Amazing restaurant!! We came with over 10 people and were able to be seated in about 10 mins. The service was so attentive and the inside was so spacious with lots of outlets and free WiFi. We all ordered skillets ($14-16) and 2 rounds of mimosas or bloody Mary's ($0.99 each). The drinks were beyond cheap and good. The food itself has huge portions and not too flavorful but they give you lots of salsas, quesos, and condiments so you can customize it. Highly recommend for food, prices, and service. read more

Came here for Sunday morning breakfast before tackling a 5 mile trail run in the Rocky Mountains. At 9am our wait was less than five minutes. We loaded up with the lemon pecan pancakes which comes with two ($15.25), the Catalina sandwich (turkey/avocado/swiss $15), and a Lavender White Buffalo latte (white choc latte w/ lavender syrup and (tons of) whipped cream $7.75). All was delicious. Latte arrived in 5 min and all food arrived in barely 10 minutes. We requested a little side of whipped cream for the pancakes and they quickly obliged (no charge). Staff was great and attentive. Parking was a bit congested in their large/free lot but not unexpected for Sunday mid-morning. There's also a large outdoor semi-shaded (trees) patio with about 6-8 tables. Unfortunately it was packed, given the beautiful 74 degree weather and we had a schedule to keep! My only critique is that (unlike First Watch) The Buff's hearty potato skillets are a bit overpriced and lack any meaningful protein options (one has bacon, another has chorizo and the rest are basically vegetarian). I would urge them to have a chicken/shredded pork/beef (short rib?!)/duck/salmon/etc. as options with a modest up charge. read more

Awesome breakfast spot in Boulder. Started with really delicious lattes. Followed it up with a variety of breakfast fare including omelets, skillets, and the basic breakfast combos of eggs, meat, potatoes, and bread. Everything was perfect. Service was fast, efficient, and friendly. Restaurant was packed to the gills at 9 a.m. on a Saturday. They don't take reservations, so expect a bit of a wait. read more

Had a great experience here. Came with family and between us we tasted the eggs, french toast, a skillet bake and some amazingly huge lattes. The iced lattes come in a mug so big it's like drinking a big gulp. Which I appreciate when I've had a long night and want to wake up! The facility was clean and I really appreciated that you could sit outside with a pre-ordered drink from the bar. There are shaded benches that make the wait much more palatable. The tables were spaced nicely and our waiter was super friendly and attentive. Would come back in a heartbeat next time I'm in Boulder. read more

The Buff is ! Two Greyhounds off of the Booze Bar menu had me feeling great after a 12-hour shift, and my server, Kash A., delivered some of the best service I have experienced in a long time. I have not visited The Buff since I lived in Boulder back in 2018, and returning was an excellent experience. The place looks great and is very welcoming. The vegan green chili was outstanding, so much so that I ordered an extra to take home for my spouse. The prices are very reasonable, especially when compared to other brunch restaurants in the area, making The Buff an exceptional value for both quality and service. #APlus #Nostalgia #WillBeBack read more

Once seated, service is prompt. The chicken and French toast was to die for and i would absolutely get it again upon returning. The skillet was great but next time I'd love to try the Benedict's.

Good little restaurant in the heart of Boulder,CO. Next to a hotel so you'll see a bunch of tourist in here in the middle of the week, but not too busy. We had the 99cent mimosas and Bloody Mary. Seemed to OJ in the mimosa were a bit warm and the bloody marry was overly spicy (for our taste) I had the Matterhorn skillet with mushrooms and Swiss cheese, pretty good but again just alittle overly cheesesy. Also had the pancakes which were very good. Also, should go without saying but since it's so close to the college your wait staff will most likely be a student...so leave a good tip Would recommend next time read more

A fantastic spot for breakfast! My wife and I each had a Honey-Vanilla latte, and I ordered the Two Step--two slices of thick, fluffy French toast, crispy potatoes, and savory bacon. The French toast was golden-brown, generously coated in batter, and beautifully presented. The potatoes had a delicious flavor enhanced by a touch of herbs, and the eggs were cooked exactly to order, making the meal truly outstanding! My wife ordered the Buff sandwich meal, and once again, the diced potatoes delivered a delicious, well-seasoned flavor. The sandwich--featuring crispy bacon, melted cheddar, fresh tomato, and perfectly cooked eggs on toasted sourdough--was a flawless blend of flavors. The side of Hollandaise sauce added a rich, velvety touch, making the meal even more enjoyable. The service was excellent and friendly from the time we entered the door. Highly recommended for breakfast! read more

We were both hangry (sic) and The Buff was right in front of our hotel. A quick Yelp check revealed a number of 4 and 5-star reviews which made our decision for a late breakfast very easy. They were packed as it was approaching lunch but were able to secure a high-top table and within minutes our server arrived with water and verified that breakfast was still being served. We both ordered their skillet breakfasts with cappuccino coffees. Warning, bring your appetite as these entrees are large. I noticed that The Buff does not skimp on portion size with any of their entrees. This is a cool local joint that is serving up some excellent food! Oh, they have a full bar as well. read more

Casual, fast service and tasty food! Service is really quick and even though there are crowds of people waiting, it was only 30min to get seated on a Sunday at noon. Menu is pretty diverse and they have an inexpensive kids menu too. My kids happened to want a pancake, egg, and sausage (not on kids menu) but our server was kind enough to recommend a half order of the two step, which worked perfectly! Pancake was light and fluffy. Also came with some country style potatoes. Husband had the California omelet scrambled and I had a veggie omelet scrambled with some of the fresh oj (not entirely sure if it was really fresh squeezed), and a giant iced chai. They also offer 99c mai tais or mimosas if you order an entree (max of 3). This place has it super dialed in--they know how to make tasty food and get you in and out fast (if that's what you wish).

Ambiance was warm, inviting, cozy and sophisticated. Would definitely recommend stopping here to anyone!!

I want to start by saying I would not want this review to deter anyone from enjoying a wonderful…read moremeal at Leaf. I've been here many times in a variety of ways--sat at the bar, at tables with friends and by myself, both inside and outside, and even experienced the large farm table prix fixe menu, which was fantastic. My experiences have consistently been great--the food, service, and atmosphere have always been top-notch. Tonight, however, was my first disappointing visit. I ordered the root vegetable bruschetta, which was very good. I also ordered the butternut squash penne pasta, a dish I've had before and really enjoyed. Unfortunately, this time it was extremely spicy. I'm not sure if the recipe has changed or if it was just a heavy hand in the kitchen, but it was not something I could eat. I mentioned it to the waiter, who didn't have an answer, so I simply asked for a to-go container. Since I couldn't eat it, I later gave the container to a homeless woman sitting nearby with her grocery cart. On my way out, I spoke with someone at the door who brought over the manager. The manager asked if he could see the dish, so I opened the container for him. He then asked if he could taste it and reached in, picked up a noodle, and tried it, saying he didn't notice anything unusual. He also wasn't aware of any changes to the recipe. I suggested that if the dish is now spicy, it might be helpful to note that on the menu so guests know what to expect. What left me disappointed wasn't just the dish itself, but how the situation was handled. There wasn't an offer to replace the meal or provide an alternative, which would have gone a long way. As someone who is only about six months into living in Colorado and a new business owner in the area, I often refer places I believe in. Tonight left me questioning whether I will continue to recommend Leaf based on how this was handled, though I'm hopeful that by tomorrow morning I may feel differently. That said, based on my many past positive experiences, I still believe Leaf is a great restaurant. I just hope this was an off night and that a little more attention is given to both consistency in the kitchen and how concerns are handled moving forward.

Our server didn't seem too happy that we showed up today, the food took about 30 minutes to get to us and the fried pickles and the Cuban weren't very yummy, we didn't finish either. Disappointing. However the French fries WERE very yummy! And the wrap was unique and pretty good. It's a large space and it was easy to find a seat. The artwork is beautiful. Luckily we found street parking so that was easy too. It's a cash only restaurant (or local personal checks) and while it wasn't a problem, we had cash, we probably wouldn't have come here had we known that beforehand. Credit card sales shouldn't be the consumers issue.

We had heard of this cafe as they had been food hosts at a party at a Kühl on Pearl and were hoping to actually eat in their cafe when they coincidentally moved next door to one of our favorite local eateries. We were in the neighborhood around lunchtime so we stopped in when we arrived it was busy, by the time we left, it was packed. It's a unique menu fit for most palates and healthy as can be. It attracts athletes if all ages, healthy eaters of all types. You won't find much meat but there is some. It also as an Asian flair with offerings of congee and fried chicken sides, fish, rice and veggies of all sorts including kimchi . Japanese egg salad sandwiches too. That's one I need to try next time. Today we both chose the mushroom congee with 7 minute egg and a hot drink. A spicy chai with oat milk for my husband and berry hibiscus tea for me. We both enjoyed our meals but just a bit too much garlic for me but just right for my husband and must others too. I loved the volumes of mushrooms and the sprinkles of spices on the whole egg. The egg was done perfectly. My husband brought home a side order of popcorn chicken as I will be at a meeting so he will be eating dinner alone. The service was great, everyone friendly and helpful the cafe bright and clean and the ordering counter moves fast. They deliver to and clear the tables. More quick casual places should do this to avoid the piles of debris at bins in the seating area I often see. There is a flat panel screen on the wall featuring cyclists in the wild given that energy snacks were the first products of this company and much for sale here too. The mix of diners covered the spectrum of adults you would expect in Boulder. This cafe is only breakfast and lunch so come when convenient earlier in the day. Parking is free and always available in this center. Lots of construction around the intersection so plan your trip to get into the lot via Alpine and not Broadway. That Broadway construction will be ongoing for a while. It's also a good place to arrive by bike. Pricing was very affordable and variety of meals wide.

Best tomato soup on the planet accompanied by fresh, perfectly crusty bread. This location is my third favorite. First is Fort Collins, CO and Chicago, IL is second.

Excellent service and a splendid wine selection. You can't go wrong I've had everything on the menu and truly love it all. Crisp ambiance, beautifully lit with a relaxed feel. Late lunch/early dinner recommended as parking in Boulder can be a drag, especially in this area.

Even though our table shared a variety of dishes, which included the ceviche, gnocchi, rigatoni, mussels, the carrots were still #1! We also had their special tomahawk steak which was cooked fantastically and to our liking (medium rare). Great service too and our server was super helpful in recommendations for both food and drinks. However, everything was definitely quite pricey for what we got. Though every ounce of food was delicious and top quality, the meal was definitely a splurge and more of a once-in-awhile treat.

I'd bookmarked Gemini for my visit to Boulder, in part because of its reputation, and also because it's VERY vegetarian-friendly and my husband doesn't eat meat. My faves: - ***Harvest Ratatouille - If you don't order this, you're a fool! ok, that may be harsh, but this dish was hearty perfection. A must-order. - Roasted Cauliflower - Tomato Crostini - ***Caramel flan - Don't sleep on this dessert. I've had MANY flans and this is among the best. We also ordered martinis (full bar) and they were great! Overall, an absolute favorite spot in Boulder. I'll be recommending to any friends traveling that way!
