    Florentine-free the hippie

    Great service! Fast and friendly. Large menu with a variety of options at good prices. A good classic breakfast spot. Food didn't blow me away, but also no complaints. Would definitely go back because of how awesome the servers are!

    Crispy Chicken Wrap
    Kristin ..

    Passing through Gunnison and wanted a quick bite from a local place. I unfortunately rolled in ten minutes before closing but they still had patrons and were kind enough to let me order to go. I ordered the crispy chicken wrap and it was fresh and delicious.

    Good lunch while taking a trip through the mountains. Comfortable, reasonably priced and decent service. The grilled turkey, with delicious bacon, served on sourdough was a hit. Freshly brewed ice tea, with the refill I had to ask for more ice -- Ice goes in iced tea and warm tea, melts the ice. Clean inside. Friendly, nice people at the cafe. Good comfort food, nothing fancy here.

    Potatoes deep fried? No butter on toast. OJ bad and soured. Service good - food not so good.

    They catered my daughter's wedding in July, 2026. Food was AMAZING! They were wonderful to work…read morewith, great menu suggestions, reasonable pricing compared to other caterers in the area, food was fresh and presentation of food was lovely. I have had more guests tell me that it was the best wedding food that they have ever had. I would highly recommend Burnell's.

    What a find! We were road tripping through the area on our way to Boulder and found this excellent…read morelittle local food truck. Everything was so fresh and tasty. Super friendly service and very accommodating for my no dairy requirements. I had the veggie burger, which was probably the best veggie burger I've ever had. This thing was so fresh tasting, there's no way it was prepared from being frozen. Full of quinoa, corn, etc. super duper delicious remoulade on a really good gourmet bun. Of course, I forgot to take a pic, but, I did manage to document my eating mates selections. See those pics - albeit, half eaten. Upgrade your order to the sweet potato tots, don't even hesitate, they're healthy and come with a mustard seed aioli sauce that makes the whole meal 360 degrees of scrumptiousness. I wish I had room in my pie hole for the donut ice cream sandwich - my only regret. Go off your intended route to try this place. McDonald's and Taco Bell don't need you. There's lovely tables and chairs under the trees that are clean and stocked with napkins and hand sanitizer. A really nice break in our trip!
