    Blue corn pancakes
    Sasha B.

    This truly is a best kept secret for brunching heaven off the beaten path in Boulder. It's a beautiful melting pot of cuisine as well as guests. While it has its own parking lot there is also loads of street parking nearby - making it easy to drop folks off near then swoop a spot for your stay. Seating is offered both inside and out. They are also happy to accommodate folks with mobility concerns and/or crutches. Staff are friendly, attentive and more than likely the hardest working waitstaff in town! If you're craving delicious food they have something for every palate! I'm talking gritz, breakfast burrito, pancakes, braised beef tongue, you name it they've got it!

    Breakfast Croissant

    Delicious food for a great price! Staff were very kind and service was very quick. Breakfast diner with Mexican flare and decor. Would definitely come back. My boyfriend & I each got the croissant sandwich with parkway potatoes as the side.. great choice.

    Passing through town and saw Mexican breakfast being offered here. Yes, please! I got the Mexican Hash Browns. SO filling and flavorful with the green chili. Mike got the Migas Cuatro and couldn't finish his either. We both left full and happy!

    Quesobirria Tacos and Eggs

    This is the best food we had on our trip to Denver/Boulder. We ordered the chilaquiles and the special Quesobirria Tacos and eggs. We also got a side of green chili and the house potatoes. This food was unreal good. Extremely large portions, the food itself was perfectly (not overly) spicy, seasoned well, and just straight up tasty. This is a diner at the end of the day , and everything you can expect from a local diner will be here. The service was amazing, food delivered quickly, and it was crowded with the typical weekend diner atmosphere that I always look for when dining at these types of restaurants.

    Solid breakfast spot with the classics and reasonable prices. Diner feel with outdoor seating and a Mexican flare to their food/decor.

    Denver omelette with hash browns and mini waffles
    Jocelyn H.

    5/5! The food and service was great here. We got the breakfast burrito and Denver omelette. The omelette is a deal because it comes with two sides (I got the hash browns and mini waffles). If you can get any side, the mini waffles are a must. The serving size is great for the price. They have lots of indoor and outdoor seating. We were worried that there would be a wait on a Sunday morning and limited parking, but we were seated immediately. Overall, great experience.

    Mexican hashbrowns with added sides

    This was absolutely delicious. The green chili had a nice mild spice level and was rich and super flavorful. Eggs were done perfectly and the service was excellent. Good coffee. I added the veggies and beans as sides and it was great this way.

    Steak and eggs, my post run favorite!

    A 'hidden' true Boulder delight. Nothing fancy just good food and great service. And they have gluten free bread :)

    Breakfast tacos

    A 5-star diner. The menu is very good, the food is very good, they serve it quickly and the servers are top notch. It's a somewhat odd location, quasi industrial but, I'll come back whenever I can.

    Is the green chili vegetarian?

    No contains pork. Best damn green chili though!

    Are they're gluten-free options available? Yes or no will suffice minus any unnecessary assumptions please.

    Only if you build an omelette that way. This is not a new age or trendy type of place. It is an old school greasy spoon diner with diner folks and working people as regulars. If that it what you are looking for this place is solid and authentic. If…

I mean, seriously, how do they make the food so good across the board?! Drinks: It is a cafe and good cafe drinks they have whether it's a matcha, chai latte, mocha, latte, or orange juice. Service: Excellent. They check in without being annoying even when it's super busy. The staff I've encountered notice nonverbal details when you need something. Space: Limited seats, so it can get packed with a wait. Indoor and outdoor options. Outdoors can be nice in the morning during summers under the umbrella - otherwise, can get really hot in sunny spots by afternoon. Cost: $$. Not cheap but not expensive. You do get what you pay for as the food is really tasty.

We had to wait about 20 mins without a reservation on a weekday - im guessing weekends are busier. The menu is influenced from countries along the silk route and has a dish from various different countries. We tried the swedish svamptoast, malaysian sambal curry, indonesian peanut noodle, choo chee salmon. Everything was flavorful, a little spicy, good quantities and the value for money was also great - each dish was $20-$23 range which is great for such an ambience. We also tried their chai - which was lightly spiced and one of the black teas (pineapple chilli) - and these were delicious too! We had kids with us and they were super friendly and nice towards them and accommodating to menu changes based on preferences. Overall - highly recommend this place!

We were surprised to find it very crowded at 4pm when we visited. There's a small area at the front of the restaurant and a lot of folks were gathered there waiting for their tables. It took several minutes before the hostess checked us in and let us know it would be a few minute wait. A bit later we were guided to our seats. I appreciated that they took trouble to make it feel like a special experience - with white tablecloths, decor and the cutlery. They seemed a bit short staffed that day so our server was helping out many tables. He was very helpful in explaining the menu, though we did have to ask specifically to receive the full tea menu. We decided on a few teas to share - a spiced white chocolate white tea, rooibos chai, and a hibiscus cooler (iced and non-caffeinated). The spiced white chocolate was fantastic. I wasn't as much of a fan of the rooibos but if you like less sweet teas this is a good choice. The hibiscus cooler was delicious and refreshing, and I liked that they let us take it to go! Our amuse bouche came out first - a delicious pumpkin seed savory small soup and it was fantastic. We eagerly awaited our tea tower - and it certainly did not disappoint! We are still thinking about the delicious spinach and artichoke pinwheel with olive tapenade - it was our absolute favorite. The savory sandwiches were also delicious. We especially enjoyed the clotted cream and lemon curd with the scone, and the desserts were delectable. We were stuffed by the end of our teatime! Our server was very helpful and despite it being very busy, we felt taken care of. I think this is a very worthwhile experience - the tea, sweets, and savories are all delicious and definitely worth checking out!
