The staff is beyond friendly and it really has that small town feel to it. The food is amazing especially when they have mexican specials. It is authentic mexican food and some of the best that my husband and I have ever had. Every time we go in we are greeted promtly and often they remember our names. Our son loves going there and we will continue to eat there even though we moved out of simla.

Chris had a ham sandwhich warmed up and he said it was very good. The service was excellent and the ambiance was warm and inviting! We would definitely come here again and so would our doggies!

I pulled into the parking lot and found cars with license plates from Texas, Florida, NY and Missouri. Received a beautiful welcome from the owner Pamela. The instant feeling is wow how calm this place is. The name Ahimsa means compassion or non violence in Sanskrit and Pamela has absolutely succeeded in creating a very fitting scenario with delicious coffee, ( she so generously offered me a sample to see if I liked her dark roast), comfortable couches, a lovely and soothing water fountain, beautiful grass for dogs, a special bin for dog waste, a really spacious and warm seating area, a wonderful employee who was so courteous and efficient. I saw folks enjoying their coffee with different pastries, muffins and goodies. Love the great prices. It was $2.50 for a small coffee. ( she steamed me milk). This is the best Zen, pet friendly ( oh a big selection of treats as well), calm and fun rest stop/coffee shop I have seen and been lucky to experience in my multiple drives across our great and beautiful country. Pamela told me that this used to be a bank till she converted it into this gorgeous haven 7 years ago. She showed me the drive up window and some of the construction. She was so kind and so caring. This was a fantastic and energizing visit and stop. Ahimsa or Compassion is a very appropriate name!

Plenty of options still for everyone. You're also able to order beer from the bar side even if you're on the restaurant side which was nice. The fries and house made ranch were very good. Chicken was a bit dry in the wrap and it was open on both ends so everything fell out which I thought was odd. It still hit the spot though. Employees were all nice and seemed like a family owned place. Lots of cute decorations on the wall and notes from customers and lots of regulars. Both waiters were open carrying firearms, so if this bothers you I would stay away.

The half-portion breakfast burrito was more than enough to fill one up. While it was okay, it benefited from a side of salsa to add flavor, which also helped to add dimension to the otherwise accompanying bland hash browns. Others in my party ordered the biscuits and gravy which they absolutely loved and again, the single biscuit order was enough to satisfy each of their appetites.

My mimosa was delicious. The steak however was pure gristle or fat. Showed the server how difficult it was to cut with a steak knife.

Ending up paying 45 dollars for food that was inedible.

We were excited to check out Cafe Leo before we left Woodland Park in May 2026. This was my…read moresecond visit overall and about five or six times for my daughter who lived in Woodland Park for over two years. I ordered a vegan BLT without bacon and she ordered a Colorado sandwich with sliced 7 grain bread instead of a Bagel and a Matcha Tea. The food and tea were tasty. After we returned home, I took another look at the receipt. Hidden charges were very apparent. This needs to be posted on the menu as well to inform customers! For example, Colorado sandwich with 7 Grain Bread. Additional $1.60! Vegan BLT with Cheddar Cheese no Bacon Add $.60! Matcha Tea with Oat Milk $1.15 plus adding Lite Ice $.30! I truly would like to be informed of these "hidden charges" before I order. This was a grand total of $3.65! Check out the $2.96 in local fees and taxes, too! Plus, I gave a tip! ouch! I'm not sure we will return, but hope others will learn from our mistake! Thank you for sharing! Three Stars for food out of five and Service needs to be improved, too!

We were even MORE thrilled when we found out this was a family owned restaurant! We ordered the steak, carnitas, and barbacoa tacos, tamale, and sopapillas. WOW! Everything was phenomenal. The tacos had so much flavor they didn't need the salsas provided. The tamale was tender and the perfect balance of masa and meat. The sopapilla was delicious but even more so reminded my dad of his grandmother's! You really must stop here and support local!

The restaurant part of the Silver Cliff Mountain Inn is known as Willie's! At first we were…read moresomewhat confused, however, I am really glad we sorted it out!!! Our breakfast was nothing short of fabulous!!! My wife ordered the Red Velvet waffles that had scrambled eggs and bacon on the side. I ordered the Eggs Benedict that was smothered in Hollandaise sauce and hash browns - not something that you will get at home on a regular basis. WOW!!! Both entrees were so good that it will have us coming back for more!! We had the privilege of meeting Willie as he was working the crowd. As we travel around the country, I find that if the manager/owner is working the crowd it's bound to be a great place - for sure in this case with Willie's. I told him that I call that "Leadership On Duty"!!! Three staff members also worked our table. Bow, Terri, and Summer, each had a division of duties and, as a result, we were really taken care of. The ambience was truly out of the western small town mode - clean, efficient service, and fabulous food. Four cups of the best coffee and a full stomach and was time to hit the road back home. Give Willie's a try as you will not be disappointed. Be sure to say "hi" to Willie, Bow, Terri, and Summer - they are the best.
