Good clean spot for breakfast. Very flaky biscuits!!! Friendly service. It's in a convenience store so it took me a minute to find it. Glad it did. read more

I've heard a fair number of people mention this place as a great place to get a sandwich, so I've wanted to try it for a while ... but I've never been motivated to come here intentionally vs. stopping by when I happen to be on this side of town. Well, I finally find myself out this direction during their operating hours and stopped in for lunch. I decided to do a pick 2 combo with a half sandwich and half salad - I got the Ciabatta Bing! grilled panini and an italian salad, to go because I just didn't wanna sit in a gas station eating my lunch. I enjoyed both, though as suspected not so much that I'd really go out of my way to eat here. read more

Phenomenon Bfast Burrito! Been coming to physical therapy which is next door to the Gas station and had no idea there was a small cafe inside. Homemade ingredients and reasonable prices. Have a small comfortable seating area as well! Highly recommended checking it out!! read more

The Green Light Cafe - Breakfast Menu - Cafes Near Me - Fort Collins, Colorado

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. read more

The Green Light Cafe - Molded bacon egg and cheese croissant - Cafes Near Me - Fort Collins, Colorado

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. read more

The Green Light Cafe - Vegetarian omelette scrambler - Cafes Near Me - Fort Collins, Colorado

You wouldn't think a small place inside a gas station would be worth the stop, but this place consistently delivers fresh and tasty salads, sandwiches and soups! Staff is friendly! read more

Great food friendly staff I love their paninis and soup. Located inside a gas station yet their food is delicious! read more

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. read more

The Green Light Cafe - a hand holding a container of food - Cafes Near Me - Fort Collins, Colorado

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. read more

The Green Light Cafe - the interior of the restaurant - Cafes Near Me - Fort Collins, Colorado

Hidden Gem. Wow. Fantastic. I have to admit I was skeptical when I pulled up and found the Green Light co-located in a gas station. But the ratings don't lie. Don't hesitate to ask the friendly staff for recommendations. They have GF gluten free options galore also. I had the gobbler which was fantastic on rye. They have several bread options for and sandwich or wrap. There is a steady flow of loyal customers. You'll love it. read more

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. read more

See all

Greenlight Cafe is one of Fort Collins's best kept secrets. At first I was skeptical given its location in a Mobil station, but you quickly move past that once you realize their food is delicious and they use fresh, quality ingredients. The biscuits and gravy are baked/cooked from scratch, along with a lot of the other baked goods offered. I recommend giving this unique spot a shot! read more

Unfortunately, I could not sing the same praises as my predecessors. The biscuits and gravy was satisfying; however, the double order is served in a large, (cold) ceramic bowl that immediately reduced the temperature to just below lukewarm. My over-easy eggs fell into the medium-hard spectrum, and were cooked at such a high temperature that all exposed areas of the whites were crisped. The scrambled eggs prepared for my son, however, were unrecognizable as such. Looking more like tofu scramble, they sat untouched for the first time in four years. All would not be lost, but the coffee was dispensed from an industrial Keurig. (Not bad tasting, but it doesn't have the rich flavor worthy of skipping it at home.) On the other hand, the kitchen was impeccably clean and professionally run by a wonderful team -- I just wish I had more to write home about. read more

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. read more

The Green Light Cafe - Halfway thru our lunch, spinach/strawberry salad, green line gobbler panini, and tomato bisque soup. Yum! - Cafes Near Me - Fort Collins, Colorado

Great! Well run with fresh quality ingredients. Friendly staff and a super great value. Every detail of the business is well thought out and executed. Lots of breakfast restaurants in Fort Collins where you can get a very good breakfast ; but expect to pay for it. Here you can get the same quality and creativity at half the price. They also have ready to go food you can pick up that is awesome compared to what you normally find at a convenience store. Great job of integrating their business into the convenience store, it is very inviting! read more

Love this place for its breakfast burritos. Haven't taken the time to try anything else yet. Service from the all-woman crew is fast and friendly. Good prices, too. read more

Don't let the exterior of this place be the reason to not eat there as it's in a convenient store. The food was amazing here and so was the service. We were cheerfully greeted by one of the ladies at the register. We ordered the climber omelette and biscuits and gravy. Both were so good, fresh, and flavorful! My son said these are the best biscuits they taste like butter. My omelette was filled with ham, spinach, and cheese. So yummy! It was fast and fresh! Go here eat and be full of yummy goodness!!! Enjoy read more

WOW, Great Service and Great Food that was fresh and made to order. All this and its inside a gas station.... What, seriously they earned a 5 star. It gets very busy at lunch, obviously because of the amazing service and food. Definitely give it a try for lunch, you'll be glad you did. read more

Easily the best tasting food in this business park area. Not too impressed with the nearby coffee shop, Good Times or Taco Johns which makes this place a natural shoo in for me. The Green Light Cafe is also housed with Zoom Mart, a gas station. Normally I don't review restaurants inside gas stations because it is just another restaurant chain which does not offer anything new. I make an exception here because Green Light deserves the recognition and is not a chain. For those of you who may not have been here, here is how the ordering works... You place your order at the counter and then pay at the Zoom Mart registers and then go back to the cafe and wait for your order to come. If you want a fountain drink you get it from the Zoom Mart soda fountains. If you want to tip the people who make your food you go back to the end of the cafe's counter and there is a jar there. All of that can be a bit confusing. There are plenty of places to sit after you get your food so sit back and enjoy. The cafe offers a variety of sandwiches, soups and more. I ordered The Special which was a panini which was pretty good! They also make pastries that you can have but you also get a green light sugar cookie that comes with your meal. Nice and friendly people makes this place even better by the minute! read more

Great spot for Breakfast or lunch. For breakfast try the Breakfast with shredded pork! It rocks Lunch pretty much all I have tried was very good. The Cuban is my favorite though. Great service and friendly people. Try it! read more

We were quite surprised by this restaurant which was part of a gas station. I had a great biscuits and gravy and my wife really enjoyed the breakfast burrito. You order up front and they bring it to your table. Prices are good. Atmosphere was good for a quick breakfast. read more

This cafe is inside the Zoom Mart and it is quite delicious! My husband and I got the Reuben and the sweet and smoky and loved them! They have a cute little patio, too! I would definitely come back here. read more

The Green Light Cafe is the best thing that's happened in this corner in a long time. They have such a great variety of delicious food to choose from. (and the biscuits and gravy are the best I've had - besides homemade in Kentucky). I would recommend them any day of the week. read more

Their branding says it all: Real Food. Real Fresh. Real Good. Soup, salad, sandwiches. Can't wait to come back. read more

Totally agree with another review, "hidden gem". Looks like a gas station quickie Mart, but inside is a cute restaurant with quality food and very clean. Highly recommend! Excellent breakfast burritos. Impressive breakfast and lunch menu. read more

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

Don't miss this cute café for lunch! My favorite sandwich is the Terra, fantastic combination of veggies and flavors. But I have also enjoyed the salads, breakfast burritos & soups. It is a hidden gem in a gas station called Zoommart! The kitchen is clean & staff friendly read more

I am a Reuben snob - I ferment my own sauerkraut - and they have hands down the. best. Rueben I have ever had. Wonderful little restaurant in an unexpected location. read more

When we first moved here, we were looking for a place to eat breakfast and stumbled upon the Green Light Cafe. Since then, we have eaten at many other places, but this still stands out above the rest. The biscuits are the best I have eaten and I spent the last 8 years in the south. read more

I give it 5 Stars as far as cafe/sandwich shops go. I get breakfast burritos here often, and they are all delicious. I recently started coming for lunch, and have had the Favorite 1/2 sandwich and Italian 1/2 salad combo. Everything is fresh, the staff is very helpful, and one of the perks is getting your 10th meal free (tracked with a punch card). read more

Surprising to find a great spot like this in a gas station. The breakfast burritos are real good and they usually even have some ready to go for those in a hurry. Everything is very fresh. read more

GLC (Green Light Cafe) is delicious! The gals there are super friendly and so helpful, and the food is great from their breakfast options (pulled pork quesadillas, and biscuits & gravy) to their lunchtime menu. Believe you me, it is NOT GAS STATION FOOD at all whatsoever - everything they make is fresh!! I work around the corner from this place and just love having it as an option for breakfast and lunch since there is not much for food/restaurant choices. Their bakery choices are limited, but wonderful too - try the Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Almond cookie...my favorite!! The only thing that I would complain about is the prices of the sandwiches. Although they are delicious, it's hard to dish out $7-8.00 for a sandwich (not including chips or a drink). Make the $8.00 worthwhile and pile on the goods for the sandwiches and make the meal deal under $9.00 (especially if you get the good $8 sandwiches). read more
