There was also a live guitar performance that added a nice touch to the overall vibe. Both the indoor and outdoor seating areas are great options. The café is located near a small river, and the outdoor seating is surrounded by green space, creating a peaceful and relaxing setting. The indoor seating is cozy and comfortable as well. Our server was very friendly and welcoming, and overall we had a great experience and would happily come back.

Blackbird Cafe - A Kittredge Gem If you are looking for a…read morereliable spot in the canyon, Blackbird Cafe in Kittredge is easily one of the best. They are consistently great, which is why you'll almost always find the place buzzing with energy. The location is fantastic--it's situated right next to Bear Creek, providing a cool, relaxing atmosphere that really captures the mountain vibe. As for the food, it's excellent across the board. The breakfast scrambles are a highlight, topped with fresh sauces and served with perfectly crispy hash brown medallions. Their smothered burritos are another must-try, loaded with melted cheese and served with fresh sides. Beyond the plate, the staff is always wonderful, making you feel welcome even when they are slammed. Whether you're a local or just passing through, this is a staple for a reason. Rating:

We came here for brunch before heading to the hot springs and it was a great stop…read more I got the Main Street Benedict, super yummy! The only thing I didn't like as much was the hashbrowns, they were just okay. I also ordered the jalapeño bread French toast (recommended by our server). I love jalapeño flavor, but I remember thinking it sounded kind of weird for French toast... but I'm glad I tried it because it was so good. They make their breads in-house and I would definitely get that again. I also tried some of my friend's banana bread and that was really delicious too. Didn't get a chance to try these since we had to get to the hot springs soon so thought it's too much food to finish in time, but they had a French toast flight and a Benedict flight, which I've never seen before. Pretty cool, I love anything where you can try multiple flavors. Overall, would reccomend this brunch spot in Idaho Springs. Would come back!

People here rave about the food, but I wouldn't know. Was here with my wife on Saturday June 27 to…read morehave breakfast before our 7:30 hot springs slot. This place is supposed to open at 7:00 - at 10 after an angry hippie opened the door and begrudgingly seated us. We sat for about 5 minutes and observed the hippie chaos that ensued. Clearly it was going to be awhile. This place was a little too aligned with the slow life of mountain town life. Went to Macdonalds.

If you like a juicy burger with incredible taste, this is the place to go. Their truffle fries were just as good. I will have to go back and try the Salmon and their signature cocktails. The only negative, and this is not the restaurant's fault, is that the parking is horrible. Luckily, we went on a weekday in the winter, so we were able to park about a block away. There are a few paid parking spots, but it will cost about $10 for 2 hours if you use the QR code on your phone. If you can get to the restaurant, it's well worth it. The staff is incredible; they will make your dining experience fun.
