Such a good breakfast spot! The menu is very diverse , so you can find just about anything to suit your taste and mood. The breakfast burrito with green chilies and pepper jack is fire! You can’t go wrong with any of their baked goods, either.
If you’re comi my through Leadville and need breakfast, then come here!

Seems to be having a management/staffing issue.
Service is slow, parts of order missed. Home fries undercooked and waffles are insanely (gross actually) sweet.

Had breakfast here - the so-called "Big Breakfast" plus pancakes on the side. Not sure how this place got raving reviews on the food - it's not bad, but it's also no where near "great". This is not a full service restaurant - you place order at the register and your food is brought to your table - that's about the extent of the service. Coffee refills, condiments, etc are available in a central location. Obviously not enough salt n pepper shakers available, as I had another customer walk to my table and ask if I was done using them. The lady at the register wasn't rude however she definitely didn't fit the description of a "hospitality" employee - very rushed, short, almost like placing an order with a robot... except this robot didn't ask if I wanted anything to drink with my order... when I let the robot know I forgot to include coffee, it seemed more human-like as I detected a bit of annoyance upon asking to add the coffee. Then there's the audacity of asking for a tip at the time you place the order and pay?? lol - jeez.
The only thing that seemed better than average here was the biscuits n gravy.

Everything was just okay. Savory French toast was not savory.. biscuits and gravy was a bit salty like me after eating this meal. It was cheap enough though.

We were warned of the wait, which was fine with us. We were not warned that when we finally got our food, almost an hour later, it would be cold and subpar. The green chile mac and cheese was not even room temp. The sprinkling of shredded cheese on top wasn't melted at all. The grilled cheese was not melted. The bacon breakfast burrito was cold and had no bacon. It's one thing to sign on for a wait. Quite another when the wait yields only cold, not good food. I added the extra star for one super nice server and the location - great to watch people.

We stopped in for an early lunch and were served promptly. The food was delicious! One of us got the Brie, turkey, bacon and raspberry sandwich which turned out to be like a handheld thanksgiving in a. The brie was melted perfectly, raspberry sauce added tang, and when combined with the smokiness of the bacon resulted in a 10/10 for texture and flavor. We shared the green chili mac n cheese too. The cheese sauce was smooth, noodles were soft cooked, and the green chili was a good amount of spice..... not too hot for pleasurable eating. I had the chicken gyro sandwich with feisty feta spread. Also delicious with lots of veggies for crunch. We both enjoyed the entire meal! We will be back soon and I’m sure frequently.
The decor in the place was modern with an eclectic touch. The restaurant along with the bathrooms were kept clean. Very well decorated and welcoming. Can’t wait to try more from them.
Oh yeah, there were many sweets to choose from. The fudge, cookies, and doughnuts were the perfect for a post meal sweet tooth.

Started out great. Bad attitude from two staff, one being the manager. Weird combativeness when asked to partial refund an item that didn’t come out for 30+ minutes. We had an appointment at a shop down the way and couldn’t wait. Sour end to a decent meal. Food and coffee were good

I'm writing this as I'm waiting for two toasted bagels to go. We placed our order 25 minutes ago. No bagel is worth this wait. Especially two bagels that end up being over $10 before tip.
ETA: they also got the order wrong.

Leadville local, thought we'd try the place. We usually cook breakfast at home. Coffee was cold, we got eggs benedict that was served with hard bolied eggs and biscuits and gravy that had flat biscuits and what tasted like brown packet gravy that was also ice cold. Would not recommend. Would not go back.
