It's the first week of June, time for our annual pilgrimage to Fort Collins, CO for 5 days of R&R…read more It's become a tradition with us to eat brunch at Lucile's, so brunch it was, on a fine warm Monday morning. Our fabulous server Clementine was there--we remembered her from last year. This is I think our third or fourth time here in as many years. An order of beignets started us off. These are square and no-kidding as big as my hand. Each. Four of them. Yeah, beignets are mostly air but one order was plenty for the two of us. I ordered the Eggs Pontchartrain---pan-fried trout filet, poached eggs, smothered in sauce bearnaise. I ordered the side of grits, plain, though I've also had their cheese grits. Both are stellar. Fabulous breakfast plate! Wife N went with the classic Benedict, ham, poached eggs, hollandaise, plain grits on the side. Delicious as always. Coffee is dark and fabulous. Side biscuit was super-fluffy and the housemade strawberry rhubarb jam hit the spot. Fabulous as always, see you again next year!

Excellent breakfast at this iconic spot in Ft Collins…read more It's a super busy and super packed storefront place in Old Town Ft Collins. Even at 11am, there was not an empty table. Had to try a cinnamon roll, which is what they're famous for. Pro Tip - unless you're really really hungry, order the mini. We ordered the giant size and between 2 adults we finished barely half. Not to worry, though - it packs up well to be consumed a little later. There's an extensive menu of typical breakfast fare. The Signature Breakfasts are heavy on Mexican-influenced choices. Tried the stacked huevos, which was a great rendition and a BIG portion. Service is quick, if a little brusque. Still, it's an area icon that you have to try. Will definitely stop back next time I'm in Ft. Collins.

Update: Still enjoyed the strawberry matcha, but could hardly taste the matcha and the color was…read morevery different from last time. They said the color was just from the soy milk (plus I know the strawberry can cancel out some green), but I ordered soy milk last time too, and there was definitely less (or lower quality, possibly old or expired) matcha this time. Otherwise, our visit was good. The rooms can get very very loud when it's busy, so it may not be the best if you're feeling overstimulated, have sensory issues, or want to be able to have a comfortable conversation.

Came here because of the yelp reviews and this place did not disappoint!…read more I was in town for CSU's family and homecoming weekend. I knew it would be busy early this morning so I opted to come in the afternoon. At 1pm on Sunday of homecoming weekend was perfect timing . It was only a 20-minute wait. I sat outside and gorgeous with gorgeous weather and the great service began as soon as I sat down. I started on caramel latte. I was hoping for a cinnamon toll, but they were out. They were also out of hollandaise sauce. I ordered their Good morning burger and it was delicious! Whenever I'm in the area, I'll be sure to come by.

Our second time here yesterday, first since moving to Colorado 3.5 years ago. We stopped in around…read more1:00 on a Sunday....definitely less crowded than our first visit here more than four years earlier. We were seated quickly, and service was prompt and friendly. While interested in the tuna sandwich, I was really hungry, so I got an omelette instead. As it turns out, judging by the size of my wife's chicken salad sandwich and fries, the tuna likely would've been plenty for me, and I'll try it on a future visit. My omelette (with cheese, spinach, mushrooms, and onions) was fine, but nothing unusual from an omelette you'd get elsewhere. Home fries and ciabatta toast were both really good too. Coffee was delicious. Speaking of the chicken salad sandwich, my wife enjoyed it on her first visit too and was equally impressed this time. Definitely a big sandwich. I'm sure she'll get it again.

This place has a full diner menu with breakfast and lunch options, but it's cafe style service…read morewhere you order and pay at the counter and then seat yourself. The staff were welcoming and the vibe is very cool whether you sit inside the restaurant or the patio/garden area. I got a side order of the pumpkin bread French toast and an iced mushroom coffee latte. The pumpkin bread French toast was delicious, and the side was actually the perfect size for my breakfast since I like to have a relatively light meal for breakfast. Even though it was the side order, they still dressed it up nicely with whipped cream, caramelized bananas, pecans, so I feel like I got the same experience as the full order. The mushroom coffee is made with a functional mushroom/herbal blend and contains no actual coffee or caffeine. It had a unique taste that was vaguely coffeeish, and I really liked it. All around I had a very good breakfast experience here!

I've been to Rainbow several times and I struggle to finish my meal every time. There's something…read moreabout the food that's not satisfying to me. I end up leaving about half of my meal or have to force myself to finish. I've really tried to love it since Rainbow always has rave reviews, but it's just not for me. I've visited to try out their vegan/vegetarian options when I'm in the mood to eat something lighter or focus on plant-based meals since they're known for their accommodating menu. I've tried the falafel wrap, the scrambled tofu, and the vegan breakfast burrito. I've also tried their golden milk latte. I love turmeric/golden milk lattes so I was excited to try it here. It was okay, but a little too grainy for my taste. The service is fine, but nothing stands out about it. You arrive, place your order, and they'll deliver to your table or give you a buzzer so you can pick up. The restaurant itself is charming, bright, and clean. It has a really great vibe. The best part is the popular patio area especially on beautiful, sunny days. Rainbow is a good restaurant, just not for me.

Tip Extortion Been…read moregoing there occasionally for 5 years. Service was hit and miss. Some staff friendly, some merely aloof, some seemingly hostile. Never could figure it out. Gave them the benefit of the doubt. I always support independent shops when possible. Friends don't let friends go to Starbucks... A few days ago it became clear. I ordered a bagel and requested it be toasted enough not to be raw inside. About half the time that's what I got. I paid and saw they wanted a tip upfront. I feel asking for a tip before earning it is unethical. So I selected no tip. I would gladly leave a dollar after. One of the staff, let's call him "Chris", toasted my bagel and delivered it to me burnt. No overdone. Burnt. As in mostly black. I said it was burnt. He replied that I requested it "double toasted". I looked at him like he was speaking in Swahili. I explained that I merely wanted it toasted and not raw inside. He insisted that I ordered it that way. He did not take my order. I said she wrote it but I did not say it. He insisted that I, the customer, was somehow so stupid as to not know how to order a bagel. I said "would you eat this"? Amazingly, he said with a straight face "yes". I replied that he could eat it but I want what I ordered. The baged was an insult. A childish lame attempt at revenge or punisihment. At this point "Chris" leaned over and told me I should be nice. Nice? Nice! I was flabbergasted. I was being scolded by kid a third my age. I was stunned. Was this a joke? Yes, but he was serious. It was an absolutely stunning display of passive-aggressive behavior. Delivered with a condescending smirk and self-righteousness. I replied that I am not nice and so what. He then insisted that I be nice. I said I am from the Midwest and we tend to be direct. It's not rude. It's the way we communicate. Honestly without hedging. This sailed right over his head unacknowledged, Then the truth. You didn't leave a tip he said. How did he know I didn't tip on the little checkout screen? I tried to explain my view on tipping that it needs to be earned. "Chris" was adamant that they expect tips as they are not paid much and work "hard". I reiterated my view and called tipping up front unearned and possibly undeserved as like Socialism. "Chris" did not like that and said that "people of my generation (Boomers are Bad!) don't get it." He further lectured me on how underpaid they were and that the "need" and thus "deserve" tips regardless of what service they offer. He then declared that a dollar tip was entirely insufficient. I replied that $1 on a $4 bagel was a 25% tip. He repeated that it was too little regardless. I said then how much is fair. He did not answer. My guess is that he knew as much about the mathematics of percentages as he knows about Swahili dialects. I offered that if they were to ask for tips after, the honorable way, they would earn more. People are motivated above all by fairness and would hedge on tips not knowing if they would be earned. "Chris" gave me the obligatory hourly-wage employee response that "that's the way it is"... The self-declared creatives have the ingenuity of cows munching grass. Then a kid decided to be a hero and intervened saying "WE don't have a problem with the tipping". In a stunning display of sociotropic behavior, he elected himself to defend the shop and represent all other patrons. I ran out of patience and told him to STFU. At this point the heroine server, who decided I like burnt bagels, told me to leave. So I did leave. I regret every penny I spent there to support their shop. So now I know why even as I liked the layout of the place, and all their countless little books promoting a myriad of pretentious woke socialist utopia topics, I never felt comfortable there. The all-inclusive did not like me invading their "Safe Space". Instead of just telling me "hey, this is our space not yours Boomer Boy" they instead were a case study in passive aggressiveness. A coward's way to feel all smug and self-righteous. Since they present themselves as fans of "literature" here is a literary quote (Kurt Vonnegut Jr. in Slaughterhouse Five... said to the character Billy Pilgrim in a hospital upon his return from being a prisoner of war in Dresden, Germany... "I can carve a better man out of a banana" So I see that they have high ratings from their intended audience and I am a mere interloper. My little One star rating will not be noticed. I will end this saying "Be Nice"... "Stay Safe".... be good little normies.... tell your friends to go to Starbucks. p.s. The Wolverine is the state animal of Michigan, where I am from. It is fearless and righteous. No other animal takes it on. You don't deserve the name. May I suggest the "Weasel Farm Safe Place"...
