Great atmosphere, great friendly staff. The coffee was perfect in every way from taste to temperature. Little bit of a long wait time for the food but it's worth it. The salads taste fresh and everything is cooked exceptionally. Great spot for breakfast lunch and dinner.

I am local and eat here all the time. They make an awesome bacon and egg biscuit with fresh biscuits! My girlfriend love their classic benedict. If you’re eating here on a weekend, call in your order 30+ mins ahead and you will have no problem.

Bad pastries, cold mac & cheese, dried out rice, I'd rather wait and eat somewhere else or cook at home.

Very nice space. Redeeming feature was the cookie. Service seemed sluggish, lacking direction and uninterested in helping. Waited for unknown amount of min right in front of cash register and had 2 employees look at me and turn their back to me. What vegetarian options? Fresh toast, 1 soup, salad (please,so boring, barely winter fare) and egg burrito is not “so many vegetarian options!” that drew me from reviews. Burrito was not good. Out of all the 8 sandwich options 0 are vegetarian. Would come back, for a cookie but would also recall how bad this service is and hope it’s turned over.

Great food, pretty absurd how much the prices have risen while the portions have dropped over the past year or two. I like to get the “hot Italian” and a side of chili Mac for lunch occasionally. Both the sandwich and the chili Mac come out as half the size they did a year or so ago… and the price has risen from ~$12 to ~$20. Honestly kinda avoiding the place at this point as I don’t feel like I’m getting much for what I am paying.

We stopped for lunch today and were not disappointed! Both the Italian and Monte Cristo sandwiches were wonderful, but the cookies we took to-go were the best!! We always stop at High Mountain Pies when in Leadville but am glad it was closed and were able to discover the Silver Llama!

Ate here after backpacking for a few days and man was it good. The biscuits and gravy were superb with the biscuits being toasted prior to the gravy going on. Also the waffle was amazing.

This place was a wonderful find for us, a pair of travelers passing by this small town and hungry for breakfast. We were happy that they served breakfast so late in the day (1130am) as most places stop serving this earlier. I ordered the biscuits with gravy which were absolutely delicious and fillings and left me very happy indeed. My wife had pancakes which she was craving and was happily satisfied with them too. The coffee was good and it was refillable. The restaurant itself is pretty big. Parking was street parking and I don't think they have their own lot. Service was quick. Overall, a pretty nice place with pretty good food.

Loved this place. A local eatery. Were warned of the wait (with limited staff), but it wasn't bad to slow down and have some good conversation while waiting on our lunch (and we didn't wait that long). Some had breakfast, some had lunch - all were very tasty. Had the salmon eggs benedict - I liked it (if you like salmon & eggs for breakfast). The homemade desserts were also worth it! Brought homemade fudge home for treats.

Ordered a club, got turkey. Terrible roll. Overpriced. Won't go back
