A friend and I went to our favorite breakfast place, The Parkway Cafe. We both had the Mexican hash browns. Always so good. Served with a smile. I love the food here. Although I'm here always for breakfast. Lunch once in awhile. Even at lunch I'll get the Mexican hash browns read more

Love this place. We have been here at least once a week for 4 weeks and look forward to going back this week. Their benedict is good and their breakfast specials are a good deal and their link sausage is excellent. The staff is usually welcoming and efficient and you can save a little off your tab by paying in cash like the old days. You can use that money towards the tip. Their hash browns are really crisp and tasty as well and an all-around easy place to breakfast or lunch. read more

This is a greasy spoon/diner type of place with ok food - not great, but also not bad. I think their breakfasts are better than their lunches. The food tastes fine, but the ingredients are cheap and service is nothing to write home about. read more

Great service! Oscar & the others are great cooks! I love the breakfast burritos (to-go) con chorizo! Gracias! They are always on point

Occasionally you come across a restaurant that is so good it's difficult to imagine your life before you found it. The Parkway Cafe is such a place. The Mexican Hash Browns are amazing. I added Chorizo and I hammered the whole thing. I felt like licking the plate when I finished so I wouldn't waste any of the delicious green chili. Alas, my wife wouldn't let me do it. She redeemed herself when she jokingly suggested that I use my French toast to sop it up. It was a solid recommendation among a sea of questionable life choices she's made throughout the years. The service is great and the atmosphere is too. Try this place for breakfast if you want to scratch your culinary itch. If you're not in such a mood feel free to go elsewhere and be disappointed. read more

I've been coming here for years and it just keeps getting better. The chef has specials that are creative and worthy of high-end dining. Yesterday was Chilean Sea Bass on potato terine with a cheese sauce made with a stock reduction with amazing umami flavor. The crust on the fish and potatoes was spot on, and the fish was perfectly cooked. The dessert special yesterday was a crepe with a cheesecake filling topped with strawberry compote. The regular menu items have a Mexican flair to them and are also super good (breakfast enchiladas are my go to). All this in an unassuming restaurant with friendly staff. I've become a weekend regular, and it is by far my favorite weekend brunch place! read more

The food was ok, kind of pricey for a roadside diner. Not worth the drive IMO. There are plenty of other options in Boulder with a better ambiance and about the same prices read more

This little gem was delicious! I had not been able to find a spot where they have chilaquiles and this place did! I had read great reviews so decided to try it myself. I was not disappointed! The red sauce has a spicy kick which I loved. The waitress informed me it would compared to the green. I added some chorizo on the side along with some toast! The French toast were just perfect not too sweet but super fluffy. The mocha was incredible. This is definitely a spot to check out for breakfast when y97 are ready to grub! Has a cute outside area as well when the weather is perfect ! read more

When I came in I was greeted by a warm smile and an awesome vibe! The food was so good, I am a breakfast burrito fanatic and it definitely hit the spot read more

Down-home café with a little Colorado flair. We came here on the way to the airport and we weren't disappointed. My sister and I both had omelettes. Mine was stuffed with cheese, mushrooms and spinach that was fresh. You get to choose two sides and one that we both chose was chili. When the plate came the chili was a sauce that was absolutely out of this world. It came in a little bowl and was reminiscent of the juice from beans cooked down with a lot of chilies. It was delicious. My only qualm was I felt they should've thrown in a couple of biscuits or toast as an option especially for the price of $12. But overall the breakfast was quite tasty and fresh. The coffee was outstanding in the ambience was friendly and cozy. The big bonus, especially because the weather is so nice in the summer is they have a beautiful little outdoor patio. Just a good hometown feel. read more

Definitely a hole in the wall kind of place. Hard to find as it shares a building with an auto repair and auto body shop. But once you find it, it's a gem. I was one person and got tucked into this corner of the restaurant that was bordered by a wall, so I felt like I was "out of sight, out of mind" a little bit. Took them longer than I felt it should have to get my order, and bring me my check. Aside from that, though....food was excellent. It has a large menu with American food and Mexican food. Seemed like there were lots of spanish speakers in there, so I figured their mexican food had to be pretty good. And it was. I had the chilaquiles with sunny side up eggs. A large platter with homemade tortilla chips that were perfectly crispy and just the right amount of salt. Eggs were great. But the star was the green chili. It's really, REALLY good. Great flavor and the right consistency. Also came with refried beans topped with queso fresco, and pico de gallo in a little cup which I thought was too vinegary. But ask for some Cholula instead and that's a great alternative to put on your chilaquiles. I walked away full and happy. read more

Food was good, service was excellent, parking was awful! Probably won't return as I don't live in the area read more

Service was good and we got to sit outside on a nice day. Food was delicious! I would say the only downside is the parking lot is so small, we just lucked out that someone left right as we were pulling in or else we probably be parking on the street and walking. read more

Shhhh, this is our secret! Happened upon Parkway when we were just visiting Boulder before we moved. We all immediately fell in love with the incredible food & made it one of our first stops when moving her permanently. My husband's favorite is the Migas. Big burst of flavor in every bite. We're all trying to sneak our forks onto his plate for a quick nibble. My favorite is the Parkway Omelette...with a side of pancakes. Can't ask for anything better. The service is great & the atmosphere is like your neighborhood restaurant. Nothing fancy needed...the food speaks for itself. read more

There is a small parking lot behind the building which is where the front door is. At first we thought we were lost since this is off a Main Street and looks like you are going to a car dealership lot. When you walk in, you see a big sign to seat yourself. It was pretty busy on a Sunday morning (best day to go out for breakfast) but good sign that the food was good. We luckily found a table for two quickly. We were waited on within a couple minutes which is great. I got a coffee to start. We had time to review the menu. So many choices and can build your own breakfast in different ways. They had Mexican style breakfasts so had to really figure out what I wanted. I ordered the Migas Cuatro Quesos. Cheese? Yes, please! This dish basically is scrambled eggs over tortilla chips and smothered in cheese and green Chile sauce. Food was out pretty quickly and it was a lot! My BF got the Huevos Rancheros. He ate his whole plate and helped me finished mine. It was delicious! The crunch of the chips was a perfect added texture to the soft cheese and egg. So many good tastes. I also had gotten hash browns as my side option and they were perfectly crisp (they way they should be). I would definitely come back again if I'm in town. So many more options to try! read more

This place was sooooo delicious! We were passing Boulder to go to Estes Park and stopped here for some breakfast. All 3 meals were so filling and savory. Everything (including orange juice) was $45 total. Great price for a lot of good food. I would only say the orange juice tasted a bit weird but maybe it was me? Regardless would come again! read more

This place is great, exactly what you would hope for and expect out of a cafe. Great choices and everything we got was great.

Great food good service! Really good prices. Quick response. Nice Ambiance for a nice quiet meal.

Good service. Food was good variety and tasty. Wait staff kept up with a continual stream of customers.

Great local restaurant for breakfast at a reasonable price with good, friendly, fast service. COVID policies in place with social distancing, mask wearing and disinfecting. Location is a little off the beaten path in an industrial area but there's free parking. I really prefer going to local places versus where the tourists go and the Yelp reviews about Parkway Cafe were right. Great breakfast options with some customization options and a nice Mexican flare. Hope to visit again on my next visit to try the chilaquiles or huevos rancheros. read more

What a find! Great food, great service! And you can always ask for your potatoes to be fried!

YUM! My daughter found this spot for brunch today. Doesn't look like much but the place was filled for a reason. Everything was delicious! My husband loved the breakfast burrito and my mom said the veggie omelet with hollandaise sauce was really delicious. I had the French toast - crispy on the outside, fluffy inside! Try the breakfast croissant sandwich with chorizo!!! read more

A great diner with Mexican egg dishes and fast friendly service. Good, hot diner coffee.

Absolutely delicious green chile, and terrific service. We devoured all three meals, and found ourselves frequently commenting on the tastiness throughout the week. If we lived closer, we'd be there every morning! The waiter gave excellent recommendations based on our questions. read more

I came in on a Sunday morning and the parking lot was packed, so was worried there would be a long wait, but I was seated right away. I ordered the migas cuatro quesos and it was very affordable at $12. The food was good and the service was overall pretty quick. When I ordered, I said that I do need a lot of water when things are spicy, but I didn't get a refill until I was pretty much done. That was the only thing that could've been improved, but overall a good experience. read more

Had Breakfast last week and It was as good as everybody has said. Asked to switch to corn tortillas for the Huevos Ranchero didn't even bat an eyelash. As good s I have had in a long time! Eggs were perfect and the Green Chile is the real deal!! Actually turned out to be closer than The Village Coffee Shop to me ( Which is also great Diner!) I will definitely be back to try some other things. Can't with to go for lunch and try the Club sandwich I hear its as good as one gets. looking forward to return trips! read more

Update: changing from 4 stars to 5. We came back the very next day for chicharrones and to try a burger. The service here just rocks and the food is so good. Not fancy just good down home cafe style food! 5 stars all the way. Hubs and I stopped here after a very sad journey with our sweet pup. It was exactly the pickup we needed. Hubs had the Migas Cuatro Quesos something or other. It was eggs, chorizo, tortilla chips and green chili with a couple different types of cheese. The chili has no heat for us but hey, we eat Asian food like nothing so...but it had some darn good flavor. I had the 3 bfast sides with eggs, grits and mini waffles. I loved it all. We also ordered the spicy chicharones (sp?). They weren't spicy at all but they were really really salty. So we asked for another batch naked. Omgrd they came to the table still popping and 100% delicious. I hope they just serve these naked with the lime salt on the side. That would be perfect!!! All in all we will be back!!!!!! read more

Best steak tacos ever! Friendly staff! Whenever we want a fast and delicious lunch in Boulder, this is our go-to!

Neat spot situated in a place you would least expect but a great location. It was close to our hotel so we decided to give a try. The staff was super friendly, they were wearing masks and sat all guests socially distant. The food was amazing and the portions were HUGE!! We loved it and will be returning for breakfast again while visiting Boulder. There is so many options to recommend they are all good or at least what we ordered. See below the pictures.

My husband and I were visiting from Southern California. A friend invited us to eat here, knowing that we love Mexican food and could not find a good place to eat. Honestly cannot stop thinking about the food here. It was the best Mexican place we have had in Boulder and it's on my top 3 favorite Mexican food places ever. I'm actually coming back to Colorado and stopping by again. It might even be my favorite food in Boulder. I had the chilaquiles and my husband had a burrito. read more

We have been going to the Parkway for years and loved it. Recently, however, it has gone downhill. They can't seem to deliver everyone's meals at the same time and/or everything that should come with the meal. I recently ordered a hamburger and fries, the hamburger was delivered and about 10 minutes later the fries finally showed up. Breakfast toast was delivered cold with the butter on the side. Quality of service has gone downhill also. Hate to see this. read more

While I am happy to see a tried and true local spot doing so well, it still sorta bums me out when I decide to stop-in and it's absolutely swamped. Parkway is and always has been solid. Let's just hope that the overrunning of Boulder and all that goes with it doesn't ruin this place too. Loved it when you had to "know" to know where some low-key and superb spots were. Oh well...the continuing Calitexirado-ing is not going to stop. OK, I'll stop heading down that slippery slope! Parkway is the best (wherever it is - hahaa). read more

Walked over to get a good hearty meal in the belly before a day of brewery hopping. Was seated quickly. Staff was very friendly, even though we had our Sun Devils gear on. Food was fresh and hearty portions. This was a good ole midwestern/mountain town breakfast. Prices super reasonable! Definitely a must visit. read more
