love their pancakes. Can't wait to come in and try the new seating. read more

2 stars, no more, no less. Decided to come here because of my friend's recommendation, not because the service was great but the food she raved about. Also the ease of parking your vehicle in Boulder, we gave this place a try. Within the first 10 mins I already know this was going to be less than 3-star experience. Pro - -Parking is easy. -Chai with a hint of citrus. -Our waiter was nice. -Pretty decor. Con - -Food took 45 mins to come after ordering, this is not on a weekend and not a full house. -Cold potatoes on the plate. -Steak was underdone. -Our waiter charged our bill incorrectly. -The food was not worth the price. This place is overall poorly managed. The waiter we had was nice and friendly but the kitchen took almost an hour to get our food out. Unfortunately in this case, kitchen counts as service as well. It sucked! When asked when our food is out, all he could say was, 'soon.' I ordered the steak and eggs. First of all, where is my 'effing' steak? I don't want 5 small slices of flank-looking things, I want a STEAK. I ordered to have it cooked to medium and it came out more like rare, not even medium rare. It took my food 45 mins to come out I don't want to have to send it back and wait another 45 mins. It was not very well seasoned either, it tasted like they just barely cooked the outside without any seasoning. The polenta was piping hot, but the potatoes were not even luke warm. Really? I can do a better job than that and I'm not professionally trained. I have too many other places to eat at in Boulder for great breakfast/brunch option, I doubt I would ever come back for food. I do really enjoy their chai with soy milk. They grate tangerine/orange peels and cook it with their homemade chai, I will probably come back to pick one of those up... that's too bad Tangerine. I heard so many bad service stories from here that I was going to give you the benefit of the doubt. I was being too generous. read more

Tangerine Restaurant - Steak and Eggs 12/30/2011 - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Boulder, Colorado

Food is great, service amazing! Too bad company too cheap to pay kitchen help and puts their salaries onto customers!

I had The Vegan, a substantial breakfast. It has quite few ingredients, each making a contribution in flavor and nutrition. It had tempeh, a great mildly nutty uncarved block for flavorings, in this case, flavored with caponata ingredients. The dish also included sautéed spinach, potatoes, pintos and both a red romesco and a green pesto, along with some fresh arugula. The turmeric latte is brilliant. Another Yelp review drew me here and enabled me to know about a turmeric latte! I'm not set up at home to steam milk, so I hope this idea spreads to a place near me! I would not say that the meal I ordered falls onto the light and raw realm, always welcome. But it has healthy ingredients hewing to traditional heavy restaurant breakfast fare. This location is not downtown, which means parking in their lot is easy. The restaurant opens early. It seems popular at breakfast for business meetings, laptopping and get togethers between friends. The staff was excellent, asking about the customer experience and interactive with eaters in a professional way. Thanks. Yum. Eat all the things! read more

A Hidden, unethical "kitchen fee" of 8% was added to the bill. This fee was undisclosed until the bill arrived. their ensure claims they added it because of wage increases and SOME of the fee goes to kitchen staff wages. Im guessing most lines their pockets. I would have been fine if my meal was simply $1 more. At least that's upfront, clear pricing. Adding a significant hidden fee at the end of a meal is deceitful and left me with a bad taste in my mouth, not something you want after a meal. We won't be back. read more

I'm not understanding the negative reviews here. I mean, is it fair to give a restaurant a low rating when you've only visited once and perhaps the service wasn't up to par that one time? A friend lives right by Tangerine, so I've been here quite a few times - for either a meal, or just to grab a beverage at the bar. It is on the pricier side for what it is, however, everything I've eaten here is so tasty, to me it's worth it. Pros: Delicious lattes. "Tasty" gluten-free pancakes (gluten is the glue that keeps baked goods together so I always give a little frown to GF pancakes, but they are fancied up with tasty butters and toppings, so I can't be too upset.) Yummy breakfast sandwiches and my new favorite breakfast plate is the beets with collard greens and carrots (?) with a side of yukon gold potatoes. Drool-worthy. This place is almost always packed so be prepared for a wait and don't get your knickers in a wad. read more

Tangerine Restaurant - A lovely latte. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Boulder, Colorado

After a day of fasting, I treated myself to a full on #breakfast here: eggs, pinto beans, greens, carrots, beets, potatoes. House hot sauce. And extra special treat: homemade biscuit. Everything simple and delicious. Yum! This was a bit off the beaten track--am here as tourist. Really glad I came. Just a low key, local vibe. Btw their cocktails look delicious, if that's your jam. read more

First timer (covid19 timeframe) sat outside and overall the food was excellent. Great choices and quality made. Had the standard eggs Benedict and chicken and waffles. Both were delicious and would definitely eat here again. Staff was friendly and attentive. Priced good. Will eat here again upon return. read more

Very good! Had a lovely meal (lunch) which were two salads. Something g simple and they made simple I to very refreshing, tasty, light yet bountiful!!! Customer service was very friendly and attentive! A very nice place!! read more

Loved this restaurant!! We needed some great vegetable options, and theirs did not disappoint... Hubby got a meal with pinto beans, two eggs and a bunch of sauteed veggies (beets, carrots, collard greens, etc.). I got the short rib benedict, which had collard greens, onions, and the gf english muffin was very yummy, too. Both meals came with delicious, well- spiced, potatoes. He got a turmeric latte with almond milk and I got French press coffee (it was perfect and strong). Wish we could go back here before leaving town! Our waiter was also wonderful. He recommended some great sites to see and other restaurants in the area that might provide the kind of fare we're looking for. read more

Tangerine Restaurant - Turmeric latte with almond milk - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Boulder, Colorado

Good breakfast spot. Thriving atmosphere. Portion sizes were large, could more then fill you up! Enjoyed that their menu was 'specialized' to a few types of breakfast meals and not all over the place. They know what they do good and stick to it. Would recommend at least once! read more

Having not only had the opportunity to patron this restaurant but also work there for a brief period, I can say without a doubt that there is not a breakfast resturant I'd rather go to in Boulder. read more

So much stuff is so good here! Puttanesca eggs are reigning Champs from my friends and family. Multigrain pancakes with fig syrup is awesome. Lattes are good. French Toast is good. My daughters like the chicken and waffles. read more

This place is fantastic. Their food is a delicious spin on your classic diner breakfasts, keeping it traditional while also giving it a nice, more gourmet flare. Everything is super fresh and the portions are just enough. The menu is creative while not being too out there or overwhelming. They have some yummy vegan dishes and cater to different styles of diets. While it's slightly more expensive than your typical family breakfast spot, it's totally worth it. read more

Tangerine Restaurant - Create your own omelette. I chose egg whites with spinach and caramelized onions. So delicious. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Boulder, Colorado

Delicious and thoughtfully cooked breakfast every time. Perfectly cooked bacon, poached eggs and hash browns. Not sure why this doesn't have five stars for each review. Highly recommended for takeout! read more

Ehhh, nothing at all special about this breakfast place. Boulder certainly has better. Service was fine- though slow.

We arrived early on Sunday and were able to get seated in one of the cozy, heated, outdoor COVID safe pods (photo attached). Made for a wonderful and safe dining experience. They don't take reservations, so the pods are on a first-come, first-serve basis. We also fully enjoyed our breakfast there. Great service, great food, and very safe! read more

What has happened to Tangerine in Boulder!?! I looked forward to a breakfast there upon my return to Boulder. I was disappointed. Eggs Benedict with home fries. Eggs done well but hollandaise sauce had a day old flavor. The potatoes were inedible with a chemical'ish taste. I was totally bummed. Service was great fast and pleasant. Please fix the kitchen. read more

Great corn beef and hash. Fast service friendly staff. Good place for a work meeting lunch not to loud inside. read more

I really enjoyed dining here! I got the chicken & waffles and it was honestly perfect! I also really liked the potatoes. I was going to add like an egg or something but it was fulfilling all on its on. My friend really liked the pear French toast but she did say she couldn't taste much of the spiced pear flavoring that she was hoping for. Things to note, when we asked for water it didn't include ice so we had to specifically request that. The cinnamon butter was good once it melted but it came in a pretty solid state. read more

Always a nice place to swing by for brunch. There can be quite a wait at times, so good when it's not crowded! Nice freshly squeezed orange juice fits the restaurant name. Had the green eggs and ham. It's a prosciutto and pesto based benedict and was pretty good. Good mix of English muffin to prosciutto to eggs, pesto, and hollandaise. Side of potatoes as well. All in all, light breakfast with quality taste. read more

A quick update. I finally did finally try some pancakes and I loved them. Though I put an egg on top anyway, for the protein, sunnyside this time but I think in the future I'd stick to poached. The sunnyside was a little undercooked for my taste. However, my pancakes were well done, just the way I like them. I hope this is their standard because I really prefer this texture. If you prefer wetter pancakes, check when you order. I had the blueberry lemon ricotta pancake platter and had the blueberry sauce on the side. The lemon ricotta is actually a spoonful of topping on each of 3 traditional blueberry pancakes. I was so pleased because the fresh lemon ricotta was a nice savory touch. And the blueberry sauce was not overly sweet like some I have had elsewhere. And thick, like a berry preserve. This is something I will definitely get again. read more

Extremely bland. The Reuben sandwich was probably the single worst one I've ever had.

This brightly colored, upbeat spot serves a brunch that is filling, creative, and strives to be as locally sourced as possible. Their menu is expansive and a feast for the imagination -- lemon and ricotta pancakes, tempeh scramble, a variety of benedicts (veggie, salmon, trout and apple?!). While they have an array of vegetarian/vegan options, the meals are not of the fou fou variety -- expect a full plate of food. I ordered the veggie benedict which comes with home fries. It was a generous portion and hit the spot for a hearty start to a Sunday. The home fries are well-seasoned and come with ketchup from Denver. The plating could use some work as it was pretty sloppy. Their French toast also came out luke warm. They had a sign that they were in need of a sous chef and line cook so they may be short staffed. I do commend them for their ability to churn out meals to a large crowd with minimal wait. 4 stars for the variety of the menu including veggie options, the quick turnaround during brunch hour, and large portions! read more

Tangerine Restaurant - Veggie benedict - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Boulder, Colorado

This is my go-to brunch spot in Boulder. I love it. They have an excellent variety of options and they go beyond the typical breakfasts that you find everywhere else. The portions are huge and everything on your plate will be delicious. My two favorite dishes (both vegetarian) are the Polenta and Romesco and the Roots, Greens,& Beans. Both are so flavorful and a nice change from the boring options you see elsewhere. Their braised collard greens are so good, and I also love their home fries. They have excellent jams on the table to enjoy with your toast. Service is always friendly, and there is always a wait for brunch-a sign that there are many people who love this place as much as I do! read more

We had to wait 30 minutes to be seated. Yes they were busy. So we asked for menus while we waited. We were hungry. Once seated our waiter came fairly quickly and he did subtly warn us that the kitchen was backed up. But this is a breakfast / lunch place. How long can it take to put an egg on some lettuce and make a pancake? Apparently here it takes more than an hour! The wait was ridiculous for mediocre food. Yes the food was average and it was definitely not worth the wait. This is not a staff issue. It is a management issue. Don't seat people unless you can serve them. This wait affected and wasted our day. read more

Great brunch location in north Boulder. The food was delicious and they have housemade chai, which I loved. We had a large party of twelve over Parents Weekend and the manager could not have been more accommodating. read more

We love the Longmont and Lafayette locations. Great staff great food. The Boulder relocation however has been a disappointment. The food is good but the staff is grumpy and just not friendly. We were there with friends we had not seen in a very long time. Eventually the manager asked us to leave. That's fair. However the comment of "other people need to eat" was highly unnecessary and unprofessional. It's ok you can ask us to vacate the table not a problem but for goodness sake no need to be snarky. Unfortunate experience. We won't be returning. read more

Tangerine is a bright, healthy breakfast spot located in North Boulder! They have an adorable patio with lots of nice flowers that is in the shade in the mornings. I'm always surprised by how there usually isn't too long of a wait here. When I went last weekend, the kitchen had an issue but still managed to get my my food in a timely manner!! They have a private area for special events, or for large reservations. If you're thinking about going here, I would highly recommend the corn beef hash - they have great fresh fruit as well!! read more

Two hairs in my food our waiter was unfriendly and rude. One of my friends got there food almost 30 minutes after all our other guest received there's. Her meal was then cold. My side of collard greens was cold and tasted bad and was enough food to feed a baby mouse. My friends breakfast burrito was also bad the tortilla was hard as a rock. Also she said the wait for a party of 5 was going to be 30 minutes and it was almost an hour. 3/10 read more

Delicious and varied gluten free breakfast places are not easy to find. Tangerine is, hands down, one of my favorites out there. The GF pancakes and waffles are GOOD. Most places make them a little wonky, but these taste heavenly. I wish it was closer to Denver, I'd go all the time! The wait is usually pretty long, so be prepared for that, especially on weekends. The interior has a small, cute diner feel on the inside. Service is usually quick and on-top of anything you need. Food never takes long to get to your table, which is always nice after a wait for a table. read more

We needed a brunch spot to celebrate and Tangerine happened to be close by and have good reviews. We heeded one yelpers review to grab the Groupon, which really just gave us $7 off our meal. Tangerine is not the cheapest option on the block, but their menu definitely has something for everyone - Gluten Free, Vegetarian and Omnivores (like us)! It is trendy, bright and clean and their menu has some unique offerings. We were both starving so we went with the Corned Beef Hash and Chicken and Waffles. Both were delicious. The corned beef was toasted and served as nice big chunks mixed into russet potatoes, while the chicken was tender and the cashew cream on the waffles a nice touch. My one dislike was that the waffle was thick and dry and tasted like the mix you get at hotel continental breakfast buffets. Fairly bland, but was saved by the cream and maple syrup. They have a great selection of drinks, teas, coffees, house made hot chocolate (which was wonderful) and smoothies. We would recommend this place and I'd like to try their trout and apple benedict next time! Friendly service as well :) read more

Oh my AMAZING!!!! Husband and I came here for our first breakfast on our honeymoon. I don't even know where to begin! Our server Amber was FANTASTIC!!

I ordered the Braised Short Rib Benedict on Gluten free English Muffin. This was the most delicious breakfast I've had in a really long time!
