    Delicious fresh omlet. Ham was so good.
    Kate E.

    I've been here twice now when visiting and you just can't beat the charm and the "off the beaten path" vibes here. You truly feel like you've walked into a friendly neighbor's home and they've decided to cook for you....next to a fire...at their dining table. It's so cozy. I've just had breakfast here so far. It's fresh and home cooked tasting. My sister and other family members rave about the huevos rancheros. We also always rave about their coffee...they add a touch of cinnamon to it. It's so good and just something different to enjoy. Our service this time could have been a bit better...perhaps our server was new, as my sister said she doesn't typically have that experience. If you find yourself coming through or near Allenspark, don't miss this true one of a kind experience.

    A friend took me there for breakfast today. He's been eating there for nearly 40 years. I had the 4 egg Mexican omelet with homemade salsa and wheat toast. Home fries. I'm so sorry I forgot to photograph the food. It was chilly outside and we devoured the food as soon as it arrived. It was plentiful and well presented. I asked for the potatoes crispy and they were perfect. The Omelet was large and perfectly cooked. The fresh salsa was spicy, with a hint of habanero. It was a perfect breakfast. Highly recommended. 8am-2pm only. Wednesday thru Sunday. It's worth the drive.

    Was driving through Allenspark today and came across this cute little place and we decided to try, we're glad we did. Good food, beautiful scenery, friendly staff. It's off the beaten path but worth the drive. Note: they advertise that they are not fast food, if you're in a hurry, don't stop. You need to be able to have time to relax and enjoy.

    This spot is truly a gem - a quintessential mountain town eatery with delicious food, a feel like you're in someone's warm mountain home and very welcoming servers. It's small so probably good to get there early. Clearly a place that respects the beautiful nature it's in and encourages you to slow down and enjoy where you are.

    Meadow Mountain Cafe....Allenspark, CO!  Great Breakfast !

    What a great find right outside of Estes Park, in Allenspark! First, this pretty and quaint little Cafe is so welcoming ! We arrived @ 8:am and we're immediately greeted by our friendly waiter. We chose a little corner table outside on the pretty little porch, watching all of the feisty little hummers jockey for position at all of the feeders . I ordered two buttermilk pancakes that were as by as my plate and, were the best I've ever eaten....with a side of bacon and potatoes with onion & bell pepper...so dang good! My husband & our daughter's boyfriend ordered two fried eggs, bacon, home fries & Homemade Wheat Toast and Homemade Strawberry Preserves, with some of the best coffee they'd had in a long time...they think that they detected a hint of cinnamon...? Our daughter ordered the Crystal Springs Spinach Omelette with a side of sauteed mushrooms and potatoes with bell pepper & onions and a glass of freshly squeezed Orange Juice...perfect! It is the perfect little breakfast spot, situated just below the beautiful Rockies! Meadow Mountain Cafe has been in the Allenspark since the 1920's, and the locals say, it hasn't changed a bit. Meadow Mountain Cafe is a cozy little cabin with a toasty little potbellied stove inside. The cafe has been owned and operated by the St.John family for three generations. We will certainly be back! **Be sure to call and check their hours before you head out because, it Does Change...and, don't be in a hurry, because, they aren't. = )

    This place was amazing I stopped here after a 10 mile hike in the Rocky Mountains…read more They have plenty of options me and my brother also ordered their avocado toast it was refreshing

    Kind Coffee is a great place to fuel up in Estes Park. Located at the beginning of the main drag of…read morecool, small businesses, they are quite busy pretty much all day! *Pro tip when in Estes* park in the free visitor garage and walk along the river to this part of the town. You can beat the surrounding views and the hassle free parking! They roast their own coffee, have a large menu of coffee, tea, milkshakes, smoothies, toasts, burritos, bagels, and oatmeal. I think they had about five women behind the counter. As I stated this place is popping and I loved seeing a properly staffed shop! It was warm out and I didn't want my standard iced americano. So I asked them if they could make me a cold brew lemonade and they happily obliged. 2/3 cold brew, 1/3 lemonade, I love this stuff. It sounds odd, but trust me, it goes down smooth on a hot day! Lots of space inside to sit, considering they have a hidden back room where the bathroom is with tons of seating. But the seasoned move is to sit outside on their patio or near the river if spots allow. I usually have a go-to in Estes that isn't Kind Coffee, but after a less than stellar experience there recently, this place might be my new spot. If you're willing to wait in a little bit of a line, you won't be disappointed here. Support your local coffee shops!

    On our way to hike Gem Lake, we needed some food before and found this place. It was a Saturday…read more(6/21/25) and the line was to the door, but we were committed and wanted to get on the trail. Took about 15 minutes to get the order and then another 15 minutes to get it, but worth it. We got breakfast and the burrito was not too heavy to hike 4+miles on. The artwork is cool at this place, but it was small. We took it to go and my friend enjoyed his bagel and coffee.

    I was in town so I stopped to have breakfast and a chai. The cinnamon roll was the best I have ever…read moretasted! Top Notch! The chai was good. The breakfast sandwich was good and came with exactly what I asked for in it. The best part of the experience was the service. This young woman helped me and I heard her for roughly 45 minutes while I ate. She had a great attitude, a smile on her face the entire time, and handled the fact that they were short one person like a champ. Even though they were slammed, she never changed her smile, tone, or attitude. I was very impressed. The space was eclectic with some very fun decor. The outdoor patio was unusable as people were smoking, which was disappointing. The reason I gave 4 instead of 5 stars was due to the man making the food/drinks. I stood at the counter and watched him make drinks for at least 10 customers after me before even starting my breakfast sandwich. It was disappointing to wait through customers behind me to eat.
