This used to be my favorite restaurant in Fort Collins and now it's one I won't bother coming back to. It's under new management and it shows. The quality of the food has gone way downhill while the prices have gone up. The menu continues to shrink to little more than the basics. On a positive note, you no longer have to wait for a table as everyone else has decided to go elsewhere as well. read more

Hands down one of my favorite breakfast spots in all of Colorado. I live in Denver and would consider driving there just to eat. From the Pumpkin Bread French Toast to the Sweet Potato Burrito you can't go wrong. You can tell everything is made fresh and in house. The servicers go above and beyond to make sure your experience is nothing less than extraordinary. I really also love the vibe, feels like you're eating at a cozy cottage in the mountains with a fun family vibe. The owners are always there and you can tell they really care about every last plate that comes out of that kitchen. Make sure to get one of the creative breakfast cocktails, my favorite is the Funny Bunny or the Bloody. read more

Absolutely amazing little restaurant. Has a great little vibe that seems kind of hippy but not over the top. I have been multiple times and will definitely be returning. I have always been greeted by happy faces and had pleasant service. The food is always amazing and I love the gluten free and vegan options. read more

If you are stopping in Fort Collins or live here, you need to eat here. This is my favorite breakfast place in town. You can find healthy food that doesn't make you feel bad, and it tastes amazing. They have a really fun outdoor patio. They also have awesome to-go breakfast burritos. read more

This is my go-to breakfast spot when I have to get to campus early and don't have time to make myself something to take with me! Their to-go breakfast burrito and coffee on weekdays has been a lifesaver many times. This is easily THE BEST BREAKFAST BURRITO I've ever had. The staff is always super friendly and chipper as well. Though I haven't yet dined in, the patio area looks super appealing. I may have to do brunch out there during the summer! P.S. they offer a punch card for breakfast burrito loyalty -- bonus! :) read more

I was skeptical about coming to Rainbow at first, having dietary restrictions means it's harder to indulge. Upon entering, it was a calm and relaxed environment. The employees wore different colored shirts in ways that fit them best, some were even decorated. It's great to see creativity in the workplace. Getting to the food, the wait was a little long but once it arrived it was obvious why. It was a steaming hot plate of egg scramble with vegetables and bacon, two gluten free toasts, and a side of watermelon and oranges. They have many options for vegan, gluten free, vegetarian, pescatarian, dairy free and nut free. They offered delicious vegan coffee cake as well as homemade gluten free french toast, gluten free pancakes and toast. I highly recommend this restaurant. read more

Great food and fast service! Very dog-friendly too! Amazing crew and great atmosphere.

I had the absolute best tofu scramble I have EVER had in my life! Got here early on a Sunday morning (before 8:00 a.m.) and was quickly seated. It seemed to fill up a bit after that point, but that seems to be typical with any great brunch place. Service was wonderful and they were constantly filling up my coffee and water before it was even empty. It is a little bit pricey, but for the quality and flavor of the food I would say it is worth it. read more

Love this place! Great breakfast, coffee and overall ambiance. I take people here for breakfast everytime they visit

The food was good but the service was pretty terrible. I was given mega attitude by the workers. If you're looking for a good breakfast in Fort Collins but don't care about customer service this is the place for you. However, if you do care about the way staff treats its customers I would recommend eating at one of the many other breakfast establishments in Fort Collins. Silver grill is always amazing and very unique. read more

Loved the vegan and vegetarian options. We had the Green Chile Plate and the Cashew Vegi with tofu. The staff is amazing!

The cheese sauce they put on their eggs Benedict is disgusting. It's gritty like an off brand Mac n cheese powdered sauce that didn't get mixed very well. Took two bites and didn't eat the rest. Waitress never came over until everyone in my party was done eating so I couldn't even order something else. Then when she took my plate away with a full plate of food and when I told her I didn't like it she didn't even offer to comp my meal. It might have just been an off day for that waitress but the meal I had sucked. All around a bad experience. I won't be back even though there might have been something good on the menu I would have eaten. read more

Outstanding food, staff, and decor! Vegetarians have lots of choices, all unique, delicious, and filling. Can't wait to go back! read more

This is such a great Fort Collins favorite and after getting such fabulous service from my waiter (Will) last week, I know I'll be going back again soon! Awesome food that's healthy and way different than you'll find anywhere else in town. Love the patio and the service I received added the perfect touch. read more

The food is fine, but it is way to expensive for a breakfast nook. I do not see what I am paying so much for. It's really nothing special, just a glorified iHop with much worse hours. I will not be coming here again. read more

I've since returned, and the service was spot on, the food magnificent, and the prices still very reasonable. I'm a customer for life.

Went there for breakfast and got seated quickly, although it was already fairly full. I had the fruit-filled crepe along with the blueberry iced tea and it was wonderful! We'll be back! read more

Rainbow Restaurant - A work of art. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Fort Collins, Colorado

Best place for vegetarian , gluten free and brunches. I love the fact that they do half orders if you want them to, because their portion sizes are HUGE. My favourites so far Ali Baba lettuce wraps Cashew nut sautee Scrambled vegetables and tofu with brown rice Yum! Warning - Service does tend to be a little slow. This place is meant to be enjoyed slowly. Their little courtyard (to eat out) is so pretty and peaceful! A very cozy, inviting place. read more

Gluten free friendly. They have many items that are gluten free or can be made gluten free. So why the one-star? They made me sick. I made it clear to the waitress that I needed gluten free food. She went back and checked on the soup for me. I ordered a turkey melt on gluten free bread and the soup of the day came with it. Another server brought our food out. I usually ask if something is gluten free multiple times. The bread did not look gluten free, it didn't have that crumbly falling apart look. That server said, oh I don't know, and took the plate back to the kitchen. My server was out a few minutes, maybe 10 minutes later. She assured me now the bread was gluten free. She assured me they remade my food. I had missed breakfast, only a banana. So I know they made me sick. I don't care what she said, they didn't remake my sandwich. They made me sick because they were too cheap to fix their mistake safely. read more

Lovely atmosphere. Got the pumpkin French toast and a mimosa, and a side of the breakfast potatoes. Plenty to bring home to boyfriend. Food was delicious, our waitress was funny, accommodating, and had great timing. read more

If your an old person that can't handle more than a dash of pepper to flavor things than this is the place for you. Service was great, atmosphere is beautiful. Food was dece, make sure to get some sort of sauces. Habanero Bloody Mary was the most flavorful thing on the menu. read more

Great food - large portions - vegan options. This is an excellent restaurant that makes great meals that are good for you. The service is great. Support a GREAT local restaurant in Ft. Collins. read more

Nice find in the Foco, only sad that i didnt find it earlier in life. This is one of the breakfast places in town that i have a reason to come back. They have an interesting menu, and the food was great and worth hoppin around the menu to try it all. I had the ultimate rainbow breakfast, which includes 2 sweet potato latkes, 2 eggs. fresh fruit, bacon, and a slice of pumpkin bread. washed this all down with an amazing iced chai, worth a visit in its own right. the latkes were good, covered with applesauce and sour cream. my only thoughts on that is pick one of those two toppings, for me the combo left a odd texture/flavor profile on my tongue. As has been previously stated the waitstaff can be a bit flakey. They have a great outdoor patio, with ample shading, great place to hang in the summer. Excited to become a repeat offender. read more

Been once, but we'll definitely go again. Had the "ultimate latke" made with sweet potatoes, apple sauce and sour cream. Delicious. Came with a good sized slice of ham, two eggs, pumpkin bread and a ton of fruit. It was great and very filling. The wait wasn't long to get in (maybe 5 minutes) but the wait to have our order taken and then the wait to have the food delivered seemed kind of long. Friendly staff. read more

Usually when I go to an "alternative-type" vegetarian restaurant, I know I'll get good food (hopefully), but I'll pay in terms of service, seating, atmosphere, pricing, etc. Rainbow broke my stereotype. Been here three times while visiting my daughter at CSU and the food, service, pricing, atmosphere, seating, et al all hit the mark. I need say no more. read more

We were visiting for CSU graduation and came here for breakfast. The staff was friendly, the atmosphere was fun, and the food was divine! All four of us devoured our breakfast selections and thoroughly enjoyed sharing a pitcher of mimosas! We will absolutely return next time we are in town! read more

This is a gem! The service was friendly and the location so cute. They have an outside waiting area that has iced tea and water, cornhole and lots of seats in the shade. Their bloody Mary was spicey and delicious. I got the curry tofu and it was amazing. My kiddo ordered the pesto eggs Benedict which was also scrumptious. We had a piece of their vegan coffee cake that was incredibly moist and mouth watering. read more

A breakfast of broccofu (broccoli, grilled tofu, brown rice), tempeh saute (tempeh, black beans, spinach, brown rice) and two cups of hazelnut coffee came out to $20. Unreal! And delicious and speedy. The Easter-egg colored walls and old black and white photos are pretty fun, too. read more

the food is great, and this is one of the best places in FoCo for vegetarians to have a lot of good options! staff is friendly, the inside and patio area are both great places to sit and relax while you eat, and all the food is fresh. highly recommend! read more

So incredibly delicious. This super cute little house on Laurel is most definitely a hidden gem of the restaurant world. I've been there for breakfast and dinner, and both were incredible. You can't help but feel a little excited when you look at their awesomely eclectic menu, and have a genuinely difficult time deciding what to order. A word of advice-- don't worry, everything I've ordered and/or tried was excellent. You just can't go wrong here. Check it out. Fo sho. read more

SO MANY VEGAN OPTIONS! We were staying at a nearby campground and we searched Yelp for vegan breakfast restaurants and ended up at Rainbow. The breakfast options were so extensive (and both our meals were delicious!!) that we came back that same day for lunch! Adorable and dog-friendly patio on the side is also great. The icing on the cake: after ordering the tempeh scramble for breakfast and soy milk with our coffees, the waiter actually asked if we are vegan and wanted our toast dry (no butter). I've never had a waiter thoughtful enough to ask that, and I always forget to mention it and end up sad when my toast arrives buttered on an otherwise vegan meal. Thank you Rainbow!! read more

The best breakfast option for vegans in the Fort Collins area. Tofu, Tempeh and full flavor! Absolutely delicious - a must have every time I return to my old stomping grounds! If you're a veggie or a vegan, I make the trip or two out to this wonderful restaurant. read more

Maybe the best restaurant in foco. A big delicious menu that vegitarians & carnivores alike will enjoy. It's unique- but the food isn't scary or hippied out- it's fantastic. The tempeh rocks. read more

This was the most disappointing breakfast I've ever paid for. The Rainbow French toast cost $12.75 and consisted of overcooked, dry bread that could best be described as sad, uncooked strawberries blueberries bananas and whole grapes. Ever tried to stab a grape with a fork? I don't recommend it. To get syrup, possibly the only saving grace for this atrocious meal, would have cost extra. My empty water glass and coffee mug sat on the edge of the table the entire meal, only to have my water filled after giving up trying to eat. Get it together. read more

Great menu, and accommodating to folks with varying diets, I highly recommend this place. I stopped in for breakfast with a friend, and we both really enjoyed what we ordered. My friend has celiac disease, and asked for a gluten free huevos rancheros. Her plate originally came with a flour tortilla, but the were quick to replace it with a new plate. Other than that, everything was wonderful and delicious! I'll be back! read more

I feel betrayed by Yelp. Went for dinner. Good service but shitty shitty food.

Fantastic food, good portions, fair prices and the patio on a summer day can't be beat.

I come here every time I am in Fort Collins. Their soups and baked goods are delicious. I also highly recommend the Eggs Florentine with herb polenta. Their patio is delightful, but on a cold day, the interior of the restaurant is very charming. read more

Busy Sunday morning breakfast, handful of bummer service related things happened. Product of being busy, understandable, but unacceptable all around. I asked for a manager, got the owner, and he handled it perfectly. I was hoping for a comp for the girl that got spilled on, the whole meal for five of us was comped. Service has been excellent every other time, it's nice to see exceptional service in light of some understandable bummers too. Food was absolutely delicious as always. read more

No need to go searching for the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow, because as luck will have it, rainbow restaurant is pure gold. I had brunch here over the weekend, and this place is the restaurant trifecta: warm & welcoming environment + kind & attentive staff + tasty & creative dishes. If y'all need to light up your foodie life, taste the rainbow. read more
