Not actually open when they say they are. Tried to order online and it said restaurant closed. Tried to call and no one answered. Google listing says they're open. One star for not updating your Google listing to reflect your actual hours.

Ate the food, but I don't think I'll be making this a stop next time in Leadville. warning TLDR
First they ask for tips, yet it's a self-serving place. I don't understand this. Like at all. You can get the same level of service from the staff at Panera. Plus the staff looked bored lethargic. Tips are for those who make below minimum wage to encourage better service. At one point, there was a staff member in the bathroom, just sitting on the stall on his phone, making people wait. It's rude, inconsiderate and lazy. Take the tips away until your staff can at least be present for the customers.
Second the price was too high for the quality, salads are wilted, and eggs are DRY. Asking 16.00 for a breakfast plate, I expect GOOD food. It was definitely food but for that price no way hun. And again asking for tips. Nope. Disrespectful to customers.
Third, the place has an air of feeling updated, but rundown at the same time. Almost every table wobbled extensively (to the point of drinks getting knocked over) and asked a staff member if none of them did and she even expressed her distaste for the conditions. One would think with those prices you would be able to sustain a proper dining experience, but not here.

Second time...
- If you're willing to wait 30 - 47 minutes and not "drink" the extra coffee while you are waiting for your order(no one comes and asks if you want extra coffee or something else,) and
- if you order Classic Benedict and don't mind having two eggs cooked differently (over easy and well done) on your plate, and
- on top of all that, pay a pretty high price,
This is a great breakfast place in Leadville if you don't care what I mentioned above!
Suggestion: Saturday and Sunday are busy!

Nice spot! Great for working from since they have a separate upstairs area. Cool vibe and comfortable

Super cute place. Modern, clean and really friendly folks. Oh, and the breakfast and baked goods are amazing too! Definitely give it a try!

Had a delicious breakfast here - I got the biscuits & gravy. Service was fast even though the weekend was busy and we got a genuine thank you from either the chef or owner. Wish they had an espresso machine for different coffee options.

Great spot for a bite while stopping through. I enjoyed the salmon eggs benedict.

Bad service and bad food. Took an hour or more to get our food. They brought our sides out before entrees and then the food was over cooked and cold. I would not recommend. Will not be eating here again . The food quality is also bad for the amount of money they are asking. Gas station hot dog would have been a better choice

Cute atmosphere but the food was mediocre. Eggs were overcooked multiple ways, biscuits and gravy was super salty, and the coffee was weak. When we received our food we were told the last part of our meal we getting finished and it never arrived.

Really nice and relaxed environment with beautiful local art all around the restaurant and very comfortable seating. The staff were all very friendly and the food was delicious. Only downside was there was a decently long wait for the food, but the environment made it a pleasant wait.
