After graduating from Colorado Christian University at the Blue Arena, my wife and I found this awesome little boutique restaurant. Seriously, I can't recommend this place enough. The owner, Emily, was there working to keep everything running smoothly. The food was healthy and evidently is a great local favorite. All the breakfast and brunch staples you'd hope for, done really well. Our server, Izzy, was amazing too. Super friendly and on top of a party of 9 (and my 18-month old toddler. I'd totally recommend this spot for a laid-back breakfast or brunch. And honestly, if I'm ever back in the area, I'd go out of my to visit Taste Local again. I walked out really impressed, as I think anyone would. read more

I had a delicious breakfast here. I got the Cajun Benny. The house-made biscuit and garlic hollandaise sauce were so good. It came with a bacon-wrapped jalapeno popper that was delicious too. The poached eggs were perfect. The only thing I didn't like was the Cajun fried shrimp, which did not taste fresh. To be fair, it was Loveland, so I did not expect to have fresh seafood. The drink menu was creative. I got a hot Golden Milk Chai without black pepper and the spice was just right. It was a super cozy drink for a fall morning. True to its name, I felt like I tasted local here. read more

Great food. Wonderful service. Strong coffee. Everything you need as a growing boy or girl. The chicken salad croissant is my fav lunch item. Staff is friendly and helpful. Atmosphere is mid modern rustic farmhouse ( I just made that up). Do yourself a favor and stop in. read more

The food was terrific. All made on the spot, organic ingredients, and very flavorful. The ambience is quaint and I like that they feature local young artists on the walls where you can read about them and purchase their artwork. They have a variety of indoor seating arrangements and about three sidewalk tables. The service was great and our server continually checked on us and kept our beverages topped off. We may go back to try the breakfast entrees Sunday as their pancakes look amazing. read more

My first morning in lovely Colorado, and yet I felt...oddly at home, as if the crisp mountain air carried memories of its own from a thousand miles back home, carried abreast on the currents of some of the more obscure Sade songs in the morning. I was seated quickly, before I could even come up with a witty remark for a question of preference. I ordered a Baklava Latte with oat milk, as one does in Rome, and the sweet potato hash with a homemade biscuit. I believe the modern slang is straight bussin, however I'm led to believe that gas would also suffice, no cap frfr on God, et cetera. Had I let a baser instinct take over, I may have licked the plate clean. Next time, perhaps. read more

We made plans to meet family from WY for brunch on Wednesday, and when we arrived, we found that they were temporarily closed. Owner Emily came out and explained that they inherited some problems, and have to replace the kitchen hood. She was so kind and apologetic. She gave us her recommendations for other restaurants in the area- which of course, we took from a restaurant owner!! We are looking forward to eating at Taste Local the next time we head down to Loveland from Estes Park! read more

I'm not 100% sure if this establishment is a cafe, eatery or bar ......maybe just a combination of all three? The decor is a mix of antiques and upcycled furnishings, which is cute, but doesn't exactly allow for great foot traffic flow. Tables sit where they don't fit and the chair's literally look like they are on their last leg. Not a place for comfort nor big groups. The drinks are nothing to write home about either. Selection is VERY limited here so not sure whose palette the focus is on. We came here to watch a three man band that played 70's classic covers (think Van Morrison) as well original music. It wasn't bad but definitely wasn't great. read more

The food was so bad. I wanted to like it but the biscuits and gravy looked like some sort of science experiment.

I was in town visiting a friend and we came in here for breakfast on my last day because I had to try her "favorite breakfast spot," and I can see why it's at the top of her list! This is a quintessential neighborhood breakfast spot where you can tell they really care about their food and experience for customers. Our waitress (sorry I can't remember her name) was an absolute gem and so thoughtful with us having a little one + helpful with food accommodations. The interior was quite busy on a weekend so come early or expect a wait depending on your party size. The food and drinks were TOP TIER - I got an egg scramble and my friend got their pancakes. Next time I'm coming I must try the cinnamon rolls as they looked insane. Their homemade jelly was also 10/10. You absolutely must eat here!! read more

8/1/25: Short version - wow, was Taste Local awesome! The staff was very friendly; the drinks were wonderfully different; the food was scrumptious; and the decor was chaotic (nothing matched) yet it all worked to provide a small, country home feel. There was some artwork on the walls for sale from local artists. Some of it was stunning, I wish I had more money to buy a piece. Longer version - we were visiting Loveland from Arizona & while searching for a place for breakfast, Taste's menu looked appealing -- and it did not disappoint. Drinks: we started off with the juicy ginger chai & rosemary pear. Loved them! The pear had a more mild flavor but my sister fully enjoyed it, while I loved my ginger chai. The entire time we were there we kept looking at a couple other drinks that sounded just as good ... so we decided to get a couple more to go: sunny day sip & matcha. I didn't think it would be possible but the sunny day sip was even better than the ginger chai. Food: holy cow, I'm still salivating over their food. We ordered the large cinnamon roll, blood orange pistachio crepe, and cherry chocolate waffle. The cinnamon roll? We both actually thought it was more like a streusel. It had an apple flavor with it, with a slightly crunchy top & and airy center; the perfect amount of cinnamon. The crepe? I love crepes. I have eaten a lot of crepes, from many different restaurants. Let me tell you, Taste's pistachio crepe was one of the BEST CREPES EVER. The flavor combination was paired perfectly, the crepe was fluffy, the potatoes were expertly seasoned. The only item on the plate I didn't like was the popper -- but only because it was waaay too hot for me. My sister thoroughly enjoyed her waffle. I had a small bite & agree it was also delicious. Staff: our server was Sammy (Sammie?) and the mixologist was Graham. Both were wonderful: friendly, smiling, helpful, & just all around nice. Sammy never forgot us. Despite being relatively busy, she continually kept returning to our table, asking if we needed anything. Graham was just as friendly & seemed genuinely pleased each time we complimented the drinks. I want to visit Loveland again and I guarantee you, Taste Local will be at the top of my list of places to visit when I return. read more

I was looking for a tasty brunch spot to go with my friend, who has a number of food allergies. Taste Local seems to accommodate, so we chose this spot. We arrived around 10:15 on a Saturday and waited about 20 minutes for a table. The ambiance was cute and warm, gorgeous zinnias (I think?) on each table. Indoor and outdoor seating in the shade. Service was good. When asked about the gluten free bread option, the server responded, "I haven't had anyone complain about it. It's made locally." Not a glowing review, so my friend went with the North Indian Dosa without the feta sauce (can't have dairy). She said it was good, but pretty dry without the feta sauce. I had the queen croque. Holy flavor, Batman! This thing was large and in charge! Definitely a shareable item. It had 2 slices of sourdough crispy toast, between which was a ham steak cut not too thick, Gruyère, and roasted tomatoes. On top was my over medium egg and hollandaise sauce. Breakfast potatoes and a fruit skewer (or jalapeño popper) on the side, to boot! The flavors and textures were epic! I could only stuff half into my body, so I brought the rest home, which my husband devoured for dinner and said it was delicious still. read more

I don't believe I have ever waited so long in a restaurant. We got there at 12:15 and we received our order at 1:15. And after that long wait, the food was not very good, quite disappointing actually. This is not a place I would return to or encourage anyone else to go to. read more

I came here a few weeks ago and was so excited to try this place! It has such great reviews and the last few times I tried to come, it was too busy and the wait was indefinite. I was really bummed with my experience. The food is so expensive, and the portions are small and disappointing. The tofu was so watery - it looked like puree or baby food and tastes terrible. I think someone accidentally bought soft tofu instead of firm and thought they could still sauté it. The potatoes were so salty we both couldn't finish them because they were nauseating. The seitan was also so salty! I had high hopes for this place after seeing such positive reviews, but unfortunately for the price, it's not worth it .. we won't be back. read more

Very cute atmosphere but food isn't great. I had the sweet potato hash - potatoes wee undercooked, everything else flavorless, in desperate need of salt. My husband had a the adobe benedict that he said was ok but the rice was undercooked. read more

Food was very impressive! Had the sweet potato hash and cinnamon bun. Both were delicious and unique. Cinnamon bun was buttery and citrusy- felt like a really good croissant mixed with a tasty citrus cream frosting- matched well with my latte. Jaycee was an amazing server. Super attentive and friendly while allowing us space to enjoy our meal and company even on a very busy morning! read more

Very good breakfast. Sweet potato hash with poached eggs and bacon. Mountain Fog toast - earl grey tea flavored syrup and egg dip. Very surprised with earl grey addition. read more

4.5 stars. I can't believe this was my first time in Loveland! My partner took me to a family brunch at Taste Local, where I got to experience Chai Pancakes and Crab Cake Benedict. Sooo good! I've never had Chai Pancakes before, and I would drive all the way to Loveland to have them again. Loved the Benedict, as well as the generally wide selection of menu items. Parking is challenging in Loveland. We had to walk a few blocks, and it was chilly that day. Taste Local gets crowded, especially for large groups on the weekends. It was difficult to have 5 adults and 3 kids because it took an hour to gradually get everyone's food. But set your expectations right (or come with a smaller group) and it's a wonderful local experience. read more

Delicious breakfast! Amazing green chile which is vegetarian! Amazing service! We added a mimosa and a Bloody Mary and started the day right! Oh yes and don't let me forget the drop biscuits! Yum!! Such a great locally owned business! They serve breakfast and lunch anytime! We will be back when in the area! read more

Very cute breakfast/lunch restaurant! I am really glad that they added a vegetarian option recently but I wish they would use a different recipe for their breakfast potatoes. Good breakfast potatoes are my criteria for eating breakfast out. read more

Stopped here for a birthday brunch before heading to the lake. This place is an excellent stop for anyone with a gluten allergy. The menu is easy to navigate and there are plenty of choices. The gluten free bred substitution was delicious and I did not feel like I was missing out or had a less tasty sandwich because of the gluten free bread while eating my cubano. Definitely come in with the expectation that it will take long. The service was great but slow (no fault of the staff! They were BUSY and doing everything in the power to keep up) I'd say this is the perfect brunch spot for anyone with no time restraints wanting a mellow and comfortable spot to grab great food. Will come back! Always wish there were more spots like this in Broomfield read more

A great concept. Just not really well executed. Super noisy environment. The space could use some soft surfaces to take the edge off the din. Food ideas were good but sounded better than they were. Southwestern breakfast was tasty but small and served in a bowl dropped on the home fries. Sweet potato hash was under cooked so the potatoes were still hard and hadn't absorbed much, if any flavor. Staff could use some training, we were seated and served without any silverware. The waitress brought our electronic check while we were still eating. They're almost there but just need a little refining. read more

My husband and I are foodies who like to try out local places, and came here for the first time. Everyone was so friendly and kind, and they all made sure we were well taken care of. They were able to accommodate my preferences on food, which tasted DELICIOUS. It's such a cute cottagecore vibe and I felt right at home walking in here! The drinks were great, we definitely will come again! read more

Cottage chic ambience it's kind of old-school southern it's a little smaller, but it's darling on the inside. It's kind of an industrial with a. Kind of reminds you of Nashville, Tennessee in the all parts of it. The service is absolutely amazing. Their food is some of the best food in Loveland hands-down granted it's not that big of a menu but with that comes the best food you could possibly get 10 out of 10 would definitely recommend. I had the Cajun Benny when I was here and even after eating at some of the top restaurants in the world, I would 100% choose the Cajun Benny especially the biscuit over any other. read more

I picked this place after reading the great reviews and wanting to find a place somewhat near my mother-in-law's house. After going to the website, I followed the directions to request a reservation on the **Saturday** before Mother's Day... I put the date, day and a two hour timeframe in my email. I got a lovely reply stating that they had room on the patio for a time just outside my timeframe, so I checked with everyone in our party and then accepted the new time. On the Thursday before our reserved time, I received a phone call about the required deposit.... for Sunday. Turns out the original email was read incorrectly AND they don't take reservations except for Mother's Day Sooo, we rallied and decided to go ahead and show up on Saturday late morning anyway and hope we could get in. We were seated within 15 minutes ( yay! ), the restaurant is very homey and eclectic with mismatched everything. Our server was polite and quick to bring our waters and take our drink orders... FYI the fresh squeezed OJ is lovely It took another five minutes to get our food orders taken and then we did not see our server for another 25 minutes when she brought more waters and told us our food would be ready "soon". It was another 10 minutes for five of us to get our food and another five minutes for the other two to get theirs Overall the food was quite good, obviously homemade with a lot of flavor. My husband loved his Southwestern, my son inhaled his Chocolate Cherry waffle, my other son really enjoyed his Biscuits and Gravy, my Daughter-in-law cleaned her plate of Plantain Crepes, my granddaughter gave two sticky thumbs up for her PB & J, I thought the Spinach Berry salad was fantastic, my mom felt that her potatoes were over-cooked and the ham on her Benedict was tough, but she liked the flavor of the hollandaise and the Frangipane Pancakes were good, but not quite as flavorful as I had hoped. To sum up, delicious food if you are willing to wait, fun but noisy ambience and somewhat scattered customer service. read more

food and atmosphere was below expectations. also over priced for food and water for 2 people, ended up with a $50 ticket. Not to mention low protein at that rate read more

I wanted to love it, but... I got the traditional eggs benedict and wasn't impressed. They used the tiniest pieces of ham I've ever seen, the muffin was under-toasted, and the potatoes were dry (they didn't seem fresh)! Not worth the price tag if you ask me. Maybe the other dishes are better. read more

Mariano's Blueberry Flapjacks were overcooked to where you needed knife and fork to cut them. The lemon curd was delicious and the blueberries were fresh. A side of 2 eggs scrambled were also overcooked are really a very small 2 eggs scrambled. They were almost black on the bottom. Yet, the eggs were cold while the flapjacks were hot as expected. We would have sent them back, but it was extremely busy on a Saturday morning and we were with another couple. Our companions said their split meal of sweet potato hash and 2 eggs over medium was delicious. No ambience here as it's very loud. read more

My wife and I decided to stop here on a whim and it was a great choice! The place was a bit loud but that was due to the crowd. It was very a very eclectic vibe and none of the tables matches the chairs matched the... We were seated quickly. Lots of good choices to be made. I our servers recommendation for mine. We just had water and chatted while we waited. And here is where they lost a star: We watched server after sever wipe down tables and chairs on to the floor. We then got to see folks step on the food bits. Never once while we were there was an attempt made to clean the floor. The food arrived warm and welcoming! Yum! We ate and enjoyed. We do plan to stop back when in the area. read more

Cute place and good service, but the food was pricy and nothing to write home about. Husband and I left feeling disappointed and would have rather ate at home. Also was served over easy eggs when I asked for over hard. I'm sure they would have gladly fixed this if I asked so I'm not really accounting for that in the review stars but we had a fussy baby and wanted to get out of there quickly. read more

Walking past and place was jammed packed. I now see why! I ordered a half order of the Adobo Benny (crispy rice, beef short rib, poached egg and sauce/ served with jalapeño popper and fried potatoes) well they made a mistake and gave me a full order...I ATE IT ALL! Their menu is incredible and my lunch partners also had delicious food. Atmosphere is lively and service is great- my bill was corrected for a half order but I paid for a full. HIGHLY recommend! read more

This is probably the biggest disappointment I've ever experienced eating out. Very pricing. They advertised very fresh, local food and he menu seemed really interesting. We got our plates and saw tiny, basic sandwiches I could easily make at home. The orza salad was basically cooked orzo with olive oil drizzled over. My husbands panini seemed reheated. Service was very below average. Not very friendly or helpful. Very sad. read more
