Cute location in Erie - kind of hard to find parking sometimes as its all street parking nearby. We went at brunch time with family while visiting from out of town as we heard all about the beignets. We did get food as well, but my focus at least were all on the beignets! They did not disappoint! All of it was good - there were 4 adults and one toddler at our table ...which seemed a bit small for all of us plus the food, but we made it work. This place was packed and popular. They do have outside seating as well with umbrellas. Service was good even though it was extremely busy at the time we went. Being tourists, my partner and me bought some of their signature spices, etc before we left. When we're back in town visiting the grandkid and family, I'll request another visit so we can sample more of the menu....and more of the beignets of course. read more

What went well: Everything. Father's Day breakfast was crowded, but the lovely and talented Preslee immediately seated me at the bar where Ryan engaged patrons in lively, entertaining banter. Fast service and an amazingly authentic Cajun breakfast bursting with flavor, read more

After a nice Sunday morning gym workout, I was craving a protein-heavy brunch to get me through the day. Also having lived in the South I was very curious to see how this creole cafe was. Sure enough, it was very impressive with matching festive decor as well. I ordered cheesy grits and had it with the pan fried trout. The two poached eggs were an added touch and additional protein for my meal. The fish was cooked just right. Flavorful, light, and slightly crispy. I ate at the bar where the bartender was conversational and had good customer service. I would definitely come back. read more

Lucile's previously had some issues... and I decided to give it a second chance. Glad I did! The food, service, and even the challenges with wasps in the outdoor patio has improved. The Egg Sordou was amazing and the side dishes are sizable. Good overall! read more

Lucile's Creole Cafe - Jennifer's with Potatoes - Cafes Near Me - Erie, Colorado

Lucile's is an amazing breakfast experience! The ambiance, food and service are the best. Their locations are often in historical houses and decorated with vintage items from creole/southern culture. Their menu also reflects that with traditional southern items such as grits, chicory coffee, beignets, red beans, buttermilk biscuits etc. The biscuits are huge and fluffy! The orange juice is fresh squeezed! What more could you ask for?! read more

We had been planning to go to Lucille's for a couple of months, but things got in the way. So, we finally made it. Service was excellent from the front door greeting to the table service. The restaurant sits in an old house and is charming. Our food was delicious - I had the gumbo and it reminded me of home. read more

Recently visited Lucile's for breakfast with a friend. This was an amazing find, excellent food, service, and location. The food is well prepared, certainly with creole influence. Will definitely visit again when in the area. Thank you! read more

I'm quite literally obsessed with Lucile's Creole Cafe. If you haven't eaten here, I recommend you you do. It's in Fort Collins, off of Meldrum and Magnolia. Best food. Best OJ Louisiana Ambiance to it all. They also have the best staff hands down. What're you waiting for? Get a move on read more

Lucile's wowed me. I wasn't sure what to order and server Jen gave me the best recommendations to match my preferences for a more traditional breakfast and get the great unique flare of Lucile's flavors. Bravo! I'll be back. read more

Excellent! Ate so fast no food pics. . Great atmosphere. Great service. Wonderful selection of food. Opened with some of the best Bloody Mary's I have had. Then Beignets: Homemade New Orleans style donuts! Nice. Wonderful consistency and very easy to eat. Then Eggs Pontchartrain: Fresh pan fried mountain trout, poached eggs, sauce béarnaise. Served with grits and huge buttermilk biscuit! The béarnaise sauce made it simply heaven. I can taste it now. The "jams on the table are delicious. Like the blue berry a lot. Syrup for French toast is to die for. A side of andouille goes well anytime. I will say we had at the table grits and some cheese grits. Personally I like the regular grits better. The cheese grits were nice. They also offer jalapeño cheese grits. Marvelous. read more

Eggs Benedict was fantastic and the Virgin Bloody Mary was just as good. The beignets were tasty, though we wished we'd asked for jam or sauce on the side. We loved the house-made hot sauce so much we bought four bottles to take home. We sat outside where a ton of wasps joined us for brunch, but we got used to them. We were basically feeding them by the end of the meal but they were gone by the time the bill came. Smh. Terri was our server. She was so friendly and wonderful all around. Great spot and we'll definitely be back! read more

We were visiting our eldest son and visited the Erie Colorado Lucille's. We had previously visited the one in Boulder CO. They are always busy and yet the service and food are always on par and very good. The tables and such are a bit crowded together and the noise level is significant but it is not intolerable. The staff is friendly and accommodating. Overall great breakfast place with a Louisiana flare. read more

Cute little place in downtown Erie. Food isn't bad, but not quite consistent. It's hit or miss. Sometimes it's very good, sometimes just mediocre. Maybe it's just me, but I do find the beignets a little on the dense side. The service has always been great though! read more

We live in Erie and come here a lot because we like the food but the last two times we have been have been the worst experiences. The first time we asked to sit outside and they sat us out there without telling us there was a major bee infestation. Ended up getting stung. Had to take all our own food inside and the waiter tells us after the fact that him and 3 other servers had been stung that day. ‍ Went again today and our waitress got our order wrong and when I told her it was wrong she was SO rude. And then was rude the rest of the time. She sighed and talked under her breath as she walked away. I don't think I've ever had a waitress be that rude before. I guess we will have to drive to a different location from now on. read more

Such a cute place for breakfast, loved how everything was seasoned to perfection. The beignets are a hit in my family, very nice people.

When you step into Lucile's, come prepared with a hearty appetite because the portions are incredibly generous! The best part? The food is absolutely delicious. Personally, I'm a huge fan of their breakfast options, so much so that I haven't ventured into trying their lunch menu. My all-time favorite is the Creole Omelet, with spicy sausage and diced ham in creole sauce. I have fond memories of devouring the entire plate during my pregnancies, but these days, I'll keep half of it to enjoy at home. On my last visit, I opted for the Cheese Omelet with a mix of white cheddar, muenster, and ricotta cheeses. I added bacon for an extra $4, but it turned out to be a bit too thin and fatty for my liking. That brought my dish to $17, and I've decided to skip the bacon next time, as the omelet would have been plenty yummy on its own. I always get the potatoes, they're among the best I've ever had. I also appreciate that they have an espresso machine. My cappuccino hit the spot, and my friends loved their Chai and hot chocolate. No iced tea or coffee though. Lastly, the service was very friendly, although they really embrace the New Orleans style, not doing separate checks. You have to do the math to calculate your share and they'll charge your cards individually. The only thing I wish they'd change. Lucile's is a fantastic spot for a satisfying breakfast! read more

Kind wait-service by Dr. (Danielle) Mimosa and delicious food! As this is my first visit to CO, I deferred all my outings to my hosts for where we would go to eat and they highly recommended we go here as this breakfast/brunch restaurant is one of their usual places. They couldn't stop telling me which options were tasty, and it seemed like everything on the menu was good. Today, parking was an issue since most of the roads were closed for a neighborhood run and a community trick-or-treating event for kids. For arriving around 9am at a place that opens at 7am, the inside of the restaurant was packed. There were people outside with coffee mugs waiting for indoor seating so I assumed it would take a long time for us to be called, but since we took the option to be seated outside, we were seated right away. Chicory Coffee (black): Easy drinking coffee alternative with low acidity, smooth body, and earthy taste Beignets: Large-sized and completely covered in powdered sugar! A little inconsistent on shape but it adds to the charm of the experience. We requested house-made apple and strawberry-rhubarb jams which were absolutely delicious! Eggs Eisenhower (Your choice of two eggs and your choice of grits with additional protein add-ons; comes with a generous portion of a house-made biscuit): Perfectly poached eggs over a runny-style of cheesy grits. I really appreciated that the cheese didn't overwhelm them flavor of the grits or thicken the consistency. Unfortunately, my biscuit was undercooked in the center, but the flavor was good and I liked that the top was crunchy. Mimosa: Fresh squeezed orange juice in a fluted glass with a split bottle of prosecco for you to add to your glass. Just a delicious experience which I recommend! read more

The absolute best! Get the Beignets. Not always on the menu but they'll do biscuits & gravy. Order extra sauce - absolutely delicious! All their juices and jams are homemade and simply scrumptious!!! I dream of Lucille's! read more

Biscuits as big as your head. Bloodys as tasty as can be. Attentive service every time. Fun vibe inside! I almost always have the creole breakfast with jalapeno grits. Perfect, every time. Ask for the apple butter for your biscuit, trust me! read more

The only thing we agree on with other reviews is the service was friendly. That my friends is where it ends. I was hesitant to go because of past bad experiences at the Longmont store. Yikes $50 for really bad Eggs Benedict I mean bad. The tiniest eggs they could possibly find. A drizzle of hollandaise sauce. Deli ham meat. Soggy English muffins. The potatoes were way over salted. All around horrible breakfast. This did it for us. We will never darken the door of any Lucille's again. read more

My family have eaten at this Lucile's location a number of Sunday mornings for breakfast. The food, service are both five star. The restaurant is in a small house that can be challenging to carry on a conversation with your party, it can be noisy when everyone is talking.There is a patio weather permitting that is great. On a Sunday there is ample parking at the closed Post Office diagonally across from the restaurant if street parking is limited. read more

Very basic food with Very limited selection and no kids menu. Been here twice. Food is OK, nothing special. Last time they sat 2 parties of 4 and a party of 2 before our party of 5.. Then they jammed us inside on a table that had been clean and open for 20 minutes. While outside they sat parties of 4 at a double table that seats 6 easily. The place is tiny inside and VERY LOUD and echos. To make it worse they turn up the music. I miss the old Rose Cafe that was here... Rose had a 10x better selection and much better food for the buck. read more

Lucille's is a breakfast staple. There's a bunch of locations around CO and we've visited quite a few, but Erie is our fav. Their biscuits are the best around. So flaky and crumbly with the most delicious buttermilk taste. I'd give those biscuits 5 stars on their own. The sausage gravy is also really tasty. If you enjoy creole/Cajun flavors there are so many great options on the menu. We really come here for the biscuits and everything else is a nice bonus. I love that they bring them out warm prior to the entree accompanied by an assortment of fresh jams. All around good breakfast in a nice atmosphere. read more

In Creole, "bon gou manje" means delicious food. At least that's what Google translate told me when I was searching how to describe Lucile's Creole Cafe! We stopped in on Saturday afternoon for a late brunch. When we arrived, the cafe was still very popping but there was a few tables open. We got seated, immediately. For two hungry cats, this was AHH-MAZING! Next, we were greeted by a delightful waitress. She explained what their chicory coffee was, and even though we passed on it, she still brought us a lil' taster of the famous coffee. I did not taste it, but my husband said he'd order that next time! He liked the mellow taste of it. It was "a smooth sipper" as he put it. When we ordered, I expressed to the waitress it was my first time. She happily went through the menu with me: listing her favorites, as well as, informing me that I could do a half order of some of the meals. I thought this was amazing news! I love Southern food, but a big loaded meal of it just leaves me feeling blah. Granted, I could eat less but if I order it... I'll eat it all. So, I took her up on this offer. I got a half order of their french toast with a side of their gravy to eat with a biscuit. WOWZA. It was such a solid move, and make it yourself sample platter of what the restaurant can offer it's consumer. I LOVED IT! The biscuit was fluffy inside, while having a crispy outside. The gravy was creamy, spicy and a MUST HAVE dipper for your biscuit. While my main course, the french toast was out-of-this-US-continent! It was clearly made with a long lost tradition that no Betty Crocker cookbook or viral tik tok has unlocked, yet. I'm saving the best for last, though. The cost of our entire meal was less than $40. WHAT? This place was "bon gou manje" and affordable! They will definitely see me back SOON. read more

Absolutely loved Lucile's! Food was delicious and everyone who worked there was so nice! We went for breakfast and I can't wait to go back!

Really good food and good service as well. The beignets, house made chai, and strawberries and cream were excellent. Very dog friendly patio. There are a lot of bees on the patio, so be careful if bringing your fur babies with you but otherwise I would definitely recommend! read more

Fun dining in Erie! Service was fantastic! Enjoy the community feel as your taste buds dance with the delectable flavors of New Orleans. Must get a small Beignet plate of 2 at least to get in the Mardi Gras mood. The creole breakfast has just enough spice without being too hot. The biscuits are world class and you will wish you could stop piling the strawberry rhubarb jam on the plate. It does get a little loud and tables are close so off hours are easier on the ears. Perfect to have a fun place for breakfast in the area! You won't be disappointed and happy you came! read more

Came here for brunch with an old friend. It's a very cute location with plenty of street parking. The service is also nice. In terms of food, they give large portions so my friend and I were able to share. Particularly the assorted fruit, it came huge! In terms of flavor though, I found everything to be average. The oats needed more flavor as did the sausage and beignets. But, coffee was good and fruit was fresh. Overall I'd return if I am in the area, because the prices aren't bad, to try something else. If I do return, I'll get a dish that has more substance like a hearty egg dish to explore more of the restaurant's flavor profiles. read more

I ordered several dishes to go because they all sounded so good. Guess what! They were ALL SO GOOD. I made a buffet when I got home. A little bit of each: red beans and rice, sausage gravy and fluffy biscuits, trout, collard greens, cheese grits, creole potatoes. What could go wrong? NOTHING. It was all delicious. And the lady who took my order on the phone Jen was so nice too. Food for the week. Thank you Lucile's. read more

We came in for a hockey tournament this weekend and are always looking for great local Restaurants. We were told by numerous people that we had to try Lucile's. We were immediately impressed as we pull up. The place is buzzing as we walk up. Terri the host is like a breath of fresh air. She immediately Greets us and asks us some fun questions about us and where we wanted to seat. She was extremely outgoing and you knew she loved her job. Nicki was our Server she also came to us almost immediately and greeted us and got our order going. Nicki was very attentive and gave us some awesome recommendations. Ok to the food which is what everyone wants to know. The Beignets are extremely good and if you don't order those you have made a mistake. Super lite and fluffy and almost melt in your mouth. The Latte's are amazing they are served in these huge coffee cups. So Fun makes you feel like you're in a small coffee shop. Ok Food like real food! I got the biscuits and Gravy. The home made Sause was delicious. So much meat in the gravel it's basically a meal on its own. The Biscuit is the size of a coffee plate. The biscuit is soft and fluffy and was delicious especially with the Gravy. My wife ordered the Omelette and Grits. She loved it and raved about the side of Fresh fries covered with cheese called Gumbo Fries. Such a fun unique place and we would highly recommend. We love to support small businesses like this. Five stars we will definitely be back next time we are in Colorado. read more
