Amazing place, does serve dinner. We received a very warm welcome, everyone came and talked with us. Food is simple but delicious. I will 100% recommend this place. And last but not the least beautiful decorations with a lot of positive vibes.

Great spot for some great breakfast! Trick is just to find a time when they’re open as their google info isn’t correct. The staff are really helpful and friendly. They have a wide selection of good foods and drinks. The menu on their website looks different to their menu in the store.

Wonderful place! Nicely decorated and good food. The person who took our order seemed to have an attitude but everyone has off days so we placed our orders and sat down. The rest of the staff seemed nice and there were games upstairs we could play while we waited. I did see into the kitchen on the way to the restroom which rose some sanitation concerns regarding food handling but overall not a big deal.

We came in for the soft opening of their new dinner menu and weren't disappointed. The salad and soup were very delicious and unique. The Chicken Alfredo got the thumbs up approval from my wife (a distinguished honor) and my mushroom ravioli was very good too. The staff was friendly and kept the place upbeat and fun while also being very helpful. All in all it was a pleasure to dine with the Silver Llama.

I wish that I would have been more fully in vacay mode, but I was passing through to catch a flight. Leadville is gorgeous and deserved a slower state of mind from me.
That said, ordered the smoked salmon avocado toast and a drip coffee. Both were awesome! The coffee was handed to me, so I got to work on that ASAP. The toast took 15ish minutes which I found strange, given how empty the place was and how easy the dish should have been to prepare. Maybe they were short-handed or had inexperienced staff.
That said, I really enjoyed the dish. I love a salad with my breakfast. I wish it had been properly tossed; the dressing was mostly underneath the greens.
The "toast" was a pretty hefty, crusty roll; I usually get something thinner and well toasted.
It was a lovely sunny morning in Leadville and I ate on the patio. I will come again when I am in Leadville.

Ate breakfast there three days in a row durning our stay in Leadville. It was excellent so good. Highly highly recommend the eggs Benedict or waffle breakfast both super good. Be warned that the waffles are really sweet which is one of the reasons I loved them

“This place is awesome” is right! The food was amazing and the staff is some of the most friendly people. It’s a bit more expensive and portions are smaller, but go for the more interesting meals (not the classic diner plates - I.e. eggs, potatoes, meat) and you will not be disappointed.
I had the savory French toast - fig jam, chèvre, and rosemary toast. Never had anything like it, and it was amazing! The “breakfast greens” that came with it were a pleasant surprise as they were an actually yummy side salad, with nuts, fruit and bomb dressing - had everything!
The fancy coffee drinks were excellent too!

Very good spot for lunch and breakfast! Breakfast is served all day. Great views to people watch out front. The philly cheese was 4.4. The chilly Mac side was 5.0! Short of staff August 2021, plan on 30 mins wait for food.
Oh the peach turnover was 10 outta 10!!!

Nice little spot for some all day breakfast. The wait is a bit long but the food is good, and the atmosphere is really chill. Salmon avocado toast was light and tasty.

This place is great! One of those places where you order at the front, take your number and find a seat. Excellent classic Benedict and great coffee. Also just a cool vibe in the place. Will definitely be back!
