Located in an business park, it's your basic greasy spoon diner. Lots of pancakes and eggs with bacon, burgers and such type eating. While visiting Boulder we went here and it was good, just lacked that Pearl Street Mall area or other more attractive Boulder-esque vibe. Still good and the staff was very nice. read more

The Parkway Cafe - Mecican Hot Chocolate - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Boulder, Colorado

I have been coming to Parkway Cafe for years. It is a little hole in the wall. On the weekends they have different specials and honestly I almost always get one. The menu leans a little more Mexican however they have regular cafe food too. For breakfast I recommend the breakfast enchiladas or the Mexican hash browns. The pancakes are large, almost the size of plate. They serve lunch too. The restaurant is a seat yourself and during peak hours you will wait inline and watch for tables to leave. Parking lot is small and most of the time you will parallel park on the road. The staff is very friendly and will give suggestions. read more

Great food!!! Good service, pleasant atmosphere. Ate there every morning we were in Boulder.

This is a really fun Mexican diner. The menu is typical diner food plus a bunch of Mexican items. The Mexican hot chocolate is amazing! We had the burger and the torta and enjoyed both. read more

Western omelet, hash browns, Parkway omelet, hash browns, toast, coffee on point. The waitress and servers were great. They were very appreciative of us coming to their restaurant. Very cheerful place, indoor and outdoor eating areas with umbrellas and you can take your dog! Be mindful of others and make sure your dog is on a leash. read more

Awesome! A typical "diner" type menu with some regional dishes like Mexican-themed breakfasts. Service is homey and there seem to be a lot of regulars. Parking lot is very tight so that's the biggest issue you'll face. Beyond that, highly recommended for breakfast! read more

This is a very casual and warm breakfast place. It is tucked away on Pearl street on the other side of diagonal highway, in a more industrial area of Pearl st. It is a seat yourself kind of place, and they have a variety of small to large group tables & booths. The staff are responsive immediately, you get drinks asap and a waiter comes by promptly as well. Their menu has a more latin flavor profile to it, with a play on breakfast enchiladas, sopes and burritos as well as the more generic breakfast basics. Everything is seasoned nicely and the salsa's have a decent spice kick to them that elevates them from boring to good. I highly recommend the mexican hot chocolate - you can order it without the churros - it is super delicious !!!! Their parkway potatoes are seasoned with rosemary which is a nice take away from the basic bland potatoes you find elsewhere. They definitely have lots of nice flavor to them. For me, I am especially happy when I eat here because they have a huge variety of vegetarian options with the latin breakfast flavors they offer. They also have a nice array of cheap sides for kids meals, you can get great lil kiddo meal for about $6 or so. Parking is limited in their lot, but there is parking available all up and down Pearl Street. They do have highchairs, but no crayons or other entertainment for the kids so pack some toys if you need it. They do have outdoor seating, but with the cold nobody is heading out there right now. It will make for a lovely breakfast place come spring or summer on their decorated patio tho. I definitely recommend anyone to come and eat here, I think you will really enjoy all the flavors and the cozy atmosphere. read more

Fantastic food, service, and energy. The Migas Cuatro Quesos are to die for and I will 100% return on any day of the week just for another taste. Food came super quick and the staff were incredibly helpful. So happy to have found this spot. Was super busy on a sunday morning, to be expected, and the wait did not leave us disappointed. Cozy, family energy in the restaurant. All in all a 10/10 experience! :) read more

Food is great. The service is excellent. A neighborhood atmosphere. Love breakfast here.

Service was great and they had good coffee and pastries. Close to a lot of amenities too.

This is a hidden gem. Our waitress curly long hair and glasses was great we sat in a little corner in the back my husband and I and the food was great. read more

I really like using Yelp for finding a good Wednesday team lunch location and this one was about as good as it can get. We were greeted immediately and invited to sit wherever we liked. Our waitress was spot on, gave us menus and asked us all right away if we would like anything to drink, coke, tea. Then she was right back with water and gave us the specials, why bother reading the menu. Pork tamale omelet with re-fried beans rice guac etc. or grilled chicken sandwich w/bacon, guac, lettuce, tomato and some special sauce I am sure they made in house on jalapeno corn bread. And yes I spelled that right, it was "bread". Not the traditional cornbread you would think. 5 of us in the group, 1 ordered off the menu, he loves his breakfast for lunch. 3 of us had the tamale omelet and 1 had the chicken sandwich special. I swear, we had our lunch in less than 5 minutes, and all fresh. Next time I'm going to time them, for fun and curiosity. I will be posting a picture of the tamale omelet, so good! All of it was very good and good portions. We all agreed we will be back, and back again, and back again... read more

Service and food is fast. Chimichanga plate was a nice size and was delicious. Wished the chimichanga was crispier and felt it being a little soggy. Overall, food was on point. Everything is made fresh and you can taste it in the salsa and guacamole. read more

The Parkway Cafe - Chimichanga - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Boulder, Colorado

One of the few real and unpretentious restaurants in Boulder with a basic menu, no frills, inexpensive. The BLT with avocado is very good, as are the fries. It reminds me of Boulder in the 70s when the middle class and hippies actually outnumbered BMWs and Porsches. Pam L. read more

Going here is a standard affair when when I visit Boulder. The food is tasty and a healthy portion size. The wait staff is super friendly. The place is clean and the decoration is a-OK. I've only been there for breakfast or more accurately late breakfast/brunch so I can only speak to the deliciousness of the most important meal of the day. The restaurant is a little off the beaten path on a side road, so it could be missed if you aren't looking for it. Don't let that happen; you are going to want to go there for a cup of joe and some flapjacks or french toast. read more

Ate there twice during one stay in Boulder. Papas, Pancakes, eggs and coffee were excellent! Service was kind and prompt. I'll be back!

Best bang for your buck. I LOVE supporting this local business. Everyone working here is genuine and takes take to insure your order comes out how your ordered it! Eat here! Tasty food. Good people! read more

The Parkway Cafe - Veggie Benedict add bacon, and then Mexican nachos with chili sauce on the side - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Boulder, Colorado

Used to be the best place for a delicious meal, they had it all, great food, great service and great employees. Not anymore, sadly the food is hit or miss, eggs are always overcooked, pancakes cold and stale, bacon limp and greasy. They used to have a staff that was exemplary in their professionalism, friendliness and competence, not anymore. The staff are moody, unfriendly and often mess up the order and never return to correct anything. After over 25 years of patronage, my family refuses to go here any longer, the downward decline has been swift and dramatic. Clearly the ownership does not care about customer satisfaction, and it shows read more

The Parkway Cafe has great service, clean restrooms, and offers some Vegan options which I appreciate. I had the Beyond Meat Burger with chilies and coffee. The staff is very friendly and I appreciate the outdoor patio with umbrellas. I brought my chihuahua with me one morning, and I have seen other dogs, so they are pet friendly. It is a convenient walk from Devon's Car Care after I drop off my car for service. read more

Love this place!!! Best ranch and green chili fries. Reminds me of how Boulder use to be.

If you are looking for a classic big hearty breakfast with lots of Mexican food options in an off the beaten path funky location, this is the place ! It's kinda an "Old Boulder" secret, set off of 47th and Old Pearl . The place is always jammin and has nice outdoor seating to boot . Lots of working ppl stop in for the 7-8am $5.95 breakfast and lots of groups of friends later morning . Hungry students spotted here with big platefuls with a side of their delish blueberry pancakes . read more

Solid, hearty, priced right. Enjoyed the daily breakfast special of hash browns, green chili's and two eggs. Added chorizo for an extra $1. Hash browns cooked to perfection, with lots of crispy edges. Both the green chili and chorizo added a flavorful kick to this staple dish. Throw in great service, an interesting setting in industrial/warehouse section of Boulder and classic antique photo of the Miss California beauty pageant in the men's bathroom. All good. read more

The Parkway Cafe - Outdoor patio provides a perfect spot for breakfast. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Boulder, Colorado

A perfect local spot. Anyone is welcome, but it's nice to have somewhere that will always have a table available.

Highly recommend. The Cafe doesn't look like much but their food is out of this world. Our breakfast meals were delicious. The service was outstanding. read more

We planned a (rock) climbing trip to Colorado. Due to a snow storm, we ended up breakfasting about as much as climbing. This was, by far, our favorite place to breakfast. Service was greasy-spoon-sassy-lady-diner quality. Your coffee will NEVER run dry. But, like so many delightful spots in Colorado, the food had a Coloardexican-twist. Dishes included stuff that's not as common outside mountain states/the SW: green chilies, salsas, tortillas, etc. I love this type of fusion. Someone bring this to Alaska, kthxbye. read more

Very good place to have Mexican breakfast, I did really enjoy eating here I came 3 day hehehe, well I did like is so that's why, I had the Migas 3 Chesses and then next day enchiladas rojas. VERYYYYYY GOOD flavors, prices a great and portion very big. Coffee not the best but it's ok. I think they just need to do something with their decoration and pay attention to details around, it's hard to see the restaurant even tho they have a lot of customers. read more

A great hidden place for breakfast in Boulder. Visited this place on a Sunday around 8:05 and almost more than half the place was occupied l (even though they open at 8:00am!) we noticed that the customers were mostly elderly, I guess young people tend to sleep late on Sundays. You seat yourself so make sure you arrive before 8:15am given by that time the place was fully occupied and people had to wait. My wife got the Boulder omelette and I got the veggie Benedict. Both were good and they were over generous with the hollandaise sauce. As a side order I went the the french toast and my wife went with slices of tomatoes and cottage cheese. The french toast was standard. Food portions were large! They were really generous with the coffee too. Whenever it's half full they would ask you if you want a refill. Overall a great place to have a quick breakfast. Here are my ratings for the dishes I had: Veggie Benedict: 8/10 French toast: 7/10 read more

Pleasantly surprised the food was good. First time here everything was perfect- eggs perfectly cooked, grits were the perfect consistency. Omelettes also were fantastic. Second and third time we're ok. French toast seems pre-made, maybe frozen, not really flavorful. Grits the next two visits were runny and not fully done yet. Eggs were also undercooked. Not sure when they get their deliveries but they were also out of oatmilk on a few occasions. I'm always surprised when places don't adjust their ordering considering it's the number one ordered plant milk nationally. Service is stellar, breakfast food is inconsistent. Friend who ordered a Cuban said it was delicious, also it was massive! read more

Came here a few days ago with the family to fuel up before heading out of town. It's a no-frills breakfast place in an industrial area of Boulder. While they have many items on their menu, and some vegetarian, it's of the heavy carbo-load type - breads, potatoes, pancakes, french toast variety. We ended up ordering: -Tall stack of buttermilk pancakes -Scrambled eggs and hash browns -Fruit cup and hash browns -Two eggs over easy with hash browns All of it was cooked sufficiently and service was okay. There was nothing extraordinary about the experience and I have no idea why it's rated so highly. read more

While visiting from out of town, my wife and I were on the prowl for a good breakfast place. We found it! The Parkway Cafe is delicious and just what we were looking for. The location is a bit odd, in an industrial park area. But it was easy to get to (right off Pearl street) and not far from all the Pearl street festivities. Service is wonderful and quick. The ambiance is casual and friendly. We will return! read more

I forgot how great this place is. Easy to get a table, super nice staff and a big menu with *green chile*! (Hard to find in Boulder). I had the Mexican Hashbrowns and hot chocolate with churros!! Yay me!! read more

We met Alfredo when we went to Il pastaio for dinner last night. We loved all of his recommendations so much, we came to The Parkway Cafe based on his recommendation as well. We had the chilaquiles Roja and the Boulder omelette with parkway potatoes and the French toast. They were both so delicious but if you are ordering just one meal, I'd pick the chilaquiles! In addition to the food being so great, the hospitality was amazing and the place is so welcoming with a very homey and cozy interior. read more

A real hidden gem. Had their Cubano Sandwich w/ onion rings + they were OUTSTANDING. Just like the sandwiches made in Florida. All I can say is WOW!!!!

The Parkway Cafe - Eggs Benedict swimming in hollandaise - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Boulder, Colorado

I've been coming here for years. I love so many things about this place. First off, the food is classic cafe food with many items having a Mexican/Colorado twist. When you look around, absolutely every dish looks perfect. Second, the service. Truly, you won't find better service in Boulder. The waitstaff here is top notch, friendly, efficient, helpful, and kind. Third, the Vibe! Remember when you grandparents would take you to their favorite cafe, the same one they visit once per week without fail. This is THAT place, the place where all the old folks in Boulder frequent. And mixed in among them, you find the young people too who have come to appreciate the old fashioned version of hospitality in a town which grew up and got seriously urban real quick. Also, so grateful for the affordability! This is one of the few places in Boulder where you won't have a $60 breakfast bill! Do yourself a favor and go to the Parkway. Mexican Hashbrowns is my go to. read more

Even during the lunch rush, we were seated, had waters/silverware, and a server at our table within 2 minutes! The staff were very quick and friendly. Probably some of the best service I've had.

We definitely picked a great place for lunch on our visit to Colorado! read more
