When I tell you KAREN had the best service that I've had in a minute in boulder I'm bein so fo real. Not only that but the host as well forgive me for not remembering her name, was absolutely amazing as well. Maybe it was a good day maybe they are just a great restaurant. Me and my friend were STARVING and were out within 20 min so happy. I love you Karen tell Karen she's the nicest more genuine Karen I ever met. You guys fkn rock!!!! read more

This is a great spot for lunch on a week day. It was really crowded, but we were able to get a spot outside on their front patio. Highly recommend the chicken salad sandwich. The food is really fresh and quick; service is great. Parking is a bit tough when it's especially busy - plan ahead to add some extra time. read more

I've been to the Walnut Cafe a few times and it's always been great! The service is always so friendly and welcoming. The food is delicious and not overpriced! My roommate is strict GF and she's never had issues here unlike with some other places who claim to have GF options. Love this place for a nice and casual breakfast/brunch! read more

I LOVE the wide variety of their vegetarian/vegan plates. I ordered Tempeh Skillet with banana nut bread on the side. I was really filling and it had, if I'm not mistaken, eggs and cheese mixed in which made it even more delicious! Their staff are very attentive and caring; pretty much everyone is there to help you. My friend ordered Denver omellete which he also enjoyed. We both got coffee on the side; I must the coffee was very fresh, but overall we had a nice experience. read more

Love, love, love the big dill eggs or rather the dill sauce haha. Whiles these aren't for everyone, they are yummy delicious to me. Their breakfast menu is great for the eclectic soul as they put their own unique touch on traditional favorites. Worth a morning out with friends. read more

Fantastic Cafe with some nice outdoor seating. Staff was very friendly and service was quick. The Duzer special burrito is tasty and an exceptional value. We were there on a Tuesday and parking was good, but I can imagine it being a bit popular at other times. read more

There were 5 of us that went to breakfast when we arrived in Boulder. Great seating, great menu selection. Our server came out and took our order and explained any questions that we had. I order the daily quiche with fruit and a side of banana nut bread. The quiche was very flavorful, the fruit fresh, but the banana nut bread was very dry. I'm guessing they slice it early and it sits until its ordered. My girlfriend got an egg dish with the blueberry cornbread which was delicious. All of our food came in a timely manner and it was all good. The service was outstanding too. They are able to itemize your bill easily. Looking forward to eating here again soon! read more

We came here specifically because it was rated as a dog friendly restaurant, as we have a new rescue puppy that we need to have with us. We specifically told the hostess that we had a dog and would like to sit outside where he could be accommodated. We ended up being sat in an area very close to other tables where our dog was easily distracted and stressed by other customers and was heavily trafficked with wait staff. It was fine by us, as we expected that this was an area that was okay for dogs. Soon after we sat down the hostess approached us saying our dog was in the way and asked us to keep him closer. We tried our best to be respectful and do this. However, we were approached two more times by her asking us to keep moving ourselves and our dog. Soon after this I realized we were literally sat in a section where no dogs were allowed. There was actually a sign hung up that said no dogs were allowed (which makes sense because it was such a busy area). Clearly the hostess made a mistake with seating us in this area and then made us feel bad about this mistake. Besides that nerve-wracking experience though, we had a lovely server and the food was good. read more

Got their Sloppy Joes. Very different in that so many recipes are too sweet. This was just the right balance of flavors. Sis got the quiche of the day, and enjoyed it as well. Wish they were closer, as I would definitely go again. read more

Not too impressed with our breakfast at Walnut Cafe. We went about 9:00 on a Wednesday morning and were seated immediately. The restaurant was only about half full but it still took almost 10 minutes for a waitress to bring menus and offer coffee. She was friendly and apologetic about the delay. This was, unfortunately, to be a trend throughout our meal. I ordered a basic American breakfast - 2 eggs sunny side up with breakfast potatoes and fresh fruit. I also added a side of green chile. The food came out fairly quickly so it was surprising that it was not hot. The potatoes were bland, room temperature and not crispy at all. The eggs were overlooked. The green chile was flavorful but mild. The best part was the fruit bowl, which had a nice variety. My wife had scrambled eggs with French toast and fruit cup. Her rating was pretty much the same as mine. The waitress came by once, when we were almost done eating, noticed our coffees were empty, apologized and eventually brought more. She was nice enough but the service was not great. Walnut Cafe is the kind of place I want to like - casual, friendly, local. Unfortunately, they didn't deliver us a good breakfast so probably not on my return list. read more

I've been coming to this place for several years at this point. The food is tasty, coffee decent, atmosphere is cozy. my lack of stars is because the service almost every time I come in is lackluster at best. the Staff is friendly enough but I've been at my table several times- 5mins or longer without being greeted by my server- only a water set down in front of me. when it's busy, I can completely understand- but this hasn't been the case the times noted. in fact, several servers walked past without saying a word to me- not even a "someone will be right with you" ironically enough the service for checking me out was exceptional- i had 3 people prompt to collect my money,check me out, and turn the table. Literally- I had two separate checks from two different servers with my bill placed on my table Waiting to be checked out. def a decent spot with a lot of upside of they can focus a little more on the customers experience read more

We were driving up to Lyons from Denver and stopped in Boulder to grab breakfast. Glad we found this place! We called in a take out order from the parking lot and sat at one of the socially distanced tables on the patio while we waited. All servers were wearing mask and tables were sanitized and cleaned. It took about 10 minutes for the food to be ready. When I went inside to pick up the food, I was helped right away. While I was waiting for the waitress to bag up the food, at least 3 other workers asked if I had been helped already. I had the cinnamon roll and it was amazing. The workers inside kept referring to it as a "sweet roll" and I think this is a better description than a cinnamon roll. They give you a little cup of icing that you pour on the roll and it is the most incredible icing. 10/10 recommend the sweet roll. My friends had the breakfast sandwich and French toast. They said they would get them again so they must have been good. read more

We were in town last Sunday and stopped by in search of a filling brunch. We were seated quickly and the foods came pretty fast though the place was hoppin'. I ordered the avocado omelette with home fries and biscuit on the side while my husband got the pancake battered French toast. The omelette was cooked well and stuffed with seasoned and mashed fresh avocado. I may recommend some sort of textural element be added in the future just so that it's not soft on soft on soft (amateurs suggestion). The biscuit was huge since the dough looked to have been baked in a sheet pan then cut into large squares. My husband said the French toast was excellent! I wish we had a fast and reliable breakfast place like this in Orlando! Would go back if we found ourselves in the area again. read more

I love cream cheese so much that I can go to Costco, get their 5-pounder cream cheese and eat it all in 10 days flat. You touch my cream cheese, you die. I'm a dipper so The Walnut's Eggs Marcos with cheddar, cream cheese, and bacon makes me wild because I can order two sides... Any of which I can chose. So usually I just get two orders of bread so that I can dip my toast into the cholesterol mess and let the melted cream cheese drip down my mouth like... Well, anyway, I just let myself get all messy and yummy and let the tabsters stare... There is always a wait for a table for brunch... But this is one meal at one place that I will never bend under pressure when tabsters try to scare you out... The Walnut Cafe on the south side of town is cuter but both are equally as busy, so come early or come prepared. * Star one is for breakfast food... Slather it on and make me lick it off ** Old style star two is for keeping the local independent food joints hopin', popular and delicious *** Slice it up star three is for Walnut's yummy pies... I can never just pick one slice! **** Enjoy the sun star four is for cool outdoor seating read more

First time here and WOW. Really impressed!! Everything was so delicious. My friend and I got this vanilla iced coffee with some sort of secret ingredient (still don't know what it is), but it was well worth the anticipation. I got the (ready for this.. drum roll please..) BANANA CHOCOLATE CHIP GRANOLA PANCAKES. Really hit the spot! My friend got a sandwich that looked (and it was) wonderful. The service was great. It was a little crowded but what can you expect on a Saturday morning? I just wanted to compliment the menu because on the front, it had a picture of all of the staff members which I thought was really unique. There was outside seating and the noise level was perfect. The staff was friendly and actually very timely considering the amount of p read more

Yummy lunch. No real complaints, but there was a little confusion with my friend ordering. Didn't really seem to have the phone ordering process figured out. read more

Came here to pick up a pie for a coworkers birthday. Her favorite place for pie is walnut cafe. Walking in to pick up the order for peach pie, I saw the pies of the day and impulsively bought a slice of the oatmeal chocolate chip pie as well as the crack pie. Everything was delicious. I'm addicted. The crack pie is so buttery and perfect. I'm stopping here for a pie once a week!! Ok maybe my body would hate me for that, but this place was so delicious...imagine if I had ordered food here! read more

Love this breakfast spot. Their Sunrise Sandwich is incredible. I eat here at least twice a week.

They were super friendly staff and really quick with our food. Totally made my weekend! The sticky roll in particular was to die for. read more

Walnut Cafe - Heart melt sandwich - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Boulder, Colorado

I used to love this place. Was a go-to solid breakfast place. Lattes and omelettes are tasty. That said, they've started charging an extra % fee on every check without notice in advance. When I asked the server what the fee was for, she invented a "it's a boulder credit card fee", though this was a lie as no such thing exists. If Walnut's owners had the courtesy of admitting they're fattening checks after the fact without disclosure to customers, they'd at least show courtesy of integrity. It's ok though. There's lots of tasty breakfast places in this town. read more

Good prices! Lots of vegetarian options. Service was a little on the slower side today but they were training new people. It was such a nice day outside it was hard to be mad. read more

The weather sort of flipped out plans a little bit so instead of eating in the freezing rain at the farmer's market we opted for some warmth. There were a number of good options for a late breakfast but ultimately we settled on this one. From the second we walked in, the staff was super friendly. It didn't take very long to get seated although it seemed like we'd wait forever. We went for the special - chorizo scramble. It was definitely a great choice - loved the dish, the guac, the potatoes. It all worked and was very satisfying. It's one thing to have good food but when you have a friendly, helpful staff to go along with it that just makes you want to come back again. read more

This place is located smack-dab in the middle of a strip on Walnut and 30th. There is outdoor and indoor seating for when the sun is awake. There was no wait when came here to meet a friend here on a Thursday morning around 9am. I ordered the Artichoke and Swiss omelette with potatoes and blueberry cornbread as my two sides. There's something you have to know about this place. When you ask for an Artichoke and Swiss omelette here, you get an omelette packed with artichoke-y goodness. And when I say packed, I mean stuffed 'til the egg is bursting at the seams. Taste wise, the omelette was great; I mean, it was stuffed with artichoke hearts, what's not great about that? The potatoes were equally delicious and cooked to perfection. The blueberry cornbread was very rich and very delicious. The blueberries added just enough sweetness to the cornbread, and gave it a fresher, lighter taste; I thoroughly enjoyed it. The price was standard (~$11 w/ tip) and the service was average. Overall, a solid breakfast place in Boulder. read more

Great food in Boulder. Wonderful service. Traditional breakfast. Sat outside. Busy place.

6/28/2020 - Coronavirus update: facility had an airflow study done inside the restaurant and hung curtains and barriers to protect their patrons. Employees are being responsible with masks ans face shields and requiring patrons to wear masks if not seated.. I've always loved this place. Great service and delicious food. The coffee bar is awesome and their pie is fabulous. read more

Best breakfast in the "world." Honestly! unique yet homey menu with excellent service (Our server was Kara And you could see her smile behind her mask.) You can sit outside and see the mountains. Food is always delivered hot and quickly. Uplifting Boulder ambience. read more

We had to make a trip into Boulder this morning and happened upon this breakfast gem. Menu is loaded with options to suit any appetite. Great funky vibe. I ordered the Plain Jane scramble with veggies. It came out as an omelette instead, but was so tasty and fresh that I'm not taking any points off. Sides of grits and fresh fruit rounded out my meal nicely. My husband ordered the eggs, sausage and French Toast. It came with scrumptious home fried potatoes. I don't know what seasonings they put on these things but they hit a home run here!The French Toast was light and had a sweet crunch. Beware, the coffee is quite strong, though! read more

Delicious food and welcoming atmosphere and the servers are just amazing they are very patient and happy to answer any questions you have 10/10 would recommend read more

YOU HAVE THE TRY THIS PLACE! Yes, it is that GREAT and deserves recognition. I actually accidently went here. I was planning to grab breakfast at a nearby restaurant that was way too packed. We were driving and I spotted this place. Everything about this experience was great! We decided to join many others and sit outside for our meal. They seated us underneath the heater which was great. I was worried that my daughter might get a bit chilly. Then they offered us blankets! Yes, they have blankets readily available for those that decide to sit outside to enjoy the sunshine! I ordered the Skip Scramble which came with vegan sausage. The BEST vegan sausage I have EVER had. It was crispy on the outside and tasted sooo flavorful! I'm still thinking about how great it tasted. I like the fact that they let you choose from a lot of great breakfast sides. I had the breakfast potatoes and banana bread. So Yummy! OHHHH...and they also have an espresso bar! I ordered the Boulder latte with almond milk. (Vanilla, honey, cinnamon, and almond milk) Our food arrived quickly, our server always came at the appropriate times, the service from all employees was AWESOME, and the food was delicious. I'm already looking forward to coming back again. read more

Pretty tasty overall. I'm eating dairy/gluten free right now, and I was able to get the veggie omelette without cheese and the GF pancake, which was particularly good. They also had GF French toast and GF waffles. They don't allow dogs next to you on the patio, but they do have bike racks where dogs can be tied up. We saw lots of pups playing together. We will definitely bring our new pooch once she is more socialized. read more

Great breakfast joint! Friendly staff...during our visit the we're dressed as their favorite superheroes. The portions are large andd the choices plentiful. I like the burrito and the French Toast options. read more

This place is a good if you're looking for decent breakfast at a low price. I ordered a veggie omelet, banana bread, and potatoes. The potatoes were a little spicy, but soo good. Loved them! The omelet was good too, nothing special. The worst part was definitely the banana bread. I was so excited for it, but it came to my plate cold and a little hard. So disappointing. read more

I can't post a review on the food as I never got to try it. It was crazy busy as expected on a Saturday AM but when we walked in to put our names down it wasn't clear where we needed to go. Several employees walked past us and not one person acknowledged us in any way. We would've gladly waited but being ignored by several employees is unacceptable. Bummer, as I was really looking forward to eating there. Guess I'll just stick to LePeep where everyone is super friendly... and greets you. read more

We had come through Bolder to see my nephew and niece, On the morning we was to leave my nephew called and asked if we could meet for breakfast. This gave me a chance to see him before we left heading for Colorado Springs. I know nothing of their other food but breakfast is extremely good. Priced right and one of the biggest selections I have seen anywhere. Go There and eat breakfast for sure. If you can think of it they have it. Service was good not great. Seating on the patio was at plastic picnic tables. Nothing fancy. Just a great place to sit talk and have a good meal. You are missing out if you don't go see them. read more

On my first visit to Walnut Cafe and the staff knew we weren't regulars. Then I looked up and saw a Customer of the Month sign similar to most restaurants' Employee of the Month signs. On the way out on my first visit, the owner asked if we were converted to regulars. I was a regular for my quick visit to Boulder. I had a "We're All Nuts" waffle and it was good, but I've had better. The quiche my table mate had was fresh and yummy. The coffee was tasty and their full coffee bar was staffed with highy skilled baristas. They have a very long list of specialty coffee drinks, and the cappuccino we had was excellent. On my second visit, I had the Boulder Scramble, which was delicious and I highly recommend it. The Dana's Tempeh Skillet my companion had was OK but a little greasy. The banana nut bread, blueberry cornbread, and breakfast potatoes are very tasty, and I could probably eat a meal of just side items at Walnut Cafe. The staff is friendly and hard working, so even on busy days you won't drink your coffee dry or wait too long for food. The prices are quite reasonable and a much better bargain than some of the touristy places in Boulder. I can see why this place has so many regulars! read more

We had a late breakfast at the Walnut Cafe. My wife and son had the breakfast burrito, I had eggs. Both dishes were good; the burritos were large and filling. Knowing that the restaurant is known for its pie I decided to try a slice of coconut cream. It was very disappointing. The crust was hard and not flaky and the coconut custard left a lot to be desired. The service was good. read more

I really couldn't recommend this place enough! Do yourself a favor and stop by here if you're in Boulder, you won't regret it read more
