The Buff moved across the street from its original location in January 2014, but it’s still wildly popular with students, locals and tourists alike. The casual Buff Restaurant is one of Boulder’s most popular breakfast and lunch spots. On the weekends, the place is packed, so expect a wait. The food is worth the wait, […]
Breakfast/Brunch in Denver

It’s hard to miss the chuckwagon-style drive-up just east of Kipling on 44th Avenue in Wheat Ridge — especially in the mornings, when there’s a crowd clamoring for the cheap but filling breakfast burritos that Big Mama’s is known for. The eatery opens early and closes by 2 p.m., catering exclusively to breakfast and lunch […]
Almost everyone at DJ’s seems to be a friend, a regular — making the Sunday morning or afternoon pilgrimage for eggs and coffee and slabs of French toast stuffed with peanut butter and jelly. They wave to each other, gossip with their waitresses, with the owners — brothers Jason and Devin Stallings — who are […]
Duffeyroll Cafe had its humble beginnings as a cinnamon-roll-peddling pushcart on the 16th Street Mall; it’s since grown into a Colorado chain with three brick-and-mortar locations, two in metro Denver and one in Englewood. Each Duffeyroll Cafe has a neighborhood-brunch-spot feel, and although the menu offers breakfast items, soups, sandwiches, wraps and salads, it’s still […]
Tin Star is a small storefront cafe mixed in among all the other small storefront cafes, bars, art galleries and purveyors of knickknackery that shoulder up along Evergreen’s high street. It’s a nondescript space — but it happens to house the perfect restaurant concept. Because Tin Star serves only two things: barbecue and doughnuts, both […]

Located within walking distance of Littleton’s picturesque downtown area, Toast is a popular breakfast-lunch-brunch stop for local families and tourists dropping in for a bite to eat. It’s best known for the French toast and pancake selection (which include any number of toppings, from fruit to chocolate), but there are also savory items on the […]
Brothers Adam and Jon Schlegel launched Snooze on a then-destitute block of Larimer Street in 2006 as a late-night breakfast joint before switching to more traditional breakfast and lunch hours. Denver embraced the first Snooze with such vigor that the stains of spilled coffee and Bloody Marys are visible on the sidewalks outside – if […]
From its early days as an East Colfax hipster bar to its current configuration of breakfast joint, pizzeria and retro-swank watering hole, Atomic Cowboy/Denver Biscuit Co./Fat Sully’s Pizza has evolved into one of Denver’s most gleefully indulgent stops for wallowing in comfort food and whiling away hours with friends. Not content to cater just to […]
Open daily for breakfast and lunch only, this Louisiana-inspired favorite got its start in Boulder in 1980 and now has six locations in Colorado. Your experience here comes with a dash of Creole country kitsch, with knickknacks hanging from the walls and silverware wrapped in brightly colored fabric. Start with powdered sugar-covered beignets and your […]

No one does breakfast quite like this quasi-cafeteria-style diner where the bacon-and-egg sandwiches are always greasy, the coffee’s always hot, and the waitstaff is non-existent because of the order-wait-and-pick-up style of service. Johnny’s has been a fixture in Aurora’s Korea-town for years, its popularity buoyed by cheap blue-plate specials, generous portions, decent food, better company […]
While the diner scene has dwindled in Denver in recent years, the pancake-flipping neon chef above Pete’s Kitchen remains a beacon on East Colfax for those who need to sate their hunger in the darkest hours of the night – on weekends, at least, when the eatery keeps the grill hot all day and overnight […]
The Original Pancake House isn’t your average chain restaurant: It’s been family-owned (with that family now into its third generation) since 1953. In that time, it’s won a James Beard award for outstanding regional restaurant, and racked up minor kudos and baubles everywhere it goes. Every kitchen makes its own batters and its own sauces, […]
The Doll House has been scrambling eggs since 1954. They also do Mexican and American favorites — if the chicken-fried steak doesn’t get you, the smothered burrito will.

Once owned by an investment group that included vocalist Ella Fitzgerald, the posh Burnsley Hotel has long been home to a first-rate jazz club; local vocalists, pianists and other swingers perform in the lobby bar Thursday through Saturday nights. The upscale, candlelit atmosphere and mellow sounds make this a great date spot. The dining room […]

The trio of spots in this homegrown chain of diners (two in Lakewood, one in Wheat Ridge) all feature huge skillet breakfasts and dense homemade cinnamon rolls, along with top-quality meats (don’t miss the corned-beef hash) and an array of dishes perfect for hangover cures. The uniformly cheerful servers will leave a whole pot of […]
