Molded bacon egg and cheese croissant
Melanie N.

Usually just get their coffee and banana bread. Which is good. But today I tried their grab n go breakfast sandwich.....they say they make them fresh everyday. This is definitely not the case when there's this much black mold on it. I did get my money back, but that because I work close by and can walk back over. I'm giving 3 stars only because I love the girls that work the convenient store. Super friendly! I won't be getting any more food from the cafe part.

Vegetarian omelette scrambler

We weren't expecting much since it's inside a gas station, but wow! The coffee was excellent (and we're coffee snobs). We had the Denver omelette and the vegetarian omelette. Both were excellent and cheap! They even have gluten free toast. We'll be back to try the lunch menu.

Absolutely disappointed. It's in a gas station. The floors are dirty, and I should've walked out after I noticed the prices were higher than posted on yelp. Apparently this tiny "scramble" is worth over $10. It was not. This was a $6 gas station breakfast scramble where you paid extra for the smile service. Not worth it. I won't be coming back for a second time. If I'm driving by and hungry again I'll just go to Taco John's next door.

the interior of the restaurant

I can't speak to anything but breakfast here, but it is probably my favorite for the food and service in town. The gas station location doesn't make a high dining ambiance. No problem as I come out of my way here to eat. Pleasant people, a wide range of options and fair prices. I paid $11 for a "meatatarian" with extra of their great green chili and a refillable large soda. I'm not a Vegetarian but they're covered here too.

Reuben on rye

Just stopped to get gas - wasn't expecting to find this hidden gem! But it was lunch time too... so I stood in the line - 10 people deep (that's how you know it's good folks). I grabbed a Reuben, some chips, and a drink all for less than $10. The wait was very reasonable too - I was in an out of the gas station restaurant in 10 minutes with a hot sandwich. Next time I'm ordering extra sauerkraut because it was so good.

Halfway thru our lunch, spinach/strawberry salad, green line gobbler panini, and tomato bisque soup. Yum!

What an unexpected surprise in a Mobil gas station. We were in the area and checked Yelp for a lunch spot and The Green Light Cafe came up. It only had 11reviews but 5 stars so we thought we'd try it out. The menu had great sandwiches and salads. We split the strawberry and spinach salad (special that day) and the Green Light Gobbler grilled panini. Both were fantastic. My husband also had a cup of tomato bisque soup, which he said was very tasty. The food was fresh and flavorful. They are a bakery as well and the baked goods looked great. They gave us each a tiny soft sugar frosted cookie and they were yummy! The staff were all super friendly and doing a great job. Definitely a great lunch place. We want to go back for breakfast and try the breakfast burrito, we heard they are amazing.

This place is seriously the best food hidden gem in Fort Collins. Soups, Salads, and sandwiches done right, and done daily. Sooooo good!

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.

It shouldn't be difficult for a restaurant to make a basic breakfast, but more often than not, that…read morehas been my experience -- but not at Rainbow! Eggs, bacon, and potatoes were all perfectly cooked, and swapping out toast for french toast was a great decision! Super nice people working there as well.

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.
